    CapeXterra's Build

    If the radiator has ban replaced you can hook the internal cooler back up without worry and have the added cooling capacity.

    Communications for the Beginner

    You use a SWR meter in line between the radio and the antenna and adjust for lowest SWR. You can get inexpensive SWR meters online and they come with detailed instructions to walk you through the process. You'll need a short coax jumper to go between the radio and SWR meter as well when you...

    CapeXterra's Build

    Looking forward to it! I'm trying to find alternatives to the DepHep for my Xterra. I found an aluminum rack I can pretty easily cut down to fit inside the factory rack but I wish I could swing a full replacement rack like the Gobi rack.

    Western VA Monthly Meetups

    Hey everyone! Next month we have the Prepper Festival in New Castle Va on the 6th from 9am till 5pm. It's an interesting experience that has some off-the-grid living info as well as camping and outdoors gear. I'm planning on attending and possibly camping afterward. If anyone is interested we...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Prepping for camping this weekend. We're just going up to the local lake to spend a couple nights and test out the new tent. Hopefully this will get everyone ready for camping on the OBX this summer!

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

    Wife just messaged to say the new tent has been delivered. Giggity!

    Western VA Monthly Meetups

    That could very well happen! I would love to check out some new places in the state I've never been! @cash9300 where are you located? Keep check on the three state threads and we may very well take you up on the offer to trail guide if none of the locals are familiar with that area. I'm from...

    Western VA Monthly Meetups

    Ok guys, this thread is kinda quiet. Please speak up and let us know what you'd like to do! Initially I had planned on an informal get- to- know- everyone type meeting then possibly do a trail day or overnight ride this summer as well. @yabbaz has been working on a state wide meetup run...

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

    Will do! That's exactly the situation for us, -1 dog. We had an Ozark Trail 10 man dome tent for some years but it died a miserable death at the hands of local fall weather year before last. We decided to try an instant Coleman and I bought a 4 man on an Amazon Lightning Deal a few weeks ago. It...

    Electric Fans

    I prefer engine driven, thermal clutch type fans that would have come on your Ramcharger equipped with factory A/C. They are designed to deal with idling in traffic with the A/C on and if you are not having cooling issues while doing this, you are simply adding another possible failure point to...

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

    Ordered a 10 man Coleman instant tent yesterday. Next thing will probably be a timing set service on the Xterra.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I got a wild hair after supper and with the help of my trusty 1/2" impact, pulled the rear swaybar of the Xterra! Rear RadFlos should be here shortly and then I've got to get the rear AALs and u-bolt flip for it.

    New OLB Forum Theme!

    May just be your eyes, I have astigmatism and the characters are easier for me to pick out on a dark background in subdued colors, even with corrective lenses. The amount of light entering my eye with the white background is not as comfortable for me.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Nice carnage! I went with a buddy in the fall to Uwharrie and we did that exact same thing to the 31 spline shaft in his F150. We lucked out and found a pair of shafts in a junk yard and had it back together by lunch and wheeling. There are pictures in the trip report forum here from the trip...

    I prefer the current theme myself.
