Hey all. Glad to be here. After getting my midlife crisis 2021 JLU RUBICON ecodiesel after my gf totaled my FJ CRUISER, (I know, I should have went for the 392 given the midlife statement)

After watching a ton of YouTube since getting this thing, we are looking to get out there on the trails. That’d be ~450 miles west of Idaho.
I’d consider myself a new to overlanding but have rode along w my parents doing this years upon years ago in Wyoming as a kid w a ton of camping in between then and now.
Hello Jeff, welcome to Overland Bound!

Thank you! This is a great place! Good to see someone from Eastern Washington here (LOL, I'm a former Quinault resident. To us EVERYBODY's Eastern Washington).
It truly is a great place, lots of great folks willing to help and tons of invaluable knowledge. I was just out on the Peninsula few weeks ago, such a beautiful area! LOL "Eastern", now that's funny and makes total sense!

Hello from the desert of southern Arizona (I'm the one on the right with the hat)!
My rig is a 2013 Nissan Xterra PRO-4X. Got it a month ago. Just getting started with modifications.
I'm an overlanding noob, but I have some knowledge and experience related to camping and ultralight backpacking. We'll see how much of that is translatable.
Looking forward to contributing to the group!

Hey guys, new member here but not new to Overlanding. My name is Rex Royer and I live in SouthWest Louisiana. I have a 2017 Jeep JKU and absolutely love to travel both domestically and internationally. Looking forward to being a member of this group. My wife and I usually take 3 to 4 trips a year in the surrounding states as far away as Utah and Colorado. I am merely the navigator and the wife is the driver and she loves learning all there is to know about driving.
