Hey all,

This is a drawing! By popular demand, we are creating metal rockers that will fit seamlessly on the bottom of your Overland Bound Emblem. We are about to do a test production run of the first rocker, which will be specifically designed for First Responders.

We would like to produce the first one for an existing Overland Bound Member.

If you are a first Responder, Police, Fire, Medical, please respond to this thread and we will produce the first rocker for a lucky winner.

Rockers will be available in a few categories including first responders, military, olb benefactor, member, etc, and will have a unique icon for each. Members will then be able to put a custom phrase, laser etched on the rocker. It can be unit, name, or other designation. We will add more, and we are still thinking of new rocker categories. Now I know what you are thinking, "Jeep! Toyota! Land Rover!", but we cannot use those logos due to copyright issues, unfortunately.

I'd also love to hear your thoughts!

Very cool idea and great show of support for first responders, military, and other civil servants. Love the podcasts BTW, highly recommend them - funny to see all the similarities in the challenges we all run into in our adventures.

That's pretty neat! Not active but have 7yrs in fire service, currently doing safety for a construction company. I'm more of a fan of the Maltese Cross than flames though, just my .02¢.

As a former Marine and current Deputy Sheriff, I like the concept. I don't think my name would be ideal though, since I'm a current LEO. Maybe a seven point star for the icon and Deputy for the title. Hate to say it, but cops aren't popular in CA these days, so I don't need my rig keyed or worse.

Agreed, which is why I have the same reservations about LEO indicia on my rig as well. Got a big red truck, so maybe people will think I’m a firefighter, people love firefighters.

Right? Everybody loves Fire. Be safe brother, these are difficult times.

What about a generic public safety rocker

I am game for former military with branch logo and years of service on the banner. Very cool idea especially if you offer it beyond just active first responders.
