Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

Hello Overland Bound Community!

Newcomer here! I am located in the Upstate NY Region and I drive a 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD. I would say I am a very experienced Overlander - yet I will always have more to learn. Some of my favorite trails so far are: Arroyo Seco Del Diablo trail in SOCAL, The Coast Ridge Road over Big Sur, Ocotillo Wells SVRA, and Eagles Nest 4wd trail in PA. My goals here are to learn as much as possible and interact with fellow Overlanders.

Hello Overland Bound Community,
I'm Tito. I am located in A.A. county Maryland, and just recently bought a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road. I dont really have much experience overlanding or driving off road. After spending a few weeks traveling up the west cost and hiking some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. I decided to move my life off the pavement. I traded my road bike for a mountain bike, and my F-rs for a Tacoma. Here's a picture of my truck all loaded up for its first weekend trip. Unfortunately there wasn't really any off roading, but riding a downhill park for the first time was a blast. I Have a big solo trip planned this summer. Heading to California to visit family. then up to Tahoe, through Moab and in to Colorado. Looking to do some light wheeling and hit some downhill parks when I'm out west. I look forward to utilizing the information in this community to find some nice beginner trails, or fire roads along my way. And maybe having the chance to meet some of you in person

Hi guys,

Newbie to OB. Been 4x4ing for 30 plus years in the mountains of NH and beaches of Cape Cod. Had Jeeps CJs, Cherokee, Tacoma and currently a 2010 Tundra TRD-oh and my army-issued Humvee back in the 90s (she leaked when it rained and was hot as hell but what a beast)!

I humbly consider myself somewhat experienced and fairly capable in my driving abilities. Just relocating to the White Mountains of NH now and transitioning into semi-retirement. Plan on trading Tundra before year’s end for a 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium (I want my moon roof).

With my love of travel and the outdoors, overlanding in my next phase of life seems like a good fit. Looking forward to my future trips! Look forward to meeting some of you in the future.

Hey guys my name is Kevin, I’m about to turn 32 and I am from Yorba Linda, CA. I have been off-roading for about two years now and I drive a 2004 Jeep Wrangler X with an OME suspension lift and 31 inch tires. Will be doing many more upgrades in the future and am getting ready for a trip to the Mojave Road this summer although my normal off-roading locations include Johnson Valley and local trails like main divide.

G'day, new member here (#17500) and wanted to intro myself. My name is Douglas and I reside in the San Diego Area. Just sold my 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser and bought a 2015 Ford F-150 4x4 that I want to start building up. I know...crazy right but, I have my reasons. Looking forward to meeting new people and having great adventures, Cheers.

Welcome fellow Tacoma owner! I was in the Springs for the first time ln September. Didn't spend too much time in nature, a run up Pike's Peak and wandering around Garden of the Gods, but I like it there. Hope to get back someday. Maybe a grand loop through the Tetons, Yellowstone, Sheridan, Colorado Springs, Black Bear Pass, and back. I was thinking about this for July this year but obligations will make it unlikely.
 
Hey so I'm Kody! I'm Workin on building my 97 Ford explorer into and overland rig. Always wanted to do something like this but never really had a name for it so this is pretty cool! Happy to join the crew and help out others all I can. Do all mine mechanical work and so custom fab as well!
Hello Kody and welcome to OBC forum. Wish you were closer, I have a whole lot of fabbing that needs to be done and not many people in my small populated area that can do it. Those that do, want my arm and leg. They aint a gonna get it ! Come on in and get wet..Lanlubber

Hello Mate, glad to haveya aboard. It'll be nice to see something other than Toyota's and Jeeps out there (very good choices also). As for myself I drive a 2000 Land Rover Discovery 2 that I am building especially for OB travel ventures. I wont be out there this year in it but I will be out there with my fairly capable 2008 4x4 (minus the low range transfer case) Ford Escape and my Scamp trailer I call "Sheila". Have a nice day Mate in your beautiful city of San Diego, Love it !
 
Hey All!

My name is Matt, and I am from Long Island, NY.
I am a novice and and have very little off road experience. Light wooded areas and beach riding are the extent.
My rig is a 2017 GMC Sierra with the A Terrain X package.
Looking forward to getting out there and getting to know you!

Hello All!

I am excited to join the community. I have been watching numerous videos over the last year from Overland Bound, Lifestyle Overland, The Epic Family Roadtrip, Max Powell and many others. I went on my first camping trip when I was about 15 years old and fell in love with nature. On that trip, I also started my journey as an amateur nature photographer, so this is the best of all worlds!

As for the details, I do not have my rig as of yet. I ordered a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off-Road back in March. Now, as I anxiously await my taco, I am trying not to buy every accessory I see out there. I currently reside in North Carolina and looking forward to attending the Expo in October up in Virginia. Hope to meet you all!

Nice. I also have a Land Rover. 1967 Series IIA 109 that's in the shop, can't find break parts anymore.
 
Hello. New Member here. New to off-roading and overlanding. I never knew a world of overlanding existed and I found out that I have a deep passion for it. Looking forward to more overlanding adventures ahead. I currently have an 2018 4runner off-road premium with Rhino rack backbone roof rack, Bilstein 5160/6112 combo, 275/70/17 KO2. Future mods include SSO slimline front bumper, Wilco high profile back hitch, RSG sliders, RCI Skids, Winch and more LED lighting. I am looking forward to being part of an awesome overlanding community. Adventure is truly necessary.
