Ok. Didn't know I could do it myself. Thanks for the advice

The one demand my Wife made when we started in on this overland adventure travel, was the inclusion of a proper throne for herself.

I took advantage of the extra day off yesterday and mounted the Firestik antenna that I had bought for myself as a little birthday gift last month. I bought the door jamb mount, and had to "coax" an extra angle into it, to fit between the body and the light housing. I also dremelled (is that a...

Two of them here.

I have 2 75 watt solar panels that I use on our travel trailer. I keep them as a mobile unit, and generally will take 1 along with the Xterra when overlanding. I have solar controller mounted permanently in the travel trailer, and another mounted in the Xterra. I really only use the solar panel...

Great pictures, lotsa Xterra love going on that weekend. I rarely see another kitted out X around these parts, and to have 3 X cousins on the same weekend run was pretty cool.

"manbearpig".....yeh, thanks for that. The Wife and I cannot stop talking about the manbearpig now.....great. I think we saw one on the way home Sunday. Either that or a stump.
