Another minor update. Replaced the hatch struts with some from McMaster-Carr. Got the info from an Xterra forum. A little bit more weight lift but adds about 4-5 inches of hatch height. Now I don't have to push the hatch up all the way and it gives me more clearance for my head. Win - Win in my book.

Old one off

Finally made it to Durango, CO for a week long vacation. Such an amazing place. The whole area is awesome and beautiful. Drove almost 2500 miles during the week trip. Lowest MPG was 16 and the highest was 24 (and I had a number of tanks at 20+ mpg), which amazed me. Did some offroading in the area but not as much as hoped. We had a lot of things planned, so we were limited on offroad time. Definitely will be back. The X did great and was so comfortable and nice to travel in. Very happy with the move from the Cherokee we replaced it with.

Just a quick update. The recent heat we had, was causing my Scan Gauge II velcro mount, to come off the dash. I found a company who make an adapter place that allows a RAM mount to be used ( https://smkfabrication.com/product/scangauge-ii-ram-mount/ ). I picked up a base mount, which I mounted to the center console. Happy with how it turned out and now I was able to angle it towards my view.

I hit the screws with a black sharpie
