Hello OB community!
My name's Ruairi and I currently live in Vallejo, CA.
I'm born and raised in Colorado but now I go to school at the California Maritime Academy.
It's funny, I stumbled upon this forum while looking into HAM operator licenses on youtube, but I have been passively looking for "off-roader" forums with not much luck until now.
I believe I have a pretty unique "rig". It's a 2000 Lincoln Navigator on 20' wheels and 35' Nitto Ridge Grapplers, 2" spacers, and Bilstein shocks. I also have a 9000lb. winch and a small curved lightbar.
The truck does great in snow and the moderate offroading I've done in Colorado but I've never really pushed it to the limit.
I'm hoping through this forum I can meet new people and go on some trails I don't know exist!

Thanks for the info! I've been doing some looking around. I'll have to try to make it to one of those meetups soon.
