Hi everyone, we have been overlanding for quite a few years(since 2012). But, we were truly novices in the beginning. We had a 2014 RAm 1500 with a 24ft trailer at first. We didn't think we would like roughing it out in the real outdoors :) To our surprise, probably after our 2 trip we decide to sell the trailer and just camp out with our truck. No special equipment, we would just load up the truck with as much as possible and go for 2-3 days.
As time went on and we got more serious about it. We purchased our first tent and rigged our Ram for a decent overlanding setup. After just over a year and a half we sold our truck. We replaced it with a newer RAM 1500 and we just finished building our dedicated overland trailer. We will become supporters in the next month and we hope to see out in the trails. Cheers

Hi all, new member from Michigan. Been boondockin/overlanding with my SXS for about 6 years. Last year, I decided to share it on my youtube page and created a channel along with a facebook group to share experiences with other folks interested in this excellent way to spend time! I love the outdoors and exploring trails/areas. Primarily, I ride in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

My FB group and channel are in my details if you are interested in taking a look.

Thanks!!

Hello all,
Just joined up today but have been camping/backpacking for years.
Currently working on my XJ to get some cool rooftop gear and redundant power, hoping to meet some groups/find some areas to go out and camp.
I live in Mesa/Phoenix, Az down by the salt, often head North.
Got linked here due to the heat exchanger/shower thread and going to give that a shot!

Forum looks awesome.

Hello Shaun, welcome to Overland Bound!

Hey all!

I just joined and bought a 2012 Toyota Tacoma TRD Offroad. I've had a Jeep TJ and CJ7 in the past, I grew up wheeling in central/southern California (Rubicon/Deer Valley/Anza Borrego/etc). I love in Western Washington state now.

Me and my wife are planning a week long roadtrip to Southern California and back at the end of February, I'll take plenty of pictures and post what I can!

I'm getting away from hard-core trails and getting more into distance travel and exploration. Hoping to meet some cool people along the way.

If you guys have any question please feel free to ask.

Welcome to Overland Bound, Paulo. Did you build the custom trailer? If you did, would you consider doing a build thread? I would love to see the process. I am planning on building an overlanding trailer once I have my truck ready.

Hello Joe (@Joe Wolf ) , welcome from Navina, Oklahoma. Where abouts in OK are you?
Kent already provided the usual links but if you are on Facebook feel free to join us there as well, Overland Bound – Southwest.
Unfortunately local meet ups have been few and far between, I do have plans for a 2 day back road event but some things have come up that have sidelined a lot of my plans so I have had to postpone the event. Hopefully later on this year though. I do have an event scheduled for the end of June but it's geared more toward ham radio if you are interested.

We are part time in and out of Piedmont OK with the inlaws. Yes, I am very interested in HAM operations. Looking to take the Tech test in February. I have RSVP your June event on RallyPoint. Looking forward to hanging out and learning more.

Hello, Joe and family. What are some of your favorite spots in the SW? I am hoping to take my family on a trip from central Kansas to El Paso, TX this year. Last trip we drove straight through. This time I want to enjoy to country side a little more.

Robert, wow that will be an awesome road trip. Do y’all plan to shoot straight south out of central Kansas through OK and TX or start west to CO and then meander south through NM? our last adventure through CO and NM we enjoyed the amazing views of the Rocky Mountains to the west as we traveled I25 south which allowed us to branch off at several points and see some amazing off the main road sights and camp. The entire path that direction of smaller and off road areas are plentiful and a blast to wander along through if time and travel permits at least in my opinion. beautiful family experiences are in store for y’all no matter which road or trail you travel there and back! Very excited for y’all. Explore, Adventure, Together!!

Safe Travels,
Joe Wolf
