Welcome to OB! My wife drives an LX470 and we have found it to be comfy, reliable and off-road worthy, but she won’t let me off-road it. Hahaha. Unfortunately hers is IFS but that is great for a grocery getter ;) I used to have a 2001 Tundra and loved it dearly until the daughter killed it :(

Nice, I like the GX470, the 120 platform is excellent. I have a 2wd Sequoia, I did consider a 4x4 it due to the room, but may want something more refined.

Hi every one. Names Matt and I am a new guy here from Tacoma Washington.
I picked up a 2020 Jeep Gladiator and am planning on building it to travel the Pacific Northwest and see its true beauty. Then venture to the rest on the US.

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.

Hi from Los Angeles. I'm driving a 2020 F-250, Crew cab, 4X4, 6.7L V8 diesel, 10 spd automatic.

Overlanding Experience Background: Zip, Zero, Nada.

This is my second 4WD vehicle. The first, a Nissan P/U was stolen before I could get it off road, and I went another way with the insurance payoff. Just bought this F-250 and thought I'd try to get into it again.

Hello, My name is Alex! This is my 84 Yota Pickup. Its build primarily for trail and rock crawling. I have over 10 years of off roading, mostly Southern California area. Have done some overlanding over the San Bernardino Mountains, and Death Valley. Currently doing my homework for a long distance overlanding rig. Some choices, GX470(4gen 4Runner V8), LX470( 100 series Landcruiser), or 2nd gen Tundra. Look forward on getting some ideas from the forum..

Howdy! In Savannah GA and making plans for a digital nomad life sometime in the next 6-18 months. My hubby is the one with all the gear knowledge. Excited to join and learn more about how other nomads do their work domestically!

Hello everyone,
My name is Lyn and I am located in St. Louis, MO.
My current rig is a 2019 Ford Ranger Lariat FX4. Prior to this I had a 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ (loved that rig, still miss it!)
Just getting into modern overlanding, but I have been an avid camper forever.

Hoping to learn some skills, figure out how I want to configure my truck, decide on the "to trailer or not to trailer" question (truck is also my DD), and have some fun!

Hi, I’m Matt and I live right outside of Rocky Mountain National Park in the mountains of Colorado. I’ve been wheelin for years but have recently (last couple years) been more interested in overlanding than rock crawling difficult short trails. My Overland rig is a 2018 Ram 2500 Powerwagon, added sliders and diff protection, 37” tires and upgraded the entire suspension and steering recently! Love this truck! I also have a heavily modified Jeep Rubicon but it barely gets used anymore ;)
In 2020 I was lucky enough to do 3 week long solo trips to Utah/Canyonlands. I also did a few trails passing thru Moab, Northern Arizona & the Mojave desert. 2020 was a lot of fun for me an I’ve got bigger plans in 2021 - weeklong Maze district trip in May just got reserved and my wife and I are planning a 3 week long trip in September (thinking Idaho and Montana up into the Canadian Rockies and back if they open the borders).
Look forward to meeting some of you and I’ve already been reading posts about trails I want to do in the future so I figured I better join!! Thanks for having me ;)

Hi Lyn! Welcome from NE Oklahoma!

 

[Levine98]

Hi, figure it is time to do an intro since I've been lurking and posting a bit for a while.

Recently purchased a 2020 4Runner Off Road Premium and have outfitted it with Falken Wildpeaks, Apex Fabworks rock sliders, CBI skid plates and Diode Dynamic LED fogs.
Have been a motorcycle camper, both on- and off-road, most of my adult life. However feeling my past injuries more as I age and decided to focus my time on overlanding (sold the dual sport and adventure bikes--still mulling over selling my street bike).
Planning on doing the TAT in 2021, have been prepping and testing out my gear and rig on regular 3 day overnights in the George Washington and Monongahela National Forests (about 2 hours from my house in Richmond VA).

Yeah, haha, I have been a lurker for quite some time. Thought it was past the time to say hello!

Hi everyone! I just joined and am looking forward to meeting everyone. But I will say I will lurk for a while at first to get the feel of the group. On to the important stuff!

Location: Sterling, CO.
Current Vehicle: 2020 Subaru Forester Sport
Previous Vehicle: 2011 Ford Fiesta.
Overland Experience: Novice
Why Overlanding?: It's about time. Been wanting to get out more and get some adventures in. Oh, forgot to add that I'm also working on getting my HAM license so I'll have that soon as well.

Welcome to the Team from Upstate NY,
Can't wait to see the Rig - Happy New Year

 

[EnchantedGroovester]

Hello from Columbus, Ohio. I have a 2015 Jeep JKU that I picked up used a few years back. Everything was stock originally. I do some wheeling with it via the local club and on friend’s land but haven’t done a lot of overlanding with it yet. Should also point out it’s my daily driver so I don’t get too insane with it. My wife and I love watching overlanding YT shows and that’s what drew us here. Hoping to find some opportunities in the year to come. Oh, and I’m also a drummer, hence the user name.

Welcome to OB John!

 

[Aaronmize90]

Hello! Name is Aaron and I have a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that I have been tinkering with for a few years. Living in central Texas. Have done some camping out of the Jeep but most of my overlanding experience has been living vicariously through folks I follow online, hoping to change that soon.

Glad to be here and looking forward to exploring the site and this community
