Nik, welcome to the OB community. So whereabouts in GR do you live? I lived nearly 20 years in Wyoming, Mi., until I moved to Oregon in 2003.

Hi Dylan! Welcome from Tulsa Nice JT!

 

[Ohio Boo]

Saying thanks for letting me in and hello from Ohio. Been wondering around the country since the early 90's. Started overlanding before the buzzword overlanding was around in my '91 YJ. The last 10+ years have been in my '09 JKU. Now over 200,000 miles are on the odometer.
4-1/2" AEV lift that has morphed into a custom long arm suspension for a more comfy ride (don't tell the AEV folks, lol).
Dana 44's, lockers, and 37" coopers that roll around and around.
A Warn 8274 because I like the older stuff too. I think it was built in 1984.
Custom drawer thingy built in the back to try and keep me organized
I do the wrenching on it since I like the idea of built not bought.

Oh, and a little trailer that gets pulled behind me sometimes. It's kinda fun too.

Hey guys!
My names Tyler, I'm currently live in Graham Washington
I drive a 2019 diesel chevy zr2
I'd say I'm right between novice and experienced when it comes to offroading. I've done a few trips with the truck so far, including half of the WABDR. hope to meet some locals!

Tyler, Welcome to the group. We are located not too far north of you on Camano Island, always good to see more local folks joining. Great looking rig, & bonus points for being diesel powered. Hope to see you on the trails one day. Dave & Michelle

Hi everyone,

I joined ages ago but got a little distracted, but finally here's my intro.

I've got a defender 110, shes ex British military but not standard military spec. Shes my daily drive and a rolling project... its a Landy so its a constant fight against corrosion here in the UK.

Ive done some big trips but no real off roading as yet. The biggest trip to date was from the UK to the Czech Republic via Holland and Germany, it was ace.

I do all my own spannering so if i can help anyone i will and am happy to give advice.
