Hey guys, Mike here, from Long Island, New York. I look forward to getting out and planning some overland trips with my new Gladiator Launch Edition. Have already started building it up and will continue to do so until I’m completely broke haha. I have a pretty deep back ground with jeeps and off-roading. Have built probably 7-8 rigs at this point, I also have a 2005 wrangler rubicon unlimited(LJ). That vehicle will be going back under the knife to become a full time rock crawler/trailer queen since the gladiator showed up.

Am currently planning to run a bit of the Trans New Jersey Trail this upcoming weekend with a buddy, in the gladiator and his JL, if any one will be out there let us know, would love to link up with some other members.

Glad to be here, Mike D,

Hi all,
I just stumbled onto overland bound. I live in southern Maryland(new to the area). My Rig is a 2015 Unlimited Jeep Wrangler JK. I am looking forward to exploring the Northeast. Still learning wrt to off-road skills and overloading.

Cheers!

Hey guys, my name is Tyler Nunn (30), live in Albuquerque, NM. My Rig is a 2016 Ram 1500 with minimal modifications so far. I have a camper shield with self built lockable drawers in the bed of the truck and running on BF Goodyear 275/65 All Terrain tires. First, upgrade I’m looking to do will be replacing running boards with rock-sliders. I look forward to meeting those in the community and hopefully hit the trails with some people.

newbie here, bought a 96 land rover discovery 1 with a 5spd and 210k miles on it over the summer. After some basic maintenance and building a wooden platform in the back for storage and sleeping I've been absolutely loving it. Pic below was taken during a camping trip on ocracoke island NC in September.

Hi, I'm Nathan!

I'm in the south MS area (which is unfortunately very far from most overlanders ).
I have family strung from Bay St. Louis to Pass Christian to Biloxi to Ocean Springs, I don't get down there as much as I should.

Welcome from the Mountains in Western North Carolina.

I'm John.
Next year I'm selling everything I own and taking off to see the country.

I am an old camper and backpacker, but living in a truck will be new for me.

I have a 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie. I am undecided on whether to get a cap, or rack and roof top tent.

Hoping to learn a lot before it's time to go.

Hello.. I hail from Louisville KY, driving a 2020 Ford Ranger STX FX4 stock. I am a novice and really just enjoy being in nature and seeing what the truck can do.

Welcome to Overland Bound Josh.
Good luck with the Bronco, that's going to be an exciting platform for overlanding.

Hey there! I just joined because I bought a '99 e250 that has been outfitted as a camper. I'm slowly building a lift and adding some more appropriate gear to it, and hope it will take me on many adventures!

Hey Everyone!

My name is Mike, and my wife (Dani) & I recently upgraded our old rig (2014 GMC Sierra 1500 with a canopy camper set up) to a 2020 AEV Prospector with a Scout Olympic camper! We are based in Denver, CO area but are planning on traveling around the US as much as possible over the next 6-9 months while our jobs are allowing us to 'work from home'. Our long term goal is to do the Pan American sometime in either 2022 or 2023, so feel free to reach out if you have any tips or tricks for that journey!

Attached are a couple pictures of our new rig, though you can see more on our Instagram (TheMortells). We also have pictures of our old rig on there as well.

I have been overlanding since I bought the GMC back in 2014, but also grew up in a family that traveled/camped a lot so I am fairly experienced though there is still plenty that I need to learn! Some items on my 'To Learn' list before our Pan American trip are wilderness first aid, more advanced recovery methods, and basic Spanish!

I am looking forward to getting involved on this forum so please don't hesitate to reach out :)

Mike

Hello everyone. I am so happy to be on this forum. Newbie here with my 1998 4runner, located in Oakland - have had it for about 4 months now, unmodified. I love it. Been scouring all kinds of online resources as I learn more about overlanding.
I will be making modifications slowly, as I figure out what I am interested in doing long term. Camping is a given, as well as fly fishing. Wanting to explore and venture out into the wild. Can't wait to learn more and open to any and all suggestions. Cheers!IMG_4320.jpg
