Hey all,

My name is Dan Serrao. I am in the process of building a truck camper in my 2003 Chevy Silverado. I currently have a Leer utility cap with a metal bed frame for overnights. I use two totes, one for food and one for cooking utensils. They slide underneath the bed frame. I have a car refrigerator and a Bluetti EB70 power station. I have only been out once with this setup. I am retired and l look forward to many more outings. My goal is to eventually build out a plywood setup to give myself more room in the cap.
Hello Dan, welcome to Overland Bound.
 
Hello everyone I’m new here!! So here’s a little bit about me.

I’m based in New Brunswick Canada
My rig currently is a stock 2016 jeep Cherokee sport 4x4 and I’m in the process of building it up the way I want.
My experience of off-roading/over landing started with a four wheeler then went to trucks with needing to go to remote locations and I enjoyed it I’ve loved the off-road community and love adventures and heard about over landing one day. I’d say I’m new to off road driving but not that new I’m learning and picking up tricks here and there here’s a picture of my rig as it stands and I have a Instagram page for the build progress and adventures I go on. Cheers

Hello all! I am new to the Overland life, having recently bought a Toyota FJ at the prodding of my son Mark, who owns a 2018 4Runner. He wants to get us both out on the trails.

Thanks Dave. It's liveable. I'm having fun ironing out the kinks.
 
Hey guys,
Bought a 97 land cruiser at the beginning of the pandemic - fearing for the impending zombie apocalypse - no camping in it yet :/

1997 triple locked no roof rack black Toyota Land Cruiser

I used to camp all the time when younger. Now it's time for my little ones to do the same, but in a land cruiser!

Hello Alex, welcome to the OB family.
