It was fun, indeed! I'm itching to get on the trails of the Pacific Northwest once I make my move to Washington in a month or so. The desert here is beautiful, but I miss trees and flowing water.

That is good news! A U-joint is a much cheaper/easier fix than a differential. It's also comforting to know that these diffs are robust and reliable enough to go 10+ years and still be in 'great shape' when well maintained.

Haven't touched this thread in a while, but here's a short report from a two day trip I made a couple of weekends ago: Spent all day Saturday riding along the border through Coronado National Forest. The day began with some exploration of Coronado Cave, which I highly recommend if you're ever...

Interested to hear your opinion on the ARB bumper. I still can't decide between the ARB and Schrock/Hefty. Nice truck!

Just saw the pictures. Awesome setup. Does the screen room/floor roll up with the rest of the awning, or do you attach it after unrolling the awning itself?

Nice! How do you like the ARB awning? Any pictures of it set up with the screen room? I'd really like to get an awning, but I don't know if I could set it up to clear my RTT with my current setup.

Took the kukenam sky camping in the Huachuca Mountains over the weekend, just north of the US/Mexico border in southern AZ. I've used this thing all over upstate NY, Vermont, North Carolina, and Arizona, but last night was the first time it's seen rain. And boy, did it rain. I'm happy to report...

Did some camping in the Huachuca Mountains just north of the AZ/Mexico border this weekend. Got rained on overnight, but all in all had a great time.

Box Canyon, Florence Az.

I spent the entire weekend around Picacho Peak State Park and on the Box Canyon Trail just east of Florence, Arizona. Myself and two buddies (one with a lifted TRD FJ, the other with a stock JKUR)drove up to Picacho Peak Friday night after work and camped in the shadow of the mountain. We woke...

Thanks man, I appreciate it. I love what you've done with your Frontier Thanks! You'll definitely enjoy the Xterra. You real won't need to do much to make it an overland-capable vehicle, only if you want to do more technical trails while exploring.

Put my new Gobi ladder on the other day: Also, I'll be installing these bad boys when I get the opportunity: I'm currently planning a trip to the Sedona area in the next few weeks, so I've got that to look forward to. Also, it looks like the army is sending me to JBLM in Washington state, so...

Sounds like you're taking the Funvee to a whole new level. Still planning on making a trip out west this summer?

Looks great! Again, living vicariously through you Patrol guys.

Nice X man! I'm digging that rack insert. Similar to the Dephep but looks like it might have more usable storage space. If I didn't have my tent up top all the time, I'd definitely look into a setup like that.

So my parts from PRG came in two weeks ago, and I finally had time to install the spacers, adjustable shackles, and SPC UCAs the past Saturday. On top of the OME setup, this gives me about three inches of lift and still rides really nice. I'm waiting on the sliders from P&P still, it will likely...

Being that I'm temporarily residing in Arizona, it would be foolish of me to forsake the opportunity to hit up the Overland Expo in Flagstaff. Having previously attended both the Mid-Atlantic Overland Festival and the Vermont Overland Rally and Workshop, I know these events can be fun and...

*pours some of his 40oz malt liquor out on the sidewalk* Another one bites the dust. Can't say we didn't see it coming, glad I got the 2014 when I did.

I do fine in the Arizona sandy substrate, but I'm not sure how that stacks up against what you see in Texas. I've also had it out on the Outer Banks beaches in NC and it did great when aired down. With a 2nd generation xterra (2005+) you can fit 285/75/16s with no lift.

Some changes will be coming up for the X in the next few weeks. After deciding I needed a little more lift out of my current set up, but loving the way the OME rides and handles the terrain I explore, I hit up Greg at PRG. Now I've got 1.5 inch spacers, adjustable shackles, and SPC UCAs en...
