Hello my name is Raul I'm from Mexico, more exactly Veracruz state , I started as an offroader but right now I'm more interested in overlanding that another thing, maybe some time do some light offroad, I live close to the volcano Pico de orizaba and all my life since I was a kid I do camping, acctually my grand pa and my father do hunting, I do that , not that frecuently but I do still, so thats way I already have all my gear for do some overlanding experiences.

When I was 16 years old my dad and I bought my firs car, and still have it 13 years ago Its a bronco II, I bought it in super nice conditions, sometimes I regret doing a lot of changes to my truck, but here we are:

Ford bronco ii 1987
302 + np435 + dana 20 (early bronco)
dana44hp / ford 9 and 4.88s with arb lockers
37x12.5 irock mounted in OEMl 7x15 ford rims warn 10000 winch
custom front bumper, rear modify original bumper to hold the weight of the tire
rancho 9000 shocks and rubicon express coil springs
interior as original as possible (original stereo lol)
custom made roof rack

planning of doing som drawing system to my truck (4 drawers)
doing it a custom made awning by myself

and the most improtant thing I'll love to overland from where I live to visit my sister in Madison Wi (a 3940 km travel from where I live, Cordoba Veracruz), do that travel would be amazing the problem its that maybe i don't have enough money to do that kind of trip. but as soon as I can I'll try to doit

Hi Overland Bound!

My name is Matt. I’m from Ohio, and I have a love for just about anything with an engine. In the warmer part of the year, you’ll probably find me spending every available minute on one of my motorcycles, and in the winter, I’m typically wrenching on something in the garage or just counting down days until warmer temps return.

As an avid watcher of overlanding videos on YouTube, I think it’s finally time to pull the trigger and dive into overlanding. In the cooler months, this will be in my 2010 Jeep Liberty, and in the warmer months, I may bring one of the bikes with the Jeep. (.. or I may try to outfit one of my bikes for overlanding. We’ll see)

I’m excited to use the collective knowledge of OB to outfit my vehicles, find destinations, and hopefully build some friendships along the way.

First thing on my agenda is to purchase or build either a chuck box or sliding drawer system to house my camp stove, a small cooler, and maybe some storage for non-perishable food.

If anyone wants to connect outside of OB, you can find my motorcycle and Jeep related antics on Instagram - MotoHop (@motohop_) • Instagram photos and videos

Safe travels!

Hey everyone,

Location: Atlanta, GA
Rig: 2019 Ram Rebel
I am a novice when it comes to Overlanding. I have been offroad before and have spent plenty of time outdoors. I have always wanted to get into Overlanding but never had the money or the right vehicle.
Welcome! I'm in Atlanta as well. Just now getting into Overlanding myself. Went to Overland Expo East 2019, meet a lot of great people and continue to look forward to meeting new people around the and on the road.

Been off-roading all over for a while, but I'm new to overlanding. I have a 2019 Tundra that is currently stock.
Looking to meet people and get out and explore!
