    DMSKI's 2006 Xterra

    There just aren't a lot of options out there that I know of, I LOVE the look and use of my Gobi and fully plan on buying once for our JKU as that continues it's build and eventual replacement of the Xterra. All that said, frontrunner for a non-Jeep is the way to go. The modularity is undeniable...

    07BlackSpecV's other Build and Adventure Rig

    Haven't made a ton of progress lately but we are laying out a future plan for the JKU to be our Xterra's successor. Probably going to do a Gobi rack, AEV wheels, and tire carrier accessories (Fuel Caddy, High Lift Mount, Bomber Products Maxtrax Mount, Baja backup lights) to finish out this...

    Hello from a fellow Ohioan! Sharp looking build and really looking forward to how you do this and where you go with it!

    2019 Baja XL Rally

    Whoa, this post deserves way more attention. This is awesome! Good for you guys getting out there and doing something awesome. Wish there was something close to me to do. What an adventure.

    07BlackSpecV's Junior Overland 2008 Nissan Xterra

    So we were at the fateful 2018 Expo East. It was tough but fun. Watching people struggle around in the mud we decided to stay parked and while at the truck making lunch and dinner we used our Maxtrax to keep traffic moving or from sliding down into the creek. We had great neighbors and great...

    DMSKI's 2006 Xterra

    We are loving our AT3Ws still on the JKU and my Xterra. Ate up running between spectator stages at the Sno Drift Rally a couple weeks ago. After seeing more pics of your rig I regret not doing a Titan Swap but oh well. Truck looks really good man.

    07BlackSpecV's Junior Overland 2008 Nissan Xterra

    Well, we really didn't get to travel this year but we have 3 smaller trips we are doing this fall. September's has already come and gone with a trip up to the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan for KOAR 2018 (Keweenaw Overland Adventure Retreat). It was the first year for this event and gave a easy...

    07BlackSpecV's Junior Overland 2008 Nissan Xterra

    I just got back from a trip to the UP of Michigan and think I experienced it a coupe of times on trail. Am planning on adding UCA's, 1" spacers, and shackles next year to go 3" so will probably have to clearance the coil buckets anyway. That being said, my current review of the OME HD kit with a...

    07BlackSpecV's Junior Overland 2008 Nissan Xterra

    We finally pulled the trigger on a RTT. Seems really overkill for us but seems really comfortable. Decided to match our awning with an ARB Simpson. Will be using it next weekend for the first time at KOAR in the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan. IMG_0003 by Jordan Schutt, on Flickr IMG_0005 by...

    The Rube Goldberg Machine Build - 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon Hard Rock

    Awesome. Just awesome. Your trip photos make my soul ache. The wife and I spent 10 days bumming around Colorado last summer with our Xterra and if I wasn't already head over heals in love with Northern Michigan I'd be pulling up stakes here in Ohio to move west. Really enjoyed the thread. Keep...

    07BlackSpecV's Junior Overland 2008 Nissan Xterra

    I'm running at about 34 or 36 psi. That's what i ran my other wild peaks at and they still had half their tread left after ~40,000 miles with no weird wearing. They are an absolute tank in the snow though, much much improved over the AT2. Will be getting them on some loose stuff in September up...

    07BlackSpecV's other Build and Adventure Rig

    We got the lift on last weekend, that was a job and a half. Also, had to rush order in a 5.5" long 1/2-20 bolt because the bolts AEV sends with their tire carrier won't work with stock wheels and 35's. This lift dwarfs my Xterra with it's OME HD suspension we just put on. Looking forward to...

    Ya man, I like them a lot. I like them so much I just put them on our Jeep in 315/70/17.

    Got the "35's" on it tonight in prep for the lift install Saturday. Already looking and feeling better. IMG_3570 by Jordan Schutt, on Flickr IMG_3571 by Jordan Schutt, on Flickr IMG_3572 by Jordan Schutt, on Flickr IMG_3573 by Jordan Schutt, on Flickr

    07BlackSpecV's other Build and Adventure Rig

    We got to work on what we could. I have a friend coming up next weekend to help me put the suspension on and am going to get it in this week to put the tires on. I should be able to run it a limited amount with just spacers on. Spacers are temporary right now, we couldn't decide what wheels to...
