I've started a new build so my Xterra is up for sale. This has been an absolutely amazing adventure rig for us for the last 8 years. I promise you won't find an overland rig built to this extent, this nice, for a better price. I have attached a link to my craigslist add with the full build...

A friend of mine built this trailer a few years ago for himself. He did an amazing job with the build. He decided to go a different route so I have had the trailer for a couple of years now. The trailer is the epitome of simplicity. No pull outs, no galley, no fancy gadgets. That is why I...

It's time to sell my camp trailer. I have had this trailer for years and have made many modifications to it. I came across a deal on an offroad teardrop style trailer and I just cant keep both. This trailer is a very simple idea. It is somehwat of a minimilast style build with no frills, just a...

A few years ago another member was gracious enough to give this bed to us for free with the promise that I would do the same when my daughter outgrew it. The time has come to do just that. The room that the bed came out of before we got it was very similar to my daughters room now. The bed is...

Ran Bull Springs Rd. this past weekend from Amado to Patagonia. Perfect run, not too hot and had tons of rain. I have never seen the desert greener in my life. Ken broke his swaybar endlink and it swung down tearing the CV boot. Ended his day. Rain in the valley My...

Just picked up this 2010 Offroad edition today. Got a really good deal that I couldn't pass up. Time to sell the 04'.

$650 I purchased this fridge new about 6 months ago. It is in perfect condition. I am also including the wiring loom to run to the battery. I had it installed in a 2004 Xterra and I cut the loom to fit the length I needed but I will included the unused wiring also. The merit type plug on...

I really like the idea of putting all of my years adventures into one ongoing thread. Obviously I can credit Vermejo for the idea. I do a lot of day trips, camping, dirtbiking, and more so it will be nice to have a place to just throw in a pic or two when I feel the need. I was lucky enough...

Kenmoto and I decided today would be a good day to do a run we have been talking about for some time now. We had scouted out the route on Google Earth and figured we would give it a go. We left Tucson and headed north on Hwy 77 to Winkelman, we stopped there topped of the tanks and continued...

Took a little trip with some friends to Temporal Gulch north of Patagonia in the southern end of the Santa Rita Mountains. This is a very pretty area. Not a very eventful trip so a long writeup isn't necessary, just thought I would share the photos.

With the recent start of our Southern Arizona regional expo group in the community forum we decided to have a meet and greet weekend. Pau-hana(Alan) and I had decided on a spot north of Tucson where the 24hours in the Old Pueblo Mtn. bike race is held. This would be an easy to find base camp...

A few of us decided to get together this past Sunday and do a loop around the Tortolita Mountains just north of Tucson. You can drive from Marana to Catalina around the north end without touching pavement. The southern Foothills are builtup and no longer have access. We all had commented on...

Here is my dilemma. I currently own a 2004 Nissan Xterra. I don't do much serious 4 wheeling, mostly exploring backcountry, bit I do like a little capability when needed though. I don't mind the open diffs. Pro's --Very comfortable off road ride. I have had many 4x4's and the Xterra rides...

I am going to be having the lid built for my trailer in the next couple of weeks and I have been looking around for weatherstripping. So far I have not found anything suitable locally. I did find a lot of options on Mcmaster-Carr but it seems pretty pricey. Before I spend the money I thought...

I recently purchased a real simple offroad trailer from Craigslist. It came with 1500lb trailer leaf springs. I quickly determined that the packs were too stiff as I will only be running 400-500lbs of weight in the trailer at any given time. I removed one leaf leaving only the main leaf and...

What a trip! Just got home a few hours ago from one the most eventful trips I have had in a few years. All in all turned out to be a really fun trip. We got out of town around 6am Saturday morning and headed towards Globe to meet up with Rich (conejo), and Jim (blue10). One our way towards...

Not affiliated, just saw it on CL this morning. Looks cool. http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/2545470258.html

I have seen a few folks posting their favorite pics of the year and I wanted to do the same. The 2nd half of my year has been pretty busy (R/C rockcrawling competitions) and my travels were affected but the 1st half we were able to get out quite a bit. Hope you enjoy Chricahua Mtns, AZ...

Some friends of mine had been wanting to go to the Gila River to check out a spot that we have traveled to many times. It wound up being a nice family outing with his folks and mine along to explore with us! I won't post all the pics of the area, just the ones unique to this trip since we did...

***********SOLD********************* Well I have finally decided to sell my beloved truck. I don't use it to tow anything anymore and just can't justify the need to keep it. I used to have a Palomino pop up camper for it and it has been on many camping trips. Not the best overland platform...
