Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[rooftentoverland]

Hi everybody, we are Thomas and Agata from Munich, Germany (Oktoberfest, FC Bayern...)
We are on a 2007 BMW 320d, upgrading to a Toyota Land Cruiser 150 Prado soon.
We have been on the roads a bit, no offroading yet, but that will hopefully change soon with the LC.

1) Picture was taken in Marlborough, New Zealand
2) I'm based in Wellington, New Zealand
3) My rig is a 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series turb0 diesel (1HD-FTE) with triple diff lockers. I've fitted a bull bar, winch, 2in suspension lift, tow bar, and roof rack. I've also built a storage system for the load bay.
4) My wife and I have been overlanding together for a number of years. We've been fortunate to have travelled in a number of countries around the world. We enjoy getting to explore remote scenic locations.

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

• 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.

[Chris and Scout]

Hello everyone, I'm Chris and I drive an older 97 Jeep. I grew up camping with my dad and they are too this day some of my favorite memories so now that I'm off in college I found myself seeking that adventure at every chance possible. I currently live in Norman Oklahoma and was looking for some like minded individuals when I stumbled across the Overland Bound YouTube channel. I'm excited for summer to go on some trips and hopefully meet some of you. My current project is a bed platform for the back of my Jeep so I can sleep off the ground. I'm excited to be part of the group and meet some of you.

Hello all,

I am new to this community and to the whole overlanding thing. I drive a 2005 stock Toyota tacoma manual transmission. I am looking forward to learning about overlanding and about upgrades for my truck.

I plan to build a pop-up camper over the summer and am thinking about a lift. But for now I am just dreaming for the future due to a lack of funds.

I live in south eastern BC Canada, and I am drawn to overlanding as a way t0 access places most people don't get to experience.

Welcome ! BC Canada awesome. My family and I will be drivOmg through next month on our journey to Alaska !

 

[Marble42]

Welcome, from the newbie right above you. Your truck is like the big brother to mine. Love the color!

Ya - I think yours may be a bit more appropriate for overlanding. :) Is yours a debadged raptor? I also agree, that magnetic is pretty hard to pass up.

Cheers,!

Hello from North Carolina!

Thanks for allowing me to join the group! I am relatively new to Overlanding as a whole but have had some experience with off-roading in years past. I’m looking forward to learning and interacting with the group!

My rig is an 06 4Runner Sport. Picked it up just a few weeks ago and have done some mild upgrades to include suspension lift, wheels, tires, etc.
