New Guy,
A little about me.... Raised in So. Cal among the 25 mil people and a lot of cars. Recently retired and looking for somewhere to go! Found my 2005 LJ in Lexington, Kentucky (in 2015) on a business trip and drove it home. Dropped this stock LJ off at Savvy Off Roady and picked it up 5 months later. Very capable rig that does all I ask it to do. Recently bought a SoCal Tear Drop Off Road Trailer and ready to tackle some adventures. Looking for similar Off Roaders that have room for One more rig. Look forward to seeing where this Forum goes?

Hi, my name is WildKatt, I’m new to Overlanding. I sport a 1986 Ford F250 Diesel 4X4, and my reason for overloading is because of my grandfather, we went on a lot of trips together and I want to keep the tradition going with my family and friends.

Welcome WildKatt,
Sounds like a good reason to keep the tradition alive.
What part of the country are you in?

Hi Folks!

My name is Chris. Currently living in exile south of the border. My overlanding experience is basically driving as far as I can up a dirt road and then setting up camp to backpack, hunt, or fish. Currently driving a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 which unfortunately spends most of its time on pavement these days. If anyone knows of any overlanding groups here in Mexico I'd love to hear about them! The only off-roaders I've found so far have been rock crawlers which isn't my thing.

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

 

[roots66]

Hello, glad to find this group. I live in SW Montana and my main overland vehicle is a 1983 toyota pickup however, I recently bought a 1990 (squarebody) chevy 1 ton crew cab long bed rolling frame to start building my vision for a perfect overland vehicle aka a poor mans earthroamer. Looking forward to learning all I can here.

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

 

[roots66]

Hello all. I’ve always been into the idea of overlanding but have never actually done it. So the plan this winter is to make one overnight trip each month. I’m in the desert southwest so plenty of trails in the area. My vehicle is a 2001 jeep grand cherokee. Mildly built as an off-roader, nothing in the infrastructure department so I’ll be “roughing” it to start. Thanks in advance!

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Hi, Jules here. New to the overland bound group but not to the adventure!

30yo from Tuscaloosa, AL who has been overlanding with my rig and dogs for about 3 years now. I drive a 2022 Toyota 4Runner.

Love it and hoping to get more involved & make like-minded friends. Excited to explore the community with Overland Bound!

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Hello from Michigan!
I'm H and my husband is Michael and we've been vehicle camping for about 10 years. We've acquired an older Jeep Grand Cherokee and have a lot to learn about overlanding. Our next step is taking a picture of our Jeep, lol!

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Hey there new to the group but not to Overlanding! Loving this app so far!

Hello and welcome to the OB family.

Hello,

Tony here. I am a 39 year old male from Northern California.

I bought my bronco 4-5 years ago and I have been really slacking on the project. The focus of my project is to go camping with my family away from the high traveled areas.

I came across this forum when I was looking for inspiration on my build. I cam across a 95 bronco painted green with a black top. Exactly what I am making mine to look like.

Hello and welcome to the OB family.
