Hello everyone, my name is Jesus,
I am currently located in Northern Italy. I have a 2017 Toyota Tacoma Off-Road. I am new to overlanding. I wasn't really sure which way I was going to go on my truck build but decided this was best for what I plan on doing with it. Still have a lot to do to it but here is the start.

It's funny that you would mention that. I just told my wife I wanted to plan a trip to baja and that I would start to look into it. Do you have an trip reports you can share?

Hello all.
New member here.

Met and camped next to Dave (a fellow Overland Bound Member) and had a great time, Thanks Dave.
I live in eastern North Carolina, Rocky Mount to be exact.

Welcome from the upper West Coast! Hope you have a blast out exploring and meeting new people- make sure you have the Jeep wave down! (Had a Wrangler rental for a month and damn it I want one now because I miss the wave!!)

Hi all. New member here. My name is Todd and I live in southeast Louisiana, but my heart lives in the Rocky Mountain. My rig is a Ram 2500. I don’t have a RTT and haven’t decided if that or a truck camper will best suit my needs. I usually make a trip to the Rockies each summer but have never spent more than two weeks there. I will decide on how to equip my rig by next Spring, will retire in June and will then head west for an extended period. I look forward to meeting many of you along the way.

Hello Everyone

My name is Adrienne.
I have been a member for a few months but I haven't ever posted. I did attend a Phoenix Arizona Area Meet-up recently.
This is my rig (Artec Venture bumper, Rigid lights, winch, skids, ARB compressor with wifey system are going on this week!).
2016 Toyota 4Runner Trail Premium.
My husband and I have been adventuring, off-roading and camping out of his 89 Toyota truck since High School. We first discovered the term Overland in 2016 and attended our first Overland Expo in 2017.
We still have the 89, and have recently added a 2012 FJ Cruiser Trail Teams in Rad Red. You may have seen his photos (with 3 red Toyotas in our drive way). lol
I still have a lot to learn, but I am enjoying every moment of it.

Hello all!

My name is Codi, and I have a 2018 4Runner TRD ORP. I attached my most recent photo of it (after a good bath). I work overseas, so I overland the majority of my time home, which is why I upgraded from my truck to this 4Runner last year.

This June will be my first trip out west with this rig, with the only upgrades I’ve made are some KO2’s thrown on the rims. I’m going to slowly be doing the build myself, so it will take some time.

I am in the general western Kentucky area. So if anyone every needs help or just to go out on the trails in that area, and western Tennessee; I’m open to it if I’m home!
