Let me know when you are planning on doing this. Im planning at trip to florida, then texas, and working my way to Nevada. I have army buddies in all places. Maybe I can join you before I leave in July/August.

Will do. I’ve got a couple of marines who might join as well. I’ll keep you updated. My email is Jason@JRIDesignBuild.com

Sorry for the delay in response. If I were you I would decide what type of exploring you would like to do with it. Are you gonna venture to fire roads and “unmaintained” gravel roads? Or are you planning something much more adventurous? If you are going with the fire roads route a small lift and tires will get you anywhere you wanna go, remember the forest service departments drive stock super duty’s and the like. Plus armor adds weight and if it’s a daily we all know the gas prices. At the end of the day it is your hard earned cash so spend it how you want. Just remember don’t get caught up in the overland whirlwind and buy things that you don’t need.
Sockmonkey,
I agree with your statement However I would add caution to the Unmaintained road portion
and advise some homework be done prior to heading down unmaintained roads.
As many of these around the country especially east coast are impassable by stock vehicles (not serviced or monitored by any agency).
Just my 2cents

I’m one to keep things as simple as possible. I’m not going to put things on my truck that I don’t need. I mostly plan on doing forest service roads and unmaintained roads but I still want to protect certain things like my oil pan and gas tank. When I build vehicles I build for function. I do appreciate your input though.

Hello there! I am originally from Cincinnati but currently live closer to Dayton now. Switched from a Tacoma to an F150 last year and haven’t gotten to get out much since but excited to find some events in the area and meet you guys!

Hello Pedro! I'm in Cincinnati. I'd like to meet up with some OB locals as well. There used to be a rigs and donuts event in Sharonville but I haven't seen it posted in awhile. Hope to get something set up soon!

@Caelleai @Dustinb80 @Pedro 6-1 I’m in a group in SW Ohio, but includes those from Indiana & Kentucky & Other areas of Ohio. We run meetups usually every 2 months, but we’ve not had one since May due to Trips & life changes for the main organizers. We’ll likely have one in August if you’re interested. You can check my signature on the site I’ll have the rally point linked there once we schedule it.

I’m in the Columbus area and would love to meet up someplace. Share trails and look at rigs is always a good time.

Awesome! I’ll definitely look for that link. And I’m going to see if I can get a Rigs-n-coffee type event going somewhere around here to meet more people. And get some trips planned.
This is from the Jeeps and coffee event in Trail quest last weekend. We’re having one the cars and coffee is hosting tomorrow. I should really get more active and post these events up!!!
