Hello everyone!

My name is John K., and I just joined up! My family and I were able to snag a new jeep gladiator about a month ago, and the overland build has started to (slowly) take shape. We're in Pasadena, Ca., and are really looking forward to overlanding up the 395 corridor as well as Nevada, Utah, Arizona....and well, really anywhere we can get away to!
I'm a welder/fabricator by trade, so I plan on building most of my own parts and pieces for the gladiator. I'll be sure to post on these projects as they start up!

I want to thank this community for, in the first place, existing. And secondly for helping to make this type of adventuring more accessible.

Best,
John K.

My current rig is a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO. Located here in South Georgia. I'm a complete novice to overlanding but have always enjoyed the outdoors and the idea of being able to enjoy it from my own vehicle. Just recently started to do mods and am open to any and all tips. Thank you for welcoming me into your family!

Hey everyone! Jeff and Andrea here. We are currently in Oklahoma, but we are planning and building for our journey to Ushuaia. We love the overlanding lifestyle, even though now it is a part-time love affair it will, in 5 years or so be full-time. We believe that a community of like minded persons brings about a more enjoyable experience, this is why we chose to become a member of Overland Bound. Our vehicle is a 2019 TRD Off-road 4Runner. I'm a firm believer in trying to do everything ourselves. Below.is a picture of Blue Belle in the Ozark National Forest. Cheers everyone!

Matt Lew here. I think I did an intro when I first joined the forums last year, but I have not been particularly active as I was distracted with other things in my life most of last year.
I just got a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road with ARE Overlander bed cap a couple days ago to replace my old 2000 Ford Ranger. Sorry I do not have pics of the New Taco yet. I will make a point of posting them once I have a chance to take them. I do have a number of plans for DIY projects that I will be working on to improve the truck over the next few years as I am able. I intend to be starting up more than a few threads following various projects. At present the Tacoma is far too stock (those tires have NO traction in mud) I would call it "Mall Rated" but it is not even dressed up enough to look "cool" at the moment. :)

Here goes...
My name is Tony, and I am very new to “Overlanding” but not new to the outdoors at all. I am a Colorado Native and have been 4wheeling and camping since I was 14 with my parents, so maybe I just did not know I was overlanding. I Have a 04 F350 Super Duty with rooftop tent, and trailer a 05 Jeep TJ sometimes, or just take the Jeep on adventures others... just depends! I hope to share my adventures and experiences I have had and will have with others!
Hello Anthony, welcome to the OB community. Glad to have another full size rig as part of the group.

Hi Everyone!
I’m a new member... trying to figure out this forum website... hopefully, I’m starting in the right place.
Location: Visalia, California
Experience: Novice..absolutely no experience in Overlanding
Why Overlanding : I enjoy the outdoors, hiking, road trips and spontaneous adventures. I wanted to learn more about overlanding ... so I just thought I’d start here since you have to start somewhere . Hoping to meet others to explore with.
Hello Yvette, welcome to the OB community. You should have not problem meeting others as part of OB.
