Hi Folks!

My name is Chris. Currently living in exile south of the border. My overlanding experience is basically driving as far as I can up a dirt road and then setting up camp to backpack, hunt, or fish. Currently driving a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 which unfortunately spends most of its time on pavement these days. If anyone knows of any overlanding groups here in Mexico I'd love to hear about them! The only off-roaders I've found so far have been rock crawlers which isn't my thing.
Hello Chris, welcome to Overland Bound.

That is awesome! I appreciate the invite! I'm still working hard on my truck, I have a lot of work I still need to do before I go on a trip.
I was building the truck in Wyoming and I drove it around out there but there's no brake lines and needs a new clutch and stuff. If my rig was finished I would absolutely love to go with you guys!

No brake lines? Sounds like fun! :)

Have fun getting it finished and look forward to meeting you. Rig is looking great!

Thank you sir! Out in the oil patch in Wyoming where I was building it I put about 400 miles on it with no brake lines, I was feeling froggy one day and tried climbing up the side of a really steep hill and ended up spinning out and sliding down backwards, I kept dumping the clutch with the engine revved up to let the tires dig and slow the truck down, now it needs a new clutch too, sometimes the clutch slips when I've driven it for 30 minutes or more, so after that I stopped driving it until I get it finished lol and now that I'm in Washington I'm in a city and don't want to risk being around other vehicles lol
