Hey everyone. New guy from LI, NY. My name is Tom. I drive a 2021 Toyota Tacoma. It has a few things done to it and is my camping/beach wheeling/trail bombing adventure suit. I am usually in the woods with my wife and dogs (Huskies) trying to figure out where we should camp. We love adventuring and look forward to checking the forums out!

Hi Tom. Welcome to Overland Bound. Very nice rig!

 

[Bad Sport]

Howdy.
I'm Keith. I'm from the DFW, TX (N Texas) area.
I'm looking to get started in Overlanding. I have zero experience and gear.
My rig is a stock Gladiator Rubicon.

Welcome to Overland Bound Keith. You've got a great rig to build on. Do your research and take your time. For now, throw a tent in the back and get out and explore.

Hi, I am OB. Currently, we live in Palmer, Alaska, but are heading on a relocation overlanding trip to South Carolina March 30th, 2024.

Grew up in PNW, near Eatonville, WA, with lots of wheeling experiences in those areas. Military background with minimalist and backcountry experience.

Now, I am more mellow, especially when only one rig on the trail and its just my wife and 14yr old pup.

We have a 2019 4Runner TRD ORP, that has just turned into a more capable overlanding rig (lift, tires, ridiculous electronics mounts, dual batteries, fridge, etc... pics in current state and more to come durimg the next weeks).

Looking forward to being part of the community and wish I found this earlier in my planning!

Welcome to Overland Bound Brandon.

Hi! I’m Harry, new to the app so here is my intro. I’m from Camden, Delaware, my wife and I have both a 2009 JKU that is fairly well outfitted for our local area, as well as a 2000 disco 2 that I picked up cheap to build at the local tech school where I teach automotive to Adults. We are fairly well versed in camping and the outdoors, from tents and hiking to a 40’ toy hauler and everything in between. Just getting into the overland side of things though, planning on the PA bdr loop this summer.

Hi all.

Jordan from Texas, just southeast of Austin. New here, not new to cars/trucks, and not new to forums. Glad to see there is a community of like-minded individuals.

My overland build is a new-to-me 2017 GMC Canyon Denali 4wd, short bed, crew cab. I have only had it a few months, still getting ideas about what direction I would like to go with it for modding.

I am quite experienced with camping, was in BSA all the way up to Eagle scout, was in the Army, and have had several weekend trips to various NP's around the country. After growing up in Ohio, I have lived in Georgia, Virginia, Arizona, California, and now Texas. I am excited to start exploring the state.

I have read several posts on these forums already - this seems like a pretty well-put-together community and I love the Map and Rally Point options. Hoping to meet some of you fine people soon. Cheers
