Hi everyone,

New to Overland Bound, but a long-time admirer. I was one of those kids who grew up "overlanding" without knowing the name for it. I've loved the wilderness my whole life, and look forward to nothing more than passing that passion on to my own kids.

I look forward to being a part of this community, and seeing you all out in the sticks!

Name is Brett and I am a new member here from Kansas with my 99 Land Cruiser and a few Jeeps. I've been exploring backroads since my first trip to Colorado in 1999 and wouldn't label myself as experienced since I learn something new every trip.

Hey everyone! I'm new to OB but not exactly new to overlanding, I've been doing it for a few years now without even knowing that it's a thing! So I'm super greatful to see lots of other people interested in it as well. My rig, I currently have a 2016 f150 ecoboost 2.7L wit a 6.5' bed. I have made a few mods to it, I really enjoy making things myself so a lot of my upgrades are DIY and there are a lot more builds to come in the future!!!

Hello,

We are The Overlanding Aggies out of Houston. We recently bought our new ride a 2017 JKU and cannot wait to get onto the trail. We are hoping through this new hobby/lifestyle that we get outdoors and do more camping, see new parts of the country, and of course make some new friends.

We look forward to meeting you all and the good times ahead!

Hello from beautiful Bucks County, PA !

I’m excited to be an active part of this community and forum.

Growing up in Northern California, with the Sierra Nevada mountains as my playground, was incredible gift. I’ve been hooked on the beauty and excitement of nature ever since.

I’ve owned and modified a few Jeeps in my past. I actually just sold my latest JKU a couple weeks back so that I can start a rig built to get me to (and back from) beautiful places! Let’s just say my past Jeeps looked great at the mall :)

I’m looking forward to learning from all of you!
Best,
Justin Turner

Hello everyone! What an excellent crew you have here. I was researching overland trailers and stumbled upon this site...and had to join. Thanks so much for all the useful info, I hope I can return the favour in the future.

I bit about me...I have an extensive background in expedition travel (mostly in sea kayaks) and I've been into truck camping and off road exploring for that past couple decades. My daily driver is a 2nd gen Ram 2500 CTD, but looking at getting a new JL Rubicon and overland trailer to start exploring a lot more. I'll post me journey as we go.

Thanks again!

Welcome, come over and say hi in the Arizona Overlanders thread as well and we can get you out on some runs. We're currently in the midst of discussing/planning a couple meetups for Feb and another for March so hop in the conversation!
