My build is extensive, and is always a work in progress. This is my daily driver. I have done most of the work, but not everything myself.

I love the article, but if the idea of sleeping in the snow is scary, come visit the SouthWest. For us winter is pleasantly mild and usually sunny, although periods of cloudy weather and freezing cold do occur. Snow is rare and generally light. In my opinion, it's some of the best camping near...
We have a meet up Saturday, if you are interested. May not be as busy as normally, because we had an event last weekend in San Antonio.

Good food, Great beer, and Overlanding Rigs. What could...
Welcome from Austin, TX. Have fun equipping your Nissan Xterra for Overlanding. Don't let the build hold you back from having adventures now. Your rig is capable already, get out and have a adventure.
One more vote for the Cleanwaste. I can't tell you if it's better or worse then others, because this is the only Field toilet we have used. Before this, we headed out to the tree line with a shovel and TP. This has really improved our experience with Overlanding, especially for my wife.
Since I'm a Jeep owner, let me make the case to look at a Jeep. Every community has a Jeep club. It is very common for the Jeep community to get together and work on their vehicles. In every city/town I have lived in, the Jeep community is always willing to help. This built in support...
Welcome from Austin, TX. (Formally from Orange Co, CA). Cool FJ, I love that you do most of your own mods. Hope our paths cross some day, so I can see this rig in person.
We have a few state parks, and National parks that are great. Im planning a trip to Big Bend National Park soon, I haven't done this one, but have heard nothing but good. A back country permit is important, to really enjoy Overlanding their.
That seems like a reasonable price. I was an early adopter of this NEMO bag, so paid a bit more. My wife and I both use the bags. She uses the standard bag (she is 5'6"), I use the long bag (I'm 6'5"). She tells me, my bag has more room in the body. I hope this would help with the pup...
The good news, the next time you see a trail a bit more challenging, you will think back on this experience and say "no problem, the truck has seen worse".
I use the spoon-shaped Nemo. I love the Thermo Gills that let me regulate the temperature. If you go this direction, get the long version, it will provide a little more room for your Dog to get comfortable. This bag is great, packs small, and really is comfortable. I never liked traditional...
This may be another option. Still a little hi in the price, but the options for mounting kit are Fantastic.

Have you spent much time in the Big Bend backcountry? That's my next trip. I'm new to Texas, and would love to explore Big Bend NP (and Big Bend Ranch State Park) Back country. It's off road, but not very technical. A stock 4Runner would have no problems. I have lots of off road experience...
