SEE THE NEW THREAD HERE: https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/reoccurring-western-virginia-roanoke-meet-up-next-meet-up-11-10-19.21041/ OK guys, I'm reworking this thread for regular monthly meets instead of starting a new one. The Kickoff was great and I hope we can keep this going...

Hate you took a beating but that does happen. That's the nice thing about 9" axles, parts are plentiful! We had to source a pair of shafts on our last Uwharrie trip on a Saturday morning. Luckly we found some stashed in the rafters of an old timer's shed in his junk yard.

So my Xterra forum buddy and I were the only ones who showed up today. We still had a good meal and a cold brew. I wasn't able to go riding, after lunch I got a call that the wife was on the way to the hospital with the oldest of the offspring so I had to head out and see what that was all...

Can you elaborate on this please?

I'll be putting up info on next month's meetup as soon as I've got it all figured out. Hope you can make it out! For the rest of you, just a reminder that we're meeting at Mac & Bob's in Salem at 1:30! Possibly a little ride over in Craig County afterward! Come on out and let's all get to know...

Donnie and the gang swung by the house this morning to air up and decide on their route today. They happened to pick a road that I have been meaning to check out for some time but chance just hadn't taken me over that way yet. Since it was a quiet morning here I followed them across the mountain...

Not to take away from his wife's shop, but just to test it out on the trail, we used to just roll up a dish towel for our kids. It worked pretty well for the mild- med trails we used to run in my old Cherokee. Our oldest was probably 3-4 months old when we first started taking her out on the...

I'm going to an amateur radio club auction Saturday, then I guess I'll be heading up the informal "first" Western Va OB Meetup and possibly hitting a trail or two. Guess we'll see!

Those are pretty neat looking little rides and I like the color on yours. Sadly they are just too small for my family. The Cherokee would be the smallest vehicle we could consider and my wife has been considering one when she goes back to work after finishing her RN in a few years. Looking...

I currently have a TYT TY-9800 I just picked up in my Xterra and an Icom IC-2100H in my truck. I want Kenwood TM-D710GA in both eventually and would like to have a TS-480SAT in the Xterra for HF+6. But that's a ways down the road yet.

Hop on over to the meetups forum and check out the Western Va thread! Are you talking about The Pines campground on Barborus Creek Road? I'm on my phone so I can't quickly check those coords.

Everybody with kids! You should see mine crawl around on the sides of my step side pickup. They are wearing the paint thin on top of the fenders. I love that color man. I've always been a sucker for that work truck beige. When I was 12 we pulled my grandpa's old 76 Chevy C10 out of the weeds...

I've been meaning to order the new one but generally carry my old copy of the Repeater Book one as well. I guess I'll put that on my to do list for the weekend.

OK guys, here's what's going on Saturday, April 22nd. Meeting at Mac and Bob's in Salem, Virginia at 1:30pm. I'll probably be there a bit early and probably be parked at the back of the lot on the E Calhoun St end if there's room there. I'm planning on being in my Blue Xterra. After lunch, a...

This kind of stems from a discussion @yabbaz and I were having this morning and it got me thinking. So this thread isn't to discuss the merits of any one means of communication, rather to just gauge what the community has available as a whole. I figured a poll would be easiest. If I missed any...

I look for things on sale or second hand. Are you solo camping? There are lots of videos and instructions that show how to setup a tarp as a tent and I also have a hammock setup. There's also always sleeping in your car. I never had any complaints about my $30 Igloo cooler from Walmart for the...

I didn't even realize this was a thing! I'll have to look into this some more.

Sounds good! We'll try to get together sometime and work that out.

It just carried me to work today. I scheduled my time with Nissan to have the timing tensioner shoes, water pump and radiator replaced soon. They ordered the parts and will set a date when they arrive. Hopefully this'll get me ready for another 150k miles!

Hello and welcome!
