    Aux Transmission Cooler

    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...

    Steens Mountain Loop Road

    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...

    11.15 Film Screening

    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...

    Ronnie Dahl giveaway...

    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)

    Undercoating/Rustproofing

    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...

    Interstate 90 Advice

    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...

    Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid

    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...

    Portland Area Shop?

    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?

    New vs. Old

    http://www.outsideonline.com/2128256/new-vs-old-which-4x4s-are-better-road 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.

    General Grabber AT's

    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...

    201 Solar Eclipse

    Hey All- Anyone have plans for next year's eclipse yet? First one since 1979. I think I'll be taking to rig to Central/Eastern Oregon somewhere...
