    Another Road Trip; TX-NM-AZ-UT-CO, July 2019

    Starting odometer for the trip. My trusted Garmin GPS says 12 hours drive as I am leaving at 10:00pm. It says I will get to destination at 9:00am. But since I see myself sleeping at a rest stop or truck stop tonight, I can get to destination only after atleast 15 hours on the road. Midnight...

    Knowing how traveling at night I end up eating pretty bad food choices at gas stations, I decided to make my own food to hold me throughout the night. Smoothie made of 1 mango, 1 cup of strawberries, 1 apple, 1 banana and half cucumber. Boiled feesh peanuts. 6 boiled eggs 2 cans of sardines...

    Not exactly like yours. These are 4 USB rechargeable led lights with magnetic rears. First I wipe surface with alcohol. Then install black sticky paper to the surface. Then I take the metal plate that came with these lights and attach them on the black sticky paper with strong double sided tape...

    I see. Yeah, if you provided an exact part number and did not receive what you provided, he must have made a mistake then. But yeah, Greg has served many people and had perfect reviews. He is known to talk to customers and give suggestions and advices that by the time you or most people are...

    Why didn't you order directly from Radlfo? I wonder if your coilovers had to built only after you had placed your order. Is that maybe why it took too long? I have bought from PRG before. I ordered a lift kit for my 2009 Armada from his website and my experience was just normal. I ordered...

    Amazing build. Keep up the great work. You make me feel ok I can really build the inside if my QX to be sleeping inside, instead of thinking of a roof top tent.

    Just thought I should share with you some pics of my rig in its road trip attire and offroad mode. This is how my SUV looks like when I am on my major road trips that involve wheeling. And here are some pictures of NY rig at the top of those treacherous passes in Colorado. I will be going there...

    Nice camping trip. Love it when I see cars like that Trailhawk and Subaru especially, joining such adventures and handling it easy. Great pictures!!! Question: Was the 80" Rock Sliders for Double Cab Tacoma a direct bolt-on or did you modify it? Can you share link to the exact one you...

    Ok, I see what you mean. I have just never heard of that SPC name until today. Also, I have seen on the Australian forums that the Total Chaos UCA is very popular with the Patrol guys in Australia. And you know those Patrol guys in Australia do wheel their Patrols way more than us in the US...

    I meant to say Total Chaos UCA. Did you look into it? It has a good reputation in the Patrol world. Total Chaos UCA for Nissan Patrol Y62 And yes, Radflo would be the ultimate best, when you finally get it. I am sure it would ride really better than stock. I had contacted Radflo a while ago...

    Thanks, I knew you would. You and I have something in common. We like to mess a lot with this truck and push it out of its comfort zone!!!

    And this is my favorite mod so far on my QX. Installing large 8.5 STEDI Type-X Pro OFFROAD led light inside my grill. You can go to this my thread to see details and tons of pictures... I bought the lights from Australia. 8.5" STEDI Type-X Pro OFFROAD LED in my 2012 Infiniti QX56 grill

    Do you have a writeup for all that you used to achieve this? I have been wanting to increase my light in the trunk area but just did not know how to go about it. I actually have 4 usb rechargeable led lights that I use in the trunk area if I want a lot of light. I put 3m double sided tape on...

    Best looking QX56 I have ever seen second to mine. Well, what can I say, I like mine more. But I must give it to you, you have done an exceptional job. According to me, this is the best 2011 QX56 I have ever seen. Keep on sharing as often as you can. We have people on clubarmada forums talking...

    I have run both tires. What would you like? Hardcore mud tires or the hybrid or all terrain tires? 305/45/22. Maintians the stock rim size of 33. Here I could not find a mud tire, so I went with a hybrid offroad tire. The Atturo XT tire. It served me well. Did not take a noticeable hit on...

    That is for that info. I just looked it up. The fire looks pretty serious. And yes, the Apache Trail looks closed now indefinitely, they say. I think they mention like 600 firefighters are currently battling tje fire which is 0% contained so far. Forest officials project the fires might not be...

    Thanks for the heads up. I plan to to do the high passes on July 16 and 17. The FJ Cruiser event starts on the 17th and those trails get atleast 300 or more vehicles during that time. History has it that those passes are always passable then. So, I am hoping it is the same this year. Last...

    Truly jampacked indeed. But honestly, not amust that I have to visit it all, but I always likie to know what is available to see and I try to hit every spot. Work keeps me at home a lot, so any time I get to go on these long trips, I try to cramp in as much experience as possible. Since I enjoy...

    Thanks about the lights. I really like the way they turned out. And I am looking forward to starting my trip. I just have 2 more things to do to my truck to get it ready. Last thing will be a oil change. I don't really need one since the current oil has been there for only 2,500 miles, but I...
