I'm a member of the Northern California Land Rover Club. I've been off-roading for quite a few years now, starting back in 2004 with a tired Discovery 1. I've since moved on from the Disco to an LR3 and now more recently my newest LR4.

New Members,
Welcome to the Overland Bound community! Please take a few moments to introduce yourself so we can get to know you!
A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:
1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)
We're glad you've found us and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!
In addition to getting to know you, here are the guideline sent to all Moderators of the forums. It's a natural reflection of our community, and what Overland Bound is all about:
From @administrator
Well stated!
- Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else.
- We will not further define "overlanding".
- "Capable" depends on the requirements of the trip, and we take that very seriously.
- You are an Overlander: Overlanding is for everyone who has exploration and adventure in their heart, or, who need to be reinvigorated by connecting with nature. Nature is unforgiving. You must rise to a certain level of personal awareness to survive. Sound right? Overlanding is for you.
- Encourage uncomplicated ventures into the great outdoors. Don't over pack.
- Be prepared, and understand basic requirements. Question folks, to be sure they are aware of what is required. Don't assume.
- Share without reservation, trip locations, and information.
- It doesn't matter what you drive: The only requirement of an Overlander is that the vehicle serves the job required, safely.
- We do not care about make or model.
- We do not engage in "this is better than that" competitions.
- We DO give advice about how to make your vehicle ready for what you need. Share knowledge.
- Humility.
- We respect, fear, and protect nature.
- "I don't know" is a great answer.
- We don’t brag about exploits.
- We seek answers from the community when we don’t know.
- We engage in the very smallest of interactions.

Love the AEV lift. It improved performance dramatically both on and off road. No more sag from loading up the Jeep (although I have made it a goal to keep it as light as possible) and better handling overall. It's not extreme, but seems "just right" for me. I am replacing my well used 255/75/17 ST Maxx tires with 255/80s. I think this set up makes for a very balanced rig. Not a hardcore rock crawler, but very capable for what I do. Wranglers should come equipped with a lift like this.Oh cool! Another JK owner. Welcome to the OB forums. I bought a 2015 JK Unlimited and have been very slowly outfitting it ever since. How do you find the AEV 2.5" Dualsport lift? I have not lifted my jeep yet but know that given all the extra weight of my internal mods and the long wheel base of the JK Unlimited, it has to be the next big mod.
Sweet, I get my Gobi rack today, then I can put my rtt on. Slowly coming along. Solar are ready, dometic fridge is good to go.Hey Charles! Your rig looks really mean and capable!! Glad you made it!! I left a note on your profile too!!

Welcome to the OB community. I have geocached and off-roaded a bit in Utah while on vacation and absolutely love the state and the people. I am also a bit of a movie buff and have visited many of the movie sites, which are spread across the northern and western part of the state. I am so looking forward to visiting southern Utah one day. It looks like an overlanding and offroading paradise. Welcome once again!Hey Everyone,
My name's Christian and my rig is Heathen, a 2010 Jeep JK Wrangler Unlimited. Thanks for the warm welcome! I've been a camping, hiking, rock crawler, trail runner, and a member of the Wasatch Outlaw Wheelers for years, but recently became interested in overlanding and am excited to have found this awesome community! My wife and I live in northern Utah and the state is full of places to explore well off the beaten path which is why I think overlanding appeals to me so much. I'll get a few pics of Heathen, posted soon, but I'm ready to learn form the experienced overlanders here and hit the trails this summer and see parts of the back country most people don't know exist!
