Welcome... MNCarl here from CF. If you are all planning on an overland build for your truck, IE off-roading you will want to piurchase "Rock Sliders" instead of "Side Steps". Those step bars / side step things can actually cause more damage to the side of your truck if you hit a rock...

Lola with a "bumper monkey"

I built a wood ....not sure what to call it... a wood buck and bolted the wood buck to my floor jack and to the bumper. I can remove and install the bumper by myself...no help needed.

I am ready for winter... Purchased some LT285/75R16 Cooper Discoverer M&S Winter / Snow tires from Discount Tire today. Had them mounted on my extra set of stock PRO-4X rims. Let it snow , let it snow, let it snowwwww.

Removed my Leer fiberglass topper and had a bed rack for my roof top tent fabricated by True North Fabrications. The roof top tent would have most likely been fine attached to the Thule rack on my Leer topper if I was just buzzing down the highway and some occasional dirt roads but I was worried...

Funny you should ask I was just about to get to that ....as the "build part" of my thread. See next post.

We had our annual Midwest Overland Society get together this weekend in northern Minnesota. Good times !!!!

Installed a mobile ham radio....it works a lot better than the handheld is was using. ***************************************************************************************** Got and awesome deal on a "used" Tepui roof top tent

Geno!! Welcome to Expo. Yes good times at Goose Lake !! I am 'game' to make the long drive from Minnesota to come out to your beautiful back yard for another overlanding adventure....although I just started a new job and I only have Qty 5 vacation days, so not sure if I can swing a trip this...

Tom, Thanks again for taking the time to plan the Morrison trail trip. Wyoming and Montana are truly amazing, thanks for having me out to your back yard. Awesome pics, Its amazing what a real camera and photographer can do. No apologies needed for what ever on the trail, don't sweat it.

Thanks for taking the time to post up and letting us see all the beautiful pics. You saw a m0oSe ? HHmmmmmmmmm. LOL

I just recently got my Ham license and like you stated some people on trail rides only have CB radios. I have a Cobra 75 WX ST with a magmount antenna. https://www.cobra.com/products/recreational/c-75-wx-st

I have a SuperWinch TS9500 on my Nissan Frontier. The TS9500 is nice because it has a sealed solenoid pack. If you get the TS9500 and want to run synthetic rope make sure you get the TS9500-SR (It ships with the synthetic rope), as you cannot put synthetic rope on the regular TS9500 (Ships with...

I think what is going to be a lug wrench in your request is the "Trails" part of your requirements and or the XM/Satellite Radio. The after market head units like Pioneer, Alpine, and Kenwood are very proprietary, meaning you cannot load trail mapping aps like BackCountry navigator onto the head...

Beautiful snow pics !! Love this build....especially the new style pro4x rims/wheels with the BFG KO2's Question....? Any noticeable difference in the snow between your Xterra with the BFG KO2's and the Xterra with the Goodyear Duratracs ?

In one of the pics you can see the winch is a Warn Vantage 4000-S https://www.warn.com/atv/winches/Vantage_4000-s.jsp From the looks of the Warn website it is a winch for a Side-by-side.

Wow that big wood stove in there is crazy.... I like the fact that it still looks like a school bus. With that wood stove and wood work (cedar?) it could also be a mobile sauna. Or drill some holes in the floor and it is a mobile ice fishing house.

Wow thats one heck of a build... Titan swapped , with 35's and properly re-geared.

For a 2016 your rear leaf springs are fairly new and most likely not sagging yet. You could most likely get by with a (2 leaf add a leaf) and add that to your existing stock rear leaf springs. You can run this with or without the stock nissan overload leaf. No overload leaf = better...

Internet friends !!!! LOL Yes it was great to meet you and Cayla and have some good times
