Hello!

Steve here, Baltimore Metro. Most of my off-roading has been the old Green Ridge State Forest, fire roads, and whatnot. There may have some light shenanigans in a rental Wrangler in a western desert state a long time ago.

I've been camping since I was a teen. Much of our traveling has been road-based camp site to camp site in New England, Glacier NP, Shenandoah, Assateague and tons of state parks. Usually just about every year I hit Assateague for a few days and drive my truck down the ORV area and fish. Pic is below.

The Porkchop Express: 2004 Tacoma TRD that is going to be parted out. Bought an OME suspension and found out the mount points on the frame were toast. RIP. I was always more rigged for campsite/heavy truck camping and now want to go the other direction. Overlanding has always intrigued me. I have had an M416 I've been sitting on to make a camping trailer out of for years but I'm going to sell that soon.

Planning on doing my first true overland trip over my birthday in March next year. I've found a couple rental setups in CA that might be able to make a Joshua Tree > Mojave Road > Death Valley > with maybe a trip to the Grand Canyon over 7 days. Thinking about a couple friends that are more aggressive campers than me to rent rigs as well.

Last thing: I have to replace my beloved Porkchop Express. Seriously considering after we get back from out west buying a Gladiator based on how it handles the terrain and making more and more overland trips on weekends and extended. I'm not into crawling and thinking about doing a Mojave. Coincidentally the rentals are Gladiators.

Cheers and safe travels.

Welcome to Overland Bound Steve.

Hello,

I am James. My wife and I enjoy travel and off-roading. We are moving into an RV full time so we will be able to travel the country and use the RV as a mobile home base.


1. Charlotte, NC (until the end of the week)
2. 2009 Wrangler (SwampFox)
3. Began hiking and camping as a Cub Scout. Enjoy visiting historical sites. Love getting off the paved roads. View attachment 239516View attachment 239517

Hello!

Warren here. Although I learned to drive by driving on trails and gravel, most of my off-road experience is from many years ago. I first got behind the wheel of a vehicle at age 11 in my uncle's Series III Land Rover.

1. Asheville, NC
2. 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro Lime Rush
3. Been driving in muck for years but I'd say I'm still a novice. I grew up in Costa Rica driving Land Rovers and Land Cruisers through all sorts of trails and have lived in Montana, Oregon, and North Carolina. My gf and I spend most of our free time outdoors and this vehicle fits our lifestyle.

Hello everyone!

I was just at the mountain west overland expo when my uncle told me about this site. I decided it was important to join, and introduce myself to you all!

Name: Please call me Joe.
Rig: Currently 2014 Jeep Compass 4x4, but will soon be trading that in for something better suited for overlanding, and life outside. A Toyota, most likely, I’ll update y’all as things progress in that arena.
Location: Denver, CO
Experience: Novice. I’ve camped my whole life, but overlanding has grown into its own thing, so I’m new to it.
