Hello from Santa Cruz, CA. My wife and I recently purchased a 2001 Ford Excursion diesel to use as our build platform. We are experienced campers and have been getting into overlanding the past few years. Currently we use a 2011 Outback with mods for off road but needed something bigger so we got the Excursion. A trip to Moab last year made us realize we want to do longer overland trips and get way out there.

We are looking forward to some meet ups, future adventures and building the rig to get us where we want to go.

Hey y’all I’m Blake. I’m a Novice at overlanding but I’m an off-road enthusiast. I currently have a 17 Ford F-350 DRW but also looking for a smaller truck for eventually overlanding and to drive to work (which is sometimes.. well a lot of time off road through mud and rock). I pipeline for a living so the 350 will still be pulling the 5th wheel as I practically live on the road. Therfore I’m all over the states. My avatar is my Superduty.

Hello everyone! My name is VJ(Virgil). im from Tucson AZ. I have a 1994 Jeep Cherokee that i am building up into our family's overland/camp rig. it has a 4" lift and 31" tires. need to install roofrack and supplies and go hit some back country trails! I'm not new to 4x4'ing but it was mostly rock crawling. So it will be new to me to not thrash on my vehicle. Cant wait to meet some of you and maybe see you on the trails!

Hi everyone! I’m Mike and I’m excited to have the opportunity to be a part of this community. I drive a 2015 canyon right now but I will be getting another ride to set up for my overland adventures so I’m not using my daily driver. I’m new to all this but I’m excited to explore and learn some new things. Been camping and exploring most of my life but never with my vehicle.

Hi, I’m Greg from S.W. Idaho. Currently have a 1998 4Runner, and looking to buy a new ‘19 or ‘20 very soon.

I’ve been backpacking since I was a kid, and bike packing for the past few years, And my rig has been mostly a way to get me to places I wanted start my adventures at, so I’m experienced in the backcountry. But my knee is making it harder to go places under my own power and I cannot imagine not being out in the wild. I’ve been on a few overlanding adventures, with the longest going from Idaho to Panamint Springs CA, but still consider myself a novice when it comes to overlanding.
Loving the YouTube channel and getting great ideas for building up the 4Runner, and being better prepared for adventure and emergencies. Can’t wait to get into the forums here as well, and hopefully meeting up with locals.

Hi all!

I’m definitely a newcomer to the overlanding community. Bought my 2019 Tacoma TRD Sport about a year ago and I didn’t even know what the term overlanding meant, but I knew in my heart that is how I wanted to build my truck. To be prepared for adventure.

Springfield, MO is my hometown, but I truly look forward to getting out west to explore very soon and that is one of the main reasons I’m here. Looking forward to being a pet of the community! Thx

As @Kent R said, I’m your regional director. You have two monthly meetups in the Treasure Valley. The first is a conference call which will turn into a picnic/trail ride once the weather changes.

Cancelled - Southern Idaho / Treasure Valley - Monthly Conference Call (2nd Sunday @8:30PM MST)

During these COVID-19 months, lets get together via a conference call and chat about our plans for year. Once this pandemic is in the past for us, I look forward to adding monthly meet-n-greets for us to get together, socialize, share out experience, and train for the future. Sunday Night...

www.overlandbound.com

And then Beers and Gears is a monthly meetup where members discuss their rigs, trips, and plan campouts and trail rides.

Hey all, new to this site! Been off-roading for many years.
currently have a 2012 Nissan Xterra modded.Tepui RTT.
live in NW Montana USA. Massive opportunity for overland travels.
second vehicle ( Momma rig) is a Lexus GX 470. Living in the mountains of Montana requires serious 4x4 vehicles.
have done tons of RV camping, about every kind you can think of. Bought the RTT last summer and had a couple great overland trips. Looking now at perhaps going with a Overland trailer. Mostly because we take 3 dogs everywhere we go and need a bit more room. Life is beautiful in Montana!!

Hello, I am a novice to overlanding. Planning to get a 2020 ranger 4wd in the next couple of months. My location is San Diego California. Kids are grown and I am close to retirement so I will have more time to explore America. Hope to learn more about overlanding from the this community.
