    Default Long time Lurker

    Hi All,

    I am on this sight daily as well as ADVrider. I have several outfitted rigs that are fully capable expo plat-forms. While getting my Van worked on and the top installed at Sportsmobile, I seen the Disabled explorer rig there.
    I am in the Army and am currently deployed again in A-Stan. This trip has been really bad and I have again suffered the loss of a few friends. I have been hit with an IED and caught up in Small arms fights with RPGs ect. About 2 months ago I was in very close proxcimity to a large explosion, and I have (memory loss) mild TBI. I am very blessed and have dodged the bullet about 12 times on this deployment. I dont have a lift or any special equipment, but I would like to envite or help out with a trip if I can when I get home. I have a New F350 4x4 Pickup, E350 4x4 Van, Pinzgauer,SB tent trailer, and 2 jeeps, so I should be able to get something going. I will be able to do day or a weekend trip, Or I can tag along for support.I feel like God has left me unharmed threw all of this for a reason, and I would really like to give something back. I well be back sometime in April and should be ready to go soon after. I am located in seattle and will travel up to 3-400 miles.
    I hope I can help out anyway I can.
