Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Hi everyone.
I've been a 2-wheel overlander for the past few years and recently purchased 'the one that got away' from my youth - a '99 Jeep Cherokee - and have been futzing with it for a few months to make it more or less road worthy.
I already have the basics for short-term camping, and I don't have any grand plans for kitting it out but I know I need a rear tire carrier to free up space in the cargo area and possibly a roof rack and awning.

It may not be my forever-vehicle as the new Bronco's are calling me but it's what I got to work with at this time.

I'm based in Northern VA with easy access to W-SW VA, W.VA., and PA.
I'm hoping this group will provide some camaraderie and a good community to get out and enjoy this great country of ours.

- Dave

Hi Alex,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

Please take a look at the Rally Points (RPS) for planned events in Europe and meetups with OB members and join if you like. Within the RPS you can filter by region. Czech Republic belongs to OB EU Eastern Europe Region. There are some events planned in future and more to come. We also do a virtual campfire every 14 days which will start again by end of the summer/ autumn when people are back from their trips. There is also a subforum for Europe here.

At the beginning of October, several OB members will meet at the small OTTO Overlanding and Offroad Expo in Thuringia (i.e. eastern region of Germany). That's not that far away from you. Have a look here and join us if you want.


If you have any further questions I am happy to help. Just shoot me a message.

Greetings,
Bjoern
