Sweet FJ! Always glad to see another fj on the forum. Where you from? Hopefully we can meet while my wife and I travel the US this year

Sent from my VS995 using OB Talk mobile app
We're from north-central Illinois. Yes, let's hope our paths cross! We're looking to do a weeklong trip down to east Tenn next summer. Maybe then.

We finally joined the Overland Bound Crew! Don’t know why we didn’t do it years ago. I’ll keep this short;

’07 Toyota FJ Cruiser modified nicely.

’17 Toyota 4Runner we’re currently preparing.

Been overlanding all my life (Mark), with Merri for 30 years of it.

Our hope is to meet up with members from our area and beyond for some fun adventures very soon!
Hi Mark and Merri - welcome to OB! Nice looking FJ! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Matt, and I live in the greater Hartford Connecticut area. I drive an '07 FJ Cruiser I bought back in May and am new to the Overland experience and community. I look forward to getting to meet and know some fellow off-road adventure enthusiasts.

Hello from North Texas!

My name is Jeff, and I live about 30 miles north of Dallas/Ft. Worth. Not new to off road (use to own a 4x4 shop), but new to Overlanding. My rig is a mostly stock 2013 JKU that I am slowly building as funds allow.

I'm hoping to meet some like minded folks down my way for some 2-3 day trips so I can get my youngest son (7) exposed to some outdoor activities.
Hello Jeff and welcome to the OB crew..nice looking jeep and look forward to seeing your adventures

Orange County (Silverado canyon)
What's up guys an gals. Names Terrance new to the world of 4wd. Not so much to the overlanding. Love to explore and ready to get out now with a more capable rig.

About a month ago I bought a 1999 limited 4wd 4runner.
She is equipped with factory rear locker. Icon coilovers 0 to 3inch lift up front. OME 3inch in the rear with stiff extra weight springs. She has full under Armor by Budbuilt. Rock sliders. 265/75/16 general grabber at2.

Have not had a chance to see what she can do. Only a little trail runs behind my house in the Cleveland national forest. Can't wait to get out and explore.
Hello Terrance and welcome to the OB crew..glad to add another Toy to the group

Hello from Midland, NC.

I am new to overlanding but have always loved camping and being outdoors. I am on my 3rd Tacoma, just got a 2017 Tacoma TRD Pro, that I am going to start to working on. I have been on a few trips in the last year up to the Asheville, Cherokee, Hot Springs area of NC to camp and OHV and I am looking forward to hopefully getting out west in the next year or so to do some exploring. Look forward to talking with everyone one here.

Good evening everyone! Glad to be a member and be able to share ideas with like minded folks.

Im over in Virginia Beach. Hopefully there are some other members in the area.

My rig is an 06 4runner with a fair amount of suspension mods. It is still a work in progress.

I look forward to meeting everyone.20171021_111629.jpg

I have recently become interested in Overlanding so just joined the site. I have been involved in all kinds of camping related activities from backpacking to RV camping with our 5th wheel, to motorcycle touring pulling a small trailer behind our bike, and now this with my 2000 Grand Cherokee WJ. I have lots of ideas already and looking forward to what I can learn here as well as possibly share to help others.

Hello, new one from Idaho. Not the norm, 2005 Excursion. We take it everywhere as my wife loves to Geocache. Which works out good for me as I continually get to make modifications......
