Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Hi Long time car camper, overlander, etc. from stock vehicles to more built vehicles I think it's about getting and seeing , doing, and providing the experiences you can and want to have solo, with friends, or family.
We're a family of six in Boulder, CO and I am an assistant coach on my two high schooler's mountain bike team. We have dispersed camped for all of their races for the last three years plus many other similar trips throughout the years.We have built our family Suburban (Yukon XL) to be more capable for forest roads, and generally equipped it to be more trip/ camping specific, and probably a few not strictly necessary things.

Our current rig:
2007 Yukon XL Denali dubbed "Mucho"
  • 6.2L mostly stock
  • 6L80 (six speed) new last year
  • G80 14 bolt rear w/ 3.42 gears (stock)
  • Icon 2.5 Coilovers set at 2.5" lift
  • Cognito upper control arms
  • Dobinson 2" lift rear springs
  • Baseline Overland Roof Rack
  • Modified Chassis Unlimited winch bumper
  • Warn 12K winch w/ Factor 55 flat link
  • redarc tow pro trailer break controller.
  • 33" AT tires (Goodyear Ultraterrain)
  • Optima Yellow Top Battery
  • Offroad lights and controller

Thank you! This is a great community. When I first got interested in over-landing I didn’t know where to start. I have the truck now and here I know I will find the knowledge and brethren needed. This is a good day

New overlander here in N. GA. My wife and I are in our mid-50's and kids are out of the house. We have a 2020 Wrangler JLU and 2021 Gladiator Mojave. Mojave will be our primary overlanding vehicle. Can't wait to get out and start experiencing more of what our great country has to offer. Until retirement it may only be 2-3 weeks a year but we're going to try and make the best of that time!

Hi Gordon,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

That is a nice NEW DEFENDER. If you like, please tell more about it, what engine does it has, how you upgraded it and so on. Would be interesting. Thank you.

Greetings from Europe
