I bought my Xterra in December 2017. I've only gone off-road once this past February and there's another event I'm going to in May so I can't wait to get more experience.
I'm located in Northern Virginia so if anyone wants a newbie to tag along with them on some fun trails let me know! lol
I just started really getting into overlanding so I don't have a lot of overland gear yet

This makes me miss my 06! I loved that damn rig. So reliable (besides the possible SMOD) but that was easily remedied.

Awesome seeing this! I remember years ago seeing on YouTube a guy who diesel swapped his Xterra. Great job mate!
