Hi,

Medicine Hat, ALberta here. I have a couple of rigs. A 2012 Jeep JK that I’ve done numerous mods to, and a 2019 Colorado ZR2. I have an off road trailer with RTT. I’ve been off-roading a longtime, and overlanding since 2011.

Hello!

So here I am very proud to be officially patched and so glad to join the great OB community!!
I'm Patrick, from France, and I live in the Alps (Lyon area).
My rig is a 2006 Land Rover Discovery3 (LR3) TDV6 which I use on a daily basis and also with great passion during all my overland trips across France and Europe.
I consider myself a medium well experienced overlander after a lot of trips, but each day remains a school day so I always learn how to improve experience and getting ever more fun and satisfaction.
She is mostly stock but has just had some equipment making her even more capable and/or protected while overlanding : a decent remap, a dual battery system, A/T tires, under-body and lights protections.
She pretty roomy, so the actual configuration is based upon a ARB fridge, all the useful needed stuff being stocked in stackable boxes and an OZ-tent.
As we're keen to more far and long trips with needs for jerricans and water supply, a roof rack and a roof tent will be added in the future...hopefully!

Kindest regards and wishing you all a great day and huge overlanding times !!
Patrick

Hello everyone! My name is John and I live in the Houston-Galveston area in Texas. I have just pulled the trigger on membership even though I have been a forum member for a couple of years. I retired at the end of January 2019 and one of my retirement goals is to get out and explore this great country. Having grown up in Arkansas I have done some camping and travelled a lot of dirt roads but I consider myself new to overlanding. I have learned a lot already from Michael and other Overland Bound members and look forward to learning more. My vehicle is a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado ZR2. I have added a shell to keep gear out of the weather, a winch, skids, refrigerator, and dual battery. Looking firward to getting out so suggestions are welcome.View attachment 130551

My name is Nathaniel, and I drive a Vehicross. Now onto the pre-formatted and recommended brief introductory info.
2) Location (General area is fine)- Minneapolis, MN.
3) Rig (Year, Make, Model, etc.)- 1999 Isuzu Vehicross. 3" Lift with 33" tires. Everything else is basically stock except for heavy duty steering links; learned the hard way and broke a stock link on my first rock crawling adventure several years ago.
4) Overlanding Experience Background (Novice or Experienced, you're welcome here!)- Novice. Technically no overlanding experience as I would describe it. A few off roading and rock crawling weekends, lots of car camping in various vehicles throughout the years (including the VX), experienced backpacker and primitive camper (leave no trace, wilderness survival), and I know lots of knots (Eagle scout).View attachment 130549

Thats it for now. Looking forward to being more active in the community and on the forums! Now just have to make it through the MN winter...

PS definitely ask me about the Vehicross. I always wanted one, and picked mine up about 8 years ago. The love has only gotten stronger.

Hello I’m a bit new to overlanding , I’ve done a little off-roading before and enjoy camping as much as possible! I finally got another 4wd vehicle and figured over landing can combine a few things I like into one great activity!

[Neonsnow78]

Good afternoon everyone!!!! I’m Ed from southeast Massachusetts!

my current rig is a 1996 Toyota Runner with 216k on that I absolutely love lol.... not rot busy she has some rust here and there and slowly making a solid safe able vehicle for off-roading overlanding. Not much overlanding experience to say but I do love camping, take motorcycle camping and kayak camping trips when I can. Also have been in the Army reserves for 20years so the outdoors is nothing new really, but this aspect sort of it. I will enjoy going through allllll the information on the site and hopefully meet up with people soon enough!!

 

[FX4Overlander]

Hello everyone. Name's Dave. Discovered Overlanding by accident and I'm totally addicted. I'm not a Rock Crawler kind of guy I'm more interested in exploring off the beaten path and seeing the things that you wouldn't normally see from the paved roads.

 

[Supe]

Hey everyone-

Just joined from Illinois. Looking to explore with my wife and kids. Most of my camping/wheeling has been Michigan and New England.

I’m building up my 2013 JK and looking to get out in the wild.

 

[benweins]

Hi everyone! Just joined, from Iowa. New to overlanding, planning to start small. Just bought a new-to-me 2005 Ford Explorer, v8, with only 93k miles! Build will focus on practical items at first as it is also my daily driver, and then eventually lift, roof rack, ect. Bought the explorer today, after making sure I had insurance the first purchase was a set of WeatherTech custom floor mats!

 

[Lilonie]

Hello All!

I'm Emilio from the bay area California. I'm just getting into overlanding but have had this 1999 Toyota Tacoma TRD 4x4 for about five years now. I've taken this stock rig on many great adventures through the Oregon back country while I lived in Eugene. I finally have the means to build this truck out and am looking forward to some amazing adventures to come. Please enjoy these pictures of the rig after its first major suspension overhaul (King coilovers, Total Chaos UCAs, OME rear leaf setup, and fox rear shocks). Just the start ;)
