Hello everyone

My name is Fernando and i live in southern california more precisely in the southbay area. I have been following overland bound for quite some time now. Currently we do not have an overland rig but we have been searching for a few months now hoping that soon we'll find it. My fiance and i have a little one and for the longest have been wanting to start being more active outdoors going out and adventuring with our little family as i remember when I was a young boy when my father would take us out camping and long road trips, many memories were created and i believe helped shaped me into the person i am today so I would love my son to be able to have the same experiences as i did as a child. Thank you and i look forward to meeting ya'll.

Hello Fernando, welcome to the OB commuity.

Current Vehicle: 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro
Previous Vehicle: Toyota Tacoma, 2 Toyota FJs prior to that
Overland Experience: Experienced
Why Overlanding?: I think I have been roaming around in 4x4s since about 1971 when my dad threw me in the back of our 1967 Bronco and took me to northern MI to roam around and camp. I haven't stopped roaming since. Some of the best memories of my life are from these rambling experiences in the wilderness. Now I try to help as many folks get out there as I can.

Hello! I'm a retired HS Social Studies teacher (June 2019) who sold everything to live on a 35' sailboat and a VW Westfalia. After too many mechanical failures, I'm selling the VW and transitioned to this 03 Tacoma with a slide in pop up camper. Before Covid the plan was to drive to Ushuaia and taking breaks on the boat. Now? Who knows!
I also have a 98 KLR 650 which has taken me to Alaska, Guatemala, Europe. Finally, just bought a Moto Guzzi V85TT to ride around the US. #nomadlife

Hello everyone. Just signed up and wanted to introduce myself. I live in las Vegas. I own a 2017 VW Alltrack and a 2004 Land Rover Discovery. Lately the VW has been seeing more offroad duty than the Rover. Like most land rovers, I have some issues I am slowly resolving, nothing serious, just expensive. Been offroading for a while but I don't do anything too crazy, mainly stick to service roads. But anywho, I am looking forward to getting to know all of y'all. :)

Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm Tim and live in Nashville, TN. I drive a 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 with a few minor aftermarket mods. I also have a 1975 FJ 40 with a SOA lift and a few other mods. I would consider myself a competent overlander. My outdoor roots started with backpacking and hunting with camping mixed in with all of it. I am looking forward to meeting new folks and getting out of the city more frequently.

Pete here, from northern Vermont. I’ve traveled extensively with my dog in his custom sidecar, and recently added a 2010 Xterra to let us get a bit further away...and to explore parts of the country while home is still locked in snow and ice. Though we have only one paved road in town and the dirt roads turn to muck in mud season, this is my first 4WD purchased with the intention of actually off-roading.

I hope to learn a lot

Hey everyone, my name is Andres, originally from Colombia but moved to New York about 8 years ago. I'm pretty new to Overlanding but I love exploring the outdoors. I've done a lot of camping and backpacking in the past but since I've always been interested in Overlanding I pulled the trigger and decided to buy the Jeep Gladiator about a year ago began building it, since then have done a couple trips can't wait to learn more.

Welcome to Overland Bound Andres.
Great looking setup.

Hi there,

Getting back into off roading and overlanding after a 4-5 year break. Sold my 1997 LC that was fully built and supercharged. Biggest regret I have. Now looking at building my 2013 Tundra for light overlanding just did bumpers, suspension, tires, sliders, armor and decked drawers.
Also, looking at get a fully built FJ/4runner or Taco for the more extreme with all the bells and whisles.
Looking to join some trips soon!
Currently in the Bay area CA until I can exit this falied State:)
Have done many trips before and a gear junkie.

Hi All,
I'm Jason, new to the forum and to overlanding. I live in Los Angeles (West LA area) and work in the entertainment industry and am also a part time photographer. My rig is a 2015 Subaru Outback. Been slowly putting more work into it over the years but it's been great for getting me out on adventures to photograph, go climbing, camping, fly fishing, and snowboarding, just love getting out there. Look forward to being part of the community.
