Member Introductions *NEW MEMBERS INTRODUCE YOURSELF*

[Kent R]

I'm Brandon, and recently joined the forum. My family and I like to get out and run trails, and adventure up in the mountains of Colorado.

We live just outside of Denver. I drive a 2021 Chevy Colorado ZR2. This is fourth off-road vehicle, but have had a 4Runner, LX450 80 Series Land Cruiser and a Ford Ranger. This ZR2 has been a blast so far.

I used to do quite a bit of exploring before kids, and have gotten back into it over the last couple of years. We noticed that we prefer to travel spot to spot in our vehicle instead of camping in one place. This approach seemed very similar to overloading and we are now planning some 3-4 day trips.

Look forward to learning from the members on this forum.

Hey everyone,

I’m Kez. Attached is a picture of my 2016 Jeep and my DIY trailer. Currently stationed in Southern AL; where there is pretty minimal overland opportunities.

Hi Everyone,

My name is Ryan and I am based just north in Bountiful above Salt Lake City, Utah. I drive a 2017 JKU Sahara, though I have modified it quite a bit (Pic attached.). I have limited overlanding experience. Mostly closer trails and campsites around the area. I joined because I am really interested in exploring other areas but am still learning about gps navigation and places I can get to. I know there are a ton of places in southern Utah but it is nice to figure out a few places to go that I don’t have to hit the freeway for a few hours before I can start on the trail to get to where I want to go. I am looking forward to learning a lot from you all.

Hi everyone,

I'm Steve or Ringo if you want to use my nickname.

I run a TD5 DC Defender 2003 which has seen many incarnations over the almost 15 years I've owned it.

Experience wise I've done green laning, visited Wales to sample the mountains etc, travelled to France in my Defender for battlefield trips amongst other things.

Hi Steve and welcome!

Where abouts are you based?

I'm in Kent UK

Hello Ryan, welcome to Overland Bound.
I use trailsoffroad.com for finding trails, I have found their rating is pretty accurate as far as degree of difficultty.

Thanks Rich I will take a look.

Hello folks,

My name's louis and at this point I don't have an overland vehicle I think. My wife and I spent 7 months living in our 5er, traveling around AZ, CO, UT, TX, & NM until work forced me to move back to the east. Just sold my rig and truck (picture attached) as a set and so now I am trying to figure out what to buy next so I can try to recreate the sense of freedom while still tethered to a house. I think I have decide to buy a GX 460, which would be a Prado where I come from in South Africa. We plan on doing lots of miles to get from FL to the canyon lands and I think doing that in the luxury of a GX would be great. I am hoping to find lots of knowledge about how to do a build because I haven't done that before and hopefully find some like minded people in the Tampa Bay area that could go out with me on occasions to learn a bit more about how to do overlanding correctly.

Hi. My name is Joshua. After working in public safety for most of my adult life, I was injured in the line of duty and was retired with disability. I did not know what I was missing out on. After learning about overlanding and watching all these videos in the subject, I have fallen in love with nature and the overland experience. I like to take my family out so my kids don’t miss what I missed. I have a 2012 Jeep Rubicon and I am here to help and share in whatever I can do. Thanks.

Hi y’all. My names Will, and I’ve just recently joined overland bound. Been watching on youtube for a while and finally decided to join

Location: North GA near Chattanooga TN

Rig: 2014 AM General Mobility Ventures MV-1

Experience: Very limited overlanding experience. Growing up I would go camping with my dad but being disabled tended to limit where I could go and for how long, but I’ve recently discovered overlanding (last several years) and at first didn’t think it was something I could do as I didn’t have and couldn’t get a large 4x4 vehicle but I’ve learned more and more that that shouldn’t limit adventure. Sure my vehicle is only 2 wheel drive and ways 3.5 tons but in the end it’s a great vehicle that does most of what I ask of it.

Thanks for making such a great platform. See y’all out there

Just introducing myself! From Northern New Jersey. I love the outdoors and adventure. I enjoy mountain climbing and camping. I have a lifted Jeep so Overlanding is totally appealing to me and been really enjoying all the great Youtube videos out there. I'm hoping to get out there and hoping to learn and meet some great people out here!
