You're welcome and Merry Christmas!
You're welcome and Merry Christmas!
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 Nevada Cowboy and welcome to OB! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!Hello from Nevada. I've always been an "outdoor" type. Love hiking, camping, off-roading and nearly everything affiliated. Lucky enough to live in the western eleven and have tons of overlanding experience in the western states and Mexico's Baja. So glad I found this site.

Thanks & welcome to you too my man!Hey bro, I just joined myself so I’ll hop on it and be the first to say welcome!
Hi Rene Daniel and welcome to OB! Nice rig! Safe travels and enjoy those open roads!Hello from Houston, TX. I just moved out to TX from MO and prior I was a west coast kid. I grew up camping and doing mild and medium back country trails and such.
I have a 2015 Tacoma Double cab 4x4 with a RTT and a hardtop. I’m always in the process of looking for more trips and folks to share a campfire with.
Happy trails!

The rack basket is a Smittybilt Defender PN#40404 and ligth cage PN#40002. I already had Rhino Rack cross bars on it, so I just attached the basket to it instead of buying the roof mounts from Smittybilt. (and I didn't want to drill holes in the roof).Who did you get your rack from, I've got a 2015 Frontier crew cab 4x4 in white. Between now and October I'm having a 2 0r 3"lift kit and ARB front and rear bumpers installed.

Thanks for the welcome! And safe travels to you, Izzi, and Annie as well! Been following your channels for a while now - very jealous that you guys are in sunny, warm CA this week! I'll keep my eye out as you head east (I still need to fill out my 50 State Questionnaire). Count me in for at least one Jade Jamboree once you get closer to MA.Hi Pat and welcome to OB!
