Hello all!! My name is Mike and I’m in Long Island NY. A year ago my father past away in Puerto Rico and I decided to keep his 2010 Jeep jk. It has since gone through a total make over. I have two little boys and I’m looking for a fun way to bond with them away from the iPads and PlayStation. I’m excited to start this new journey and hobby. Thanks for the amazing videos. Looking forward to hitting the trails.

Hello Mike and welcome to Overland Bound!

Hello everyone!

My name is Graydon McKee and I live in Cumming, Ga. I’m new to Overlanding though I used to go “4Wheeling” quite a bit 20+ years ago. I preferred “low and slow” to the mud slinging. At least most of the time.
I used to be a Jeep guy but have recently inherited a 2007 Toyota 4Runner Sport. It is stock but I plan on some minor modifications over the next few years. First thing is new tires and fixing the 4Low actuator. My father ran it in 4High once a month but never bothered with 4Low. Use it or loose it they say.

Welcome To Overland Bound Graydon
Have fun with your build, the 4Runner is a solid platform to start with.

Hey everyone! I'm Rick and I'm excited to be here!

I'm in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia, USA.
3) I have a (new to me) 2015 Toyota 4RUNNER. It's mostly stock as far as I can tell. It's and SR5 Premium and seems to have most of the off road goodies that the TRD models have without the badging and price tag. My goal is to try to make it as capable as possible while keeping it looking stock.
4) Overlanding Experience Background: I would consider myself a novice. I had a 95 Bronco back in the day and took it out out a few times but it was a bit of a basketcase and wasn't reliable...so I didn't do a lot with it and ended up selling it. Looking forward to getting out on some trails again!

Hey Rick! Your gone have fun in that 4Runner!

Welcome, Mike! I’m in the same boat, getting my 7 year old son out in nature any way I can get him interested.

Howdy! This is the first response to a post I've done. I am a new member, just signed up to be a part of this community. I am also new to off-roading / overlanding. I have a 2011 Jeep Wrangler, no real mods. I have been to Ocean City Maryland's Jeep Beach Week before and played around a little here and there on some mild trails but nothing significant. I am looking forward to getting educated and motivated thru this site. I've only been to Georgia once, Savannah, staying there a few days before going to Florida. I stayed at a "Haunted Hotel" in Savannah in hopes to experience some paranormal activity but it didnt happen while I was awake haha. I'm not too far away, I'm a Virginian.

New Member Intro
Location: Virginia, USA
Name: John
Occupation: Firefighter Paramedic
I am pretty excited I stumbled across this site after watching a YouTube Video by Crazy Empty Nest titled "What is Overlanding? Overland Camping 101- How to Get Started"
I like camping, mostly car camping sites. I like hiking the trails locally and in the Shenandoah Mountains. The concept of Overlanding is always something I have thought about but never pursued due to work and life. Luckily, my wife is on board and loves the outdoors and adventures too, and she is excited to make time with me, both of us stepping away from work and school and trainings, to go on more adventures. Overlanding falls right in place to what we want. I am excited to learn lots form everyone here.

I also stumbled across www.overlandexpo.com/east/ yesterday while browsing around and am definitely considering take leave from work to attend and learn.

Vehicle: 2011 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, practically stock.
