new owner

hi guys, my name is matt and I am a new owner of a 2002 x SE s/c. I am really excited about hooking up with you guys for some trail runs.

I started off roading when I was about 7 years old with my brother in the dunes of Pismo Beach. Growing up in southern california I learned about the joys of desert running and prerunners. My first vehicle was a fully custom s-10 with roll cage and tube frame setup featuring racerunners at every wheel and a custom three link in the back. needless to say I had some fun. About three years ago a drunk driver destroyed that little part of my life and I adopted a toyota camry. About a week ago that was taken away from me by another driver showing negligence of law and totalling it with his 75 continental.

I had been thinking about jumping on an X right after my truck was totalled but purchased the camry from a family member out of sheer convience. Now that I have the X I am ready to get back into the real world. I am going to school up in Chico and don't have much to spend on mods right now but I still hope to take part in the runs that my near stock vehicle can journey into.

Like I said, I would like to join the club so if any of the in charge individuals would care to contact me via email I would appreciate it.

thanks guys, happy trails.

Did someone say jumping an X at Pismo?

Welcome inked operator!

All right, another new guy. Don't worry there are plenty of runs you can do with a stock X. Mine is stock as well. While the Rubicon is out of the question, you would be surprised what you can conquer or climb over . Surprised would not be the words my wife would use, but hey, what can you do.

Just to note, do not try wheeling with an X loaded with Pre-Thanksgiving Celebration leftovers. There's something about eggnog, pumpkin pie, and turkey left overs that do not mix well with large bumps, steep grades, and sudden stops at the edge of mud pits that just does not mix! I spent Sunday night cleaning that up. But at least I got some wheeling in last weekend, even if it was just a stop on the way home.

I digress. Hope to see you at future runs. FYI...Big Ass Phil, if you are reading this, we should get together with the more Northern guys and do a run up in your area. Let me know if you have any ideas.

See you in the dirt.

I am JEALOUS!! You got to go 4 wheeling last weekend.. WAAAAAA... Oh well, I got to go 4 wheeling at the concord weapons station along the ccwd pipeline at work today.. I would post picures, but the 6'4" guy with the really big gun said no pictures..
have to go to
Hollister....

Welcome Inked Operator

As Dos Equis said, you will be surprised at what a stock X will do. I was. Can't wait to go out and find out somemore. Anyone wanting to do a run up North (somewhere around the tahoe area, or within a few hours of here) I'm in.

Have fun with the new X

Welcome to the world that is Xterra Owners Club. What meaning does "Inked Operator" have?

simply put, I've got a fair amount of tattoos, some of which are very visible. seemed appropriate enough ya know? you guys will be able to see for yourselves though at the next meet.

Casper, I'd be really interested in something mor eup near "our" neck of the woods. You know more about the terrain around there than I do. email me with some ideas if you wanna flip a trip.

Catch you guys soon...
