We are the Jacksons. Chris and Susanne. We started this off roading thing two years ago due to a good friend of mine insisting I needed adventure as I was recovering from an accident. We took our GMC Sierra 2500 and immediately fell in love with 4 wheeling back roads. Our daughter purchased a 1998 4runner and she loves to wheel. We sold our RV and traded my wife's car in for a 2016 Toyota 4runner built nicely. In fact it was previously owned by an overland bound member. We are excited to continue the adventure of this rig.
Hello Jacksons, welcome to Overland Bound.

Welcome! I'm new to OB. So fortunate to have found a 4Runner! I've been looking for one (my first choice - I think...) or a Toyota Crew cab Tacoma. I'm having a hard time deciding. I think it's basically going to come down to which ever I can find first that I can afford! ...and my husband thought horses were expensive! Ha!
I think this comment went onto the wrong thread...

My wife and I are new to all this. We’ve enjoyed hiking and exploring the world. We get around. The picture is of my proposal on top of the volcano Mount Nyiragongo in the Congo.

Overlanding feels like it could be a very natural fit for us. That being said, It's an entirely new experience for us. We only bring some camping experience and mall crawling our old Jeep.

New rig is 22 2D Rubicon that will be getting its lift and wheels next week.

We plan on hitting a trail with the jeep next weekend along with some hiking and if we stumble across a brewery, it won’t hurt my feelings.

Oh, and we are on the East Coast. A little north of Virginia Beach.

Welcome to Overland Bound Chris and Susanne
I am sure if the rig could talk it would tell some stories.
