Hey guys. My name is Justin. Former army, currently in Fredericksburg VA. Been creeping around and I’m thinking about getting into the overland thing. I drive a 2015 JKU rubicon. Haven’t done much work to her yet, just a roof rack I use for fishing rods. Other than that looking forward to it. View attachment 71065

Hey Justin! Welcome, and thank you for your service as well! I'm another NOVA member myself. The DMV area is actually becoming quite active on here, and with meetups and events off the site as well. We just had a nice group head down to Blue Ridge Overland Gear this past weekend for their swap meet and camping. It was a great time!
A couple things coming up that you may want to consider if you're not aware:
Oct 19-21 James River Rooftop Tent Rally
Nov 9-11 Overland Expo East in Ashville, NC
We have a number of members headed to both events from this area. You should consider going if you can!
Also, check out the Regional section on here, and jump into the East section, as well as the Trips and Events/OB Meetups/NOVA MD Monthly Meetups.....that's become very active recently!
Hope to see you out there!
*Also, highly jealous of your Anvil! I miss my old Anvil JKU!

Yeah, my main focus at the moment is a winch and bumpers. Since the Jeep is a commuter I want to keep it tame haha.

Good deal. Let us know if you think you want to caravan down for any of those events. We'll be making pitstops along the way.
Thanks for the offer! I’m tapped out at work for the RTT event. but yeah, by all means, if y’all ever do anything around this area please let me know. Nice rig btw.
Traveler III
Absolutely! And I completely understand work getting in the way. Keep tabs on the NOVA monthly meetup thread-that's the most active for this area. And thanks.....I appreciate the compliment on the rig! Looking forward to meeting up eventually!
