Looks like a great time with the boy. You'll enjoy the Xterra, looks like it will suite your lifestyle well.

I'll be there, as well. Unfortunately I likely won't be getting there until Friday afternoon or evening because of work. I look forward to meeting you guys there.

Great trip report! I know that whole area very well, as I've spent the last 6 months exploring it every weekend while I was at Huachuca for a course. Here's me about 3 weeks ago just off of Montezuma Canyon Rd, west of the mountains. Here's a close up of the San Rafael Valley memorial I took a...

Thanks, and sounds like a plan! I do plan on attending the Northwest Overland event in Plain, not sure if anyone else is planning on heading out there?

I've been here a day and a half, and I'm already disenchanted with the traffic. The desire to avoid it is having me house hunt further from post than I'd like. The area really is beautiful, though.

Great photos! I'm hoping to make it to Wyoming now that I'm a resident of the PNW. These pictures just reaffirm that desire.

If by 'slightly', you mean 'extremely', then yes haha. I loved the scenery, terrain, and lifestyle in Southern AZ, but its definitely nice to see some green and flowing water again.

The ride with the spacers is no different than without, as there top mount and don't compress the springs at all. There would be significant CBC without the new UCAs, though. My only issue with the OME setup up front is the lack of suspension travel, but that is always going to be an issue...

I can't speak for the ruggedized, but I can attest to the fact that the Kukenam Sky is both wind proof and water proof. I recently spent a full night and the following morning getting rained on high in the Huachuca Mountains here in southern AZ, and the wife, dog, and myself stayed completely...

If you're just looking for a small lift and added weight bearing capability, I would recommend the OME setup. I ran the standard OME setup initially and I loved it, great ride off road and on. It also handled the washboards great, which I know is one of your big concerns. You won't need...

Great truck. Just now noticed the 10th MTN plate. I'm an alumnus of that organization, myself.

For what it is, I've got the OME nitro chargers in the rear of my Xterra, and between my AAL and adjustable shackles I've got a little less than 3 inches of suspension lift. Rear suspension travel is not limited at all by these shocks, and it rides great at this height. The sway bar tops out...

My buddy's got the KO2s on his FJ (albeit in the 285 flavor), and they've been great for him thus far. Looks great! I'm looking forward to joining you guys in the PNW here soon.

Do it. We'll need some Nissan representation amongst the inevitable hordes of Jeepers and Toyota folk that will be there.

I'll just be settling in the new house in Washington during that time, but I think I'm going to hit it anyways. It'll get me familiarized with the 'scene' up there.

Thanks! While the 32s never really kept me from getting where I wanted to go, I can definitely tell the difference the 33s provide in the rocks. They should serve me well when I move up to Washington in a few weeks. You're in Montana, are you going to the Northwest Overland Rally?

Well, 285s (33s) happened this week. I was tired of catching my LCAs on rocks. I stuck with Duratracs, as this will be my third set on multiple vehicles and they've never failed me and are extremely versatile. I was able to sell my 265s on craigslist in less than 12 hours to cover much of the...

Gorgeous frontier. I love my Xterra, but I occasionally get truck-bed envy. Good luck with the coopers. My brother just had a set put on his F-150 and has nothing but good things to say about them.

Great report, and I love the Copperhead photo. Being a native of Durham, myself (Bahama, actually), I regret never making it to Uwharrie when I still lived in NC. Thanks for the post!

I definitely want to spend some time in Idaho, though it likely won't be on the way up. I plan on spending 4 or 5 years in the PNW, so I'll have time to venture.
