Hello Everyone. I'm Mike and I just stumbled into overlanding about a year ago when Covid hit. It started as entertainment, checking out YouTube videos, and the idea of overlanding sounded interesting the more I learned about it. I'm not sure my wife agrees, but time will tell.

Rig: 2016 Jeep Wrangler JKU (pretty much stock)

Hello! My name is William and this is my wife Aleeah. Ive always had mustangs as that is my passion but this past week I traded it in on a 18 Colorado crew cab 4x4 and it is still bone stock. I’m pretty novice at overlanding. The most off-roading thing I’ve done is driving my sxs (side by side) in the mud parks here in nc. But I’ve always watched videos of overlanding and always wanted to do it! We are out here in south eastern North Carolina near Wilmington! And I’m looking for things I should do to my truck.

Hi all, Rob from Vancouver WA, just a bit north of Portland, OR. I have an 06 Forester, mild lift and decent tires.
Only one real overland trip (central Oregon, back in 2018, following a tricked out 4Runner lol), but looking to do more.
I love just getting out and exploring the back roads of South Washington, mostly the Gifford Pinchot national forest area.
The Subaru has been surprisingly good so far. The only time I've gotten stuck was in 14+ inches of snow.
My normal adventure buddy is moving to Texas, so I am looking to meet new people to adventure with.

Welcome to Overland Bound Rob
Your Regional Director is @M Rose for additional help or information. And I see he has already made contact with you, Mike is a great resource.

My name is Clark... I live in Santa Cruz, CA. I've been overlanding for over 40 years... well we called it 4 wheeling then. Started with a '69 Landcruiser... slept under the stars and under the 'cruiser when it rained... yes, you heard that correctly... that was actually our planned place to sleep. Then went to a '75 Landrcruiser with a Chevy 350... until the higher RPMs spun some of the bearings in the stock 4 speed transmission, fixed it myself then sold it. Then to a 72 Chevy Blazer. At least I could sleep inside then... Now...

Now I have a 2002 Toyota Tundra Limited TRD with a custom All-Terrain camper... the first one they sold. I have it modified for me and I'll never sell it. It'll go most anywhere I ask.

I generally take my time at camping...traveling...and generally enjoying myself... retired Parks Administrator and business owner... currently spend time in my shop, in the yard and learning archery.

I'll try to attach a pic of the camper...View attachment 192941

Hello Giovanni, welcome to the community.

 

[freak4life]

Wow! Great set up guys. I’m new to the scene. My name is Jesse from Houston tx. I have a 02 Toyota 4Runner 2wd that fell into my lap about 2 months ago.
Currently I flushed coolant, oil change, added some steering fluid and renewed the tags. Lol.
The real additions are.
New tires. ( kumho A/T tires )
Painted the oem wheels ( plasti dipped )
Yup that’s it.

Next week
Running board delete
Roof rack
New suspension
Bed liner the whole rig
Diy water containment with spigot
I think that’s it for one week.

And hopefully by May I can take a small trip somewhere close to home with my son and make some memories.
Here are some pictures of the rig. Will take new pics once she’s bed lined and racked up.

Hello Jesus, welcome to the community.
