Hi Folks,
i joined OB in 2018 but i haven't written or participated much, but now i want to introduce myself!

I'm 31 born and living in Germany near Stuttgart. We -- my girl and I -- are traveling via a Pajero Sport with some Mods.
We did several Mid/West Europe Trips and wanted to visit Sardinia around Easter, but Corona-Lockdown did it's best to cancel this.

Attached a couple Pics of our Rig,
see you on the Road or (hopefully) on a Rally Point "soon"

Hello everyone,
Name is Jose, new to the group and new to Germany, Kaiserslautern area. Haven't done much overlanding but have done plenty of camping. Looking forward to traveling Europe with the wife and possibly my dogs.

As far as my vehicle goes, it's a stock 2002 toyota 4runner, planning to lift and get bigger tires this summer. I know germany is strict on vehicle modifications so hopefully somebody could guide me along as to what is allowed and what isn't.

Hope to see some of ya'll out there at some point, excited to be a part of this group.
Welcome.
It is possible to do it legally. There are some Toyota dealers in Germany that also modify vehicles for overlanding and get the proper TUV approval for lift and tires.
To name just a couple Toyota Nestle, Extremfahrzeuge and for sure there are more. It is not cheap, but they use quality parts and they take care of all the approvals for you.

Hello you all,
Welcome here.
If you need anything about driving, technical stuff, events and more, and we can help out we will do so.
For some trips and meet ups just look at the Rally points in the Mid Europe Region.
We also have a Facebook page which also is filled with info and data.
Find Facebook Overland Bound Mid Europe.

The next two weekend we do have some meet ups and trips.
Fabian is organising a nice event in the south of the Netherlands. So go to the rally point and see what is going on.
Myself I have a very small event here in the east of Holland. Also all details are at the rally point.
Great oppurtunity to get to know some people.


Enjoy your stay at Overland Bound.

Greetings from Robert

I just want to say « Hello » to all overlander here.

I am Advandexpeditioncruiser from south of France.
As far I can remember I still have overland. I am young I know but my parents have this life style of offroading and overlanding in any free times. So it is like I was born in overlanding.
I actualy drive a 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser HDJ80 since 5 years and a 2010 KTM 990Adventure R. In the past I had a Renault 4L and a Land Rover Discovery 200Tdi and a Toyota Land Cruiser KZJ70.
I going out for exploration as often as possible because it is the only time I feel in ma place.
I had the chance to visit France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sweeden, Norway, Romania, Ukraine, Morroco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lybia, Peru...
I have the chance to work with my passion at Dream Team Car company (French offraod specialist).
I hope to find some good informations, friendly overlanders to share ideas/tracks/beers.




ps: if somes want to see more pics of my rig just come to see on instagramFE1D983B-9BFC-4611-9650-8BD62F08835F.jpeg
