Hello everyone, new to the group, not new to overlanding or offroading. Is the local meetup at BVORR? I went there years ago with another club.
I have a lot of projects I need to fix before I can wheel again, but for light trail riding, I have my s10, I mainly take it to the beach as it's my daily.
I work a lot right now, so I'm usually gone on the weekends but hoping I can meetup eventually.
My vehicles
1985 Ram W350, project and needs a lot to complete.
1985 Ramcharger, needs injection pump sealed, so it's down for now.
2002 Zr2 S10, daily, so only light wheeling.
2004 Suburban, stock, so only good for camping and light trails.
My goal is to build my Ram and take it to the rockies and camp up there. I want to do the passes like Imogene and Black bear. But too many projects at the moment, so I mainly watch others on youtube and slowly plan out my build and collect parts.

Welcome to the heard, a lot of the meetups are at the beginning of the month. I will actually be in town this time so im going to try to make at least one of them. I haven't been to BVORR in years. Took a jeep out there, remember having a pretty good time.

I'm in the Rigs and Churros FB group, I haven't made it to an event since I'm usually working or have other plans, but one day I will.

Oh nice! Yea I’ve been looking in to building my 2 door jeep to over land in. I’m probably trying to set out for my first over land trip next December. Definitely looking to get out before then to try out anything I have added.

OnX offroad. There are a ton of.... trails? So this will get you from the border to mostly across via gravel roads and fire trails. Sam houston has a few, 87 run from Beaumont to bolivar (all beach bit of mud... gross but fun), then the offroad parks for break-in and balance testing. Not much in the way of "overland" in this neck of the woods. Dirt roads to campsites mostly. But if you want to test your gear, may know a few spots you can drive to. Keep your weight low in the jeep or keep the lift short. On road is whatever, off-camber offroad is where the problems will start. When top heavy rigs unload the suspension, control goes straight out the window.

Honestly don’t have nothing really done to my jeep just yet besides 35s lol so I won’t overland till next year when I’ll have mostly everything done to my jeep. I’ll be heading back home to Arizona so I know there’s a ton of overlanding trails out that way.

I'm just a wheeler with a camping problem. I run factory suspension, 33s, and have a winch I'm not afraid to use. A jeep is more than capable factory to tackle just about everything you'll see here. Get out and explore. A cooler, a camp stove, and a ground tent can carry you a week. You're never far enough out to extra fuel cans or need a solid weeks worth of food, just hit the store on the way by.

Yea when i use to live in Arizona we did a lot of wheeling around the Buckeye, AZ area so definitely not afraid to wheel, unless it calls for some sort of lift since im stock on 35s lol. I'm definitely up for some trails around Texas when I'm in town since most of the stuff around us requires to go to an OHV park.
