Hello. I'm Steve, and I've recently moved to the Prescott, AZ area, and I look forward to doing some adventuring. A few weeks ago I bought a 2000 Mercedes-Benz ML430. My wife says it looks like a mini-van, so I'll be fixing that soon. Years ago, I had an XJ that I had fun building and exploring the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, but it's been a while.

Hey everyone! I guess I'm the new guy.
My name is Zac. I'm originally from the central coast of CA (Nipomo to be exact) but moved to Walla Walla, WA about 4 years ago and purchased a house up here.
I grew up camping and wheeling with my dad and his '69 Bronco, so I'm no stranger to the outdoors/wheeling.
I've had many 4wd rigs, but currently I have a 2000 WJ. It's currently on a 4" lift and 35's.
I'm glad to be here and to learn!

Hi Everyone! Long history of camping with Scouts as a kid and adult. I have a stock 2018 4Runner and very little off-road experience. I’m hoping to get advice from those who know and start replacing parts in the near future.....

I’m from Ohio, my rig Sleipnir is a 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK 2 door. I have ridden Ophir Pass and the Table Mesa Trail most recently but planning to run plenty more very soon. I would love to meet up with other members and explore, my son would also love to join us, he’s only 2 but already obsessed.

Hi, I’m Caleb, new to overlanding but not new to the outdoors.
Location: Denver NC (not near as exciting as CO)
Rig: 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road, 2 inch lift
Experience: I’ve been hitting the trails every other weekend since November 2020. My RRT is a game changer.

Hi everyone!
This is Kevin, my 2014 Subaru Forester 2.5L. He's basically stock except for the Falken Wildpeak A/T tires.
I live in the Bay Area, and I am a complete novice to overlanding. I did some driving around on unpaved roads in Capital Reef, some BLM stuff in the snow, and the Bonneville Salt Flats; but I am looking for somewhat more challenging overlanding with camping.

Hello Overland Bound Community!

Let me start by saying how thrilled I am to be part of this group! I grew-up camping as a kid. And I guess I’d say my first “overland trip” was with my grandfather when I was younger. He took a kid from OK to the mountains of CO, to Yellowstone National Park (WY), and into the Badlands (SD). Over the past few years, my family and I have been exploring other parts of the county (TX, OK, MO, AR, NM, CO) on solo adventures, but it is nice to become part of a community now.

Base Camp: Fort Worth, TX
Rig: 2020 Subaru Outback Onyx XT
Set-up: New Project with Big Plans
Off-Road: Some experience but always learning
Welcome from NE Oklahoma

Hello all! My name is Sutton and I just picked up a pretty kitted out rig as building wasn't really an option as I am a bit of a nomad with the WFH craze given the past year (will eventually be in NYC area). Novice Overlander but always had a car obsession while loving the outdoors, so why not combine them! Meet Rosie the Raptor!
