Welcome to Overland Bound! Hope you can make our meet-up on the 25th in Manteca check the meet-up page for info. As for moving to Idaho what is the general area you are going to?
 
I'm Dan from Concord NC.

Just picked up a lightly used 2014 4Runner Trail and plan on building it into our family adventure vehicle.

I enjoyed camping with my family as a child and with my friends as a young man as well as a good bit of off roading in my teens and early twenties. I'm looking forward to rekindling those kinds of experiences and introducing it to my kids.

Looking forward to making friends on this site and learning about building a good adventure rig.

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.

My name is Lawrence. I just recently bought this 1996 Tacoma V6 manual trans. I’m literally the second owner! I’m in the process of upgrading the suspension, tires, clutch, etc to ensure it is capable of over-landing. I’m from the Raleigh, NC area. Anyone interested in traveling around NC, please let me know! Cheers

Thank for the add! I am Scott Singer and I reside in the Birmingham, AL area. I am new to the Overland community, but I do have several local buddies that are members here and told me to join. I just purchased a new 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Recon Edition a few months ago. I am really looking forward to getting out and getting involved in this community.
