Hello everyone. I just started getting into the overland side of things. Been following Overland Bound for awhile. I have three boys that love going with me. I have a 2015 JKU that i have started outfitting and I just started on a trailer build. Looking forward to learning and sharing my experiences.
What a great forum ! And thx for informative videos on YouTube.
We are a family of four who travels with our awd eurovan camper all over europe. Next longer trip is to Marokko in february/march.
On my solo return I do Les Comes 4x4 Festival 2017 for the second year running. Such a great event.
(In a couple of weeks I leave snow and ice. Destination is Irun/Spain and endpoint is Santiago de Compostella. 800 km on my two feet. That is also overlanding in every respect. Route along the coast and lot's of different terrain. I call myself Plutselig Pilegrim and my avatar is insignia of our own camino, Saint Olav's Way.)

Great looking Jeep! Love the 2 door! Where are you out west now?
Hello. I'm happy to be part of the group. I've been watching here for awhile waiting to join until I actually had a vehicle. After months of searching for a Land Cruiser that was in good shape and wouldn't break the budget I finally found one sort of, it's a Lexus LX470. It's a little fancy for me but it'll get the job done.
Location - SF Bay Area (East Bay)
Rig - 2006 Lexus, LX 470 - stock
Overland Experience - zilch...unless you count watching Michael's video and reading this forum.
I'm so happy this community is here. Earlier this year, I saw a video on YouTube about a Sportsmobile trip on the Mojave Road and heard the term "overlanding". I googled it and found some of Michael's videos and it's been an obsession ever since. I was intimated at first, as I'm the farthest thing from a mechanic, but the desire to get out there away from civilization and the existence of a community like made it seem possible. So a big "thank you" is in order for what you've all created. I will pay it forward.
I'm excited to get started on building out the rig for overlanding and camping with the family. Here's a pic of the yet to be named rig (I can't keep calling it "the Lexus")
Thanks again.

Jeremy,
You're off to a great start! Good looking rig, and from what I hear, the LX470 is a great platform. A lot of people out there that can help and are very willing to answer questions. It's a great community, glad to have you part of it!

Hi there!
I'm Joachim, but please call me Joey.
I'm from Norway and I'm a 33 year old car enthusiast who loves watching overlanding videos on youtube and dreams of going on such trips by myself some day.
1) I don't actually have a rig yet (all I have is a lowered convertible)
2) Location: Norway.
3) Rig: A lowered french convertible for now. (1998, Peugeot, 306, 1.6)
4) Overlanding Experience Background: No overlanding experience yet. (that might change in a few years though.)

Welcome Jay!!!Hello Overlanders! My name is Jay from Los Angeles, California! Brand new to the world of overlanding and off-roading for that matter.
Grew up in Kenya with my family in the safari business so I was often in the wild enjoying nature and wildlife. Now, living in this city I crave the outdoors, but don't have a group of like minded individuals to share the experience with. Then I found OverlandBound on Instagram and my eyes lit up!
Rig: 2008 VW Touareg. Not much on it besides all terrain tires, spacers and a roof basket (which I occasionally take off).
If anyone is in or around the LA area, I would love to go for some easy/moderate day trail drives on the weekends!
Thanks all - looking forward to the many adventures to follow!

Hi everyone,
My name is Josh and I live in Victoria Australia I wouldn't call myself experienced so I'm probably closer to a novice.
My rig is a 2003 Land Cruiser 100 series sahara V8 petrol (gas) sadly the turbo diesels cost a fortune.

Been reading on the forum a while and watching the youtube channel so I figured I might as well join.
My vehicle is a 1958 jeep willys fc-170. It is a build in progress but the plan is a Maggiolina RTT on the back with pull out drawers mounted beneath the tent for storage.
It is far from original/ stock. (hydraulic dump bed, 1 ton axles, sbc V8 and double transfer cases will do that)
