Hi All--

Scott here from Leentu. Recently sold my Gen 1 Taco, upgraded to a (new to me) 2007 Tacoma TRD 4x4. Have't had much of a chance to get the rig kitted out as I've been completely swamped with customer camper builds since the fall, hah.

After 10 years on the west coast, I'm now between Chicago and our shop in Indianapolis so definitely looking forward to getting out and meeting new people in the area this summer. My experience is mixed, I wouldn't call myself an expert, but I've definitely put some good miles in from the California desert, to Baja and exploring Central America.

Cheers and look forward to connecting!

I have a ‘94 Toyota Land Cruiser without lockers. That I received for a decent price and counts right pass it up about 4 years ago. I live in Las Vegas NV try to get out as much as possible. However, like everyone, work and life keep me from getting out as often as I would like. I originally built her to sell. The further I got into her I realized I didn’t want to sell her eventually made her reliable and made her my daily driver. A 2-3” OME lift. Corbeau Moab Seats, and more recently arb front and rear bumpers.

I’m fairly new to overlanding. But love to get out as often as I can.

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.

Hey all, member #16829 out of Leavenworth, KS, here! Looking to adventure and learn, and share as much as I can with ya'll. Currently finishing up my rig, a 2004 Toyota 4Runner Limited. All I've got left for now is a front bumper and tire swing out, which I pick up upon completion in four weeks from DGG Fabrication in Springfield, MO. Hoping to see some of ya'll around soon! I'll be frequenting Kansas Rocks with my local Toyota group, actually will he there this Saturday, the 27th.
Yeah you made it. Here is a link to the Rocky Mountain forum threads. Welcome to our community.

Hello all! New member here. Lebanon Oregon, in Oregon's Willamette Valley. Happy to be here.
Hi @Bradywan and welcome to Overland Bound! There are a number of great overlanding events occurring throughout the PNW, so I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups and to get to know your neighbors. In fact, the Willamette Valley area is a happening area thanks to your Member Reps, @Roy & Kristin Zirpoli. In fact, there is an camping event coming up this weekend in the Tillamook State Forest [link] that you might be interested in. Most of our events are posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well.


I look forward to seeing you out there! If you need anything, feel free to hit me up on the forums: @Jedi.
