Haven't touched my thread in a while, so I thought I'd update with some photos of my more recent trips. In early October the wife and I took the Xterra on the ferry out to San Juan Island ********** dab in the middle of the strait between Washington and British Columbia. We sailed into Friday...

Good to know. I'm probably going to stick with the OME for a while, as they're only a year old and I still get decent travel with the spacers and SPC UCAs. Who knows, I might just say screw it and Titan swap for my next suspension upgrade down the line. Have you decided on what bumper you're...

Looks good, Steve. Are they noticeably brighter while backing up? Also, how are the Nisstec coilovers treating you? Any issues so far? I'm thinking about swapping out my OME coils for something with more travel up front, and was considering these because the price is right.

I've been rained on in Upstate New York, Vermont, the Southern Arizona Mountains, and now western Washington in my Tepui Kukenam Sky. Never gotten a drop of rain inside the tent. The Sky feature was especially nice during my brief tenure in AZ. Just my $0.02.

Yep. One of the reasons I often engage my rear locker when negotiating an obstacle that wouldn't otherwise require a locked differential. A conscious attempt to preserve my front diff.

Nice pictures! Where are those trails, if you don't mind me asking?

Reading this was a great start to my Tuesday. Great pictures, Tom. I recognize a few of those trucks from over on thenewx.org. Stay away from those xterra guys..... They're a rowdy, unpredictable bunch.

I've been longing to knock out the WBCDR since I move to Lacey a few months ago. Great pictures, man.

Your Patrol must see more trail time than every other truck on this forum, combined. As always, great pictures!

Ah, okay. Only other option would be to work at extending your suspension travel in the front. New Coilovers/UCAs. Help keep the tires from breaking traction as much. I'm just throwing out ideas now, hah.

I would just throw a Lokka locker in the 180 and call it a day. It would be (relatively) cheap and would mitigate any potential future issues with the carrier or pinion. I've read nothing but good reviews from the guys on thenewx. You won't have the selectable feature like you would with the...

Wow. Just......wow. Great pictures and journey log, man. I've been looking at kayaks and canoes. I'll definitely have to consider the model you have.

Let me know when/if you go. I could be talked into running that trail again. I'd like to camp at the lake, as I didn't get to this time.

What are you doing when you suffer these breakages, if you don't mind me asking? I assume off road driving, but specifics? Two in six months is ridiculous.

Loving these write ups, man. Taking notes on all your chosen locales for when I finally get to take my big trip.

A little trail action.

Parked at the Lake.

Did the Fortune Creek run with The Northwest Xterra Club this weekend. It was a fun trail, terminating in a mountain lake. Here's a few photos, some of which I stole from Trixter404 (hope you don't mind, Steve).

Nice! Are you going to be able to get all that installed before the fortune creek run this weekend? What spring rate did you get on the Coilovers?
