That's awesome!

Hello everyone! Getting started here, I've talked with some people around the Roanoke area and it looks like this has become official with @Chris Jones asking me to get this going. We've been given a large area to cover here guys so I'm going to ask everyone to be patient with me as things are...

I had one of the fire stick 4' antennas and I really wasn't a fan of it. Maybe a short one mounted high would be better but the long one was heavy and the springs I could find either wouldn't control it or wouldn't allow any give. I have a short SS whip with a base coil that I use on a mag...

I'm near Roanoke and have talked with some of the locals in the past about getting together locally but nothing has happened yet. A good bit of my weekends are taken up with family related stuff but I can usually make plans with a little notice.

Pin striping from use on the trails! You'll figure out what mods you need after using it some. Have fun out there! But, protection is NEVER a bad idea. Skids and sliders are generally worth their cost.

The wife and I were in DC this weekend for a concert. It was my first time in DC and wasn't bad. I'm a country bumpkin, hillbilly if you will, but I had a great time. Really enjoyed the metro! Appealed to the train lover as well as might slight OCD toward efficiency. This weekend we're...

@yabbaz Was just looking at the map and the area we've been talking about could easily cover most of the state as a meeting spot. It's about 2hr from Winchester, Norfolk, and Roanoke. It still kind of leaves Southwest Va out in the cold though but there aren't many people down that way. Or we...

Just bought a good set of second hand rear Radflo shocks for the Xterra and I'm getting ready to order a new tent when we get home from DC.

I like that setup! Seems like it would make packing it in a vehicle nicer than trying to stow a soft pack.

Picked up a Coleman Powerhouse lantern and Powerhouse stove for $30 of the local yard sale page. Just tried the lantern or and other than needing a snugging of the packing, it worked great!

Ah, OK.

Right now I have a home brewed CO2 setup. A soda machine tank with the Wheelers Offroad regulator and a nice Goodyear rubber hose. It works good, I used it to air up my 33" Boggers a couple times when I had them. The safety (displaces oxygen if the disc blows, no bueno in the cabin) ...

Which direction are you running that track? You are literally circling my house. I'd be up for about everything in the Bath/Alleghany/ Craig/ Botetourt county except Potts Jeep Trail, as a driver at least. There are several roads there I've been on a bunch and some I've been wanting to check...

I had wanted to get a Rubicon this year but those plans have since changed due to budget. However, I'd buy the Rubicon if I were you. If you want a lift, get the lift installed by Jeep as well, it's covered under the factory warranty. I think the Rubicon is worth the money. The D44 in the...

@DeltaNine @Grant H @Darrell @Riley Newsom @Morrisdl Thought you guys might like to see this if you haven't already.

I could be in up for that! I'm not familiar with those trails though, I'd imagine they are pretty stock friendly? Were you thinking dispersed camping or is there a campground in that area?

What part are you thinking? That's a pretty broad swath of Virginia. I live pretty much right in the junction.

I think you and I talked about this before, but I used to go there as a kid with my parents and my wife and I spent our first anniversary there. It's been several years since I've gotten off the interstate in Marion though. I think last time was to get some Carharts from the Army/Navy store...

That's too true Moak, but we could still manage a couple days of at least hitting one dirt road and getting to see some beautiful scenery. I don't have the time or money right now to do a lot so I've been doing day trips around my area checking out what there is to offer. I've found some really...

No good, apparently no one studied?!?
