Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[freak4life]

Hi All!

I'm new to overlanding, got a Freelander 2 a few years ago and got a roof tent last year, instantly realised this is what we wanted to do with our lives, travel with our dogs in our landy.

Based in the centre of the UK we've so far only done a few weekends away and then the NC500 route in Scotland and it's been a learning curve, but hope to make it onto the continent next year!
Day job I'm a web developer, but I also volunteer 24/7 for Mountain Rescue, as well as getting involved in local flood response - having the 4x4 has helped out a lot on shouts.

Want to thank @Mike W for his recent post on a D4 conversion which has brought me to the forum. Hoping to become a member later, just trying to justify the $33 shipping to the wife

Look forward to getting to know you all as time goes on!

Hi, my name is Oliver. I am from Worms, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany and my vehicle is a Jeep Liberty KJ with several modifications. I grew up with camping, have experience in outdoor, trekking and canoeing and some experience off-road. My plan is to get my little KJ ready for overland trips in Europe and I like to find people to connect.

Greetings
Oliver

Hello Oliver. Welcome to Overland Bound from southern California.

Hi folks, I'm Joe and have great hopes of learning new stuff. My first 4 wheel vehicle was a 1958 CJ-5 with a blown engine. My Dad's mechanic helped me put a rebuilt 283 back in the days when there were no adapter kits. I grew up in Central Florida before Disney moved in. I've had 9 CJ 5's over the years, 74 FJ 40 that eventually had 350 transplanted along with a 400 Turbo Hydro and a really short rear drive shaft. A 49 CJ2A with a 360 AMC and several other flat fenders with different set up. #1 son built a 65 CJ 5 with a 350 that would whip the pants off 5.0 mustangs up to 70 where it ran out of gears. I believe I had the first 1970 Blazer in Phoenix and it pulled me and a horse trailer up on the Rim almost weekly when I was in town. That became a 72 long bed K 20 with a camper until I got moved to NC in 73 and no fourby until I got my 74 FJ that I took to Turkey. Only got stuck once there and it took 2 Turkish tractors and bunch of kids to get me out. Came back to MD (not by choice) and it took me 33 years to escape that place. We did take a 3 year vacation in Homer, AK and I flew for Cook Inlet Aviation and we had a matched pair of diesel F250's in 4 wd. We came back with a kid...other than fishing , hunting and flying not much else to do. The economy was awful so we went back to MD and I retired in 2000 and did military/intel consulting for the US Gov't and various contractors. I moved to Sandpoint, ID in 2010, wife retired in 2013. I can't afford Toyota's anymore as a poor retired guy so I have a 2008 Frontier Super Cab 6' bed and there is a 2010 Xterra around here somewhere. Oh...there is a 1958 (first year) Forward Control 150 in the hanger waiting to be buffed up and a little work done. I've ridden motorcycles since I was 14 and I'm down to 6 or 7, Harley, 1250 Bandit, DRZ 400, Honda NC750 DCT, TW 200, 74 CT 90 we rebuilt Honda ATV and a 21 700 Pioneer. Wife died 2 month's ago after 40 years of partner and friendship and lots of great adventures in all 50 states and 28 countries. Other than the above it's been a pretty dull life and I'm looking for adventure...got any to spare???

Welcome to Overland Bound Joe.
Thanks for sharing your story.
My condolences to you for loss.

Hey everyone, I'm Ray. I've been doing the off road thing since I got my Wrangler in 2016. Did a lot of off road parks and recently found out about overlanding and am exploring it.

Hi all! I am a new member in Salt Lake City.

Picked this bad boy up on New Year's Eve - nice way to start 2023! It's a Badlands with the Lux package and Sasquatch package. I am looking to do as much offroading and overlanding as possible this year!
