US East Northern VA / MD Monthly Meetups
- Thread starter MA_Trooper
- Start date
Hey everyone, I got wrangled into being the DMV rep with the promise of a free t-shirt. I haven’t gotten my shirt yet, but I guess I can introduce myself. We’ve had a few meet ups, this last year, 4 total, from 5.11 to Occoquan Park. The cars and coffee is a great idea, I would like to go on some day trips to local breweries, once a month. Maybe large overnight/weekend trip quarterly. We did Assateague last March, so that’s an option for beach driving.
Please feel free to reach out, if I can be of any assistance. I’m having trouble with the app on my phone and iPad, but I will check computer. Excited to meet more of you when things settle down

Anybody else going to the george Washington campout this weekend? The rally points been up for a bit and it doesn't sound like more than 3 or 4 of us are going out so there's plenty of room. And i put an air compressor system in a pelican case and hard mounted it to my roof rack.

The tank and compressor actually came as a kit on amazon, its vixen horns i think? I had the terminal board and box laying around for awhile though and figured I'd put it to use like this and if i don't like it, its easy to move around.
Enthusiast III
Yeah I liked the idea of the carry case model over engine compartment mounted model for ARB, but am considering more and more the engine bay mount since space is already limited in the back of my 4Runner.
Enthusiast III
Ya i would've done under hood, but space is actually kinda limited, and id have to get a different hose to go from compressor to tank. I wanted the tank so i can run air bags in the future. If you got the space its a good option, I'm surprised they do alright in there even with the heat.
Hey all... I found this website looking for really any non-paved road in Northern VA given that all the GWNF trails are closed due to the pandemic. I've seen references to Clifton, Dumfries, and a few others but can't find more details. I'm only a couple inches over stock, so no rock-crawling for me. I'm itching to get some mud on the tires, so if anyone has any suggestions centered around Fairfax, VA please let me know!

I'm in Centreville and i can't really think of anything, there was a little spot in sterling everyone called AOL because it was by the server farm. But thats been gated off now and they say theres cameras up.

To that aol place? It was mainly dirt bikes and atvs, jeeps would go every now and then but i didn't associate with them since i was on my bike. Unless they were stuck, we just kinda waved and did our own thing since it was a locals offroading area that had been around for decades. Jeeps would get stuck like crazy in there so it wasn't used by camping minded folks.
Good trek starting around Gainesville area, heading up toward rte 50. Few paved roads but mostly gravel and beautiful horse country.

Hello everybody, been at home for the last 3 weeks furloughed so getting lots of home projects done. I hope I find you all safe and well. If not for this horrible situation we find ourselves in if this is what retirement is like I can handle it.
Enthusiast III
Sorry to hear that! I'm WFH so i definitely lucked out... although I'm starting to miss my office.
Testing out the beta app also btw... should be interesting.
Enthusiast III
Maybe on a couple months we can set something up like a weekend bbq meet. I know we're all itching to get out there... just not sure we should.

Hope this finds everyone doing well - just figured I’d check in since it’s been awhile. I was working in South Beach, Miami when things went south with the virus and was quarantined/restricted there for the last four weeks. Just got back this week and am thrilled to finally be back home with my family. I hope all of my friends here are doing well - hoping this passes in short order and we can all get back out there!
