    A buddy and I found out the plastic hose for his little portable compressor had decayed and broken into pieces at the top of one of the mountains in Harlan, Ky all alone when he bashed a when into a rock and bent it and we out the spare on to find out that the spare was also flat. Good times! I...

    Biggest failure ever

    Wow... That really makes you think, but even the hard core 4x4 guys get in those situations. I'll look for the story I read some time ago about a guy stranded a couple days in the trail after his "buddies" abandoned him with truck issues. But I think for $16k I would have just bought the car...

    Ok, do you guys want to push the meet-up till the 15th then? I can change it in the calender and we can go with that if that works better for everyone. Tomorrow I'm going to be checking out that dutch oven introduction at Sportsmans Warehouse in Roanoke from 1-3pm I think. I'll probably be...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I installed Helwig 550 helper springs and a new set of Bilstein 4600 rear shocks to bolster up the rear of the Xterra until I lift it.

    @xnooby63 , @witchdoctor_33 , and @Darrell say they can't make the 8th. Would the 15th work better for everyone or was anyone else planning on trying to make it out on the 8th? Would a Friday or Sunday work better?

    Mission BBQ is good, I've eaten at the one in Roanoke and one in Richmond, but we're trying to stick to the Lexington area so everyone has about an hours drive. It's a two hour drive to C-ville for me and about the same from Roanoke.

    POLL: What is your average MPG?

    My basically stock Xterra with 5 people and camping gear got almost 21mpg on the highway coming back from the Outer Banks. That was with everything inside the Xterra except the cooler and one large tote on the hitch carrier. It's made me rethink my future tire choices and gear choices.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I had to repair my antenna mount on the hatch. I'm running a 102" whip cut down to 54" for 6m use on it right now. While we were in town yesterday, my wife opened the hatch and the antenna came down into the rear door jam. When my daughter closed her door, it caught the antenna and before I...
