Just attended the OB meet up in Livermore Sunday, Dec 4th, met some cool people and connected with the R50 group I chat with. I am driving a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. Have done a little work on her and look forward to get more into Overlanding. I have always cherished nature in its beauty and would like to explore and help clean up our backyard! I love the Overland Bound principles and hope to connect and explore with others.

Hey all, new to the group and located near Atlanta, GA. We are in a Jeep JKUR and generally are exploring in the Southeast. I'm definitely not new to being in the outdoors or working on vehicles but am far from an expert. Looking forward to connecting with others in the region and sharing the hobby.

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

I have been camping and adventuring for along time now but only in the last 5 years have I started overlanding. Trying to show my kids the adventure in nature never ends.

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Hi all, I just attended an OB meetup in Livermore (Dec 4), and it was very cool. Lots of awesome rigs and friendly people. I live in Sacramento County now, but I lived almost 20 years in the Bay Area. It's actually nicer to live on this side of the Altamont, being closer to most trails and not having to deal with traffic on 580/680.

I have 2 overlanding rigs, built for different purposes:
97 Nissan Pathfinder (6" lift, dual ARB lockers, on-board air, winch, rock sliders, etc.) <--- this is my rock-crawler, for tighter and/or more challenging excursions
05 Toyota Sequoia (2.5" lift, rear ARB locker, rock sliders) <--- this is my light/medium difficulty trail runner, tow rig, usually used for longer trips or for bringing extra people and gear

I've been "overlanding" since about 1998, when I realized that my 4x4 could take me places in the wilderness that I'd always longed to explore but lacked the equipment to do so. It's taken over 20 years to build my Nissan into what it is today, and it's been really fun to see how the "overlanding" subculture has really grown over the last 2 decades.

That being said, I hope to get more active, attending future trail runs and meeting more awesome, like-minded overlanding folks.

Thanks in advance for the welcome!
