[Jimmy Schantz]

Hello all! I am brand new to all things here. I bought a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport in February. Before that, I drove a Honda Insight, so quite the shift :) I am located in Nashville TN, and am brand new to overlanding. I want to use my truck to get away from the job and the chaos and be in the quiet with my dog. Thank you for helping!

Hello!
Dan from Alaska. I have a plethora of vehicles, but you are most likely to see me out and about in a 1969 FJ40.
My other vehicles are a 1979 F150, 1979 jeep Cherokee chief , or a 1974 jeep J20.

I have been making long road trips and exploring trails since I could drive.

I am the father of seven.....so I have not been to adventurous for a few years. My oldest daughter is 16 now and has bought here first jeep, and my second oldest will be be liscened in less than a year, so we will be going out to explore a lot more.

Hello, my name is Rodger and I am in Boise Idaho. I have been into off roading for about 5 years and I have really been interested in overlanding for the last few.

I bought my 2007 FJ Cruiser a little over 3 years ago. It is mostly stock, with the exception some upgrades when performing maintenance and repairs.

View attachment 60725 Hello. My name is Chris and I am located in Muskogee, Oklahoma (Okie from Muskogee). My wife and I have started getting really interested in Overlanding here in the last few months. We've always been the outdoors-y type but we recently purchased a 2010 JK and it has become apparent that this is something we want to do as a family. I would say our overlanding experience is novice but are ready to learn! Really looking forward to upgrading our rig and sharing the overlanding adventure with our daughter, who is constantly on the hunt for bigfoot!

 

[Cleasby]

Hi,

Empty nester Outdoor enthusiast from Austin TX. With both kids in college in Colorado want to explore more of the back roads getting there and when up there (for starters)

Stock 2014 F150 Fx4 short bed. Due to budget constraints (out of state college is expensive), starting small with some basic upgrades, first Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tires. Not sure what next. Reason I joined the group, to learn from the wealth of knowledge/experience the Overland Bound forum members have and to meet up with some on our travels.

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.
