Hello Everyone, we were talking about going to Mack’s Canyon for a quick overnight but I was up there is weekend and it was PACKED! I’m thinking we could do a day trip to Torquerville falls near the end of the month. I’ll get the dates and time posted soon!

Greetings LV OB Crew,

I'm Jeff from Summerlin, NV and new member of OB. Old retired military codger that's been running outback most of my life. I have a variety of rigs that I use depending on the application:
  • 2004 Ford F250 SuperDuty 4X4 Diesel
  • 2000 Range Rover P38
  • 1986 Volkswagen Vanagon Syncro Tin Top
I have lived all over the states and wheeled in most of them but I really enjoy the Sierra Nevada range where I grew up. Been in Vegas for 15 years and looking forward to attending some LV Group events and getting my daughter involved.

Cheers

Anyone have any interest checking out the old Colosseum Mine sometime this month? I’ve never been and was thinking sometime after Toquerville Falls. Let me know if anyone wants to join and I’ll put out a proper “Rally Point” invite....

Hello everyone!
I am Pat from Centennial hills area. Just joined the forum and thinking about becoming a member. Still fairly new to the overlanding thing and off roading in general but have had several rigs in the past 15 or so years. Been in Vegas for the past 25 years with about 5 years in Albuquerque mixed in.
I have an 85 Toyota xtra cab SR5 that I use as a daily driver. It has a mild 2 inch OME suspension with 31s.
My other rig is a 95 Toyota FZJ80 Land cruiser that I bought last year to do some overlanding travel with. It's still in stock condition with OME stock height springs and Bilsteins and 32 inch Duratrac tires. I've been doing some maintenance baselining and repairs the past year and got it in pretty good shape. It is triple locked so it'll probably get me in to more trouble than I want!

Looking forward to meeting up with everyone and joining some of the runs.

Here are a couple of pics of our trucks.
You know the big problem with the locked 80’s is how unreliable they are. You should sell it to me so you don’t have to risk it. I will be more than happy to take on such a burden for a friend:)

On a serious note, Beautiful trucks! I’ll keep you posted on events!

Hello everyone I just joined the forum and am fairly new to overlanding. I’m born and raised in Las Vegas and am looking forward to getting out and exploring the area. Had a Rav 4 that I took out a little bit, but just upgraded to a 2016 4Runner SR5 Premium. Still a novice and looking forward to meeting others in the area.

I’m a pit boss at a casino and work weekends and holidays, but hopefully will be able to participate in some of the meet ups at some point.

Thanks,
Jordan

When is the next meet up? Maybe coffee this weekend? The REI parking lot on Rampart and Charleston is huge and has multiple coffee spot options!
Saw the post on FB and I hope you have a good meet & greet! I also sent a message to the LV meet-up organizers about this page.
