My family loves camping and over landing is the best way to get to some cool spots. Would love to get together with others in the area (Pittsburgh and Orange County ca for two more months.)

Hey everyone,

My name is Austin and I am new to Overland Bound and the overlanding community in general. My family lives in Anderson, SC where we have great access to both the beach and mountains.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado LT Z71
- 2.5” Motofab Leveling Kit up front
- 275/70/R18 BFG KO2 tires on factory wheels
- LineX bedliner, BakFlip Fibermax bedcover, Wethertech floorliners

I’m still looking at what’s possible and what is next for this truck.

I want to get into overlanding for the simple fact that I’m a new dad and I want my child(ren) to enjoy the outdoors more than I had the opportunity to as a child. Plus, I’m a desk jockey and any time outside is an escape!

I look forward to diving-in, learning, and hopefully contributing in the future.
