[Kent R]

Hi,

Newbie from Norway here... (Rogaland)

No advanced overlanding experience on my side - except for camping roadtrips...

Hope to get a 4x4 sometimes in the future but for now an old Toyota Avensis Verso has to do it.

Welcome to Overland Bound!

Don't hesitate to contact your closest Regional Director @Polaris Overland for help or information. The Regional Director can also get you in touch with a Member Representative that might be close to you and have local information.

Hey guys! Just bought a membership and looking to take a few trips across the country in the next 2-3 years. I'm in the SE and going to start exploring the Georgia/Tennessee area before heading out west. I'm excited to learn from the more experienced members here! Currently in a 4Runner TRD PRO that I'm slowly building up as the needs arise.

[ItchyFeetOverland]

Hello and welcome, I'm doing the same but two year's after you, have you thought of doing the TAT across the US as well?

Hi there. Thanks for the welcome. I have a rough plan to try and incorporate some sections of the TAT but we have a lot of ground to cover before the visa runs out!

 

[WD40DAWSON]

i like the 4runner very nice!

Thank you! Rock sliders should be here this week; painted and installed shortly thereafter.

Just joined up! Looking forward to any knowledge I can either pass on or receive from other members. I’m located in a Kinston NC and drive a LR Discovery 2 with 5in lift and some other goodies.

Hello all, first time caller, long time listener! I've flirted with this lifestyle for a while and am now fully committing to it and surprisingly my wife is on board with this (she's been adamant that I develop a hobby lately...she may regret that!)

My rig is a '14 Jeep JKU on 35s with the associated items you would find on a capable off-road platform. It's not what I would call a beast, but I'm confident it has the basic capabilities to get me through 98% of what I'll encounter out there. I would classify my "true" overloading experience as novice, however between a combination of Boy Scouts as a kid, 20 years in the Army, and a lifetime of enjoying everything that the great outdoors has to offer in a wide variety of environments I would classify my overall knowledge and skill as experienced.

I've got a wonderful family of a patient wife and two kids (son, 14 and a daughter, 10). My kids absolutely enjoy being outdoors with me so I am excited to include them in these adventures.

Currently I'm in the Central Texas area and I'm looking forward to linking up with fellow outdoor enthusiasts. Eventually I am planning to return back home to East Tennessee.

Hello everyone!
I'm Ryan, I'm stationed in North Carolina and have been an outdoorsman all my life.
I'm new to the world of overlanding but I guess if you count military experience, I've been an over overlander for quite some time.
My rig is a 2001 Discovery with 250000 miles. I'm beginning to start upgrading it with cool toys but have been successful without anything this far.
I look forward to learning all I can about this amazing hobby.
