    Stemwinder Weekender - An Off The Leash Adventure

    Any adventure is what you make of it, or so I believe it should be. This past weekend was more of an exercise in destination than one of journey, probably a 75/25 split in favor of the final spot. My Wife and I were looking for a weekend getaway, one of the relaxing type variety. Life can run...

    Right here, right now. To me, what it is all about. ( just an iPhone snapshot of our weekend camping spot. Somehow I have cell service up here. I'll post a trip report when we get home, for now I hope this does the job. Back to R&R for me) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I saw on an Xterra forum somewhere once, a guy had fabbed up his own brackets for his ARB bumper. He didn't like how far he thought it sat from the vehicle, so he didn't use the crush brackets and made his own. I think it shouldn't be too hard for you to sort out.

    Thanks. So far, so good. This weekend will be a test of the aux. battery capacity. I have two 80odd watt solar panels and a controller at home that I'm going to project up into a portable solar system (for use with the Xterra and our travel trailer). I have a smaller 40 watt portable solar panel...

    Changed the front pads and rotors last night. It sure needed them. I installed rotors and pads when I bought it 3+ years ago, and since then she's pulled our 4K pound travel trailer to Oregon twice, along with multiple local trips into the mountains, never mind all the daily driving. We are...

    I was able to finish up this dual battery project today. I spent a few hours fabbing up the metal frames to hold the batteries ( this is where years of my youth spent tinkering with Meccano has paid off). I had to figure out a hold down bracket that was stepped as the batteries are in two...

    Yeh, I liked the looks of the ARB a lot when h started looking at bumpers, DJ that's what she ended up wearing. I did relocate the power steering reservoir to its current location. It's not an overly difficult procedure. There is a good write up that I followed in thenewx forum. Sent from my...

    Started in on stage 2 of my dual battery setup. I had to move some things around to get the room to squeeze the dual Deka's in, but they do fit. It is now beer o'clock in the afternoon, so I done for the day. I should be able to have the brackets and hold downs fabbed up tomorrow. I have the T...
