catching up...I am in the Gaithersburg area...also had to replace the FJ this year, now running a 2019 4Runner TRD Pro. Look forward to meeting some you soon along the trail. Thanks, Chon

Greetings all, I have been away for awhile now from OB, I am glad there is some local (Maryland based) interest. I did get a new rig this past year as the FJ finally had to be retired. Running a 2019 4Runner TRD Pro, still have some work to do, but it has been reliable and I am looking forward...

I was looking forward to this, but the rig is down for repairs after a weekend on Flagpole Knob in Harrisonburg, VA. Between alternator and break issues about $1500 of work I have put into getting the rig back up. At least the issues did not occur until after I was off the mountain. So my plans...

Looking forward to more details, would like to go. But I need to do some scheduling first for work. Thanks for setting this up.

ALL, Especially the Maryland folks that like the beach, check our Bear Wrangler's posting of the August 25 Rally at Assateague. It is in the East section of Rally Points. This is a great way to close out the summer and meet some of us that have been planning to get together for some time. I...

Tom, Awesome, thanks for taking the lead and planning this great rally opportunity. The family loves Assateague and spending the day on the beach will be a great way to close out summer. I look forward to meeting fellow off-road and overland enthusiasts and perhaps planning additional rallies in...

Hi Mikey, I am new to the OB group but I saw your post, I am in Maryland (Gaithersburg area). There are a handful of other OB around this part of MD. But Always looking to meet up for a day trip...outside of the OHV parks in PA/VA the best places I have found are GW National Forest in VA...in...

Hello All, So being new to the group I am just getting caught up on all the things going on. I understand the OTG 2017 is planned for the last weekend in September. But am I correct no specific location has been established? If planning is still on going for a location I would add my couple...

Hi Conrad, First of all I hope this reply gets to you, I think I may have a reply to Jeff_in_MD mixed up in my first forum reply... Anyhow, I saw your intro and nice FJ...can you tell what make/model is your trailer. It looks like a great combo for your rig. Thanks for sharing. Chon #5703

Hello All, My name is Chon, that is old Celtic for Chonn, pronounced "Conn" today. However, the parents dropped an N and pronounce the Ch like Cheech and Chong. Anyone remember that comedy duo of the 70's? I live in Montgomery Village, Maryland within the greater Washington, DC area. I am...

Hello Michael, I received your initial email welcome and would ask for the account upgrade. My membership order number is 7887, but I do not know what my number would be yet? Thanks for getting us started. Thanks, Chon
