Looking forward to getting out and meeting new people and learning more about Overlanding! Not able to post a pic now but will later.
Welcome again Joshua,
Nice looking F-150. Weave a ‘19 F-150 that goes on the trails with us quite a bit, when he isn’t going solo which is like all the time it seams.

Thanks trying to slowly add things. Trying to decide on what the next add should be! I was looking at the decked system and really liked it.

Hey Overland Bound! My name is Chris. I live in the Lawton, OK area. My rig is a 2016 Ford F-150 Platinum. I usually take my family camping once or twice per year, but we are very interested in getting into overlanding. I have been working on my truck over the past couple of years, and my son just got a 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Would love to meet up with some members and learn as much as we can. Looking forward to it. Thanks!
Welcome from Tulsa Chris!

Rig: 2001 Land Cruiser
Experience: Minimal

In 1993, my wife and I (Sarah & Dan) drove our 1978 FJ55 to Belize. We lived there for over a year before coming back to the US and moving on to a different phase of life. I've wanted another Land Cruiser since then, but it just never seemed practical. Luckily, we recently had the opportunity to buy Wilbur from these nice folks: Overland Travel Couple - We Are Out Of The Office

While we've spent a lot of time traveling in our camper van over the past five years, I'm looking forward to getting to more remote spots in Wilbur, and all the learning that goes along with those new challenges. I've already done an easy solo trip through the Washington Cascades, and have an October trip lined up with a buddy for the Steens and the Alvord Desert.

Rig: 2019 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited which is basically stock for the moment.
Experience: I'm completely brand new to off-roading, overlanding and Jeep ownership. Haven't even been camping in probably 10 years so like a lot of people probably expressing interest this year due to our circumstances.

I'm ready to absorb as much knowledge an experience I can. My hope is by next spring I will be set up to start getting away for weekend trips and go from there

Hi, my name is Matt and I'm in South Santa Cruz County CA. I have a 2016 Ford F150 4WD. I am a novice to overlanding but excited to start the adventure with my GF. Just started outfitting my truck with basics. Pics to follow.

Greeting! I'm Brick. Just moved out to Denver (via California via northern New York) with my wife and excited to explore the backcountry. Avid hiker / camper / backpacker but looking to expand horizons with overlanding. I have a 2001 4Runner Limited with 180K miles and a new transmission. Still stock but now that it's no longer my DD, I'm looking to add some capabilities.

Cheers!
