Hello overlanders,
My name is Dave, I'm from Western Australia, my rig is a 2012 Volkswagen Amarok with a lot of mods, I have owned it since new and the first time it went off road was the day I picked it up from the dealership.
Prior to that I have had 2 Toyota Hiluxes, and a 120 series Toyota Prado.
All of my off road driving has been done here in Australia, plenty of sand, rock and mud.

Hi!

Still checking out the forum and all the info. I have an '07 Jeep Commander 4x4 4.7/V8 (Chip). Def. a novice but still figuring it all out before I [finish the renovations and] start full time living in the camper (Burrito) I got a 'lil bit ago. I travel for work so I am all over the place - I move at most every three months. Currently out in Iowa until summer. Looking forward to the adventures ahead. View attachment 88405

Just introducing myself. I'm excited to get to know some other people who share my enthusiasm for the outdoors.

Driving a 2017 TRD Pro (Cement color) that I picked up last month. So I'm just getting started on my build. I'll post some photos once I hit the minimum post count.

Hi all.
I have a 2006 dodge ram 2500hd that myself and my 14yr old son love to camp, hunt, fish, and ride the quads out of and off of. I am from the great state of New York. I have been out of doors my whole life but due to some health problems i have been relagated to car camping. But darn it i will get fixed and lose the wate so can do all the stuff i used to.

As a fellow New Yorker...

Hello my name is Gavin, I'm looking to get more knowledge about overlanding by experiencing it myself and through the company of others.

Welcome to Overland Bound

Hey everyone, Im Nick from Bernardston MA. I picked up my 2011 crewmax rock warrior tundra back in November and I've had a blast finally exploring the local trails around western MA. I'm in the process of getting to a point where I'd be comfortable on intermediate trails without damaging the truck. I have Lower control arm skids that I'm waiting to install and have plans for 35X12.5X17 ko2's, a plate bumper with better clearance, rock sliders, and full skids for the trans, transfer case, gas tank, and rear diff. When will I have the money for those? Probably not until late summer, but until then I like to go out and travel some easy trails. I've always loved camping out in the some random part of the woods and me and a couple friends usually go hike out to a spot to set up our hammocks but they'd rather hike because we don't know a lot of trails out here. Its my hope that by coming to this forum I can meet like minded people who can show me the ropes and maybe a few trails . I finally had the pleasure to meet another forum member from a tundra forum and It made me really happy to get in touch with another enthusiast. I hope to meet a lot of new people and travel to new places

Hi Folks, someone at work told me about this forum today, so I'm here to check it out.

Hello all! New to this fancy forum thing and new to overlanding. I just purchased my 2000 limited 4Runner and can’t wait to start dumping every dime I can into it! My brother in-law (he’s a Jeep guy) and I will be hitting some trails in north Georgia this summer.

Morning/afternoon everyone! I’m Chris #16638, and this is my second venture into the offroad scene, but first into the overland world. I’ve been mostly involved in sports cars/imports most of my life so I’m quite familiar with doing all my own wrenching.

My current rig is an 04 Lexus GX470 that has had quite a bit of time/money/effort thrown at it and hopefully it shows.

I’m from the Menifee, CA area but you will likely see me in both Riverside/San Diego Counties! I’m really looking forward to getting involved with the community and seeing how far I can delve into the overland community.

Hi I'm Brian. I'm not new to four wheeling, but new to overlanding. I've owned several Broncos and a Nissan D10 for mostly trail riding in Florida. I came across some overlanding videos on youtube and it got me really excited about exploring out west. I'm looking to learn about all the tricks and nuances of overlanding and hopefully head out west for an adventure. Looking forward to exploring the forums!

Well, I joined and it's time to introduce myself... and test out the forum. I am certainly a "novice", I have only owned two 4x4 vehicles, both icons. I previously had a Mercedes G500 Gelandewagen, which proved too unreliable to own. I've moved on to a 2018 Toyota 4Runner. Contrary to most on the forum here, I am sure, mine is a Limited. It will do 90% duty on-road, and therefore Limited. The permanent 4WD is key in WI. I plan to take it on some off-road trails, and some camping as soon as possible, so anyone in the area please by all means reach out. I will also be taking a trip or two west this year, likely Glacier National Park and Colorado. I already have a TMT rack in the garage waiting to install, as well as a James Baroud Voyager RTT. The forum will not allow me to add a link to the photos of the T4R until I have posted more, so... there's that. I guess next post?

Hi everyone, my name is Clay and I'm in Lexington, KY. My wife and I have been in to Jeeps for awhile (2006 LJ Rubicon and 2018 JLU Rubicon) and this past year I've taken a dive into the Land Cruiser World. Currently I have two 1985 FJ60s and was planning to build one out for Overlanding but recently picked up a 1997 LX450 that will go through some restoration and be our Overlanding setup. I did a lot of backpacking and outdoor activities with Scouts growing up and now with two young children we're looking forward to traveling with them in the outdoors.

Hello There!

I'm Casey Craven, I live in Western NC, USA. I have a 2007 FJ Cruiser. Most (essentially all) of my "overland" experience involved me living out of an LAV 25 for 4 years. I've been more into rocks since I got this FJC, but I want to branch out.

Hello, I’m Jared. Just joined and excited to start hitting some trails. Just recently purchased my 5th Gen 4Runner and can’t wait to see how it does. I’m definitely not new to the offroad scene, but discovered the world of overlanding and it’s right up my alley. I am from NW Pennsylvania but plan to make some trips all over to see the country. But, I am definitely not opposed to some trips in my home state.
