Welcome to the group. Hopefully there will be some trips in the near future. Just got my front bumper w/winch and LED fog lights installed today. Rear bumper and roof rack are later this week when the rain stops.

Anyone doing anything this weekend? I had planned on running Flag Pole with a couple Xterra guys but they had to back out because of mechanical issues.

There are a couple people going to flag pole this weekend. It’s on Rally Point.

Welcome back Mike!!! I’ve been MIA myself too since last we met up. (Tundra w/ busted steering rack, David) as of now I’m free for 1st weekend, and on 3rd weekend I have Sunday free.

My weekends are up in the air right now. Could probably do a coffee meet up. Offroad trips are in hold for me until further notice due to work.
A little off-topic but this picture reminded me of @Nick80

Someone grabbed a tail shot of our three Xterras coming off the top of the mountain:

That was so much fun. It was nice to see the mix of vehicles. Even a Ford Raptor.

I like the Raptor s but fitting them on trails around this area your looking for trail damage.

Hey all!
I’m new to the OB community and live in the Alexandria area. I’ve been looking through this thread a little but looking to know if there’s a standing, reoccurring meet. If so, when/where?
Thanks and hopefully I’ll be able to come out for some wheeling!

Hey urbanoverland and welcome!
We try to do a meet at least once a month for coffee and kinda planning things out. Usually it's in Clifton VA, as there are a couple of spots to get a little mud on the tires nearby without having to drive out to the mountains. Right now I have one planned to meet at the Main Street pub at 830/9 for kind of cars/coffee type deal Sat May 5th. So feel free to come out for that!
cheers,
Mike
Difficult, I’m sure. But I was told he didn’t have any damage other than flipped mirrors and pin stripes. Sometimes us big dudes have to go slower. But that’s why I’m not comfortable going wheeling without somebody that can tell me when I should pass on a particular trail. I don’t mind circling around and waiting for the group at the next intersection if possible or being given a route to get back out on my own.
I did Taskers Gap with a buddy a while ago and it was easy but tons of fun. Then they turned into a trail going up the mountain but advised me that I may not want to take my truck up there. So I jumped into one of their rigs and off we went. Good thing I did. Definitely too tight for my Tundra, but his Tacoma made it through except for a busted tail light which was his fault for being silly. The Ford Broncos did some battles with trees but that was their purpose so all good.
