Hey folks,

I’m Ashli and I’ve been exploring offroad since 2018. I drive a 5th gen T4R limited with a few upgrades. I’m currently living in Utah and love it here.

Ginny- Fulton Mo, running 14 rubicon, have couple years wheel time crawling, but fell in love with the adventures and journeys overlanding brings. Life's not about where you get to, it's the experience, lessons, and enjoyment along the way. Sancho is my rig, still stock for now. He has done amazing so far and has been apart of so many wonderful memories!!

Hi, I am Walker, from Cave Creek, AZ (just a wee bit north of Phoenix). I have a 1967 Scout that has been in the family since 1967. I have owned it for 20 years, and it was my first foray into four wheels drives. I also have a 3/4 ton Silverado that is my work truck, but frequently doubles as my weekender.

My overlanding is a little different than most, as I have a 5 acre parcel in the middle of the forest in the Bradshaw Mountains near Crown King Az. It is very remote, 4wd only access. We generally set up a wall tent and shade tents and have them up until fall. The hotter it gets in Phoenix, the more time we spend at the camp. We built an outhouse and have a natures head in it, and have job boxes on site for storage of stove, bedding, etc. I also generally have power generation available, but surprisingly use very little once at camp.

Welcome from Phoenix!
I'm new too. Overland Bound is a great organization--and lots of members in our area.

Hello all, we are Delta and Juliet. We currently reside in the Hampton Roads area of Virginia.

Our rig is a tan pirate themed (because why the hell not) 2018 Toyota Tacoma that we are slowly building up as we can.

We are new to overlanding but are loving every minute. Going out whenever we can. We hope to meet many more overlanders on our adventures. We love sharing our journey on and off the trails on our small instagram page.IMG_20220517_143720_818.jpgDSC01408.JPG
