Good afternoon Gents,

I am Jeremy from Russellville, Ar. Selling my VW TDI and just purchased this beater for a song. 99 Yukon. 5.7 Vortec. Runs quieter than the VW. The yukon was about a quarter what I am getting for my VW so excited to start tinkering. Past 4x4 experience was owning 6 different IHC Scouts(2x 800's and 4 Scout II's). Wife is on-board for the tinkering and the journey. View attachment 241956

Hey y’all! Just wanted to introduce myself. Name is Matt and I’m located in NC. Newly transplanted from East Texas. Been around trail running and camping for years. Previously, I was running a 2018 Raptor which was a hell of a truck. I couldn’t handle pinstriping the paint on such an expensive vehicle so I sold that and I am currently building up a 96’ LX450 with factory lockers. Just finished baselining and got the 2.5 in OME lift and white knuckle off-road rock sliders on. Heading over to throw some 35’s on the ole boy this week. I love to turn wrenches and learn about the rig I’m working on. In any case, would love to meet some people in my neck of the woods to run some trails with, wrench on rigs, and do some camping! Excited to join the community!

Hey guys,

I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Alex and I live just north of Columbus OH. I just picked up a 1997 80 Series Land Cruiser that I am converting into an Overlanding rig. I used to do offroading in college in a 2008 Nissan Frontier but it has been a while. I would put myself somewhere between novice and advanced since Overlanding is new to me and offroading is very common. I am excited to be in the group and looking forward to getting to know you guys.

Alex
