Greetings, my name is Colin. Been subbed on YouTube for a while and have lurked the forums off and on until my buddy
@bawesomfels bought me a membership for Christmas!
I live in the middle of nowhere panhandle of Nebraska with my wife and two little kiddos (2 and 3 and a half). Not much out here but I'm only about a 4 hour drive from Denver and under 3 hours to Cheyenne, WY or Rapid City SD. I grew up in the Phoenix area and spent some time backpacking/car camping and working at summer camps in the Boy Scouts. After getting my Jimmy I loved hitting desert trails to explore and shoot guns. I'd say I'm pretty much a novice at overlanding, but with my kids getting older I'm looking forward to introducing them to the great outdoors.
Current rig is this '99 4wd Jimmy SLT that I've had for about 5 and a half years now. Until now it has just been my ultra reliable daily driver, but it's coming time to buy new tires soon... The plan is 31s and enough lift to clear them. So far I have added a tow hitch, one piece Bravada front axle shaft (eliminates the unreliable vacuum actuated disconnect), full set of Kevlar composite skid plates (front diff, oil pan, transfer case, and gas tank skids), LED driving lights behind the grill, and some other cosmetic mods. I love wrenching on things and tinkering.
Anyway I'm excited to be here and I'm looking forward to learning a lot and maybe meeting some of you in the future.
