Hi everyone! I'm up in WA state. I have a stock 2018 Rubicon Recon JKU. I'm fairly new to overlanding but did sections 3 thru 6 of the WABDR last summer in a stock Sahara...which lead to a trade in for the Rubi and an insatiable desire for more!

Mostly frequenting SoCal deserts and the 395 corridor as of late but would like to check out northern CA in the coming months as the weather warms up. Let’s do some cool shit!

Hi, I’m Caleb, new to overlanding but not new to the outdoors.
Location: Denver NC (not near as exciting as CO)
Rig: 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off-Road, 2 inch lift
Experience: I’ve been hitting the trails every other weekend since November 2020. My RRT is a game changer.

I’m from Ohio, my rig Sleipnir is a 2009 Jeep Wrangler JK 2 door. I have ridden Ophir Pass and the Table Mesa Trail most recently but planning to run plenty more very soon. I would love to meet up with other members and explore, my son would also love to join us, he’s only 2 but already obsessed.

Hey everyone! I guess I'm the new guy.
My name is Zac. I'm originally from the central coast of CA (Nipomo to be exact) but moved to Walla Walla, WA about 4 years ago and purchased a house up here.
I grew up camping and wheeling with my dad and his '69 Bronco, so I'm no stranger to the outdoors/wheeling.
I've had many 4wd rigs, but currently I have a 2000 WJ. It's currently on a 4" lift and 35's.
I'm glad to be here and to learn!

Hello Zac, Welcome to Overland Bound.
I am the Northwest Director. @PNW EXPLR 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.

Hello. I'm Steve, and I've recently moved to the Prescott, AZ area, and I look forward to doing some adventuring. A few weeks ago I bought a 2000 Mercedes-Benz ML430. My wife says it looks like a mini-van, so I'll be fixing that soon. Years ago, I had an XJ that I had fun building and exploring the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, but it's been a while.

Hello Simon, welcome to the OB community, you should delete your actual address, not a good idea to have that out there.

Hi Everyone! Long history of camping with Scouts as a kid and adult. I have a stock 2018 4Runner and very little off-road experience. I’m hoping to get advice from those who know and start replacing parts in the near future.....
