Hi my name is John
Location: South East England (West Sussex)
Rig: I have a 98 Ex MOD 110 Wolf XD Defender (FFR) and 08 Range Rover Sport but it is the Defender that I'm doing up for Overlanding.

I'm very new to overlanding and at the moment just getting my Defender ready. As you can imagine, being ex MOD, it's really basic so needs a fair amount of attention but it is a very solid platform to work with.

I'm already into wild camping and bush craft and I hunt too.

Good evening!

I have been partaking in the overlanding idea for a few years, but never knew a name for it recently. Just became a member, and would like to connect to anyone in the area or with a similar rig.

Finally decided to join after reading many articles through random online searches. Always great information and everyone always seems very helpful.

Jason B.
Eastern Shore, MD

I currently drive a 2012 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner, JBA UCAs, Maxtrac Spindles, Dirt Logic 2.5 front coilover and 2.25 rear shock with bypass and custom built leaf pack on 35s. 6inch front and rear. Recovery gear. Plan on getting an OSV pass.

I previously owned a 2006 grandcherokee that I took on the beach as well.

The Tacoma was too good of a deal to pass up and will last a lifetime. Plan to enjoy it and push it as much as possible for a RWD.

I currently am a Master Tech for Toyota and love seeing all the customers different rigs coming in.

Look forward to digging through the vast amount of knowledge on the forum.

View attachment 193310Hi folks, I'm just getting started on a 2018 Outlander PHEV for camping and softroading in addition to being a daily in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate NY. I'd love ideas about places in the NE to take my 2 teens for off-grid camping and exploring.

Hello Travis (@That_Texicon) welcome from Oklahoma.
There was/is a meet up in Houston, US Southwest - Taco Tuesday Truck Talk | OVERLAND BOUND COMMUNITY

 

[Prerunner1982]

Hello Dan and Angie (@Dangela ) welcome from Oklahoma.
Prior to the pandemic we had a couple of meet ups in AZ, unfortunately things got derailed. Hopefully a meet up will get going again so keep an eye out for that in the meet ups section that Kent linked to.

Hello, I’m Travis from Houston Texas and I have a 2018 Jeep Wrangler jku rubicon. Pretty excited about starting this new adventure in the world of overlanding and getting away from just strictly mud. Me and my girlfriend just bought our first tent and looking to start planning a lot of trips.

Hello Travis, welcome to the OB community.

 

[freak4life]

Hello!

I need adventure--not optional. I also want to have experiences with my 2 kids before they leave the house and interject a little physical adversity into their lives. I'm also interested in getting to know people and learn from them!

I have a 2018 Land Cruiser. I am hoping it is my terminal vehicle that can take me to far away destinations.

Hello Erik, welcome to the OB community, looks like you have a very capable vehicle.

Wow! Great set up guys. I’m new to the scene. My name is Jesse from Houston tx. I have a 02 Toyota 4Runner 2wd that fell into my lap about 2 months ago.

Here the new update.
Currently I flushed coolant, oil change, added some steering fluid and renewed the tags. Lol.
The real additions are.
New tires. ( kumho A/T tires )
Painted the oem wheels ( plasti dipped )
Yup that’s it.

Next week
Running board delete
Roof rack
New suspension
Bed liner the whole rig
Diy water containment with spigot
I think that’s it for one week.

And hopefully by May I can take a small trip somewhere close to home with my son and make some memories.
Here are some pictures of the rig. Will take new pics once she’s bed lined and racked up.

Hello from Spokane, WA. I'm glad I searched for overloading last night and found you good folks. I've been Jeep camping largely on my own for the last couple years, occasionally taking along my wife (she's slowly embracing the outdoors, yippee!) or a friend. While I really do like the solitude out there on my own, it would be nice to go overloading with some like-minded people now and again. This site looks amazing, and I'm looking forward to learning more and maybe getting out on some trips with some of you.
