US East Northern VA / MD Monthly Meetups

I looked at some review videos after posting and it did not seem to impressive for the price point. Specially when they started talking about the classes.
Yeah I'm not sure I agree with the price point but it's a decent sized deal on the east coast so I'm always interested. If they updated the classes and maybe lowered the price I'd be more likely to go.

MAOF is okay. That's where Wook and I met a couple years ago. Didn't go last year because was pretty busy. Maybe this year but too far out to tell now. The OEX trainer guys are there.

I would imagine that MAOF will be almost double in size this year compared to last year, if not bigger, only because the community is growing at an incredibly fast pace, and so many more people are hearing the term, and learning about, overlanding. For example, the Roof Top Tent Rally this year by BROG.....almost 3 times the size from last year!

Yeah good point I bet you're right. Wonder if it just turns into another Overland Expo with expensive tickets, and nothing but new vendors. Not really the picture of overlanding I imagine.

Not sure where else on the forum to post this, so mods- please delete if not appropriate for this section.

I would like to find a local source for scrap steel sheet metal and plate. I am restoring an xj and, well...you know. So I need 16-18 gauges sheet and 3/16 - 1/4 plate, really anything bigger than a 6 inch square plate is going to be very useful. Much thanks for any help!!
 
geekyadam , I’ve got a FJ Cruiser with a few upgrades, nothing crazy. Looking at doing suspension next.

I mostly wanted to build a car for bad weather and came across overlanding and now it seems like I am starting to develop a somewhat expensive upgrade bug.

Right on!

I’m in a similar boat. Wanted 4x4 for northeast winters... and happened across this hobby. [emoji4][emoji4]
