Hey everybody! My name is Attila, I'm in San Gabriel Valley CA. I have a 2018 Grand Cherokee Diesel 4x4.
It's all stock except a second battery, and a fridge that I've had in my trunk for a couple of years now that came useful on a few camping trips, and a bunch of grocery trips. I have a Smittybilt RTT that we love. We even camped with it in freezing cold temperatures. All we need is a heated blanket under us, some insulation from Home Depot, and it's ready for the California "winter" camping.

Anyways, we are looking for people around SoCal to see if there are any quiet getaway spots, light Overlanding (more like weekendlanding) places.

Hello from Indiana! Our family rig is a 2019 Subaru Ascent with a CVT RTT. We will be doing some off-road modifications this winter. We have already driven across the country to the west coast multiple times. Looking forward to learning more about overlanding here!

Howdy all! Shawn here, and I am an Overlander wannabe and new to the site! I live in Southeast Tennessee and I've got a bone-stock 2012 FJ Cruiser TT I've had for about 8 years, and plan on doing some upgrades. I hope to take my first adventure soon.

Hello Byran, welcome to Overland Bound. So I am curious, did you name your Jeep in 2020?
My first thought too...LOL. and then I got worried that some unfortunate children born in 2020 have stupid parents who named them Rona. It's okay for cars, not for kids!

Welcome HRA, you might know of me over on YouTube as a lurker by the Screen Name “Overland Ham”. Jason @kc5hwb from Ham Radio 2.0 is also lurking in here.

Loved your “Coffee and Ham Radio” Saturday, I’m sorry I missed the live stream, but I should have it fixed from here on out. Now let’s get Ape and TO over here as well.
Oh for sure Mike I reconise your name. Hey thanks for watching, Michael was a great guest and had a lot great info for our comunity! I think Jason and I both drove past Michael and his group down in Yosemite here recently would have like to have met them at the time. Hope to make one of the meetups here soon.
