Hi All,
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, but originally come from New Zealand (30 years in California). Been overlanding for about 8-9 years now in a 2010 FJ Cruiser with an Adventure Trailer, mostly in California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah. Always seem to be planning the next adventure, and looking forward to learning more from this community.

Hello all!

Location: Saint Johns, FL
Rig: 2018 Jeep Rubicon JL Unlimited
Overlanding Experience Background: Not a lot of experience but looking forward to it. I found this by accident while reading on another forum. I've been all over the world but seen very little of the USA so I am trying to make plans for a road trip out West next Spring and looking at all of the advice on how to outfit the Jeep, what to take, what to do, etc.

Hey all! I'm located in south orange county, ca and grew up doing the whole desert thing. I moved to the East Coast a few years ago and sold all of my offroading gear. About a year ago I picked up my montero after moving back tot he area and after a few trips my wife is surprisingly interested in doing more vehicle supported adventuring! The rig is a 2003 Mitsubishi Montero XLS, its currently got +1 size tires and I have an old man emu hd kit sitting the garage. I'm hoping to build it into a simple overland rig over the next few years!

New Members,

Welcome to the Overland Bound community! Please take a few moments to introduce yourself so we can get to know you!

A few things you might want to include in your introduction are:

1) Picture! If you have a rig, we want to see it!
2) Location (General area is fine)
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)

We're glad you've found us and look forward to sharing our adventures with you!

In addition to getting to know you, here are the guideline sent to all Moderators of the forums. It's a natural reflection of our community, and what Overland Bound is all about:

From @administrator
  • Overlanding is: "Vehicle Dependent Travel". Nothing else.
  • We will not further define "overlanding".
  • "Capable" depends on the requirements of the trip, and we take that very seriously.
  • You are an Overlander: Overlanding is for everyone who has exploration and adventure in their heart, or, who need to be reinvigorated by connecting with nature. Nature is unforgiving. You must rise to a certain level of personal awareness to survive. Sound right? Overlanding is for you.
  • Encourage uncomplicated ventures into the great outdoors. Don't over pack.
  • Be prepared, and understand basic requirements. Question folks, to be sure they are aware of what is required. Don't assume.
  • Share without reservation, trip locations, and information.
  • It doesn't matter what you drive: The only requirement of an Overlander is that the vehicle serves the job required, safely.
  • We do not care about make or model.
  • We do not engage in "this is better than that" competitions.
  • We DO give advice about how to make your vehicle ready for what you need. Share knowledge.
  • Humility.
  • We respect, fear, and protect nature.
  • "I don't know" is a great answer.
  • We don’t brag about exploits.
  • We seek answers from the community when we don’t know.
  • We engage in the very smallest of interactions.
Hello My name is Jeremiah Barba. Really excited to be part of what looks like a great community with lots of info. Found it on YouTube and now I’m stoked to be a member.
I am a newbie to overlanding and have been already learning a lot on the posts as well as videos. So Thank you!!
My rig is a 2018 Toyota Tundra TRD 4x4 sport. Trying to get my rig right where I want it. And it is slowly getting there. Haha! Hope to meet some of you soon on one of these meet ups or on a trail somewhere.
Thanks for having me!!
