Off-Road Ranger I
Hello Trailman4057 from the Inland Empire. Welcome to OB...it's great to have you here! Spending time with family and friends is what its all about. Love what you have done to the explorer... see ya out on the trails someday brother!Hi all member 4057 here. My name is James i'm from north east Oregon. I drive a not so stock 1st gen explorer. Ive always loved camping and all things outdoors. When I found overlanding I had just lost my father and to be quite honest myself. it gave me something to keep my mind off of things. I have three kids 10 6 and 3 all go with me anytime they can. My wife only when we camp at a campground lol we've put many miles on our rig mostly local trips within 200 mi radius. looking forward to visiting family in Bakersfield next year and hit up some places where i grew up. Hope to see you all on the trail!
