Hi all, glad to become part of this community. I am located in Bothell, WA just outside of Seattle. My rig of choice is a 1971 Jeepster Commando Oddfire V6 currently on the mend. I thought there was no time better than now to get with a community familiar with the goals I’m trying to reach for the rebuild. I am a novice to Overland but familiar with nature and just want to get deeper into it.

[Go Commando]

Thank you! It’s been in the family since the early 80’s and still enjoying it.

Welcome @Going Commando! It is always great to have another local (somewhat) joining OB. I recommend taking a look at the regional forums to find a local meetup.

Northwest (AK, ID, WA, OR) Region: Forum Link There is actually one coming up this Saturday on October 13th in Arlington: Rally Point Link
It would be awesome if you could make it... especially because I really want to see your commando in person. If you can't, that is Okay... there will be many more to come.

Thanks all for the welcome. The Commando isn’t running currently but can’t wait to get out there. I wish it was up and running otherwise I would be there to meet a few.

been up there a couple times , was neat to see it go from a gravel road to a set of trails . Years of hard work , meetings , tons of volunteers to get it to where it is now . I hope they can keep good relations with the forest service and expand to more trails . whenever your up there try to help out and pick up any trash you see .
I really can't wait to get my jeep done and take it on a test run up there :)

I think the engine finally gave out after 400,000 miles. I'm going to start breaking it down this weekend to see what happened.
