Hello everyone.
Been looking at getting into the overland camping experience for a few years now.
Currently own a 2016 Ram Rebel.
We will see if I keep this truck. I will be living Germany for the next 4 years. And may look at getting a new truck when I return stateside. Not sure if there is a big enough overlanding crowd over there to warrant building and investing in my current rig while over there.

Hello Matthew, welcome to the OB family and thank you for your service.

Hello all. My name is Michael. I bought a 2017 Subaru Outback last year and have been watching a lot of overlanding YouTube videos as I have never done any off-roading. For now my car is stock but will be making mods next summer if all goes well. Already have my parts list made. Looking forward to heading out into nature for some fun.
Hello Michael, welcome to the OB family.

First post here. I plan to order a new Gladiator as soon as the divorce is final. (Don't ask unless you want to hear the tawdry details.) I'll be a few months building it to anything overlanding worthy, as I am also looking to buy land and build a barndominium East of DFW. I drive a company vehicle as my DD, so my Gladiator will be lightly used and I can not worry about being DD practical. I used to have a Jeep and miss it. I don't have the desire to get into rock crawling for crawling's sake. I like camping so I'm hoping this will be a good fit.

Hope to meet some of you soon,

Donald

Heya,

Recent subscriber to Overland Bound, OB#29081. I'm based out of North Decatur, Georgia. I've started building out a new to me 2013 Nissan Pathfinder. All that's been added at the moment are some new Falken Wildpeak rubber, hitch mount Body Armor skid plate/recovery point, a pair of 3 color led low beam bulbs, and a handheld HAM/CB radio system. Planning on building a unistrut safari rack for it, trimming the bumper, installing a set of Dobinsons Lift Springs for a little more ground clearance, and fabricating anything else I'd need such as underbody protection, full size spare carrier, etc. Newer to overlanding but have done a good amount of camping, backpacking, and cross-country driving. Looking forward to learning from the rest of the members!
