Hey.
I’m a long time lurker, first time poster.
I have a 2020 Gladiator JTR.
I’m based in the Bay Area.

The garage is filled with parts. Just waiting on back ordered parts from fifteen52 and super pacific before installing suspension and all the other bits.

I spend my free time looking at trail maps, trying to find trails that are lesser traveled.

Experience: Late-bloomer 4-wheeler, got my first 4wd ten years ago, age 56.
Currently in the process of replacing it with something bigger, Sprinter 4x4 van.

Greetings from Barry

Welcome to Overland Bound
Could you edit your profile to have a city on it rather than the Bay Area. This helps members get invites out to you.
Don't hesitate to message your Regional Director @Narbob if you have any questions.
For local information about trips and meet-ups contact your NorCal Member Representative; Bay Area @PapaDave
Check the forum calendar and Meet-Up page for events, and the Trip Planning page for trips being planned by members. These pages can be filtered by region.

Hello All. My name is Ted. I'm an Eagle Scout that grew up tent camping. Have camped with my Son for the last 11 years on his way to Eagle a year ago. We are moving on to what's next. The Missus loves the woods but doensn't dig sleeping on the ground.
Just bought an Opus OP4 to pull behind our Jeep. Looking forward to new adventures with the whole family.

Hello, I'm Shae!
Longtime YouTube lurker who has finally decided to take the plunge.
I grew up a girl scout and tent camped from my childhood through college. Unfortunately, I got caught up in my career after college and haven't connected with nature much since.
I'm in the Colorado Springs area and I'm new to overlanding, but can't wait to hit the trails this summer!

Hi all, I’m new to this lifestyle so new in fact I’ve not taken a trip yet as I’m waiting for my roof tent to arrive.

I’m based in the U.K. & going to start exploring the place where I live first so I can get a feel for the lifestyle & what I might need etc so I can test my kit out. I’ve done off road driving many times but not for some years so I feel this is the a way to get back out in nature but to a whole new level for a new adventure.

So I have my vehicle, I have my basic kit & I have my sense of adventure & I can’t wait to get out & about!

Best regards

Paul
