Just signed up and look forward to seeing what I can learn from the members here and hopefully pass on some knowledge of my own. I am from the Orlando FL area and my rig is a '09 Hummer H3 Alpha. I have done numerous mods but will go into those in another thread. I have been wheeling since getting my first H3 back in early '06 and the past several years have been focusing more on overlanding. We have a good group of individuals that do at least one week long trip a year. The last was back in May where we hit SC, NC, GA and TN. Looking forward to many more adventures.

A few shots of my rig from the past few years. Been a few mods since these were taken.

Welcome, @MarkW It looks like you have a great place to get off the pavement not *too* far from you. We don't have many members with Hummers here yet, so it will be interesting to see what you do with it, and where you go exploring.

I'm glad you found us,
Steve

Thanks for the welcome @Steve looking forward to seeing what the members here are up to. We do have a few good forest near by and a good off road park but for the really good stuff and scenery we have to travel north.

Thanks, I love that shot. If I didn't know any better I would think it was down in south America or somewhere like that. We try to find a ferry along our overland routes when possible.

Welcome to the group. I'm all the way down in FL but have wheeled out in your area several times with friends. You have some great places to go out there.
