Howdy. wife and I have 2020 Jeep Gladiator w/RTT. Haven't done much with it other than sleeping in hospital parking lot for months. It's a long slightly tragic story. Anyhow, this year we plan on using to surprise, overland with. We are both proven campers. Not sleeping on the ground will be a change. As we outfit the truck with stuff that better suits our needs (not a family of 5). We aim to have fun.
Welcome to Overland Bound
The Gladiator should treat you well, it's a great platform.

I am very proud to be a part of this group, I have been wanting to become a member for a while and I finally pulled the trigger. Running a 2002 Sequoia now...previous GCO which we had a lotta good times in but I am glad to be rid of. I love this Toyota.

Hello everybody,

Location: Portland, OR
Rig: 2005 F150
Experience: Novice, I've spent my fair share of time in the woods, on dunes and other adventures, but this is the first time I have looked into overlanding.

This looks like a lot of fun, and an amazing way to discover parts of the country that most would never see. A trip to Moab a couple years ago sparked a serious interest in exploring off road for me, and I can't wait to finish the work on my truck so I can get out there leave the city in my rearview for a bit.
 
Hello , Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. @jcgraves3 is your closest member representative.
To help navigate through the forums, here are some links that can be filtered by “Region” prefix. We are in the Overland Bound North America US Northwest Region (US Northwest for short).
Overland Bound Meetups- is where all member generated rally points are posted in forum format for discussion of Rally Point and other types of Meetups. A meetup can be as simple as a group getting together for coffee, a trail ride, or a full in expedition with other Overland Bound Members.
Overland Bound Trip Planning- is a great place to talk about planning a trip wether by your self or as a group.
Overland Bound Routs: Downloadable- is exactly what it sounds like. Search, or share your GPX files here with a description of the route and POIs.
Share your Overland Routes- is similar time the downloadable posted above, but doesn’t require you to share the actual GPX file.
Overland Bound By Region < North America < US Northwest- is where you can find regional members discussing local events, Overland News, and general topics. It’s a great recourse to mete others in the regions.
Member Maps- a great trip planning tool. It can also be used to send out messages to members near your location, or a location you plan to visit.
Rally Point- a tool used to creat Meetups or send out an SOS.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask myself or your member representative team. Again welcome and hope to see you on the trails.
Mike Rose
Northwest Director

Hello all! My name is Robert, I have been camping for my entire life, was in tiger Cubs all the way up, and have always loved nature. This year, I made the decision to custom build a 2021 Jeep Gladiator and get serious about making adventure as much a part of my life as paying taxes! Located in Southern California and looking forward to hitting the trails with many of you!

I’m Adam, my Wife is Kathy, we’re very new to anything like this and a little overwhelmed. Looking forward to fellowship and meeting new people with similar interests. The idea of a weekend escape from civilization and hitting the trails sounds very refreshing. We have a fairly base 2014 JKU but have huge dreams for it! We’re near KCMO!
