[Phil4real]

Greetings from Henderson, Nevada!
New to Overlanding and definitely a novice. We are currently in the process of upgrading our rig with an Old Man Emu suspension and some other mods to make it trail ready. It seems that folks in the Overland community are really down to earth and just good people. That's really what brought us to Overland Bound. Looking forward to meeting new people and hopefully making some friends along the way!

Hi, I am in old Henderson, just bought a 2000 Silverado 2500 that I am going to be working on making an overlander

 

[Phil4real]

We had a 2004 deisel Silverado. Regret selling it! When we get our rig up & running, let’s get together & hit a trail. Were not familiar with any trails out here, if you know of any easier trails (we’re newbies) let us know & we’ll check them out.

Oh, I am not getting crazy in a full size. It has the turning radius of a 747

Hello!

Mike in Southcentral PA
Current ride: 1997 4Runner (just bought 3/23/18)
I've owned (& built) many vehicles, but this is my latest project.

Trying to get my Wife to move out of the Campground and into open air... tough sell so far.

Will post more later. I have many questions!

Hi,
I am from northern Utah. I basically grew up overlanding before I knew what overlanding was. Though I haven’t gotten out there for awhile. Unfortunately I don’t currently have a rig, but am in the market. I look forward to being able to get out there and explore, learn new things and meet new people!

Fantastic Trailer! My husband and I often talk about how few women want to go camping. The issue we've seen the most is not having proper toilet facilities. We like using a pop-up tent with a Self-Reliance toilet. It all fits nicely in our Trasheroo on the back of the vehicle and can be set up in less than 5 minutes. Here's a picture of our setup. Hope this helps her to want to get out and enjoy the outdoors with you! Denise Drake #12169

Nice set-up JD45ACP!

She will go camping if we are within 2 minutes walk of the Shower House, but I would think the bathroom is her #1 (& #2.. lol) concern. We also have 6 kids, and the youngest 4 are all girls, so she does make a valid point. She definitely wants a shower with enough hot water to "hose off" daily. I just want to find a good alternative, short of buying a 28ft Bunkhouse Trailer! LOL

I grew up in Western PA, so I'm used to being out in the sticks. Some of my best memories are going to places only our bikes or a 4-wheeler could go. There's lots to show the family, even here on the East Coast.

I'll post a few more pics of our Rainy Day camp. (See the Shower House in the background... lol)
