Hey everyone! I’m new, joined a couple months ago. Own a 2008 Wrangler Rubicon JKU. Live in the San Diego/Temecula, Ca area, retired USMC. Started overlanding when Covid kicked off as a way to get outdoors and back to nature! As I post this, I just picked up my 22’ Jeep 392 XR…can’t wait to build it up and hit the trails!

Hey Jimmy, welcome to the Family. Interested to see how the 392 XR build goes.

Hello Overlanders!

My name is Mark, and I'm pumped to be here.

1) I am in Temecula, CA

2) The Rig: 2018 Jeep JLUR + 2022 Hive EX Expedition Camper Trailer

3) I like to think my experience cannot be as much as many of you, so i'll note my experience level as "intermediate". :)

Just acquired the newest, and likely the greatest, addition to the rig (The Hive Camper)... Here is our current setup!

Hi all,

I’m Kelly, and I reside in the suburbs of Tucson, Arizona. Overland noob here, but was a boy scout, rock crawler and a general gear head. oh and I love a project! As I’ve aged, I don’t sleep as well without a proper bed compared to my youth. To me that means I need a full length queen mattress, and of course I have my own ideas on what my set up needs to be. My current plan is an extra long square drop. My tow rig is a 1999 Jeep Cherokee. Looking forward to getting thoughts and advice from y’all!View attachment 227189

Welcome Kelly, love the Tucson area. Welcome to OB.

Welcome we have only joined a few weeks ago. But love the idea of adventure. Had a family event in Fresno. Camped at Millerton Lake. Not really off roaring but better than a hotel.

Hey Jackson, welcome to the OB family.

Good morning folks! New to the forum and overlanding but not new to camping, 4 wheeling or adventure. Born and raised in FL but been around Columbus, OH for almost 10 years. I am in the oil & gas engineering business and travel around the country most every week.

I have a 15 day trip to some Montana Forest Service cabins via a rental Jeep Rubicon scheduled for June.

2022 4Runner Off Road Premium
2 dogs and me (Steve)

Hey Steve, safe travels on your 15 day trip. Sounds like a blast!

Hi everybody! I'm Scott from the Austin, Texas area. I drive a 2015 Rav4 XLE with a sleeping platform and kitchenette. It is 2wd so I am primarily on dirt roads, beaches and highways. My favorite spots to travel to are the Texas gulf beaches and Texas State Parks. I joined OB to meet people who are interested in the outdoors and the stewardship and conservation of our land and trails. I am fairly experienced in overlanding and starting to get my 4 year old involved. I used to be heavily involved in Search and Rescue, outdoor education and now I'm excited to be a part of the OB family and I look forward to many trips with yall!

Hello Scott, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hey Everyone, I'm Nate. I have a '19 Ford Ranger FX4 I'm making into my overlanding rig, who my 5 year old daughter has aptly named "Lyla", and is relentless about it.
I'm based out of Sacramento CA but originally from Calaveras County here in CA. I'm entirely new to the overlanding world, but excited to start exploring! Hopefully I can meet some awesome people here to learn from.

Hello Nate, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hello all,

My name is Ricardo. I'm from Costa Rica, but I'm currently living in Pittsburgh, PA. I recently purchased a 2014 SR5 Toyota 4Runner. I like to call it "FurRunner" since I now use it to take my dogs places and camping. It has no mods yet, but I hope to get it ready for some trails soon. It is a 2WD so I would appreciate your advice on places to go and what mods could help me the most. I'm not planning on doing any crazy trail yet as I'm a novice.

I hope we get a chance to meet... hopefully in the woods!

Hello Ricardo, welcome to Overland Bound.

Hey all,

My name is Noah, long time wheeler, shorter time overlander (2 years or so and counting). Totally didn't know about this huge group and resource node, just randomly popped up on my FB as a group I might want to join.

Don't have too much experience with trail fixes or with complicated recovery, but I'm very experienced in wheeling and wheeling techniques. If you guys run a group (on a trail) and in need of an extra experienced hand give me a hollar.

Location: Northern Virginia
Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.): 2008 Toyota 4Runner V8 Limited
