Welcome to Overland Bound BradHi, I'm Brad. I'm in Delaware.
I've been an off-road enthusiast for as long as I've known how to push three pedals, but never given much thought to overlanding until a few years ago. I've had a bunch of Wranglers in my days, a few four wheel drive trucks, an Xterra Pro-4X, and currently a 2014 Outback. The X and the Outback have really fueled my desire to get out and explore, not just get dirty for dirty's sake. I've decided to start planning a multi-day trek through parts of the MABDR with my two boys and the smaller of our two dogs. As part of this planning, I figured it was high time to start participating in this forum rather than just having a username.
Upgrades to the wagon include:
Stock sized Falken Wildpeak ATs
Banana button ( a la Mario Kart) for defending against tailgaters
Roof Rack
Things I'd like:
More functional interior mods, including storage solutions
Quality navigation system
Maybe some horsepower-adding stickers
Cheers!

Welcome to Overland BoundHello,
We have been looking for new things to do as a family and overlanding sounds like an awesome way for the family to get away and enjoy the great outdoors. For now we are just starting with the basic stuff and hope to learn more as we start making trips. I hope this site will help me find awesome places to go, meet new people, and serve as a guide for me when I have a question. For now we will be making our trips in the wife’s 4X4 Suburban. If it’s something we really enjoy we will look at buying a better off-road vehicle in the future. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
I almost got forgot to add my location. I am located in Conroe, Texas.

Welcome to Overland BoundHowdy,
I've lurked here and off and on for a couple of years, but recently decided to go ahead and join up. I'm located on the Eastern Shore of VA, but am originally from NE Florida (Duuuuuval).
My current rig is a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee (known affectionately as the JEEPASAUR):
I've been off-roading/exploring for 15+ years, almost exclusively in the Southeast. My game plan is a new vehicle in the next year, and hopefully start heading out west. As much as I love the ol' girl, I don't think she has a cross-country trip in her at this point.
- 4.7L H.O. V8
- 4" IRO Adjustable Short Arms w' 4" Springs and Bilstein 5125s
- 242HD/Selec-Trac transfer case swap
- Dana 30 up front, Dana 44a in the rear. Both w/ factory Vari-Lok diffs.
- General Grabber X3s in 265/70/17
- 3" Catback w/ Flowmaster series 70 muffler (original exhaust fell apart from trail damage)
I recently started filming some of my offroad shenanigans and putting it on Youtube. It's nothing special, but check it out if you have a minute: JEEPASAUR on Youtube

Welcome to Overland BoundHi Everyone!
New member here in the SoCal area and new to overlanding. Hoping to learn from the more experienced overlanders and off-roaders here. Very excited to start!
This is my rig! Its a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad 4x4. I have had it since April, 2019 and have already put 25k miles on it. I am always making small updates to my vehicle and equipment and would love your input on that. So far I have added the following:
1. Better wheels and tires - Falken Wildpeaks on Method rims
2. Snugtop Campershell to secure and weatherize the bed
3. Electrical Upgrades like SwitchPros and additional outlets
4. Installed a CB for comms
5. Some cockpit mounts and upgrades
6. Upgraded headlight and fog lights
7. Added an air compressor
I have a 9-5 office job but I love the outdoors and photography. To that I am also adding overlanding and camping. I hope to one day explore all 50 states and most of the National Parks in the country. I think overlanding is the best way to do it! I hope to meet you on a trail some time soon!
Thank you!

Welcome To Overland BoundHi Folks,
Vince here. 2005 Tacoma DCLB. Had it for 4 years, so far have added only suspension & tires. Just had it painted, starting to order overlanding gear starting with sliders. Live in Georgia, hoping to move somewhere in UT/CO/WY in a year or so. No overlanding experience, just lots of annual backpacking in Montana & Wyoming...ready to start exploring with my truck also!View attachment 179193

Hi everyone. New member here from Alabama.New Members,
Welcome to the Overland Bound community! Please take a few moments to introduce yourself so we can get to know you!
A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:
1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)
We're glad you've found us and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!
In addition to getting to know you, here are the guideline sent to all Moderators of the forums. It's a natural reflection of our community, and what Overland Bound is all about:
From @administrator
- Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else.
- We will not further define "overlanding".
- "Capable" depends on the requirements of the trip, and we take that very seriously.
- You are an Overlander: Overlanding is for everyone who has exploration and adventure in their heart, or, who need to be reinvigorated by connecting with nature. Nature is unforgiving. You must rise to a certain level of personal awareness to survive. Sound right? Overlanding is for you.
- Encourage uncomplicated ventures into the great outdoors. Don't over pack.
- Be prepared, and understand basic requirements. Question folks, to be sure they are aware of what is required. Don't assume.
- Share without reservation, trip locations, and information.
- It doesn't matter what you drive: The only requirement of an Overlander is that the vehicle serves the job required, safely.
- We do not care about make or model.
- We do not engage in "this is better than that" competitions.
- We DO give advice about how to make your vehicle ready for what you need. Share knowledge.
- Humility.
- We respect, fear, and protect nature.
- "I don't know" is a great answer.
- We don’t brag about exploits.
- We seek answers from the community when we don’t know.
- We engage in the very smallest of interactions.
