Glad to see you have finally had some good luck it really an awesome build, We really miss our WJ wish we did not sell it, but too many vehicles and something had to go lol.

Ryan, nice looking van build! The WABDR overall is not difficult and mostly forest service roads. There are however a few areas that may cause some issues with tall vehicles and 2 wheel drive. I would recommend going to ridebdr.com if you have not already, you can download a gpx file for...

Hi Joe, Welcome to Overland Bound from Washington State, Gathering basics and getting out and exploring is the best way to get the addiction started!

We try to run the northern sections as late into the year as we can. in mid October I would guess we have been about 50/50 from year to year that you will be able to make it all the way a given section. Typically hunters are up travelling the FS roads during that time so they tend to stay...

Hello and welcome to Overland Bound from across the pond. Actually I was born not far from Cornwall in Poole, many many years ago..lol Enjoy your build project:)

Most important factor with roof racks is attempting to determine what the actual load rating of the particular rack is. There are three main things needed to determine, Static Load Rating: How much weight will the rack support when parked, i.e. camped and you and all your gear is up there...

There is always the Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route, Starts at Hood River and winds down to SE Oregon. The section around Hood has some good scenery and plenty of camping options. The entire route in GPX with waypoints can be downloaded from the Ride BDR Website. Then you can just...

Grub, its so nice to have you back online! :)
