Hey everyone!

Current location is Columbia, MO, but we visit family in Grand Rapids, MI a few times a year.
Current vehicle is a 2016 Tacoma TRD OR (my first truck, bought used back in January).
Experience? New to the vehicle aspect, but I have a moderate amount of experience backpacking/hiking (lots of time in Killarney Provincial Park in Ontario, portions of the Appalachian Trail, I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro once upon a time). Looking forward to learning/playing off road with the truck.

Excited to be here!

Hi! My name is Rick. Just recently joined the Overland Bound Community and actually joined a recent Rally Point Event. I'm here in the Denver area and building out a 2006 Toyota 4Runner Limited. I've done a few 3-4 day trips, but hope to get one in for a week or longer. I've recently installed a Group 27 battery, power to the rear and Dometic Fridge so hoping that will allow me to extend my stays in the back country.

Here are a few recent images of my 4Runner.

Hello. My name is Josh and I live in Williamstown, NJ. I own a 2016 Subaru Outback 2.5i with no modifications at the moment. Just bought her 2 months ago. I'm 36 yrs old and love riding trails when I am able to. I have PTSD from service, so meeting new people to trail ride with gets difficult some times. Right now I only do small local trails, and can't do some of them after it rains (no one to trail ride with and don't wanna get stuck. Lol). Thank you guys for having me. Stay lifted my friends.

Hi everyone!

My rig is an 09 Fj with all the icon goodies and 35s.

As far as experience goes I am pretty experienced with the off-road aspect of overlanding but new to the camping, long distance travel and preparation aspect of over landing. Most of my experience is from the pay to play parks on the east coast.

Located in Allentown Pa and live in northeast part of Maryland part time for work.

Excited to be part of the group! View attachment 108953View attachment 108954
Love the rig!!! Welcome to OB from Austin, TX!!

Hey all,

Name is Don. Located in Phoenix.
I drive a 2 door Ram 1500 4x4. Lifted 2in front and rear and running BFG KO/2 stock size.
Haven’t done any “overlanding” exactly, but been wheeling off-road for many years.
Looking forward to seeing what others are doing in this hobby to get some good ideas for my own adventures.
Thanks!

Started my overlanding adventure this year with a Tacoma build of my everyday driver, but waiting until my move to the PNW this Fall to do anything major. I love my truck and I love camping, so this just makes sense. Happy to join a positive, encouraging, and helpful community.

Welcome! What part of the PNW?


Cheers!
