    Hi all!

    My name is Kevin and I'm 32, single, living in Folsom. Been a huge lover of everything offroad from racing to casual trail running but never actually had a 4x4 vehicle or anything capable until 2021 when I bought a Ford Maverick. Long story short, it turned out to be a lemon but I did take it on a few easier trails around the area, most notably the Genoa Peak trail in Tahoe on the Nevada side.

    I just purchased a new GMC Canyon AT4 and am looking to made some modifications in the coming months to get it trail ready and thought I'd pop in and say hello, I might swing by the next meet up and say hello as well. I do have social anxiety and can be a bit nervous around new people but it will be a good way to get myself out there!

    Here's a few pic of my drive on Yankee Jim's Rd with the Canyon this mornin!

    Welcome Kevin, and that is a very nice truck.  I understand your anxiety, but our group, and meetings, are a safe environment.  Feel free to post up any questions you may have as well.

    I hope to see you soon!

    Welcome Kevin,

    Nice truck, the color is awesome!  As a newbie myself and someone that doesn't really enjoying being around groups of people I can tell you this is a great club for you to come and visit.  Very low key, very very welcoming and a lot of really good people.  Hope to see you at a meeting soon!

    Jase and Stace.
