Sorry I’m late to introduction.
I’m Sebastien. I’m a crane operator in west the west Texas oilfield. I sold my Harley and bought a Rubicon to just do more than ride fast through the mountains.
I took a trip to Ouray Colorado last weekend and broke in my JL with the sky top one touch, which makes for a great safari vehicle. Although running into minor issues installing parts with pop out windows and various roof rack installations. Not huge issues just have to either add more weight to the rig or go without.
I’m working on my HAM license and private pilot license and really looking forward to my next trip through the mountains.
My big trip would be to take this Rubicon back to Cantwell Road just south of Denali for overland hunting expedition.
I grew up in central California with Yosemite 2 hours away and the beach 2 hours away, so living in the desert can be pretty taxing when the mountains are calling my name.
Hope to see you all on the trails at some point.

Welcome to Overland Bound Sebastien.
Nice Jeep.
I think we are all weight watchers. I would like to shed a few pound myself if I could figure out what I can do without.

I’m going to be in Austin for Formula 1 Oct 21-23 with the family. Maybe there’s an opportunity that week for a meet and greet ?
