welcome

i everyone. I'm also new to the site and looking forward to reading and learning. I retired from the US Forest Service in 2016 and have decided to buy and build and overland rig. I'm looking at building a Lexus GX460 (2010-2013) or a newer Tacoma. I've been without an offload ride for 4 years and I miss the outdoors.

Hello TR, welcome to Overland Bound, either choice of rides will work very well, glad you are here.

 

[freak4life]

New to Overland Bound. My boys and I enjoy the outdoors: hiking, fishing, camping, 4 wheeling. Getting older and my knees aren't what they used to be (is anything?), so I'll be using my 2017 Grand Cherokee Trailhawk more and my hiking boots less. Looking forward to learning from the community and sharing good times.

Hello Jason, welcome to Overland Bound.

 

[Browniac]

New Members,

Welcome to the Overland Bound community! Please take a few moments to introduce yourself so we can get to know you!

A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)

We're glad you've found us and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!

In addition to getting to know you, here are the guideline sent to all Moderators of the forums. It's a natural reflection of our community, and what Overland Bound is all about:

From @administrator

• Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else.
• We will not further define "overlanding".
• "Capable" depends on the requirements of the trip, and we take that very seriously.
• You are an Overlander: Overlanding is for everyone who has exploration and adventure in their heart, or, who need to be reinvigorated by connecting with nature. Nature is unforgiving. You must rise to a certain level of personal awareness to survive. Sound right? Overlanding is for you.
• Encourage uncomplicated ventures into the great outdoors. Don't over pack.
• Be prepared, and understand basic requirements. Question folks, to be sure they are aware of what is required. Don't assume.
• Share without reservation, trip locations, and information.
• It doesn't matter what you drive: The only requirement of an Overlander is that the vehicle serves the job required, safely.
• We do not care about make or model.
• We do not engage in "this is better than that" competitions.
• We DO give advice about how to make your vehicle ready for what you need. Share knowledge.
• Humility.
• We respect, fear, and protect nature.
• "I don't know" is a great answer.
• We don’t brag about exploits.
• We seek answers from the community when we don’t know.
• We engage in the very smallest of interactions.

New here, looking to learn from the vast experience and knowledge of the collective. Thanks in advance for all the help!

Hello everyone! My name is Don and I live in the Houston, Tx area. I bought a 2019 Jeep JLU Sport S back at the end of 2019. I still have it stock but want to start upgrading things so I can get into exploring and camping in the outdoors.

 

[nmproia]

Hello all! Just joined the site after seeing the trip packing video on YouTube.

I'm near Atlanta and have a 2009 Land Cruiser. I posses very little overland experience but have a lot of camping/backpacking experience, although it's been a while. Most of it took place during my boy scout years back in the day.

Lots of plans in store for the truck, but it'll come in little pieces here and there. Hope to see some of you out there in the north Georgia mountains!

Hello
I’m Curt I live on the north shore of Lake Superior. My rig is a 2020 Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. I have very little over landing experience but have been back country camping and Boondocking for years. I love to explore and see what’s around the next corner and over that hill.
