Thanks for letting me in, we are looking forward to having an adventure or two... We are planning to go hit the Black Hills this spring and then travel the lower 48 over the summer.

05 Apache, it needs a little work but should be a great tool for being mobile and comfortable.

I’m a 23 year old guy living in the northern parts of Sweden. I have little to no experience in overlanding yet. But I’m getting myself a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ 2,7 L Turbo Diesel this month. There is some work to get it through inspection and so on but after that my plan is to build a good overland rig of it.
Welcome to the club
Take your time learning but remember that you don’t need to be a pro to have a good time, make good friends, and make awesome memories!

Glad to be a part of the Overland Bound community. I'm well past social security age which the bones feel but the mind does not. The wife, dog and I have travelled in Class A and Class C motorhomes and have pulled several jeeps as our towed/toad for our trips. I have done day trips on forest service and BLM roads but want to try some extended trips camping out of the Jeep. I'm especially interested in the California Backcountry Discovery Trails and am looking forward to learning more from the community.

Hi Linus,

Welcome to Overland Bound!

We have several members from Skandinavia here and you will find also a Skandinavia Subforum

If you like take a look at the Rally Points for meetups in your area. Once a month we do also a virtual campfire with members mostly from all over Europe attending. The next one will be on 26th of January. You will find the details here. You are welcome to join.

Greetings,
Bjoern
