[NC-Trooper]

Hey everyone,

My name is John and I'm from just outside of Charlotte, NC. I just recently bought a ratty 1999 Isuzu Trooper that I am in the process of fixing up to and converting into a overland rig. I am all about doing stuff myself and on a budget.

I would say I have extensive camping experience and I have moderate off-roading experience but only for very short distances. I am looking forward to combining 2 things that I love and I am really thankful to have come across OB.

Hey everyone,

I'm located in Plano, TX. Just purchased a 2017 4Runner TRD Off-Road after many jeeps. I've been part of the Overland community on and off since 2006 due to a challenging career. Look forward to joining you on the trail for great adventures.

I'll upload pics as soon as we get her ready!

 

[TRD Taco 2017]

Hello all! I am OB3740 and am currently located in the Phoenix, AZ area. I have a 2017 QuickSand TRD OF Taco that is currently stock, but I cannot wait to start turning this into my ultimate Overland rig! I am new to Overlanding, but 4 wheeling has been a staple in my life since I can remember.

Hello Eugene! I'm fairly new to the group myself, but since I'm in Alaska I figure we're almost neighbors! As to your map place showing as red, that is what you see when are viewing the map from your log in page, the rest of us will see you as yellow. It's the same for me, when I'm logged in, I see myself on the map as red but I see you as yellow. To "upgrade" your account, go to your "profile" and scroll down on the left side the the "Upgrade Account" button. This will give you the option of upgrading to a fee based monthly subscription if you like. I do not believe this upgrade is something you have to do. Hope this helps!

Tnx my friend! Many days I can not come to forum. Security....(
Thanks for your help. I could not answer. The forum did not post my messages.

Hey Now!!

I'm Mace from NorthWest Arkansas. Wooo Pig Sooie!!
Got my first Jeep an 04 special edition, haven't started actually building on it as I wanted to go through it and make sure it was mechanical sound first. Always been an avid outdoorsman (when my trucking job and family duties allow it). Looking forward to good conversation and hopefully learning a bit!

[JKU Overlander]

Nate Britton here out of northeast Ohio. I drive a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I'm new to the overland scene. My sister (another new member here) is just a few days away from a long anticipated delivery of a brand new special order 2017 Toyota 4-Runner TRD Pro. So naturally, we are looking forward to some off road adventures together this year and we were both drawn to Overland Bound due to its non-specific definition of overlanding as well as the non competitive nature of the network. Looking forward to meeting some great people here.

Name: Adam

Location: Middle Tennessee

Rigs: 2000 LX470,
96 Montero SR,
94 Montero LS (rolled this one a few years ago, very slowly working at removing the body and replacing with a tube frame, honestly will probably be junk from sitting so long before I'm done).

Experience: Novice, don't know how it took me so long to find overlanding, it is a perfect fit for my family and me.

Hello! I am a senior in high school and I drive a 2007 super white tacoma, I also have a 1999 TJ that I am selling to buy more parts for the taco! I live in the mid-west and love, running, mountain biking, and hiking. Looking forward to getting out there more once I graduate!

 

[@advanturing]

Hi Overland Bound - we are @advanturing and excited to be here in this network. We are from New Zealand but join us as we first build out, then explore the parks & backroads of the Pan-American continent in our Sportsmobile 4x4 Sprinter Van. 2017 is our 2nd year living on the road and we look forward to driving to Overland Expo in Flagstaff in May before heading north to Yukon and Alaska. Our van is a lowroof 2016 Sprinter 4x4 144 with Sportsmobile conversion and poptop by the team in Fresno. All the photos of our trip and adventure to date are on Instagram. Look forward to seeing you on the trail. Eze 34:25

Hello all,
New member (as of Nov. 2016) #3276 from Los Angeles, CA.

Goodness. Apologies to whoever the real OB# 3276 is. I hadn't realized that I had been typing my # incorrectly on my phone since I downloaded the app - and even had it wrong in my signature.

I've since corrected it, and wish I could go back and update it anywhere it's been posted. Drat.

[WhiskeyIsMySpiritAnimal]

Hello,

My name is Rob, I'm happy to be joining Overland Bound. My wife and I just moved to Scottsdale AZ from Kansas City so we are eager to get out and explore the west. I am a total novice to Overlanding as well as Off-Roading as there just isn't much opportunity for it in the Midwest. I am however very familiar with the car camping concept as I've been doing it since a kid.

Our rig is a 2017 Subaru Forester XT, soon to be joined by another Subaru Forester XT in Dec. No mods yet except the roof basket, I'm thinking one will get lifted and the other lowered as a canyon carver. We'll see.

Here are some pictures of the rig on our recent adventures and a bonus pic of Guinness the Adventure Dog

 

[TBarr]

Hey all,
I am fairly new to overlanding but have been in the off road scene for a while. I'm located in Spokane WA and currently have a 2002 Ford Explorer but am hopefully going to be replacing it with a bronco ii soon because of how much I miss my old one.

 

[DuncNasty08]

Hey everybody! had my badge for about a month now but just now getting the profile going on here!
Name is travis, OB# 3594. originally from Bakersfield, CA. Spent the last 9 years in the Army. Currently in Concord, CA (East bay San Fran area). I've got a 2012 Toyota Tacoma double cab/short bed. Nothing major done to it yet. Bilstein 5100's front and back, Tepui RTT over the bed, Arsenal 50" curved light bar on Cali-raised LED brackets, 2 arsenal offroad ditch lights mounted on Rago Fabrication ditch light brackets. Not too much "Overlanding" experience, but plenty of camping experience around the Kern County CA area

Hi everyone, we are from New Zealand and Germany but live in beautiful Australia. What an awesome Forum to be part of. We are hoping to take our 2.8l Turbo Diesel Nissan Patrol to the States beginning of next year.
God bless you all [emoji3]

Hi everyone! My name is Brooke and I'm in Ohio. Ordered my membership badge and should be here any day. As of today, I have a 2017 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro. I ordered it back in November of 2016, and it's finally here! My brother is JKU Overlander so give him a follow. (we're TRD_JKU_Overland on Instagram) We're looking forward to hitting up some trails so we were happy to find OB. I love that it doesn't matter what you drive! Looking forward to learning some new skills, checking out new areas, and... of course CAMPING!
