New to the area and 4wheeling in general

Post by Grafzedd »

Hey everyone! I've been working on cars for over 10 years and used to have 5 Datsun Z cars but now I'm getting into 4wheeling. I picked up an 87 Mitsubishi Montero and fixed some rust, lifted it about 2 inches and put 30 inch tires on it. I have recovery straps, 12v compressor, tire repair kit, Hi lift jack and a come along. I'll probably build a custom winch bumper in the future.

Anyways, I've checked out broad run and it was definitely fun but super easy. I still like the views and exploring and camping. I have a list of trails to check out and I think it would be cool to get a group of people going.

Here are a few pictures of my rig. I'm putting old man emu leaf springs on the back and it should be ready for next weekend but I'm down for ride alongs too. Let me know if anyone wants to meet up or if you have some trail tips etc. Thanks!

Edit: oh I forgot to mention I'm actually in Roanoke but I used to work next to tech and don't mind driving to Blacksburg.
