    She'd just wrap it up like she did there! :tearsofjoy: I have to go unwind her about every hour. She only works in clockwise circles...

    Western Virginia Monthly Meetup (old thread)

    Wondering if everyone wants to try to do something on the 17th? I've got a lot of catching up on projects as the summer has really come screaming up on me without warning and I'm getting behind, but I'd be up for a day trip out to meet-up with everyone. That'll be the end of my vacation week...

    Communications

    There was a thread that dealt with common frequencies as well, but I can't seem to remember which one. If I get a bit of time today, I'll look for it if @Steve doesn't remember it.

    Ham Radio - HF/VHF/UHF

    What mount are you running on the drivers side? I have a similar mount to your passenger side one on my Xterra but have been looking for something to hold hamsticks or even a 102" CB antenna.

    Question for fellow OB Nissan 2nd Gen Xterra Owners - Rear suspension bottoming out FIX?

    I spent Friday evening and Saturday running roads/trails from mild dirt roads to pretty rough forest service roads covered in small rocks and dips and now I'm really dieing for new shocks. I had the rear loaded with a small cooler, water jug, and all the associated camping gear and it was brutal...

    6-2-17 Covington, Va to Harrisonburg, Va: the long way round.

    So after making it off the trail, I was still out of cell service and a couple hours late for meeting up with Mike in Harrisonburg. I decided to just bust tail on 33 toward Harrisonburg till I got signal and try to get a hold of him to see what the plan was. Just outside of town, I finally got...

    6-2-17 Covington, Va to Harrisonburg, Va: the long way round.

    Day 2: My day started about 1:00am when I was awoken by a horrible pain in my foot, I had apparently shifted in my hammock and my left heel was jammed into the side and was aching something awful. It took about an hour to get my position fixed and my heel to stop hurting. About that time a...

    6-2-17 Covington, Va to Harrisonburg, Va: the long way round.

    Well my first real trip is under my belt and I'm pretty happy with the Xterra! I started out Friday around 11:30 am, leaving the house headed on a mostly unknown route headed north from my house toward Harrisonburg, Va. Now this normally would be about an hour and a half drive, and it wound up...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Finished the post trip checkout, tagged two skids, both step rails and the center section of the rear diff. Putting at least my 1" lift on and a set of sliders moved way up the to-do list.

    Ozark Trail coolers

    I bought a 26 before leaving for my little solo trip Friday and I'm really happy with it. Its the perfect size for one person for a couple days or a couple people for one day. I filled it about half full of ice just after buying it and its still got plenty of ice after about two days of regular...

    And I'm home. I'll try to upload some pictures later but I had a blast. All told, looks like a little over 300 miles total and about 16hrs worth of drive time. Plus possibly a new member and getting to grab supper with Mike. It's been a good couple of days but I need a shower.

    Communications

    I've actually got a poll going in the communication forum on this very topic! Hop over and vote. I was trying to give everyone a good idea of what everyone else was using with it so people could make a decision about what to get. Great minds, am I right...

    Question for fellow OB Nissan 2nd Gen Xterra Owners - Rear suspension bottoming out FIX?

    My 07 S does the same with a load and I'm not ready to lift yet, so I'm going to add the Helwig helpers and a new pair of shocks. I have a set of Timbren bums and Radflo rear shocks, but right now my ride height is so low that the Timbrens will be in constant contact with the axle and the...

    I'm planning on leaving here sometime Friday before noon, headed up toward North River Campground near Churchville. Saturday, yabbaz can't go so I'm not completely sure what I'll be doing.

    Hey guys, just checking in to see if anyone else was interested in a June Meetup? I'm planning a little short trip through GWNF this weekend from Friday to Saturday. I'm starting here in Covington and heading over some Forest Service roads to come out near Staunton. Still not 100% on what I'm...

I think I'm going to try to meet up with @yabbaz around Charlottesville Saturday and check out a couple...

    Asking

    Does it start and run? Then the answer is yes! It just depends on how far you want to take things. The wife and I have talked for a few years about a cross country trip in a Miata!
