alittle bit about myself;

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.

:)
I’ve got same truck and have done quite a bit to mine if you ever have questions. I’m down in Monterey Bay.
Matt

Hi all. jackco48 here. Love the platform and all the YT vids. I don’t have a rig per se. long story on why I moved out of my 4Runner into a 2017 Kia Sorento SX, but I am pulling a Mean Bean, so still hitting the outdoors. My wife and I are too old to wander too far off grid these days, but we’re no slouches either. Great place to learn new things.
Welcome!

Hello from Nash Vegas!

The other day, my Doctor said "You need to get a hobby." I am a semi-retired workaholic who has decided revisit the activities I enjoyed in the past. Fishing, camping and traveling the highways and byways. I feel confident this community can help fulfill my needs.

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

View attachment 224678View attachment 224679View attachment 224680
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
Welcome To Overland Bound
Interesting to say the least.
Our South African Regional Director will be interested in your adventure @Get Out GO
