Hello all Thanks for the welcome. I am avid offroader for too long to say without giving away age :-) from overseas in Germany to the states where have been stationed. We have 2018 Jeep Rubicon JLU on 37 Cooper STT pro as main offraoding rig but building our new 2019 Ford Ranger supercrew Lariat 4x4 as overlanding rig. We have done some local short trips to camp site to test out and Wife really enjoys. I will post a few pictures of rigs and will answer questions as I did make/modify some things to save cost. We look forward to some good places to relax with nice scenery and I can read a book while wife fishes.

Hello everyone!

My name is Soren and I am located in Provo Utah.
I currently own 2 rigs. A '90 Ford Bronco and just last week purchased a bone stock '10 Toyota 4Runner.
Growing up in Utah I have always been outdoors. As a kid my family always went camping AT LEAST once a month so i'm no stranger to getting dirty and having fun.
My Off-road driving ability is intermediate at best as i have a ton to learn!
I'm happy to be apart of Overland Bound and can't wait to meet some of you!

Also any advice on what I should do to the 4Runner would be greatly appreciated. She's my first Toyota.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of the Overland Bound Community. I am a novice to Overlanding but not to the outdoors. I am excited to begin my new adventures in my 2018 Jeep Wrangler Willys along with my Outbound Extreme trailer. Since purchasing both in the last 6 months my wife and myself have been busy making both ready for our adventures. Overlanding is quite different here in Nebraska, we look forward to reaching out across the country. Thank you!!!Jeep Trailer001.jpg

We are new to the overlanding experience and hope to learn from others. Looking forward to meeting you on the trails.

Hi OB community,

I’m finally signing up for OB - been reading and watching for a long time since getting into the lifestyle.

Have a TJ and a JKU that we use for our adventures. Built them both up from stock to what they are today and enjoyed all the learning along the way. Still much to learn and I know the OB community has more to teach me.

Hope to meet up with folks at some point here in central CA.

Pretty excited to be a part of the Overland Bound community.
My name is Jeff and my wife is Jen. We are from Southeastern Indiana (very near Cincinnati) and are overlanding newbies. I bought a 2019 Colorado Bison a year ago and we took our first overlanding trip 2 weeks ago to the Georgia Traverse. It was spectacular and confirmed that overlanding is for us! Excited to learn more about overlanding and to meet people that share our interests.
Cheers!

Hi everyone, it’s great to be a member of this community!
I’m in Northern Utah and drive a 2010 Jeep JKU on a 3” lift and 35” tires.

I’ve camped all my life, and I have a lot of rock crawling/ off-roading experience (The photo is from the Rubicon Trail). Overlanding seems a natural integration of both and my wife and I are looking forward to doing more and more of it exploring the backcountry.
