Welcome, Mike. Nice rigs. I owned 2 Subaru's back in the 80s and they were quite impressive. You're set up very well!
Happy travels!

@armyRN Welcome Paul. I am excited you decided to join Overland Bound. I see you are from Longview Washington. As you probably know, you are in the Northwest Region. The Regional Director is @Kent R . We currently have 4 Member Representatives. @Gabriel Bozeman is the closest to you, he is always planning some kind of adventure, so feel free to message him to find out what he has planned. @Munga Brown is the Member Rep for the Oregon Coast. I (@Slimpartywagon) am the Eastern Oregon Member Representative. @Sandpoint Steve is the Member Representative for Idaho.
The Member Reps are here to help you stay informed on activities going on throughout our region. The director makes sure we are informed as well as knowledge on what is going on in other regions.


Overland Bound has much to offer besides just the forums. By becoming a member, you have access to the Rally Point, where you can set up trips, meetups, or classes. You can also view up coming events on the Rally Point. Member Maps shows you members in your area, trusted shops, campgrounds, dispersed camping, and lots more. Then the biggest advantage (for me at least) is keeping this forum alive.

Michael,

Unfortunately I'm in San Antonio, TX. I love the NW and get up there as often as I can. Looks like a lot of activities in your region. I'll have to check out the Texas and SW areas.

Thanks

Scott, there are also a lot of activities in your area. You are in the Southwest Region, check out Overland By Region-Southwest for information about what is going on in your area.

also check out Overland Bound Meetups for campouts, meet and greets, trail rides, and other activities going on in your area.

@brien is your Regional Director f contact him with your questions regarding who your closest member rep is as well as information regarding activities that might not yet be posted.

One last thing , as a paid member you have access to the Rally Point where you can create your own events. Most of the events I post are events put on by regular paid members who let me know what they are doing so I can in turn promote these activities to the newcomers to get maximum exposure.

if you have any more questions feel free to direct message me @Slimpartywagon and I will gladly help you out however I can, and for what I don’t know, I can find the answers for you.

Greetings all. I have travelled a bit on 2 and 4 wheels and afloat. Still consider myself a Novice at off the beaten track stuff. First big trip was out West in '16 to Montana, Wyoming and Colorado. 5200 mIles and 12 States. The trip was a success but barely scratched my Travel itch. Work got in the way the past 3 years but this June we are West bound again to the GC and Utah. Looking to make use of the info on here from you seasoned Aventurers. Rig specs below, still a work in progress.
2015 Tundra 1794
3/1 lift. Spacers all round. 34" BFG KO2s on stock rims.
APEX offroad Steel rack with Tepui Autana sky with annex.
Decked drawer system with Front runner gas and water can mounts on the deck. Full size spare sits in the bed.

Hi I'm Paul. I'm in SW WA.

My main rig is a very modified 98 Jeep TJ, and a little home-made trailer.

I'm somewhat experienced. Seems like I was doing this before it was called "Overlanding". I'm hoping to do more of it.

Hello all,

New to Overlanding and decided it was time to do so. Located in Highland, Michigan and just got into a 2019 Toyota 4runner TRD off road. Need to take it slow on the mods untill I lean more and decide what will be needed.

Welcome from Oregon

Good afternoon. My name is Trey and I am new to overlanding. We currently live in the Tampa area. I am prepping for a trip with my father to the White Rim Trail. It is a bucket list trip for him. My wife and kids are excited about the trip. I currently own a 97 FZJ 80 we are restoring and a 2015 Tundra Crewmax we are building.
