Hello all

My current rig is a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon. I’m moderately experienced. I’m locating Brownsville, California.

I love finding new trails and meeting fellow off-readers.

Hey Folks...

Just north of Austin Texas. Round Rock area.

We have just about finished the remod on our 80 Series Land Cruiser. Pretty well equipped inside / out... plan to do a lot of x-country and overlanding with my wife... and kids when they can make it.

Looks like a good group... interested in gaining as much info. / learning as we can... New to this world, but we're pretty invested at this point... :)

Kelly & Cherie

Lol... no problem... I probably have way to much into it to make sense... methinks Diesel engine will be next...

Drawers are Front Runner... along with ALOT of the other accessories (Rack / RTT / Water tank / other misc. stuff)... Saw their stuff at SEMA last year and like the quality and look... :)

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.
My name is Brad I live in the PNW I drive a 17 Tacoma. I’m a new member just looking to get out and explore this beautiful state and meet new people.

Hello Everyone!

I'm Ashley. My husband Casey and our daughter Alice are new to the Overlanding community. We have been watching videos for several years now but due to having a new baby have been unable to really get out there and participate until now.

We are located in the East Bay of California and are excited to get out there and meet new people and see beautiful places.

We have 2 semi-capable vehicles but are in the process of either getting new to us vehicles or outfitting what we have to be more capable. I drive a 2015 Jeep Cherokee and my husband has a 1998 Toyota Tacoma.
