Hello! I have been a fan of OB for some time now and just today registered as a member. After parting with my Land Cruisers years ago (a 62 and an 80) and a few disruptive personal years that followed, things have settled somewhat (albeit amidst a pandemic) and I recently found myself a new-to-me '97 FJ80 for tripping/beaching/overlanding. It's got a fair few miles on it, and a short list of things to be addressed (because of course) but beyond that I am looking forward to building the truck up a bit and getting out with my son.

I'm really pleased to be able to join the community here, and I'd be keen to connect with other folks in New England as well.

Here's a pic from the obligatory christmas tree pickup a few weeks back.

Welcome James!
 
Hey, Argyle! Welcome. We are at a disadvantage, those of us in the Boston area. But there are good places to go if we are willing to drive, and this is a great resource

Totally - drag there isn't more like there is out west. Still, I figure a place like this is the best place to share info. Definitely want to get out there when/where ever possible.
