    US East OB Founding Member Meet Up - OB#500 or under ONLY, special invites will also be available upon approval

    #229 here, I'm in Northern Virginia and I am interested in seeing how this gets developed. For local trails and camps, we have Shenandoah National Forest and George Washington National Forest. The nearby off-road parks are Chaos, Twin Mountain, Gore, Anthracite, and Rausch Creek. If any further...

    2004 Nissan Xterra

    With some skill I think it would surely be possible. I'd play around with some photoshop ideas first though. But bumper guards for first gen Xterras are relatively cheap at junkyards so one could really practice with an actual product.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    After quite a while of not hitting the trails, I finally installed some much needed upgrades. Most importantly, I replaced the dead factory auto-locking hubs with Warn manual locking hubs, so I now have 4WD again. I also replaced the front sway bar bushings, idler arm, steering center link...

    2004 Nissan Xterra

    Yessir. I just used a dremel to cut away the sections on the bumper guard and popped off the lower air dam (brush guard). Since I'm on a 3" body lift (which came with a set of stock bumper guard relocation brackets), I cannot install any current aftermarket bumpers. I'll have to have a custom...

    2004 Nissan Xterra

    Picked this thing up in December 2014 and started playing around with upgrades that could support the goals of camping. Long story short, I discovered a wide range of off-road type recreation and have been building this thing since. I love this thing. Top picture 31 December 2014. Bottom...

    Advice on MaxTrax mounting on Gobi rack

    I'm looking into bracket mounting options for MaxTrax boards on my 04 Xterra with a Gobi Stealth. What brackets do you use and/or recommend? Thanks in advance! Moderators, my apologies if this is in the wrong sub forum.

    Old but new in northern va

    Welcome from Manassas. George Washington National Forest offers a huge area to trek, camp, etc. I used to live in Alexandria and it was about a three hour drive. You might have heard of Flagpole Knob in GWNF, likely the most popular location for everyone. In West Virginia there is a section of...

    Where did you install your OB emblem?

    On the lift gate wayyyy back in the day before I installed the rear tire swing out bumper that now conceals the emblem. I'll relocate it this weekend.

    New tent!

    Picked up the Eureka K2 XT tent from backcountry.com ( http://www.backcountry.com/eureka-k-2-xt-tent-3-person-4-season ) We tested it out in George Washington National Forest earlier in December 2015. Also field tested the Yeti in cold weather for the first time. Oddly (but not surprising)...

    Exploratory overlanding in the Appalachians

    Nice. Our trip included a Saturday night temperature of 19....and 26 the night before. Aside from that it was a very fun trip.
