Hello Overland Bound folks!


Steve here, new member as of today, and glad to join.
Southern MD area, and still pretty new to the area.
I have a Tacoma sport (some pics included)
No actual overlanding experience, plenty of off road experience but it’s been awhile and looking to get back into it.

Glad to be here and look forward to meeting some local overlanders!

Hello, My name is Jason and I am interested in overlapping as a means to explore new opportunities. Currently, my wife and I have a stock 2016 Subaru Outback that we will use for the short term while we break into this new world. We live in Utah County, Utah, and enjoy everything about the desert so far. Can't wait to get started!

Hey Gene!

Wow stellar rig! I actually just passed through Boulder Creek after going to the coast this past weekend beating the inland heat. Currently there isn’t a regular meet up on your side of the hill but the east bay has one. I am the Bay Area member rep and I can help connect you to meet ups that are happening near you. In Pleasanton CA there is a meet up on the second Sunday’s of the month and it has a great regular turn out and active. The Tri-Valley (Pleasanton) group has number of plans already laid out for June through November. Our next meet up will be June 14th, HOPEFULLY in person! But the Zoom meetings have been good as well.


This is the regular meet up info

Tri-Valley Meet Up
US West - Tri-Valley Monthly Meet Up- Pleasanton CA
Just come! :)View Rally Point Tri-Valley Monthly Meet Up- Pleasanton CA STARTS MONTHLY ON DECEMBER 8TH EVERY SECOND SUNDAY MEET UP 1-3pm We are looking to gather together those living in the East Bay (and greater Bay Area) in downtown Pleasanton CA. Everyone is welcome as we look to gather...

Don't know if this posting will make any sense because I am SO SO SO HAPPY to have finally joined. I have been following the OB Instagram page for quite some time and now regretting not joining sooner as the #'s have sky rocketed since I started following to now. I always felt that if I didn't have the correct vehicle, I shouldn't be part of the club as I don't think a twin turbo charged 08 Mustang would have done well Overlanding :grimacing:. I began my adventure in building an Overland vehicle about 6 months in hope of being able to enjoy the outdoors with my father. My father was in a very bad car accident 3 years ago where he had broken his neck, back, skull, leg, and ankle (among many other injuries) and has not been able to go out since. My father was an avid camper and hiker and he truly misses the outdoors. Since he is no longer mobile and can only travel short distances walking, I thought why not build something that can get my Dad where he wants to go!

1) Will be uploading photos soon !

Welcome! By all means, post up the mods. There are many that may benefit from your ideas and adjustments. It will be nice for your father to get back out there!

Welcome Rich,
I am the Northwest Regional Director for Overland Bound. @Greg Eigsti and @Gabriel Bozeman are your closest Member Representatives.

Due to “Social Distancing” and “Shelter In Place” practices during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have temporarily postponed group meetups, trail rides, and Campouts. Instead the Northwest Member Rep Team has incorporated weekly conference calls each Sunday at 7:30 PM PST (8:30) Mountain Time). A full list with scheduling can be found at Sunday Night Regional Conference Call

Welcome once again
Stay well, stay safe
