I'll be picking up a small cargo trailer soon (dry weight 700lbs, likely never exceed 2000lbs loaded), and in my internet searching to learn more about towing (something I've never done), I keep coming across rec's to add aux tranny coolers and/or fans. I drive a 2011 Xterra S, w/ a tow limit...
Anyone have experience in mid-June on the Steens Mountain Loop Road? I'm planning a trip down there, and based on my work schedule, it's looking like mid-June is the time I'll have to go. Sounds like the road may not be open for the season yet (research tells me July-October is usually...
Hey gang- If you're in the Portland area on November 15th, check this out: https://www.mcmenamins.com/event.aspx?id=178337
Full disclosure- I work there and I handle these kinds of rentals, but I don't stand to gain monetarily from tix sales or anything (tix revenue goes to the group that's...
I reckon most of you saw this organically, considering Ronnie makes some of the best videos out there and most of you already watch him, but if not (and if there's a better spot for this, feel free to move it)
What's everyone doing in the way of protecting the undercarriage from rust/corrosion? It's not something I've ever really thought about (we don't often salt in the Portland area, though it is pretty wet here), but now that I'm investing more in my rig, I'm also considering ways to keep it...
Hey All- I make an annual trip to Sheridan, Wyoming (from PDX) to visit family, and this year I'm hoping to incorporate a bit of camping/exploring along the way. I'd love any rec's for easy trails and good campsites within an hour or so of Interstate 90, on the stretch between Coeur d'Alene and...
I'm trying to convince my better half to buy another small vehicle to serve as a daily driver, so my Xterra can be more of an adventure rig. I like the look of the Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid- anyone have experience with it? I want something safe and efficient, and that seems to fit the bill...
Hey Portland Area OB Folk- I'm looking for a reliable, trustworthy shop in the metro area for those pesky installations I can't manage myself. I can't fit my rig in my garage, and my alley driveway is unpaved, so it's tough to do anything, especially this time of year. Any rec's?

Interesting perspective on a number of rigs not available in the States, but it sounds like the Ranger and Bronco are gonna be worth a look in a few years.
Anyone have experience with these tires? I know how important tires are, and I don't want to skimp, but I can get 5 of these for a couple hundred less than 4 BFG's. Based on reviews and rec's from other forums, they seem to be a good compromise...
