[Scott_3ba81a]

My name is Tyler.

1) Birmingham, AL
2) 100 series Land Cruiser. Recently bought it from my dad who bought it new in 2003.
3) I am new to off roading and I look forward to building up my land cruiser. I am a pretty avid cyclist (mtn & road), so I look forward to building a good camping vehicle that I can drive around the southeast to camp and cycle.

Glad to be apart of OB as it will be a good resource for me to learn from experienced overlanders.

Hey Tyler, Welcome to OB! Glad to see a fellow Alabamaian!! I am also very new to Overlanding, but not regular camping. Hope to meet sometime at a Meetup!

2) Location (General area is fine) - Los Angeles, CA

4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!) - Less than Novice (I know absolutely nothing).

Greetings Simon, welcome to Overland Bound!

 

[Shahn]

Hello All; I am entirely new to Overlanding and look forward to learning all I can. I recently purchased a newer truck, a 2023 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X, and I absolutely love it. I would like to kit this truck out for overlanding and would appreciate suggestions and ideas. I would also welcome meeting up with other people in my area (central Alabama) and learning from them. I attached a pic of my truck. Are there any other people on the forum who have a 2022-2025 Nissan Frontier setup for overlanding? I would love to get some ideas. Thanks.

Greetings Scott, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hi I am guido I think I might be the first member in South America, why this place is not even recognised as a region. Just wondering what the level of support will be and how relevant this site is to someone that is going to be the trail blazer. Any members been here and posted on the continent before? I search South America and nothing came up. Arrived in Santiago from New Zealand two weeks ago and going through learning Spanish, buy my Prado, negotiating the paperwork for ownership and border crossings and getting kitted out. Bit like the guy falling out of the high rise saying half way down” so far so good”

Hi Guido, you will find a lot of members in South America. Actually, I have no idea why South America isn't a region on OB. But we exist! :-) And we are here to enjoy this beautiful continent to practice overland! I created this thread a few years ago. (South America - routes and locations) And you will find some more on the forum. Welcome to OB and to South America too! ;-)

Hey Doug, today we crossed sardinia to the south, because of the weather. Today and the next days its going to be very rainy in the north. In the south its sunny and warm, Beach weather. Perfect!

Greetings Thorsten
