So if you're looking for a portable solution, these are both great options. Honestly, I feel like the jackery is a better value for the money. The only thing I would worry about is whether or not the 12v port is regulated or not. If not, the output voltage will drop as the battery depletes. This...

This is what I built in the back of my Xterra.

This is the way. I'd add fuel as well. I started using a cheapo ground tent, and cooked on the tailgate of the truck. My first ever trip was 4 days with complete strangers. I had a blast, made some great friends, and was instantly hooked. I'm a big fan of buy once cry once. But, sometimes...

I mean, I wish we could get older patrols here. I'd literally murder someone to get my hands on a Y60 or Y61. I do really like the Y62 model though. And yours is a good build. What are your storage plans?

I wish Nissan brought the international spec patrol here, but still, sick build man!

How much would you want for it. Shoot me a pm, and maybe we can work something out. :grinning:

Very nice. It's certainly a much simpler wiring job than my setup. I thought you went with the Auxbeam controller though? What happened that made you opt to use the SPOD?

Quite the transformation! I love the way it looks.

I know xterras and frontiers pretty well, as I have both. You can absolutely do what you want in a stock 4wd xterra. I would suggest spending the money you would be using for those mods to beefing up your camping setup. Build a camping setup that allows you to sleep in the rig comfortably, and...

I crossed that exact bridge last year. It's definitely wider than 50". I had to go and find my track that I recorded to make sure, but I **think** you should be able to cross there without any issues. Don't murder me if I'm wrong though. This was last June.

So, I finished installing the new harness yesterday, and did some testing. No more blowing taillight fuses! Now, everything seems to be working properly, except for one wire in the harness that runs from the switch box to the back. For now, I'll run with three working switches up front, as...

Looks like a solid start! Are you planning on running supports across the roof? The only potential issue I see is with the axle/wheels. I can tell, but if that's not a 3500lb axle, you're going to have issues. If it is, are you planning to put larger tires on it? I would assume the answer is...

Like I said, I don't know if it'll be ready by then. Now that I've figured out my fuse issue, I can focus my energy on the trailer.

Already got the time off work. I've also tracked down what was blowing the tail light fuses, and seemingly fixed it. I'd love to bring the trailer on this one, but don't know if it'll be ready in time.

So the last couple of months I've been blowing taillight fuses. When I wired up the switch panel, I used spade connectors to make it so that I could somewhat easily remove it. In doing so, I must have crossed a wire somewhere. I took the whole thing out, and decided to wire it up using DT...

It's all about finding what you really need, and the only way to do that is to get out there. It took me two years to get my Xterra setup in a way that was somewhat efficient. It's also setup primarily for being solo (ie, no family with me), whereas my trailer I'm building is setup for the...

Made it home a little while ago. Ran into Ean and Lonni at the gas station, and we convoyed back into town, since I had no tail lights again. Gonna park Gamora until I get this sorted out.

You'll get it figured out bro. In the mean time, I'll take lots of pictures nand video. :grinning:

John, we should make sure we hook up. The wife and I are planning on being there this year. I know @David H is planning on going as well.

That's a fair point. My inverter is hard wired into my auxiliary electrical, so it's not likely to rattle loose, but that's not the way everyone does it. As far as charging, it may come down to voltage. Most of these units have an unregulated 12v Charging cord (12v plug on one end, barrel plug...
