2004 XTerra - Adventure Rig

Speaking of dirt, I finally had some time to go out and explore a bit. School has been hectic, but I finished everything yesterday, so I was able to play today. After studying, projects, quizzes and numerous assignments, I rewarded myself by venturing off for a few hours.


First stop was to fill up. I threw away my 5-Gallon because the gasket was busted. It just leaves me with my primary tank, which I only had to pay $16 or so to fill.

Afterwards, was Athens Boonesboro; the community I mentioned prior. It's amazing to see a small community outside a busy and chaotic Lexington. It's an area right outside of town that houses a very small community. I've known about this area, because it's where I went to grade school. I drove up and down the "Main Street" and saw a few POI. Additionally, some teenagers drove by as I was photographing, and gave me a look. Either way, I was ready for anything, considering I have a CCW.

Next, I drove down a road I've never been to. I tried to find a location to explore, but got nothing. However, I did find some mud to test the new tires. I've been craving to try them out, off pavement.

By this time, the sun was peeking out among the horizon, and I thought I'd grab a few shots on a horse farm that I passed. Glad I did. It turned out for some great lighting, and even better shots!

Next, I travelled to a bridge that connected my county with a neighboring county. Under the bridge, there was a very small path that looked off-road worthy. Once again, I was here, so I went for it. After a few laps back and forth, I decided to get some recording done (seen on my IG) and some photographs as well. I was here for almost an hour, considering there was so many angles, and the lighting was great!

Afterwards, I headed back into town, but stopped in at Home Depot to grab some washers for my PIAA520s that I'll be hooking up eventually. I bought them a few weeks before Jack (Brian) did, and he already has his installed... In Michigan weather lol.

Lastly, I went back home, grabbed my pup and went to the dog park. Dirt is encrusted on the body, but that doesn't bother me none, considering rain will fall tomorrow and early this week.

Looking great Jonny! Love the look of your X! Ours will pretty much be twins once I get around to installing my lift and ordering my bumper! Actually started following you on Instagram too.

Great stuff! But don't make it look too similar! Lol

I'll probably come around to get help installing my PIAAs early next week. Also, The Kentucky South Adventure begins NEXT Sunday! Packing/prepping gear next Friday for a Saturday morning departure.

100W PIAA H3 bulbs are on the way. Big thanks to Richard for sending them off!

Also, day one of our expedition starts now. Thinking about creating a mini documentary on it.

Re-did my limb risers for this upcoming weekend trip. I wanted to minimize the amount of hardware, as well as throw in springs for better tension. I'm happy with the result. MUCH easier for setup and takedown.

Nice rig, I'm in southern Ohio and go to Kentucky alot. We have a similar spec SC 03 x, we should get together for a adventure. If you have the time hit the Pikeville area and run to the gorge.

As this weekend comes to a close, I'm proud to say that I'm an official member of Nissan Offroad Southeast (NORSE). I have never joined an offroad club, so this is my first. These guys are a great bunch, and very close/tight-knit.

It was good to finally put profile pictures to faces, as well as meet others. Thanks to Jim O'Sullivan for spotting me, and watching in time of need, as well as Stephen Bingemer for welcoming the Lexington crew, and bringing us in. Lastly, a special thanks to Sean Creighton for helping me out with my membership. Until next time, with the goat sacrificial offerings.
