Hello all! Brand new member today after hearing about this site/group at work.

Location: Central Valley, CA
Rig: 2004 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (LJ) - but only for 1 more week! Sold to a family member. Jeep Gladiator on order.
Overlanding Experience: Going with Novice. Did a lot of camping, etc while growing up in the Black Hills of South Dakota (hence my forum name), as well as a lot of "overlanding" family trips when I was younger. My dad, the pilot, drove everywhere! Now that I have 2 young sons, I want to take them out camping and overlanding as much as possible. There is too much natural beauty to see and experience to stay cooped up at home.

Thanks!
Welcome to Overland Bound

Why Overlanding?: My family and I have always been an outdoor type of people and love traveling, camping, and exploring new places. I am an automotive enthusiast and enjoy modifying vehicles, whether it be 4 wheels, 2 wheels, racing, or offroading. Overlanding is a great combination of those two passions and I've been hooked ever since.

Good morning! Just joined yesterday!
I'm from Santa Clara, CA.
I've got an 06 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. Got some experience off road, but always looking for more. Love camping and offroading with the dog. I've done some mods to the truck, bigger tires, small lift, better shocks. I'm currently welding up a rack for the bed to serve as mount points and an awning.

Hey everyone and thanks for the welcome!
1) Warrenton, Virginia
2) 2017 JEEP JKUR
3) Been driving Jeeps and Yotas and camping for nearly 20 years. Took a sabbatical when my son was born (...a decade ago) and am back! I intend on building out my newest rig to do a cross country National Parks tour. Everything in between will be "practice".

Anyone in my area hit me up. I'd like to do a meet up and really invest in this. Oh and I also fly fish just in case anyone was wondering...

Hi All! I finally pulled the trigger on getting my OB membership! I bought my 1992 Toyota Land Cruiser nearly 5 years ago to be my hunting/fishing/family adventure vehicle, and it's been a work in progress ever since. This was two years ago from our first family camping trip as a family of 5. We've gone on many more since then, but not many great pics of the rig.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Charles, and i'm new to Overland Bound. I was fortunate to buy a 2014 4Runner trail, with a couple of mods to get me started. I look forward to being part of the community, exploring more of the outdoors and getting to meet you all. Pic below is from my 20hr drive back home from picking her up. Long drive, but i found what i wanted. I live in Loveland, CO so let me know if any of you are in the near area.IMG_20200613_205336.jpg

Hey Guys,

My name is Jacob from Mesa, AZ. I've been slowly learning more and more about overlanding and I'm finally going to be working a lot more on my rig. I have a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500. I used to have a camper shell but to accommodate for more storage, I'm going to be ordering an RTT from Roam Adventure. I've got plenty of mods on my list, and I'm hoping to share and learn from everyone here.
