We started off roading back in 2015 when we bought our 2013 Honda Ridgeline. A year in a half later we bought our 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Both rigs have seen their fair share of dirt, mud, sand and bushes. We also go out on recoverys if need be, I wouldn't say we are new to off roading but I wouldn't say we know it all either, we learn something every trip out. We know what trails we can't go down either, but we do stretch our legs on e in a while.We live in Downey, Ca but spent most Sundays in Azusa where I volunteer with Forest Service in the OHV.

Greetings from Newcastle Australia guys.
Heres a couple of snaps of my Mitsubishi Triton 2.5 Turbo Diesel or for you foreigners the L200. Just installed the Tonneau cover this morning as I have a baby due in a matter of weeks and needed somewhere i could put the pram and not have it rained on. That has also slowed my plans for my camping setup i had planned for the tub. A few more cosmetic changes due in the next couple of weeks and also have new underbody bash plates to install this weekend.
loving all the rigs I'm seeing on this forum, so much inspiration for my own rig. Happy overlanding!!!
Hey all,
Located near enough to Portland Or to count. I have been an avid outdoorsman for most of my life, and look forward to may more adventures. My wife and i just got a 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport, but before that it was an 08 Jeep Comander. We enjoy getting out as much as possible, and have several trips planned for this summer.
Maybe we will see you on the road.

First off, I am am so happy to be apart of the Overland Bound Community! I have been in the Jeep community for years, starting with a stock TJ that ended up with a stretch, comp-cut fenders and 38" Pitbulls... but, after my first Overland Experience in March of 2016, there is no looking back as this life style is exactly what we have been looking for. Last spring, my then girlfriend and I set out to Pike National Forest in Colorado from Dallas, Texas. We arrived as boyfriend and girlfriend and left with a new chapter to our lives as an engaged couple. We trekked straight to Pike National Forest, then headed back south, stopping at The Royal Gorge and Palo Duro Canyon. Since then, we have done several trips to the Ouachita National Forest as well as the Ozark National Forest.

That 2014 WK2 looks nice.. I am also a fan of the WJ and I would still like to purchase one of those as well - love the vari-loks. Great vehicles, what engines are in them?
love the rigs!! also congrats on the engagement!!
also welcome over to the overland bound community!
the more I see the wk2s lifted and on bigger tires the more I want one!!
the wj (99-04) only came with the 4.0 inline 6 or the 4.7l v8 power tech (99-01) or High output (02-04) options available on this engine

We were looking at an '02 Overland with the High Output V8 and if it did not have rust on it I would have purchased it. My only fear of owning a GC is when the heater core goes out and I have to spend $1200 to replace a $35 (core). Which is why we decided on the 4Runner
The WJ has the 4.7L which has about 1000 miles on it and the WK2 has the 3.6L. The factory gearing in the V6 WK2s is perfect for the 33s.

Lots of wheeling experience all over the country, but still a novice to overlanding which is rapidly becoming my favorite past time.
