Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Hello all Tommy here,
New this but cant wait to get my feet wet. My rig which will be my daily driver is a 2020 Subaru Ascent. Not looking to bury it but looking to go down the paths of the less traveled. Any ideas on upgrades and places to start would be most appreciated. Thanks
Hello Tommy, welcome to Overland Bound. Start from the ground (tires) and move up for your modifications.

That’s what I was thinking, looking at a set of Continental terraincontact A/Ts. They seem to have some good reviews.

Hello Danny, welcome to Overland Bound!
 
Kansas here.
total noob.
got the outdoor bug recently when we visited the southwest.
headed to Moab the end of this month. Not into crawling, just cool trails and scenic views.
glad to have found this place.
Welcome from GA Ryno! I'm a noob too but that's not gonna stop me from getting out and having a little adventure.

Hi! I am Rich from Ravensdale, WA. I am a lifelong outdoor adventurer, but new to the overlanding community. I switched from a full-size GMC to a Wrangler as my primary offroad vehicle a few years ago. After several years of research and planning, I'm in the process of building up my '21 JLU Rubicon for more adventures with my family. I will be doing a mix of my own builds and purchases and will be very interested in OB community feedback and recommendations.

Glad to be a part of the community.
Welcome from GA Rich! You have a great platform to build from. Enjoy the process.

Welcome to OB TacoSlangr! I'm new to this too and so looking forward to outdoor adventures.
 
Hi all. I live in Bellevue, NE. Retired from 22 years in the Air Force as Security Forces in Nov 2020 and stayed here working a contractor job on Offutt AFB. I purchased my 2016 Power Wagon July 2021 and have loved it since. I'm just looking around to see what all has been done by other PW owners. She's stock and a pure princess pavement for now, I'll be honest lol. But I want to get her out in the wild soon though. She currently has 61,900 miles on her.

Hello,
Jon Lambert here, I'm new to the membership, but not new to the overland concept. I've been following several of the overland channels on youtube for sometime now. Although my wife & I have not done much "overlanding" (not much in the midwest that I'm aware of.) We love camping and exploring whether that be hiking, Mtn biking etc. I've been on a handful of camping trips at a campground with the rig, but I want to get off the beaten path and wake up to some amazing views.

We live in Northern Illinois. I'm hoping to develop some community with-in the forum and get tips on dispersed camping locations

My Rig: Also daily driver - (2016, Toyota, Tacoma TRD Sport, Front Runner rack on a Leer Topper, with an FSR High Country 55 roof top tent.) I love to cook and have built a drawer system and use it for storage and a camp kitchen.
