Glad to have joined, been looking in from the outside for a long time now. Would love to know if there are any other odd balls like me out there using their Honda Pilot to explore the backroads and wooded areas of this great country.

Welcome to the OB community Nick.Have lived all over the world in the last 12 years, but as of a year ago moved home to Long Island, NY
2017 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk
Grew up driving my old trucks all over exploring, over the last few years have done more traditional travelling, but have been a huge fan of overland travel. Now I'm at a point where I can focus on traveling and exploring how I want to.

Welcome to the OB community Jonathan.Hello Everyone I'm Jonny

Why Overlanding?: I have always loved exploring and i have wanted to build something so I can explore the less taken path. I bought my 4Runner 10 months ago and she has come a long way from her stock and poorly maintained state. we both still have tons of room for improvement. View attachment 143006

Welcome to the OB community Cory. Glad you finally came in from the outside. I may be an odd ball but I've never owned a Honda Pilot, sorry. I lived in the Grand Rapids nearly 20 years but finally got smart and left in 2003 for Oregon. It looks like I will be back in the area in May, Holland specifically where i have a daughter and her family. If I get there maybe we could get together for coffee or something. I know there are other OB members in that area so possibly a Meet and Greet Rally Point could be put together and we would be able to meet others in that area.Glad to have joined, been looking in from the outside for a long time now.

Just signed up on here today. I’ve only been on one trip to northeast Iowa. Mostly just dirt roads around Maquoketa and the Mounds. Oh! From Des Moines tooHey all. My name is Jason Copeland. Been wheeling for quite awhile now. Discovered overlanding a few years ago and was happy to find a style that fit what I like to do best. I live in central Iowa but I’ve been exploring around the Mark Twain forests in MO and other parts of the Ozarks for the past couple years now. I drive a 2013 JK that’s also my daily driver so i don’t get too crazy with it. Looking forward to connecting with other overlanders around where I like to explore.View attachment 140846View attachment 140853

G'day to you Gary. Welcome to the OB community. Good looking set up.G'day from Australia,
Even though the supermarkets are all out of toilet paper, the fires have stopped and there has been some good rain . Life is good here in Australia - just waiting for Coronavirus to hit. Time to go bush!
I drive a 2011 FJ Cruiser and more recently have been towing an off road trailer. I've been writing/photographing/videoing for some of the major off road/overlanding magazines for the last 9 years. (www.garytischer.com)Travelled to many overlanding locations across the country. I should be at Overland West in a couple of months so hope to meet some of you there.

Welcome to Overland Bound!Hello everyone,
I have a Nissan Titan 4x4 that I have set-up as sort of a "boondocker" style overland rig. I don't have any glamour shots of old girl (on this PC), but she has:
BFG KO2's
4x4 with Eaton HLSD rear diff
Bilstein 5100's
Leer 100XQ cap with Thule tracks and cargo basket
Lot's of dents and "pinstriping" from good times off-road
Lot's of LED off-road lighting of course
My motivation mainly stems from the last few years "car camping" has become very difficult in WA State, and for my family, we can just go further out than most will to find a better camping site/experience. Although my wife is very positive about outdoors life, our son is "meh" about it, so until he goes off to college I will be doing all of the overlanding by myself.
So far we have off-roaded in Moab, Northern AZ and other parts of Utah.
But, we don't know our way around WA State very well. I've gone off-roading a handful of times in the Cascades with my Jeep-owning friends, but all of those areas have since become un-passable over the years (for example, Sunset Copper Mine near Index, WA)
I hope to learn more about WA State on here, and hope to do both the WABDR and AZBDR. Looking forward to learning!

Welcome to Overland Bound!Hello fellow adventurers, overlanders, off-roaders a little introduction is in order. I am Jorge, born and mostly raised in PR. 30+ years of military service and 15 with the federal gov. I moved about a year and a half ago from Florida to Arizona because I wanted more outdoor adventures in my life. I don't regret my move at all.
My rig is a 1999 Mitsubishi Montero that I found in FL before moving up to AZ, I had a FJZ80 but the ex kept it, I looked for another one but the budget I had was less of the current going prices.
I always loved camping, hiking and the outdoors. Thankfully i found a very active local group in Tucson that likes to do epic adventures. I found this page via youtube, while doing my research on equipment and stuff. Great channel, plus the Fj rocks. Anyway I'll leave a picture with a brief description of my ride. If anyone is in or aroundvthe Tucson area let me know.

1999 Mitsubishi Montero. 2 inch lift, factory rear and center locker, 17 inch steelies with 33" tires, snorkel, roof rack and raptor lined by myself in the factory color. I do my own wrenching. More mods to come. Trying to learn how to weld so I can fabricate stuff. Not a lot of aftermarket support for these.

Welcome to Overland Bound!Hello everyone
I'm from New England and have almost always had a pickup, big Blazer or even an old Grand Cherokee. Cant say as I've ever been an "Overlander", but I do love my road trips and hiking and truck-camping. Been on mostly camp and logging roads, and mainly east of the Mississippi. So I know I havent experienced the best there is out there.
Later this year I'm planning a ride out to Montana - Gallatin, the Tetons and Yellowstone area - so I am slowly taking my 2014 Sierra beyond stock condition. I've got a bed cap. Eventually a mild lift and some bigger tires more aggressive than the highway tires currently on it...a rack or basket on top with some lighting...
Probably wont be as tricked out as some I've already seen in this forum, but that's what I'm here for, to see what fits for me and get some advice. Maybe at some point down the road I'll be able to give back some advice, who knows.
