Awesome. Hopefully I can check it out a bit closer at the OTG. Where did you get that "Toyota" front grill? I've not seen that one.

@ce4460 He may have purchased that grill from these guys. It is a very cool truck....

Couldn't find it on his build thread but they look like the raptor style letters from BAMF

I purchase grillcraft mesh and used letters from Bay Area metal fab.

Hey @Keat When did you register? We do the follow up emails by hand about every day. Just checking to make sure our process is still on point!

Thanks. Curious because I have combat related disabilities and wondered if there would be others attending OTG that had related experiences. Just concerned about fitting in given this would be my first OB trip.

You're good bro, I can relate, and can assist. Army, Iraq '05'

Thanks for the info on the grill. Who would think it'd be so complicated.

Re: email confirmation, I received an automatic email telling me I paid as a driver-as well as a few other items. I haven't gotten anything telling me I'm registered. I'm a little concerned there is a process I'm not aware of and still not officially a part of the event.

I was there in '05. Where were you located?

 

[Matt92101]

Thanks for the offer to go off thread but I'd like others to benefit from the conversation.

I was Army, '80-'90 and '03-'06. Started out as a Combat Photographer, then was commissioned in Artillery. My second stint was as a Cavalry Scout. Wounded twice in Baghdad resulting, in part, with a PTSD diagnosis. It is this problem that creates a certain degree of trepidation. Just not used to groups, but would like to address this concern, hence joining a group with common interests (Overland Bound).

Balad, Baqubah, Samara, top part of Baghdad

 

[ce4460]

I spent about a month in Diyala Prov in '04, then to Bagdad.

On another note, did you get an official "welcome to OTG" email. Sounds like one is sent about a day after payment, but I haven't received anything. Hmmmm

Yes, just drop a post or a PM to Corrie and she'll get it squared away. Good people here!

It's more of an online form, requesting vehicle info and such.

Ok. I'll try that. Thanks.

Yup. You are all set. I'll touch base with @Corrie to make sure we get your follow up e-mail sent out.
