New member here, just south of Richmond area. Would be down for meeting up and always willing to get the runaway camper away from the house for a little while. 2017 Nissan Rogue awd on Toyo at3 so not much for trails but also have a lifted Tahoe that I’m slowly building up

So once we're able to get meetups rolling again, we will be having our meetup in Richmond this time around. Not sure where yet, but we will get those details squared away whe we get to a better place.

Im in Richmond area and use to live just outside Harrisonburg , does it still have stock 6?
No, it has the Mercedes OM617 swap in it. She’s not fast, might shake you out of the door, but she’s fun. She’s probably not as “rock crawler” as your rig, but I’m driving her daily, and gearing up to explore.
Your 40 is pretty cool! It takes a lot to get them where you have yours! It’s a labor of love.

I’d post photos but right now all the photos are on back of tow trucks, on lifts in the shop, or in autozone parking lots.

Mine I got back in 1984 "with my paper route money", it has a fuel-injected 350 in it and its a daily driver and many many hours of labor, I can cruise at 70 on the highway or slow on the trails, it was built for exploring

Do you have the Venturist? I think my wife is over the RTT so I've been looking at the Venturist for a little while now. Haven't had a chance to make it back down to FL to check out their shop but if there's someone local willing to show me theirs...

If we're just looking for a parking lot to hang out in we could do it at the shop on a Saturday or Sunday. We have room for a couple dozen rigs as long as we don't block the pick up parking for the pizza shop on the corner. We're at 2512 Gayton Centre Dr, Henrico 23238. Just south of Short Pump.
