Finally got around to getting a membership!

Little bit about me, I bought a 2 Door JK fresh off deployment in 2012 when I first found out about overlanding. Dream goal was to eventually move to Arizona and get the RTT and set out for adventures. Mostly did some light offroading/camping in the Appalachians until I could make that happen. Got out of the military and eventually found my way from the East Coast to AZ last January. Loved every second of being here so far, and in November I was finally able to get a RTT.

I've got a 2008 Wrangler with a 2.5" Teraflex lift running 33" BFG A/Ts with a bunch of KCs(currently off, getting warrantied) tacked on. Got the KMS Congo Pro and Tepui Ayer 2 put on in November. She's currently in the dealership because it won't stop eating clutch slave cylinders, but I'm dying to get back out there. And to get it back period as it's also my daily.

Done all of the Blue Ridge Parkway/Skyline in VA, just about every trail in George Washington National Forest, the Outer Banks in NC, and just now getting around to exploring the Southwest. Never thought I'd actually ever get to Moab but managed a short trip there in December and immediately fell in love with it. Looking forward to getting know y'all and getting out there!

I'll drop some of my favorite pics below, got more on my IG @flight93offroad 2018-06-24 16.05.54.jpg 2018-04-28 21.44.56.jpg IMG_20181222_153444_798.jpg2017-06-12 01.02.12.jpg

Welcome, I'm based out of Tucson just north of you! We have a very strong membership here in Arizona. Come say hello in the Arizona Overlanders thread, that's the main jumping off point where events in our state are typically discussed and planned.
