Hey Everyone,

Newbiee to the Overlanding community.

I'm Marcus, Irish, living in the US for 7 years now. I currently own a 2016 Ford F150 Crew Cab FX4 (5.5') and the only modification I've made is add a Decked drawer system to the bed for camping equipment. I've also ordered a Leitner Forged rack for the bed which is on it's way.

I live in Berkeley California, have two young kids and would love to go on a basic ride to figure this stuff out.

My other passion is Adventure Motorcycle riding, but I have a weaker back these days, so riding around in the truck might be better.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

:)

The 4xe tows the Expedition sweet. In hybrid mode, the 4xe generates 375 HP. There is always battery in reserve for added power. I've yet to take the rig off-road, but don't expect that I will have any power problems.

Hi guys and gals of the Overland Bound universe!

So we are Tuk South, a group of 4 lads bringing three wheeler tuk tuks to the overland world. We are currently trying to wrestle our three wheeled friends from Kenya to Cape Town in South Africa. I cant wait to introduce ourselves

_DSC9116 (1).JPGTuk Kitchen.jpgIMG_5728.JPG
2) So we are Africa based at the moment. Kenya is home but we are half way through our journey to the southern tip of the continent, so i guess Malawi works
3) Rig - Lets bring out the big guns for this one - Piaggio Ape auto DX and Piaggio Ape Extra DX - 8.5hp of pure diesel power
4) Overlanding experience is pretty good, but nothing really prepares you for offroading in a tuk tuk

Hello,

New member here to a degree I didn't introduce myself and have been lurking in the forum a bit.

I am located in KC, Kansas and enjoy getting out anywhere I can to explore. Unfortunately it is quite a long drive to get to public lands from where I live, but it's great adventure regardless.
