[Kent R]

Hello, I am from San Antonio Texas, I am a novice in overlanding However I have been an over the road truck driver for 25 years and I have pulled many of RVs including my last one which was a 40 footer bumper pull. Over the years I have owned a few four-wheel-drive trucks and have recently purchased a 2017 F2 50 four-wheel-drive and had four wheel parts wholesalers here locally do a 6 inch Procomp lift with 37 inch neato tires, fab fours bumpers front and rear, with a Smitty built winch. After talking to some guys there at four wheel part wholesalers they turned me onto Overlanding and it sounds like what I’ve always dreamed of doing! I look forward to meeting some of the people here in San Antonio and around Texas. To explain my user name it is based off of my 2014 Ford Taurus sho, hence the no faux SHO. Lol.

Hello everyone. Greetings from the Oklahoma Panhandle here in the US.
I’m totally new to overlanding and have been reading as much as I can about it. I stumbled onto Overland Bound while searching for Podcasts about it. After listening to the last 5 or 6 of them, I decided to sign up and become a member. What a great resource! I look forward to meeting and talking to you all both here in the forums and hopefully some of you in person. I have a ‘19 Jeep Rubicon and have just scratched the surface in outfitting it.
Thank you and I wish you all the best.
Rick

Hey Overland Bound!

Picture incoming, when I get my rig all figured out! (That's half of why I'm here!)

Area:
Portland, Oregon — Rain, desert, sand, mountains, mud. It's all here!

Rig:
2015 Toyota 4Runner Limited (with 3rd row!) — Daystar leveling kit and some larger tires.

Experience:
Novice overlander still. I've run some decent trails in the area with my old Jeep Wrangler, but my wife and I sold the 2 Door Jeep for the 4Runner so we can go on longer adventures and be a bit more comfortable with a dog in the back.

[HappyOurOverlanding]

Hello
Im killthebunnys (an old Monty python refrence and name that just stuck) from Las Vegas, NV.
I drive a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon.
My experience ranges, I’ve been off-roading all my life but mainly amateur stuff putzing around the desert. I have camped a lot in my youth. I would say that I’m slightly above a novice, that I have the realization that I have a lot to learn. I look forward to participating in this community.

Welcome to the wonderful world of OB. Lot's of great folk with whom you can connect and get out and explore. If you have any questions, please reach out as @Kent R mentioned.

Hey everyone, my name is Nick Mango and I live in the Catskills (Upstate NY). I'm a fly fishing, and upland bird hunting guide. My current vehicle is a 2018 Silverado 5.3, because I need to be able to tow. Before the Silverado I had a 4Runner, and a Rubicon. If I didn't need to tow, I'd probably go back to a JKU Rubicon.

[TacoDustin96]

Hello everyone, my name is Dustin.

I Recently picked up a 2019 Tacoma, I am new to the overland community, not so new to off-roading or camping. I picked up a free spirit recreation RTT, and look forward to exploring, off-roading, fishing, and meeting other members in this community.

PS: Im a photographer on the side, if you'd like shots of your rigs reach out Id love to join on a nice weekend getaway.

Vehicle: 2019 Toyota Tacoma (TRD Offroad Package) 6ft bed
The truck is stock currently, however I plan to make some upgrades in the coming months and I'm not afraid of getting her dirty.

I have lots of camping gear anywhere from; glamping or roughing it. I look forward to seeing you guys on the trail.

Location: San Francisco Bay Area and frequently in Reno NV area to visit family

(I spend most of my time exploring the sierras or high deserts of CA and NV)

[Magic Mike]

Hey guys! We're not new-new here, but I suppose it would be good to formally introduce ourselves!

1. We're located here in the Bay Area, CA. Wagan Tech is headquartered in Hayward, CA since 1983.
2. We're building out a 1999 Lexus LX470 (Land Cruiser 100 series). Stay tuned for the full build.
3. Our families love the outdoors and camping, so overlanding was a natural extension for us. Our first official OB Rally was Shaver Lake. Looking forward to many other adventures with the community! Thanks for your support!

Feel free to ask if you have any questions about us or our products!

Here's our Top9 from 2019 on my personal @AlexAtWagan IG account. Be sure to follow @WaganTech!
