Neebie to the forums, I'm a proud Jeep owner for a few years now but never had it off road yet as I live in the city, thats about to change as I'm planing a overland trip this summer. I'm planing on driving the southwest through New Mexico, Colorado, Arizona, Nevada and maby Cali if money work out. Until then I am working on getting my Jeep back on the road, it's a 1990 YJ Wrangler with a 1981 AMC 258 (4.2l straight 6). I hope to make new friends and pick y'alls minds about overlanding and back country camping. Now I've been camping and backpacking most of my life but overlanding and off roading is new to me. Thanks for reading.
