Hi, I'm J-P, new member 24600. I own a F150. Going out on a trail with a friend last fall, I realised I like to explore in a rig. My family love tent camping and nature, but as far as overlanding I'm a newbie, and I tought a community to help me get tips would be a good start

 

[M Rose]

Hi all,

I'm excited to be apart of the Overland Bound Family. My wife and I moved to Redmond, WA just about a year ago from Utah after I graduated from college. I'm currently working as a Software Engineer in the Redmond area. We are loving our time in the Pacific Northwest.
Our awesome and crazy rig is a 2016 Toyota Corolla. She's got a mean 1.8 L 4 Cylinder Engine with a robust CVT Transmission... Sorry being funny there. :) While the wife and I don't have our own sweet offroad ready overland rig at the moment, that hasn't stopped us from exploring all around Washington state. On weekends we always try to find a new place to go hiking and to get something to eat.
Our plan is to get us our own rig here in the coming months now that we have settled into our new jobs and life here in WA. I would definitely consider myself a complete novice at overlanding, though I do have a little bit of experience with light offroading.

I look forward to our future overlanding adventures together! Also looking for recommendations for my next rig!

Robert

Welcome Robert,
I am the Northwest Regional Director for Overland Bound. @ Bozeman is your closest Member Representative.

Due to “Social Distancing” and “Shelter In Place” practices during the COVID-19 Pandemic, we have temporarily postponed group meetups, trail rides, and Campouts. Instead the Northwest Member Rep Team has incorporated weekly conference calls each Sunday at 7:30 PM PST (8:30) Mountain Time). A full list with scheduling can be found at Sunday Night Regional Conference Call

As for rig... Help Do I Need A Truck is a great place to start. if you need any assistance or advice do t hesitate to contact @Gabriel Bozeman or myself... or any member representative for that matter.

Welcome once again
Stay well, stay safe

Mike Rose
NW Director

Aloha all, my partner Allaurah and I (Jasn) started an indefinite travel lifestyle this about a month ago. Stoked to join the Overland community! We have been researching and planning this for over a year. We have a 2007 Tacoma camping rig on Maui that we are selling. Our main rig is this 84 FJ60. There’s been a decent amount of work out into it and we aren’t quite done yet. It’s currently getting a 5sp and 4.11 Gears at Valley Hybrids in Stockton. We got geared up with the Bush Company Alpha Tent and XT awning from Midguard Adventures in Houston. The bumpers are coming from 4plus in Pheonix. So it’s quite an adventure traveling from place to place getting all the upgrades. We shipped our rig from Maui where we are from. Rocking the HI plates until April of next year!View attachment 153902

Love the paint scheme on your FJ60. I can't wait to see it with those new bumpers!

Hi Stephen, I'm loving your Land Cruiser build! It's so awesome. What are your next plans for it?

Hello everyone,

Location: Calgary, grew up near Jasper National Park

Rig: 2019 Ford Ranger. I am just starting to outfit.

Level: I'm a novice. I did my fair share of camping, ATVing, and 4wheeling growing up but am new to overlanding. I bought my Ranger to tow a muscle car and made the mistake of taking a 3 week camping trek through the Northwest Territories last summer and got hooked.

Hi!
New member here in AZ. Slowly working on my 06 Jeep LJ. I’ve been camping since I could remember but new-ish to overlanding.

 

[photosubieoverland]

Hey all, Antonio here.
I live in Los Angeles, CA.
Drive a 2016 Subaru Outback.
My overland experience is moderate. I'm a landscape photographer so I use the outback for camping and trails. Not a rock crawler by any means, but reliable and capable.

Hello,
My name is Corey and I drive a 2018 Silverado. Besides some additional storage and the gear within, my truck is stock. As an Eagle scout, I'm not a stranger to the outdoors, but I am new to overlanding and I'm looking forward to many adventures to come.View attachment 153985

[Vahokie9539]

Sorry I am completely new to posting and hit the enter button way to soon so try this again. My name is Scott and we are in Mechanicsville, Va and my rig is a 1979 Jeep J20 that I have been working on for five years. It has taken two trucks to make one (lots of rust on the east coast). It has a 5.3 Vortec engine and a 4L60E transmission out of a late model Chevy pickup. Thanks for allowing me to be apart of the community.

 

[Maxmino]

Hello everyone!
New to overlanding, we are avid hikers, but since I now have a 1 year old I think overlanding is the best way to go around and enjoy nature for my small family. I am in the military, currently overseas, we will be relocating to Tennessee in October. My rig is still en-route, its going to be a 5th gen 4Runner. Thanks again and take care y’all!

Hey There,

Hoping to get some more insight on great overlanding groups and adventures from this form. I've been a CJ Jeep owner for most of my driving life. I just picked up a 2020 4 runner XP series and started with my mods. I am an avid outdoors man and a eagle scout, so I am looking to explore this great planet. looking to find some people and trails down here is florida and Ga to start off with.

Thanks for the great form
James
