Hello all, new here to the Overland Bound group. My name is Anthony and I'm in El Paso, Texas. I'm just getting into the overlanding thing, but have been four wheeling the southwest desert for a long time. I currently drive a 2015 Silverado 2500HD. It has a leveling kit and larger tires on the stock rims, but not much else at this point. I look forward to many future upgrades.

Hi there! We’re the Wyatt Family and are new members (JUST ordered our kit yesterday). Super excited to be here. We’re a family of five living in Reno, NV. We love adventure, and as a homeschool family (for the past 7 years), we have the flexibility to just go when we want. We’re overland newbies, but have been avid campers/hikers/outdoorsy people for decades. We have a 2007 Ford Explorer and recently acquired a 2012 Jeep Wrangler. Super happy to be here!

Hi all,

Name's Henry
Don't have a noteworthy rig yet. I road trip in rentals or my 2014 Camry:sweatsmile:. I am Super interested in replacing it with a Honda Ridgeline (maybe this year).
Outside of driving LMTVs and setting up camp with the Army Reserves, I'm definitely a novice with 0 off-roading experience and a little bit of camping experience.

I enjoy chilling out in nature, road tripping and like learning new skills, especially camping, hunting and first aid.

Looking forward to updating you all with my actual rig soon enough.

Greetings All,

We've been watching the Overland Bound YouTube videos as we've been researching overlanding. Decided to join and buy a Gazelle tent for our first foray into camping. Kids are grown so time to get into the adventure mix. Going slow as we figure out what we need. Currently driving a stock 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD OffRoad. Bought it for daily driving and adventure. Indiana isn't exactly overlanding friendly, but there's a few state parks to get started on.

Cheers!

Frank

Hello,

I'm very new to overlanding. Based in the Chicago area.

Plan on building out my 2020 Silverado Trail Boss to become a Trail Beast. Starting with a 4" lift and 35" tires within the next few months.

I appreciate any advice that anyone wants to share. I look forward to being part of this community.

Thanks,
Arty
