After a long teary goodbye with our brothers and sisters we pointed the adventure rig north and made tracks for the Black Hills. When we initially started planning our trip I didn't honestly have any idea how far we would need t travel to make it to Colorado Springs, and once there, how close we...

Once we made it back down into the Valley below, we made our way on secondary highways to Colorado Springs, where we met up with our gang of old biker buddies and spent a fantastic 5 days in a rental house. It was our tourista portion of our adventure, and the surrounding area sure lived up to...

I bought a tablet mount that fits into the cd slot. In hind sight it was not a great idea. It held the tablet fine, but messed up my cd player. I will probably look into a better Ram style mount, and secure it better somehow, probably with a Ram mount into the dash somehow. I sure like having...

I bought a $49 hitch cargo rack and modified it to fit on my oem roof rack. I removed the lid of the wet box and used some long leaf spring type clamps to hold it to the rails. That's about it. It does the job just fine. Sent from the Mountains

Once we crested the Summit, we took the time to definitely take it all in. The top of the world sure is a beautiful place. This was one of the "bucket list" spots we had talked about for the year prior to embarking on our 6000km adventure and I sure am glad I was able to satisfy crossing it off...

The next morning we packed up and continued on our upwardly trajectory. We hitched onto the Engineer Pass main road and followed it uphill to the summit. It was truly spectacular, because of our primo overnight location we were rewarded with having Engineer Pass trail entirely to ourselves. The...

We ended up finding an epic little spot to overnight, just as dusk was approaching. It was simply amazing and i can still hardly find the words to describe it. In my opinion, this is exactly what "overlanding" is to me. To travel and explore the road less travelled and happen upon random small...

We decided to take the Mineral Creek Trail section of the Alpine Loop, up to meet with Engineer Pass. It had rained earlier, and the lower trail rocky uphill sections were slick as doggy poop. The Xterra slid off one off-camber uphill track a few feet towards a ledge (which certainly gave the...

Our next overnight stop was at Starvation Lake, Utah. We found a nice off the grid place to camp out, got our roofttop tents all cozy, made burritos and sat down and enjoyed the evening In the morning we headed out early as we wanted to make it to Ouray that afternoon. We stuck with a...

Amazing how life gets in the way, and you neglect the more important things in life.....like posting more pictures of your 2017 summer adventure.

Look at that ARB cover. I have one coming with my new gear set and E locker. That thing looks boombastic. Sent from the Mountains

I have the TS9500 as well. It's been a reliable faithful companion so far. Sent from the Mountains

That looks great. Love the ARB products. Sent from the Mountains

I don't recall if you mentioned, but where did you access the front cv axle to differential bolts? I think each axle takes 6 of them?

Does the Frontier have the same engine bay as the Xterra? I think it would. Anyhow, I mounted dual Deka Intimidators in the space where the stock battery used to fit. You have to relocate the power steering reservoir and make good use of all the space, fabricate a dual battery tray, but it's...

Our 07 Xterra has 250000km on it, and aside from replacement of regular items (hubs, brakes, couple of minor things, etc) it has been great and very reliable. The Wife and I gave been chatting about what our next vehicle down the road might likely be, and we've really settled on the Frontier...

What a great video, and read. Sent from the Mountains
