Lloyd -
Hate to do this, but need to stay in town. Had four real estate transactions scheduled to close before Thanksgiving now two have been pushed into the trip dates. Been a rough week... Tried to make other arrangements but not looking feasible at this point.
One of my friends (Nate)...
FYI... ARB is dropping the price on their lockers $100 across the board.
I'd go ARB. Reliable plus you get onboard air for your tires. Simple setup. Unless you can buy crazy cheap...
Pathfinder is great for snow or gravel. Anything more then forget it. Personally, I think the Nissan products are far inferior to Mitsu or Toyota in quality and reliability.
Montero: 24 gallon fuel tank - range easily over 400 miles / tank (even modified like mine), rear door spare tire...
More notes from the someone who just visited.
Definitely start at the Furnace Creek Visitor Center for all the latest backcountry information
Mesquite Spring Campground is quiet, has water and is their favorite.
They liked the Leadfield ghost town
Historic Stovepipe Wells has the heavy duty...
Have another friend who wants to join us. Some destination suggestions from him:
Saline upper (northern portion) had some snow
Saline hot springs are enjoyable & free camping
Saline Valley Dunes were cool
Dedeckera road interesting
Ballerarat ghost town interesting, still partially inhabited...

Thanks! Been having a good time with the new camera.
More adventures to come. Heading to Cabo next week (flying, but will drive Baja possibly next year). Then Death Valley for Thanksgiving.
They would. However, it would give you virtually no downward wheel travel.
If you want more lift... Subframe spacer lift would be the ticket. There is a kit in Japan for 6" lift (way too much). I was planning to do 1.5-2" subframe lift to fit the 35s but then decided on the 34s. Extra...
Their bumper design is poor and has been. Any bumper that requires the factory bumper to be hacked up isn't worth buying. ARB doesn't want to actually design a bumper to fit the truck; rather they modify their existing design and it attach to the truck.
Reminds me of the monstrosity they...
