HI ALL!
LOCATION: Westerville Ohio
RIG: 2020 tundra
-eibach pro kit
-spydertraxx 1.25" spacers
-33" toyo open country
caliraised ditch and hidden bumper LED's
kbvoodoo low profile rack w/ smittybilt tent
EXPERIENCE: I've owned 4 jeep Cherokees, a 3rd gen 4runner, and currently a 99' tj locked front and rear with a few other trucks in between.

hopefully will be making a trip out west this winter as I am off for the next 2-3 months (self employed landscaper who doesn't do snow removal)
not much here in Ohio other than some unmaintained roads in Vinton county, we enjoy badlands Indiana, Windrock Tennessee (along with Norris lake), rush off-road, and silver lake sand dunes.

Hello! Past-time lurker, new member. I gave myself the present of a membership and investment level today. I'm excited to have found this group! I'm from Cincinnati Ohio. My rig, and favorite traveling partner, is Luci - 2018 JLU in the most gorgeous Punk'n orange. Hey, she stands out and won't get shot by hunters Looking forward to lots of adventures in Luci with my husband, daughter and our pup.

Hello everyone! I’m based in Chandler AZ. I drive a 5th gen 4Runner, with an icon suspension, Demello hybrid sliders, a Prinsu roof rack, Westscott Designs ladder, and K02s in 285.

next step will be fog lights, then ditch lights. Also building a chuck box.

I’ll post pictures of my rig when I get back home.


Dorobuta roughly translates as Mud pig from Japanese. (Get stuck in the mud with a group…)

ITM, Robert here from central Kansas.
I am working on a 1975 Dodge Ramcharger SE to be our overlanding rig.
My experience is lots of vehicle based camping, etc. in my youth, but mostly camper based exploration of regional lakes and wildlife areas in recent years.
Hello Robert, welcome to Overland Bound! Can't wait to see pics of the Ramcharger!

Hello everyone. My Name is Ryon. I am retiring from the military in January 2022 and moving back home to Oregon. I just got a new (to me) 2013 Lexus GX 460, and I'm looking forward to getting her off road and doing some camping. If you have any recommendations for the Central Oregon area, I'm all ears.

My name is Paul. I just got a 1999 Land Cruiser that I am building out. It has had the same owner for the last 20 years and now has 244k miles on it. So far I have just done some baseline maintenance. I have sliders and a lift on order. I also have a truck/travel trailer that I like to boondock in. I look forward to meeting some fellow members in the Bay Area/Sacramento Valley, and beyond!
