Hey y'all. New jack living in the Virginia Piedmont. My 4 wheel rig is an '07 4Runner V8. My 2 wheel rig is a 98 BMW R1100GS. Glad to have found this site. Living in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge of overland travel so that I can really explore more of the area.

Forgot to add that my son has a '99 4Runner 5 speed and he is looking forward to learning right alongside me.

Hello OB Family! My name is Jane and I am a total newbie. My husband has a lot of experience trail driving. We drive a 2015 Jeep JKUR Hardrock. All of this lingo is new to me so, I will assuredly make many mistakes. We attended the 2017 OTG Rally and had an absolute blast! Hope to do it again next year with lots of adventures under our belt by then. What a great group of people! Look forward to meeting more Overlanders!

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.

Hello all,
I am a novice at the overland game. I have a little off-roading experience though. I am in southern Illinois. I just bought a 2016 Jeep JKU and in the process of making it a overland rig. It has a 3" rough country lift sitting on 35" m/t tires on 17" rims.
