Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Brett. I met some members at Bantam Jeep Fest in Butler a couple weeks ago. Just got a chance to get registered. Forum seems great so far. I live in the Pittsburgh area and am interested in doing a little more offroading. I am also into hunting and fishing. I didn't grow up in the city, so living here now makes doing the things I like to do a little more challenging. Hoping to use this forum as a new resource.
Just joined! (even though ive know about pghoffroad for years, sorry) Just got rid of a 95 ZJ and working on a 89 YJ. Who wants to help?! Jk. Hello all!

Hello All. My name is Joe and I just recently moved to Edgewood borough. I am a first time Jeep owner - just bought my red TJ in March. I've been traveling a lot for work so I haven't been able to spend as much time on her as I'd like but I have installed a 4" RC lift and slapped 33" on it. Using this forum, I was able to get the recommendation and contact info of Dave Gibbs who I found out is a great mechanic and an even nicer guy. I'm looking forward to using this forum for everything Jeep!

Hey all,
I stumbled upon your site a while back and finally emailed Matt and he set us up as a vendor. I own Manley ORV Company, where we manufacture off road capable utility and camping trailers... along the lines of the old 1/4 ton military trailers. Check out our website and Facebook page in my signature and let us know if you have any questions. Our shop is in Cuyahoga Falls, OH, about 2 hours from Pittsburgh.
But, I don't just own the trailer company, I am an avid Jeeper and wheeler. I currently have a 2008 JK 2dr Rubicon that has been to Drummond Island, Silver Lake, Kentucky mountains, Penn's Woods Jeep Jamboree, Nemacolin, Rock Run and a few other places. Previous Jeeps were a 93 Cherokee Country, 05 TJ Rubicon, 02 Overland, and 98 5.9 Limited and a couple of trucks, 07 Duramax and currently a Raptor.
I mainly wheel with my buddy and our Operations Manager, Jason. He has a 07 JK 4dr.
We look forward to meeting you all at future events and having more guys to wheel with.
-Josh

Whats up guys. New to western PA, living in Erie now from the NYC region. Building a YJ on tons currently.

Welcome all!
Hey folks - just signed up a few minutes ago. Maybe I'm seeing things wrong, but it looks like the activity on this board is a bit slow? A good bit of the posts I've browsed appear to be a few years old. But I'll press on anyway
So here's the deal with me; My name is Greg, I'm in my mid 40's, I live on a 4 acre wooded plot in a tiny town called Dunlevy, in Washington County south of Pittsburgh. I work a lot - normally have only 1 day a week off, and that day changes frequently. I don't have much spare time, but I do on the occasion like heading to the Laurel Mountains area and explore some of the dirt & gravel roads. I really enjoy the woods! But my "off-road" experience is limited. Mainly because I'm usually the lone vehicle, and am afraid of getting stuck/stranded, or breaking my truck. I've had pickups my whole life, and use mine as my daily driver to and from work, the store, firewood, gravel hauling, water hauling - everything. So if I break my buggy in the woods, I'm screwed
So it occurred to me to maybe find some local off-roaders with years of experience and learn from them. So, I guess that's YOU folks reading this. No pressure!
In my mind, on a scale of 1 to 10, I'm probably comfortable with a difficulty level of 2 or 3 - mainly due to my lack of experience, and fear of damaging my vehicle.
I'll probably lurk around here for a few months until Spring breaks, the snow melts, and I have some spare cash saved up.
So, which one or two of you young experienced whipper-snappers wants to take a middle-aged beginner under their wing??
Oh yeah, vehicle is a 2002 4x4 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9ltr TurboDeisel with a 6 speed manual transmission.
No fancy mods other than good nobby tires and running boards.
I learned to drive on a stick. Have never owned an automatic transmission. Probably never will.
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it!

That is a lot of truck for running the trails in the woods around here. I guess it has been a little slow around here but this never has been a really high volume forum, except late at night on the weekends when everyone gets drunk.
No doubt that would make a great tow rig. But not the best wheeler around here. Find a jeep , sami, yota,tracker, or other small vehicle if you are really interested in getting into the sport. And then find yourself a decent car hauler and you will be set

Hey there Josh & TJ.
Thanks for weighing in.
Your comments on my truck are more confrimation to me that my knowlege about offroading around here is lacking, to say the least.
From what I'm quickly figuring out here - bigger is not better!
My Dodge is great for hauling a cord of firewood, 2,000 lbs of gravel, 250 gallons of water for my cistern... but may be a bit clumsy and bulky for navigating trails.
Something with a shorter wheelbase and a lower GVW is more nimble on the trail?
I guess now I'll hafta start browsing CraigsList for a trail rig. How am I gonna explain that to the wife????
Maybe what I need to do is ride shotgun a few times in a few different rigs and see what ticklels my fancy.
I'm not one of those die-hard brand specific "X-truck rules!"people. I've owned AMC, Ford, Chevy and Dodge. I use whatever vehicle "does the job" for me, and falls within my price range. One of my favorite trucks was my 88 S-10, and also the 78 Jeep J-20. Lotsa good memories with those!
So I guess I'll keep my eyes open for when some of you plan a trip, see if I can tag along, and learn from the passenger seat for a while.
Thanks again for your input!
Have A Great Thanksgiving.

Welcome, Dave!
Hello, my name is Steve, new here. I made a thread in the meet and greet section haha.. sorry but my basic info is there.
Seems like a nice place! looking forward to doing some stuff!
What's up everybody! I discovered this site from a guy from the toyota-4runner.org forums.
My name is David. I got a CPO 2006 Toyota 4Runner Sport last year and I'm learning how ridiculous this thing is stock. I'm now thinking about taking it on light-easy trails for now and getting used to off-road driving as well as learning how to handle my vehicle.
My main thing is, I don't really know too many people from the area into the off-road scene. So I don't really know where to go LEGALLY with a stock 'Runner.
Hoping to make some friends and hit some trails when we thaw out in the spring!
Welcome! Have some koolaid.
