Hey everyone just checking in to say hello. I saw a TB near me with a huge offrodtb decal on the back glass, and wanted to join up.
My 05 EXT is pretty much stock for now, we actually bought it when my son was born because we needed more room than our Audi offered, but still wanted 4wd for snow and what not. Ive only had it thru some mud and gravel pits a few times, the place we used to go to is patroled by police now, and luckily the last 2 times they were down there patroling i had my son in the back seat and he was laughing and i left. Come to find out they were looking for people dumping trash so we dont bother going there anymore.
Sorry for the story, i have never really done any hardcore offroading, i am mostly into dragracing and auto x, hopefully soon trying some trails if i cna find some
Take care.
Jay

I hope it will go further, its funny because my buddy just sent me a message they are in MD racing this weekend and went 8.9 in the 1/4 all motor and boost, no bottle and broke, so they are coming home a day eariler then they wanted to
I think the other person i saw had a blue or black tb, lifted, had lights on the roof, a larger antenna on the back with a matching spare tire on the rear door looked pretty sick. I was down in Groton CT, so it could have been anyone in the military, a lot of guys at the base have modded cars, trucks, bikes anything with a motor is pretty much free game there

Welcome!
Hmm, maybe that was Dizzle, he's blue. Can't think of many other CT members. But he also hasn't been around in a while...

Dan(dizzle/dizzlenator) is up that way. I believe hes in the NAVY too so that could very well be him. I don't think he has a rear tire carrier though, does he now? Otherwise sounds just like him.
Regardless, welcome aboard

Thanks again everyone, I've been working on my daily driver a lot, and now I'm about ready to start doing some things to the truck. I want to give it a little bit of a lift, upgrade most of the suspension and make it a bit more aggressive for these crappy roads and a little bit more aggressive wheel and tire combo. I'm sure the search will be on now
