Hello forum members. Name is Jason hailing from Pacifica, CA, and I have pretty much finished my build on my 2010 Wrangler Rubicon. Not much to do when it comes a electric sway bar disconnect, dual Dana 44s with e-lockers! Just a lift, wheels, tires, winch, and you're all set. Completed a trip through the Rubicon trail, solo through the spring melt. Just added a top notch iKamper RTT and built an overland trailer... voila, its an RV for my family.

@Claminator welcome to Overland Bound, the number one stop for all the Overlanding Information you can handle. like @Kent R said, he is the North West Regional Director, @Gabriel Bozeman is the closest Member Representative to you.

Check out Overland Bound Meetups for current activities planned throughout the Northwest Region, as well as the rest of the world.

Some important dates to for the year:

June 18-21 Northwest Overland Rally 2020, in Plain, Washington. Presale tickets are offers now through the end of March, be sure to grab them at the discounted rates. If you want to camp with fellow OB members, RSVP here, so I can make sure to get you in on the OB Camp Site.

July 3-6 4th of July Weekend at 2 rivers Ranch in Dayville, Oregon hosted by @2RiversRanchExpeditions. This is going to be a fun weekend with potluck dinner the first night, drive through the small town of Dayville in the 4th of July parade, fallowed by a 3 day trail run with two other remote camping spots, seeing country that the public doesn’t usually get to see.

Very Nice and welcome to Overland Bound. As @Kent R stated I am one of your U.S. West Member Representatives. Please feel free to contact me at anytime, if you have any questions or concerns. You can also contact our Regional Director @Narbob, or your other Member Representative @PapaDave if the need arises.

Be sure to browse through the New member threads for some very good information and it will also help you when navigating the OB website.

Check out Rally Points and the Calendar for monthly meet-ups, trail runs and trainings. These are great places to meet other like minded people.

Also in March there is a scheduled Mojave Road trip planned. This trip is scheduled for March 12-16th and it is a combination trail run and trail clean-up. This will be a great place to meet a lot of new members because it has been designed for this purpose. If you have never been on the Mojave Road it is not a hard trail, but it is super beautiful. You can find all the details on Rally Points.

Look forward to meeting you out on the trail.

Howzit, my name is Jon

Living out in Tracy, Ca at the moment

I drive an orange 2014 Subaru Crosstrek. Nothing much done to it aside from a set of Black Rhino Boxer wheels wrapped in Grabber at2’s.

Not much experience, mostly just small trails and mud pits.

Excited to meet some new people, and go on some new adventures!
