Hey everyone!

Excited to be here. My wife and I used are COVID lockdown time last year to buy, tear down and build out a 2005 Jeep Wrangler TJ, so we could start using it this year! While the projects never end, its mostly done.

We hail out of NW USA in Washington State. We also have a 2008 Ford F-250 6.4L diesel that has some initial modifications to it, but we intend to build it out as well more for the camping side of overlanding.

We've been camping, RV'ing, all the outdoor kind of things for many years, but this is our first Jeep buildout for just the two of us to take some adventures on! Looking forward to sharing and gaining knowledge and meeting new people!

Hello , Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. @ is your closest member representative.
To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).
Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.
Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.
Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.
Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.
Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.
Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.
Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.

Welcome from another TJ lover
If the border was open, we'd only be a few hours apart

I scrolled thru some of your jeepinky build thread, nice job, lots of good, unique ideas.
I too am a fan of a rear shelf but ours is for a dog bed.

This one was 25 years ago.

Fantastic! The TJ is just the ultimate Jeep, you can do so much to them. Maybe one of these days we can meet up on a trail somewhere!
