Greetings everyone. Can't wait to start digging into the info on this board. Already learned a ton from the Overland Bound youtube channel as well as from other great producers in the community. Can't wait to get out and do some more exploring and trying to plan a cross country trip to some National Parks. Rig is 2020 4Runner ORP White. Hoping for much more to and from this truck than I did with my 2014 Trail before I got rid of it. So far just a Toytec leveling kit with BFG KO2's 285/70/17. In the works are some Baja fogs (and some other lights with no where to mount yet but thats another story). I'm in WNC and would love to link up with some folks for some learning and fire road, etc drives. I'll update with some pics soon. Cheers

Hello everyone! I’m Sam. This is my first day here. I’ve been wanting to try Overlanding for a while now, and finally started towards making that happen. I recently traded in my road worthy but not very trail worthy Dodge Durango RT for a 2020 Jeep Unlimited Rubicon Recon. I love it and I’m so excited to build it into an overlanding rig and spend some nights under the stars. I think the final deciding event for me was when we visited Cape Lookout North Carolina a couple of months ago and I realized that with the right vehicle, we could have been sleeping beside the sea, under the stars in that gorgeous location. That was it. I instantly started researching some rigs. I was going to buy a new Ford Bronco, but my impatience got me into the seat of a new Rubicon instead. And I gotta tell ya, I’m hooked!! I’m an amateur photographer (website link on my profile) and can’t wait to see the images I capture on our Overlanding adventures! Thanks for having me!

New member here! I have a 2015 Toyota 4Runner Trail build from Pennsylvania. I have a good amount of experience off-roading and have taken my stock vehicle through areas others not dare, not through overconfidence, but with belief that the 4Runner can handle more stock than most others can! Since then upgrades have been made and continue to be made as the year goes on. I look forward to learning more about everything Overland and I am happy to be here!

Here's my rig (not updated since latest installs)

Hey gang! Dan here. I’m in Seattle. Long time camper/hiker/pescador etc. I’m getting old and sleeping on the ground is no longer pleasant. I started looking into building a comfortable sleeping and storage situation for the back of my truck and naturally that lead me to overlanding and to this community. Looking forward to an adventurous future (while sleeping comfortably)

Hello everyone! New member here from North Carolina. I'm new to the over landing community but as an avid camper and hunter who wants to get out and explore new areas this seemed like a good place to meet people with similar interests. Growing up in North Carolina I have ridden my share of 4x4 trails but never really gotten too far off the beaten path. Hope to get myself and my vehicle a bit more equipped to start venturing out further!

I am in the same area. I don't get out enough but love to get out and explore when I can. You should find the Southeast subforum here and post up there.

I wish we had those Patrols here... Always watching the guys on the other side of the world running around in them. My parents had an early 90s Pathfinder which did really well, so I can only imagine the Patrols do really well.
