Greetings from the UK,

I am newer to overlanding but not new to offroading. I joined to learn as much as I can and to improve my Jeep to fit our needs while we're touring Europe for 30 days. I am looking for any and all advice for what we could do better and to make our trip as successful as it can be with my wife and the dog. We have to make this last big trip in Europe the best it can be as we have to move back to the US in May.

Thanks for having us!
Hi Victor,

So again, also here welcome to Overland Bound.

I had already answered in the other topic regarding your Europe trip. Also check out the Europe subforums here, you will find a lot of info about overlanding in Europe. On the OB Map you will find many POIs that can be useful on your trip. Maybe even the one or other planned meetup is on your way. You can find them under Rally Points. There you can select by region, e.g. West Europe, Mid Europe etc. If you still have specific questions about individual regions or the like, then let me know. Happy to help.

Have fun on your trip through Europe. Maybe our paths will cross somewhere, in which case I would be happy to meet you in person. Is it possible to follow your journey somewhere (social media or so)?

Bjoern,

Thank you for all the warm welcomes everywhere. I have started to dig around in the forums and browsing the map POI's. I will reach out and yes, perhaps our paths will cross!

Instagram is the best way to follow along! I try to post as much as I remember to and hope to not get too backlogged.

Thanks,
Victor

New member here. I have limited offroad/camping experience but have been building up my knowledge/gear over the past few years and slowly doing longer/farther trips in my rigs, and am always reading to learn how to improve my setups.

Hello there!

1) I only have a mock up pic for now, but I've got an order in for a 2024 Bronco.

2) Houston area
3) 2024 Ford Bronco Badlands (pending); 1993 Ford Explorer (current)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)
- overlanding, not so much. Most of my experience is from rock crawling, but I'm getting older now and looking to take it easy while still enjoying the outdoors, along with vehicle assistance.

Here's my rockcrawler 1993 Ford Explorer on 1979 F350 D60s:
