Hey to all -
Funny how roads seem to converge.Here is an example
Recentally I am a local google guide combining exploration ,camping and adventuring putting up reviews of "underserved destinations" as a way to fill that void. I stumble into youtube -drawing ideas and insperation on how to better fill that void and yesterday I just spent a couple hours watching Kevin and family transitioning and now find myself here.
As for my overlanding platform we use a Tucson by default but spent 13 years with 04 ford F250 extended cab with a high top cap with several towables.We lived near the Blue Ridge parkway and spent countless hours exploring and adventuring.We are now tent camping again out of a SUV- after several iderations in the past two years , we are at a cross roads again. We have spent the past two years adventuring within our means but I expect a change is coming more out of need rather than want. As a planner I find joy in preparing as well as execution. Today my focus is on finding our next exploration platform that will get us "out thier" again.
I dont believe in accidents or coincidences so I plan on enjoying my association and hopefully fellowship with you all.Feel free to reach out.

Hello,
I am in Chicago I used to do a lot of hiking until I blew my knee and Achilles out. I am looking for new adventure and after watching a few overland series on YouTube I really think I could get into over-landing. I am a complete novice to overland and currently do not have a dedicated rig to overland but I do own an F-150 which I will start looking to modify to be both my everyday and overland vehicle. I joined overland bound to meet people, learn what equipment works best and just learn all the do’s and don’ts that are not in any book.

@djljr hey I grew up around sac. Was in fair oaks for high school at b.v and lived in rancho for a bit. How’s Cali treating you. Other than expensive :)
Hi, It's crowded and expensive. We've been in California our whole life and in Folsom for about 20 years. I would love to move out of state but my wife won't leave the kids...lol. Looks like we'll stick it out.

Umm can’t you take the kids with you lol. When do they turn 18 and can thus be kicked out of the nest?

Howdy everyone, I just purchased a member package but I’ve been a fan of overland bound for a couple years now. I’ve enjoyed watching all the YouTube videos to learn and expand my knowledge.
I live in Parker, Colorado (Denver metro), and currently drive a Subaru Crosstrek. Keeping my eyes peeled for a low miles FJ cruiser, Tacoma or 4Runner TRD. I want something more capable for all the awesome trails here in Colorado and the Rocky Mountain/Utah region.

New to forum but I've been doing this type of off-roading for 40 years. Had a 2wd Datsun (slight lift, tires, etc) in the late '70s that I took amazing places.

Current vehicles are:
1990 Ford F250: lifted 4" slightly bigger tires. Have had it 10+ years, my get out of town vehicle.
2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo: My wife's. 4" lift and a little bigger tires Limited off highway use as the wife wants to keep it nice.
1988 Wrangler :My son's. The Ford got him interested, now he's hooked.
1999 Grand Cherokee: Just picked it up for $1,100. This is going to be my main over-lander. Lots of plans, just need to get it mechanically sound as a base to start from.

Home Base is Modesto, Ca

I'm glad to find this forum and look forward to learn/share hear as I am on several others for the different vehicles.

Welcome! My son is 13 and I'm already trying to convince him that we should get him a Wrangler for when he gets his license. I will take good care of it until then. :D
