Hey everyone!

My name is Ryan from Colorado Springs, CO driving a 2016 Tacoma TRD Off Road. I'm looking at getting started with this community and hopefully getting involved with local and community-based trail runs and overland trips. My truck is fairly stock at the moment, but I have upgraded my tires and have added a bed rack for mounting my CVT roof top tent. We'll eventually upgrade the suspension and run 285s for overland purposes. We're fairly new to overlanding, but got the itch after my wife and I did White Rim Trail in Moab, UT this last summer. Excited to get started!

Sadly only about a dozen ,spread out from Ellensburg to Walla Walla. Most aren't active users of the forum and don't make contact .Trying to change that and would love to have a group to get together with.

Hello, Rhea and Valerie here to introduce ourselves.

1) A pic of our rig is on our profile page :)
2) We're in San Diego, CA
3) We drive a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (JKU) with a few self-installed mods (bumper, winch, budget boost, skid plate, heavy duty spare tire carrier, interior cargo rack, etc.)
4) I estimate we have intermediate short-run Overlanding Experience (lots of primitive weekend off-road and camp trips) including recently completing a Mojave Road adventure with one other vehicle, so we're looking forward to some group trips with OB!

Hi I'm John .... My Buddies call me Seal.
I have been rebuilding a 1996 F-350 7.3 Turbo Diesel, and have been thinking of turning it into an Outbound Rig !

Here She is .....
I live in central Massachusetts and have hunted and camped northern New England a few times over the years.
I am a You Tube aficionado, as far as Outland experience goes.
I would welcome any thoughts on how to proceed with the rest of my build ... ( I am not a Bazillionaire ) !!
Welcome to Overland Bound Seal, pretty sweet truck you got there

Hi all, I just signed up - had heard about OB from a trail friend I met last summer on the TAT. I'm currently working in Atlanta, but soon moving to Malmö Sweden in January (shipping my rig at Christmas), so thought I would try to connect with some overlanders once there.

I have a 2015 Jeep JKU - this picture is from Oklahoma last June.

I learned to drive (way back) on Vancouver Island logging roads with my dad's International Scout. After many years of not doing much off-road, I decided to buy a JK. Did a round trip on the Trans-America Trail last summer and a few weeks on backroads on Vancouver Island. Photography is a side gig for me, so my JKU is my photo assistant, taking me places not many people get to.
Welcome to Overland Bound Murray! Safe travels

Hello All,

I have a 2015 Subaru Outback and I live in Ormond Beach FL. Ormond is on the East coast just north of Daytona Beach. My overlanding experience is limited but growing all the time. Closest location for ovelanding is the Ocala National Forest but we do have the luxury of being able to drive on the beach. Nothing like taking your rig for a ride along the ocean! Looking to eventually travel through Mexico and Central America to visit friends and do some mountain climbing.
Welcome to Overland Bound Rob, neat Subaru! I really like the look
