Hello Community!

PeuNeu, from Reno NV
The build has started of my 1997 Land Cruiser Prado 3L TurboDiesel. Can't wait to explore more and wider areas

Hi PeuNeu. Welcome to Overland Bound.

 

[Bad Sport]

Hey there,

Have you ever been on a road trip….just driving and you notice a small dirt road that disappears way out in the distance…….and wonder “where does that go”.…..but then keep driving to your destination? Well, I want to make that turn and start taking these roads, start exploring to places I haven’t been.

Name is Paul, beginner in overlanding, the trail to Laurel Lake, Mammoth area, is about my speed for now. I love Alabama Hills and anything else up the 395 from Lone Pine to Mammoth. Wanting to go to Death Valley and start exploring trails all over south west Utah. Currently live in SoCal but will be relocating to Southwest Utah next year.

Vehicle is a 2015 GMC 2500HD 4X4 Duramax. 5 inch lift on 35s currently with just some basic light mods and recovery gear. Next step is Fab4 bumper so I can install a nice winch and some additional cube lights. I have a motor sports background and comfortable working on DIY installs.

When I was younger, I hiked across the Western US for years, climbed Mt Rainer, Mt Whitney 3X, etc - but today I am more into quad riding, kayaking, mountain biking and photography.

I joined here as I hope to learn on where to go, avoid mistakes, and see what mods work, what is necessary, nice to have, and what really isn’t, based on real world experience from those who are much more experienced than I.

Photography is one of my hobbies, and I like being able to get out in the middle of nowhere and do some Astrophotography of the night sky. The darker the area, the better. I literally could post pictures for weeks but will restrain myself to these few:

Hi all! Wanted to do a quick intro of myself! I'm Cole, located in Mission, BC.

Currently I drive a 2019 JLU Rubicon, I just bought it and haven't done much to it yet but slowly we will get there!

I'm somewhere just beyond novice in my wheeling experience, I did have a jeep prior to this one (with a short stint driving a regular car) and have some experience but definitely still have lots to learn!

Hi all. Am a very new beginner member who got interested in Overlanding after watching Mountain State Overland and Expedition Overland on YouTube.

Location: North New Jersey, so miles from any real Overlanding territory.
Rig: Chevy Equinox 2008 AWD, pretty good for road trips.
Experience: watching YouTube :)

Been a “fan” for quite some time. Found ourselves slightly lost is Southern Az trying to follow BDR. Remembered that Overland Bound had an app and sure enough, app had the BDR route (in AZ) and we were not on it. signed up immediately and then used it to finish BDR seg 1 & 2. And the route definitely tested my rookie abilities.
