Howdy folks! Tom in North Texas here. Looking for a meetup, travel planning and first real overlanding trip (short route, one or two nights). It would be great to make a trip during the fall of '24.
Thanks folks! Be safe out there.

Hiiiii all -

Anya from San Diego - New to this forum and overlanding. A lot of camping, outdoors, and sports experience!
I just bought a 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport CrewCab. Topped it off with a ProTops camper shell for now and laid in DECKED to make for a bed platform, so that I can travel with my large dog who can't get into a topper tent. Currently working on a Goose 40% 2nd row seat delete. The truck is a bit heavy and long but extremely comfortable. Living accommodations are the current priority and the rest can come later.

In that forward thinking: I am interested to learn more on how to upgrade such a vehicle for whatever off roading folks think I can get away with.

Also looking to meet overland enthusiasts in SoCal :)

Hello Everyone!

Brandon here, I live in South Africa, and have a 2007 Subaru Forester XT that i use as my daily/ weekend toy. Love driving in sand as well. I would love to completely overland my rig, but doing it slowly in time. Current upgrades are Peddars full suspension, the photos attached are from a recent trip into Namibia. Planning to go again, but include Botswana, and drive up to the Angolan border.

Cheers!

Hello all,
My name is Johnny, and my wife is Luana. We moved from Washington State a little over 2 years ago to Northern New Mexico. At the beginning of this year, we purchased an overlanding trailer and started adventuring around New Mexico with some planned trips to Northern Arizona, Utah, and Colorado. Would love to meet up with someone from either of those states.

Welcome to Overland Bound Johnny & Luana.
NM is one of our favorite states to travel.

Hey everyone, I’m Jay.

I live in northern IL and work in WI, I’m just FINALLY getting into overlanding. I’m former Army and I’ve always been into survivalism, so overlanding/boondocking/camping/whatever you wanna call it, is right up my alley. I’m also looking forward to finding some cool lesser known locations, and getting outdoors to hike and fish, etc.
I work a corporate job which takes up a lot of time and energy, so my goal is to unplug and unwind and enjoy nature, meet cool people, and have great experiences. That’s what life is all about after all!
Anyway, I’m in the process of purchasing a 2010 Frontier and plan to go with a rooftop tent on top of a low rack (13”). I plan to lift it a couple inches and put some tires on it that are more suitable for offroad (but still great for cross country trips).
I’m excited to learn all about overlanding, survivalism, and the outdoors. This is something I’ve wanted to make a hobby/lifestyle for a long time and I’m finally able to start so I’m very excited! Hair to be here with everyone!

New member, I’m Michael, just bought a 2007 FJ and looking to get into over-landing more. Looks like the rig was previously owned by member #17212 I’d love to meet who owned it and see what mods they did and what fun they had with it. Thanks!View attachment 285040
