I’ve been enjoying the outdoors for a number of years and after acquiring a 4wd truck I’ve combined my love for being outside with vehicular adventure.

Hello people. My name is Anthony Broussard and my wife is Karen Broussard. We are just getting into overlanding. We are from Lafayette LA aka Cajun Country. We drive a 2012 Ford Raptor named Rex. We are looking forward to seeing many parts of the United States in our future travels. Not sure where to start but can’t wait. Looks like this might be the place for useful info.
Welcome to the OB community Anthony and Karen. There is lots of good info to be found here. Places to go, mods to make, etc.

Hey guys, my name’s Lorne from Red Deer Alberta Canada. I just bought a used 2019 4Runner I plan on eventually gearing up for overlanding. First order are tires.

At the moment I’m just a “visiting member “ and plan on getting a full membership but need to know just how active are the Canadian member here.

I’ll try to post a pic of my rig (completely stock atm) but I’m not very tech so I might botch it.

Anyways, this is me. Looking forward to talking with you guys about rigs and trails and sharing some stories.
Welcome to the OB community Lorne.

Hey everyone!!

We’re Miranda & Michael from Timmy_TheTundra! We’re currently in the process of building out our 2021 Toyota Tundra to make it overland-capable. So far we have switched out the suspension (BP-51), added a bumper, an antenna and radio system, a snorkel, a custom leaf kit, and we’ve installed a SwitchPro. Next on our list is a down payment on a Four Wheel Camper Flatbed Hawk, then a flatbed, airbags, rear locker, gears, sliders, and rear armor. We’re so excited to eventually meet up with everyone and use this app to its full capability!

Happy travels.

Miranda & Michael
Welcome to the OB community. Nice looking Tundra.

Greetings from the Greater Phoenix area. We are Graham and Steph Taylor and can’t wait for what 2022 has in store for us… we’ve spent the last year “finding our groove” and building out the 2020 Ranger. Amazing times re discovering ourselves, each other and nature. Glad to be in this community.
Hello Graham and Steph, welcome to Overland Bound. I spent you some links on our Arizona page.

Good Morning,
My name is JT, from Sacramento, Calif.
My current vehicle is a '21 Tacoma. It's my third Tacoma, though the first one not being leased, so I actually get to keep it for more than three years. I plan on outfitting it with some gear and travelling to dark sky sites with it for stargazing. My only overlanding experience thus far is to pack the bed full of camping equipment and driving out to a camping area in a state park designed for such. I'd really like to try out dispersed camping, driving along a trail till it's time to stop and relax and pop out the tent I plan on getting.

Welcome to Overland Bound JT. Sac is an awesome place as a home base to go do most of Northern Cal. We did time in Penn Valley, Sac, Yuba and Lodi while dad was at Beale. Have fun out on the trails. Happy New Year

It does seem like it, except for the way way south areas. I just don't know what's out there, so hopefully I'll be able to find some areas on here! :)
