First of all, big shout out to Bklyn.X for helping get me set up here.

I live about 30 minutes north of Albany and just recently bought a 2012 Xterra in June. My friend in Washington state has a 1st gen Xterra and I went offroading with him out there and had a great time so I am trying to get into it myself.

I come from small and lowered Volkswagens so the Xterra feels like a monster truck when I drive that around. I also have a 2011 diesel Golf, a 2003 Golf that I GTI swapped a couple years ago, and a 1981 Rabbit pickup that I am currently swapping a 2001 turbo diesel into (4 cars is too many but I am bad at getting rid of stuff). It's nice being able to roll under the Xterra on a creeper without having to jack it up or drive up on ramps, but it's also too tall to fit in my garage, so you can't win them all I suppose.

I look forward to being able to join you guys for some events and hopefully I can make it to the Back 2 School Run in October. If anybody is in the area and interested in exploring, let me know. I have been trying to go to Mettowee with one of my friends but he is afraid to scratch his Tacoma and he works weekends a lot so it's been hard to coordinate.

Here is a pretty current picture. I have gotten 32" Wildpeaks since this so it looks a little better now

Glad to see you made it!

Being that this has always been a club about getting off-road together things slowed down here a bit with the COVID restrictions.
This year’s B2SR is the first since 2019 and easier access to this board needs to be addressed but as you see the Officers are slowly working to bring us back.
Hope to see you on the trails sometime soon! beer1

I don't really have any social media. Am I missing out on anything if I'm only on the forum?
