New to Overland Bound, I’m running a 2020 Gladiator. I’m located in the Colorado Springs, Colorado area. I have 0 experience, all I know is I love getting my Jeep dirty and my family loves camping. Looking forward to meeting other enthusiast in the area and getting all the tips possible.

Hello all!

Phil and fam here.

Elk Grove, California(Sacramento area)

Camped my whole life, mostly tame though. Some wild, some boondocking. 4 wheels and 2 wheels. New to overlanding.

Don't have my rig yet, it's still being finished in factory. 5th gen 4runner Off-road. So our real overlanding adventures are yet to start. Been packing up the wagon and going tame camping for years.

See some of you all on the trails soon!
Hello Phil, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hi there,
New member here in the Los Angeles area. Complete novice to overlanding, but after a couple trips to the desert I am obsessed and excited for the adventures to come! I just outfitted my rig (2016.5 Mazda CX-5 Grand Touring AWD)with a rooftop tent and heading to Anza Borrego this weekend to try it out. I know it's custom to name your rig... I'm kicking around 'Nate, Nate Mazda'. He's reliable, no-nonsense, and he goes with anything.
Hello Samantha, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hi from SW Washington State! Located between the mountains and the beach in an area prime for exploring, which I'm determined to do more of. I'm new to overlanding, but have been camping and exploring the outdoors all my life. My previous method of exploring was by horseback, but after being horseless for the past 2 years my soul is aching to get back out there. So, I'm starting this journey to learn new ways to do what I love with what I have. Which is my 2010 Chevy Equinox AWD. I'm just beginning the process of setting her up for adventuring. Excited to learn from this community!20200720_095434.jpg

Hello all, Canadian from Ontario looking to get into overlanding with my wife. Watched too many youtube videos that gave me the push to explore. I love driving but always ended up staying at hotels and figured i need to get off the beaten path to truly explore. Working on building this rig for future adventures. IMG_0036.JPG

Welcome to Overland Bound
Great looking Gladiator. I just purchased one but wont start the build until I get back from the Continental Divide in late August. What half rack did you use?
