Hey everyone! I’m Finn! I’m a native Southern Californian; currently posted in San Diego. I have a ‘19 Subie Xtrek that’s named Meeko. I’ve been camping since before I could walk, but I’m still a novice at overlanding. At the moment, Meeko is still a “ballin on a budget” rig so improvements have been slow, but I finally threw a lift on him and got some 15s for the ATs I’m gonna grab come Black Friday. Here’s an older picture of him, pre-lift! View attachment 214924
Welcome, Finn! You said posted in SD... military?
Thank you! Oh hahaha no, just my millennial slang

Hi, my name is Joey and I found this because I was checking out my neighbors overland build of his Subaru Outback.
I’m in Studio City, Ca. I have a 2011 Porsche Cayenne S I have been running trails for years in Angeles Forest and the Mojave desert. Mostly in old 1st gen Durangos. I’m looking forward to building out my Cayenne and hitting the trails
Welcome!
Latest trip for our Cayenne was two weeks in Moab. Have been off-roading our 958 since 2012 from the frozen Arctic Ocean at Tuktoyaktuk to the hot Chihuahuan desert. If you are a PCA member they did an 11 page article in Pano on ours in 2016. Link is to our build and some of what we do:

Hello all,

New to the forum but would love to share my build with you all. So I currently drive a 2019 Toyota Tacoma Sport, it has a three-inch lift and sitting on 33s. I am new to Overlanding but have embraced it head-on, I have been traveling the southwest and camping in my newly built sleeping platform. I have explored Utah, New Mexico, California, and Arizona and I am hoping to add to the list.

Thank you and glad to be part of the community

Hello all. New to the site, I first learned about OB at my first Overland Expo West. Now running a G63 AMG and was able to enjoy its first outing at the Bar 10 Ranch with E 3 Overland folks and TrailRecon. I have added a Front Runner Rack and looking to find new wheels and tires. I am a complete novice and hope to continue to get more experience soon.
Cheers. G63 AMG.jpg

Hello , Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. If you have any questions, feel free to DM me. There isn’t a Director for Canada at the moment, so @Kent R and myself are taking that responsibility.

To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).

Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.

Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.

Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.

Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.

Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.

Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.

Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.

Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.
