    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Visited Blue Ridge Overland Gear today and picked up one of the new medium sized first aid bags and their small map pouch. The first aid bag fits in the factory first aid pack spot on the rear gate of my Xterra. I transferred the contents of the factory pouch over and now I've got to have the...

    Air filters - paper vs reusable

    I use A.C. Delco paper filters in my vehicles. I saw a test somewhere that compared the different filter types and the Delco ones flowed the most consistently over their lifetime and also filtered smaller particles than most others. I'll have to try to dig up the article.

    Tru-trac experiences

    I have a friend who's run them front and rear in two vehicles now. A 90s Bronco and a JKU. They take a different driving style than lockers but work exceptionally well. A light touch of brake to bias them and they'll pull all four almost as good as a locker will. Once you learn how to drive with...

    What are your best cold weather tips?

    Don't go out in the cold! I don't know if its my blood pressure meds or being in my 30s but I just can't deal with the cold like I used to. If my feet ever get cold, I'm DONE for. I'll be cold all day regardless. I passed on getting in a heated pool the other day because it wasn't warm enough...

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    Found a set of SPC UCAs for the Xterra and working on a deal for a set of front lift struts. That'll pretty much complete my lift. Then I've got to save up for a winch bumper to carry my Warn Zeon 10-s winch.

    Cleaning Coleman dual burner cooker

    Use some seafoam in a few tanks of the coleman white gas. It'll help clear the generator and probably get you back in business. Using regular unleaded gas (RUG in the Coleman community) you'll see shorter life from the generator but with a little maintenance they'll still do fine for a long...

    What goes on TOP and what goes INSIDE??

    For us, the camper would be to establish a base camp most of the time instead of towing on the trail. At the same time, I'm buying my Xterra parts to build a vehicle to tow with as well as off-road. I've pulled trailers off-road my whole life on the farm and for most of what I do, I think I...

    What goes on TOP and what goes INSIDE??

    We use a pop up canopy instead of a vehicle mounted one so it usually gets strapped to the roof. Also, our 10 man tent gets strapped up there occasionally too. On the east coast, trails are so tight that anything on the roof takes a beating so we usually manage to pack everything inside and use...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Unboxed my Warn winch I finally received and filled out the paperwork for the rebate to mail tomorrow. Now on to bumper shopping.

    Adding a Winch

    A good come along rated high enough to extract a vehicle is gonna be about $350. I've used one quite a bit. It's not fun... I just bought a Warn 10-s Zeon winch for my Xterra. They sell packages with the receiver carrier and winch with the extended cables and are eligible for a rebate till Dec...

    Communications for the Beginner

    The cobra 19dxivlvth4-366/14.251a6^3 or whatever the designation is now (19dxiv or ultra iii haha) is a solid, small package and affordable radio. A slightly larger is the 18wxst-ii is a good one, has the weather channels and is a good choice as well. I personally ONLY use 102" whips with CB...

    What I got for Christmas this year...

    My sliders were my Christmas presents, but I managed to finally sell my old K5 Blazer and ordered a Warn winch, Ram phone mount and will hopefully be ordering a front bumper this week as well! Not exactly Christmas, just liquidating some junk...

    US East Northern VA / MD Monthly Meetups

    Congrats on the Jeep Nick. As for the ride, I'm not gonna make it. Busy day here and I didn't have a chance to get the Xterra loaded and ready to go. On the plus side, I ordered a 10k warn zeon with synthetic line and bought a set of Alcan rear lift springs for it today. Hope to order any...
