Enthusiast III

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to quickly introduce myself. I'm Alex (Scenic City Overland) from Chattanooga TN. I've got a 2010 Jeep JKU and a custom built trailer. I've been camping and backpacking my whole life and had a jeep since college, but my first real big overlanding trip was this summer. We did around 1600 miles of back-roads and trails though Kentucky, Tennessee and a bit Virginia. The loop we did is called the Kentucky Adventure Tour, and it was fantastic! I'm officially hooked and hope to get out more for longer and longer trips.

See you on the trail!

Hi Alex! I'm next. Well I'm Andrew actually. I'm from and currently in San Diego CA. I've been camping my entire life. Use to do full blown rock trucks but was always jealous of these comfy off road rigs. So now I have downsized to a fj80. I was living in a lifted van touring the country for over a year. I'll be in San Deigo for a few months before I head back out.

So right now im just building my rigs so theyll be ready when i move back home
the questions i had was can the first 500 members still pick out the emblem number of their choice, if they still can?
how do i know if the number i would like is not already taken?

got my first truck when i was 18

2001 F250 7.3 Powerstroke

after my first deployment i'd just turn 21 and bought my First Rock Crawler

What's up [emoji5] New member
Currently in Wales, United Kingdom.
Driving a 1997 Land Rover Discovery 1 300TDI.
Expedition truck. In between novice and experienced haha. I've travelled the whole of Western Australia over 8 months in another Truck and some of Europe on a separate trip. Still wouldn't class me as massively experienced.

Look forward to growing with you guys.
