Am I correct in thinking your turn your own wrenches?
Yes, I love working on it. That way I know what's been done to it and how to fix it if it breaks. Replaced the transmission a month ago. Also had to upgrade my locking hubs

Hello Jason , Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. @Ubiety is your closest member representative.

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.

Mike Rose
Northwest Director

We are the Jacksons. Chris and Susanne. We started this off roading thing two years ago due to a good friend of mine insisting I needed adventure as I was recovering from an accident. We took our GMC Sierra 2500 and immediately fell in love with 4 wheeling back roads. Our daughter purchased a 1998 4runner and she loves to wheel. We sold our RV and traded my wife's car in for a 2016 Toyota 4runner built nicely. In fact it was previously owned by an overland bound member. We are excited to continue the adventure of this rig.
