Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Matthew Edwards]

Hi All,

Finally getting around to my first post.

Looking to do more camping with my wife and dog. So far, we've done some off-roading and camping primarily in Southern California (Joshua Tree, Mojave). Gone to Overland EXPO a couple times.

Experience: Not much, maybe 2 to 3 trips with some off-roading, not much drive-camp-drive trips.

Location:
San Jose, CA

Rig:
2018 4Runner TRD OR (Wifey's Daily)

Modifications:
TRD Pro Suspension
Nitto Ridge Grapplers
Goose Gear Deck Plates
C4 Fab Rock Sliders
Kitchen/Chuck Box by TrailKitchens
Gobi Stealth Rack

This is my first, though I intend to not make it my last.

Hi everyone. New member Steve here from the wilds of Oregon. I've been watching Overland Bound on You Tube for several years now and decided it was past time to join in.
I drive a 2016 4Runner as my daily driver and adventure rig. slight mods with spacer lift front, OME springs and Eibach shocks rear, full RCI Offroad skids and rock sliders.
Next will be SSO front bumper and a winch along with some proper front suspension.

Hi Steve, welcome to the OB community.

Just joined Overland Bound and very excited to do so!!!!!

We are Jahaziel + Lauren from South Texas. Pharr, Texas to be exact, which is right on the border across from Mexico. Rig is a 2018 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon JL. Have no experience overlanding, except for the countless hours watching YouTube videos. However, this year we will start modifying our Jeep and traveling as well with all the help and suggestions we can get from the Overland Bound family.

[Massenkd]

Hello all. My name is Kyle, I’m Active Duty Air Force and currently live in Colorado Springs. I’m fairly new to the overlanding scene. A couple years ago I built an off road squaredrop camper, mainly for hunting but looking to start expanding my explorations. I tow it with my 2017 Chevy Silverado that has a 3” suspension lift and 33’s. I can’t sit still so I’m always tweaking things so more to come.

[ColoradoRover]

Hey all!! Name is Jordan, and glad to be here. I’m new to overlanding and excited to get out and explore this great country.

As you can guess, I’m in Colorado.

In 2018 I acquired a 2008 Land Rover LR3 HSE with the Lux package and looks like the HD package. I’ve done some things to it but a lot more to come.

- 2.5” Proud Rhino Lift Rods
- 265/65R18 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs
- Tactical Rover Rock Sliders
- Front Runner Slimline II Roof Rack with: ladder, bottle opener, tire roof mount



About to upgrade the towing setup and putting the hitch in the frame; all because I just purchased a 2020 Crux Expedition Trailers 1610.
