    2WD Overland Thread

    I lost my Xterra to a distracted driver in January. Ever since I have been driving myself crazy trying to decide what to get to replace it. I came to this same realization and am moving to a 2WD later today. A Dodge Durango. We seldom have snow, usually ice, and I don't know the last time I...

    Any advice? Lexus GX470 or Nissan Xterra or Pathfinder

    Until a month ago I had an '05 Xterra. Great vehicle, loved it. Drove it for 6 years. Here are the weak points of the Gen 2's. Up until about 2010 the radiators have a problem of going bad and taking the transmission with it. Referred to as the SMOD, (strawberry milkshake of death.) If the...

    Advice: Best choice for overland trip video recording?

    Kodak. Zi8 or Playsport. Zi8 has more options, like an external mic jack, but the Playsport can take a beating and is waterproof to 10 feet. Both HD. On my Playsport, if I turn off the electronic image stabilization and mount it solid on the dash it gives a pretty good driving video. Both...

    Need a good lighter for camping

    Find a local cigar shop. They will mostly likely have a selection of $5 to $10 single or triple flame torch lighters that will last as long as the expensive ones listed and are refillable. Can't beat a triple flame torch.
