Welcome to Overland Bound Austin.
Flying in is an interesting way to overland, we met some people at Byrds Adventure Center last year that did it regularly and had flyins just for that reason.

The wife has been hounding me for years to go camping for years but I really wasn’t interested in roughing it since I left the military. Looking at some of these setups and not being surrounded by a bunch of people has gotten my attention.

Hidy Ho Neighbor.
I'm Mike from Salt Lake, meet Clifford. She's only 2wd and bits me in the butt regularly.
A rudimentary rig with a simple bed in the back and a bunch of totes for gear.

Currently in the market for a 1997-99 Suburban that's worth the effort to build proper!!

I grew up in my Dad's 1995 and have a soft spot for those trucks. But maybe a GMT800 would be easier to own?
Look forward to learning from all ya'll.

Definitely excited to join. Colorado native and grew up camping in the mountains. Moved to west FL years ago had a family and here I am lol. Trying to get my kids and family out in the forest and to enjoy the outdoors like I do. Hiking, fishing, kayaking, camping are definitely on our agendas. I've been working on an unusual build for the family wagon offroader... I have a 2019 Kia Sorento lx v6 AWD, added a 2" lift, Yokohama geolander AT tires, alluminum front skid plate is on it's way from turkey... the interesting thing about th he kia is there are more options for offroad upgrades oversees. But I'm working with what I've got and enjoying it. The pic I attached of my white Sorento is mostly stripped down since it was the day it came back from the lift shop. Will be loaded back up again next month for our camping trip to north west FL. The fully loaded pick is from a build done in Australia. #goals. Thanks again and I look forward to being involved and hopefully meeting some like minded people down here in FL

What’s going on everyone!

Name: Gary “Zilla”
Rig: 2017 Silverado Z71
Location: Fort Worth, TX, USA
Offroad Experience: Intermediate
Overland Experience: Novice

About me: USAF Veteran, Hydraulic/Diesel Mechanic, Photographer, R/C Builder

Why Overland? Growing up my dad had a Jeep YJ that we took wheeling every once in a while and most of my favorite times were in the outdoors. He didn’t stick with it long but I now have my own son that I’ve been creating memories with and want him to experience the great outdoors and go on adventures. My other half and her daughter also love the outdoors and cleaning up the environment. So I’m wanting to expand my adventures and go camping outdoors and be able to rely on ourselves, even if it’s one weekend a month.
Pumped to see where we end up!

Hi my name is Kris, I currently reside in Middle GA. I drive a 2015 Ram 1500 and pull 1101A trailer with a RTT on top. I enjoy getting out in to nature by any means possible, preferably the easiest. Hoping to find more trails to explore.

Rig: primary rig is a 2019 Tacoma TRD Offroad. It is stock right now, but I am in the process of outfitting it to an overland rig. It has been my plan to do this from the beginning. Unfortunately, COVID got in the way. My secondary/bug out rig is a 2020 Winnebago Revel 4x4

Experience: I am a complete novice in overlanding although I have camped and done some non-recreational offroad stuff. Basically, I had to go places in Central America where there were no roads. Nothing technical, just mud

Greetings from the Chicagoland area. Used to live in the city limits, but these days I'm out of the city and crook county. I'm a novice to overlanding with the extent of my experience going down some rough Forest Service gravel roads. My rig is an 07 4Runner with a 2.5" lift with associated upgraded parts. View attachment 175267

I've been wanting to get into some offroading when I got the car even getting Cooper AT3 tires when I had to replace them a few years back. Now of course I'm eyeing the budget and considering upgrading to 33's but that's gonna have to wait til the tires need replacing next year. I'm looking to get into overlanding more hence joining this site. I'm looking forward to reading the vast information contained here.

New member just signed up today! I’m excited to be involved in the overlanding community. Me and my family (wife and two children) love being outdoors whether it be hiking, camping or off-road we love it. We have a 2017 jeep jku lifted 3.5 inches and 35 inch mud tires. We have a bunch of the other standard upgrades such as steel bumpers and other items as well. We love to help people and we are looking forward to being included in any meetups wheeling adventures or helping anyone in need. I have an super excited to have learned about the other members all over the world and to learn new things from everyone in this awesome community!

Cheers
Jim

Hey Everyone!

Name: Chi
Rig: 2020 Land Rover Defender HSE
Location: Philadelphia, PA & Iceland (go back and forth 2 to 4x a year but not this year, unfortunately)
Offroad Experience: Intermediate
Overland Experience: Novice

About me: Huge photographer nut which is why I travel to Iceland often. If you're on Instagram, I'm "CHIDITTY" which is the same handle name on here. I'm also a National Parks fan. First National Park I ever went to was Zion National Park back in 2014 and I instantly fell in love - not only for the park itself but the entire National Park system and what they stand for.

Why Overland? While I am an avid camper, I have very little to no experience Overlanding. I have done a lot of offroading in the Highlands in Iceland but I wouldn't say I'm an expert. But upon my purchase of my Defender, this has motivated me to explore the world of Overlanding. I have several trips planned for later this year and next which includes having my Defender shipped out to the West Coast as well as, you guessed it - Iceland! Very excited to finally take my own vehicle rather than renting one.

Overall, I'm very excited to be part of this group and very much looking forward to learning to learning a lot from everyone here!
