Hey all!

I’ve been finding my way around the Oregon forests for the last couple years, decided I should finally join this forum to enhance the experience! Currently running around in a 2016 F150 with very little modification, 2” leveling kit and 35” Raptor OEM wheels and tires. For the camping side, I’ve got a 23 Zero Byron (I think that’s what the model was) and a Rhinorack sunchaser awning mounted to a Thule adjustable rack.

Hello everyone. Really glad to be introducing myself to this fantastic community.

Name: Martin
Location: Dubai
Rig: Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit V8 (ruggedised :grimacing:)

I’m currently building up my rig to take on more local vehicle dependant exploration of UAE and Oman. I had big plans for last year but this was put on hold due to travel restrictions.

Now though I’m looking forward to the borders to opening up soon and getting my WK2 ready to explore and find adventure.

Hello Dustin, welcome to the OB community. You should never put your actual address out there on the net, just a word of advise.
