Hi John,

Welcome again!

As already introduced in our chat regarding OTTO expo, my name is Bjoern and I am one of the European Ambassadors for Overland Bound. Your neares OB Local Expert is @NotGumby

Look around here and you'll find plenty of good information about overlanding in Europe and many members who are happy to help you. In the regional subforums you will also find a lot of information. Check the map for POIs and please take a look at the Rally Points for planned meetups. There you can filter by region, e.g. Mid Europe for Germany. So, you already signed up for our meetup at OTTO expo. That's great. Looking forward to see you there.

If you have any questions please ask. I am always happy to help.

Greetings from currently Turkey,
Bjoern

A very belated introduction. My name is Tat Ko and this is my 75th year alive and will be starting my 76th year after Christmas.

I was able to see a lot of places around the globe during my time as a Service member. Now I am going to work on seeing what beauty this country awaits my exploration.

Bought a 1996 Toyota T100 6 years ago and was working to outfit it for travel but health concern set me back. Now that the miracle of modern medicine and the magic hands of a heart surgeon the diseased parts were excised and now I can continue my journey.

Still have a lot of prep work, my 1st favorite hobby is to work with my hands in building my vehicle for the next journey. Lucy, the red extended cab 1996 Toyota T100 just had 18" of truck bed chopped off and renamed Luci, short for Lucifer TV show. I also added a more conservative dark green 1996 T100 with manual transmission for longer trips. Green, also an extended cab pickup, has camper shell and can be taken out for short trip. My goal is to outfit both with heavier axles and strengthened frame for the lot less traveled roads.

I am not an in-crowd person but have lots of pictures on my projects to post in the near future. Recently also joined Face Book Bay Area Overland Group and likely be more active in 2025.

Greetings Tat Ko, welcome to Overland Bound!
