I am new to the overlanding community and so far I have found it full of amazing people. I am currently driving a 17 4Runner. Currently building up to do a portion of the trans-American trail. Well at least see how far we will make it.

Hey guys new to the forum. I'm from north Texas and have been into camping and off road adventures all my life. I am about to rebuild my 1992 F150 into my dream overland truck so me and my wife can get out and see this beautiful country we live in. I'll get into details later....maybe a build thread?!? I also go out on two wheels on my dual sported ktm 450 xcf. Looking forward to meeting more like minded people.

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.

Hi Everyone!

My name is Pete and I am very new to the overland community. I have camped all my life and often used Jeeps for recreational off road but never blended the two. This just seems to be the perfect balance for me and the values of the OB community is exactly my shared opinion. In fact it resulted in a last minute trip to Overland Expo East and I picked up my OB member emblems too!

I'm located in Bradford, Ontario, Canada and my vehicle is definitely as vintage unit. 1948 Willys CJ2A with a kubota turbo diesel and bantam trailer with RTT. I'm a jeep guy at heart!

Looking forward to being a member and hopefully meet some of you on the trails!

Pete
