My Bronco is getting built this month so I thought I would start out a build thread. This probably wont be a major build thread for reasons I will get to, but it will serve to document my experiences and travels with it. First a little bit about my history. I have another fairly large build...

Next Friday my brother and I will be heading out on a weeklong trip through the Appalachian Mountains on Americas East coast, they are one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world. You can read about our other adventures in the region from the links below...

Late last summer, my brother and I took a week and explored the Pennsylvania Wilds. We had a great time, it was our first vehicle based trip of any substantial length and our first into the United States. We had a spectacular time in Bald Eagle State Forest and knew immediately that we would...

My current boots have had their last day in the sun. They were made by Asolo, but I cannot remember the model. They were an older version similar to the TPS 535 V They were great boots and have lasted me through 12 winters and summers. The leather upper is still in pretty good shape, but...

I have seen this in a few other manufacturers sub-forums here and I thought it might be a good idea to have a running registry of the Nissan trucks that frequent this section. That way anyone who is new or researching vehicles can easily browse through what people have done here and have easy...

The following pages will be a brief re-telling of an adventure my brother and I took upon last week. We have both been members here for a few years now. It was actually my brother who turned me onto this site, as at the time I drove a 2007 VW GTI, and the thought of driving over even a well...

has anyone looked at this tire? announced back in January it looks like and due to hit shelves in a month or so. Looks a little more aggressive than the silent armour with larger tread voids. kevlar side walls and lots of siping it looks like...

This past weekend my brother and I headed out for a weekend of camping relaxation, and most importantly a shake-down trip. We are head into Pennsylvania mountains for 7 days the first week of September. Our grandfather had a farm outside of Campbellford, Ontario, Canada. When he passed away...

Cool old video, some have probably seen it, others maybe not. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkirgZdywZA keys points to note: @ 4:00 in the video the most important lesson, before you can engage low range properly you must engage sunglasses Also at the end of the video, it basically says...

I am currently in the middle of a 6 weeks stretch of work in the town of Kincardine which is in southwestern Ontario, Canada. This week instead of making the 3 hour trip home, I would stay the weekend. I have done this many times before, and the area is beautiful. My brother came up for the...

I am in a small town on Ontario's Lake Huron Coast for work. The town is Kincardine. I was walking back from dinner tonight and I spotted this series 1 215 85 R16 tires, looks like an original survivor, little rough shape but I bet still runs just fine. I was in a bit of a hurry so the...

Anyone heard of Martin portable refrigerators, they sell them at Sail locations here in Canada. The model they carry is 45L and is $375 regular price, they often have 20% off camping supplies so that would put it somewhere below $300 (plus tax). It also has the option to run off propane...

Found this in an old Automobile from June 1987. I love these old car magazine articles, some pretty corny lines. To be honest, I love these first generation pathfinders. As those in the rust belt know, not easy to find one in good shape, if I had been able to find one I would probably be...

Does anyone have pictures of an XJ on 215 85 R16s? if so what lift? thanks!

I need a bit of help, or at least some steering in the right direction. The cursory look I have made into lifts for Xterra's all provide 3 plus inches. I am looking just for 1.5 or 2 max. I am running 235 85 R16 and won't be saying any rock crawling. I have thought of the PML but my truck is...

My brother and I went a little weekend adventure to check out some of the dirt roads near our cottage in Eastern Ontario last weekend. We ran the Lingham lake hydro line, then proceeded to explore some dirt tracks we found in our Backroads Map-book for Eastern Ontario. Our trip was completed...

I bought my Xterra in December of 2011. Its actually my first 4x4 that I have owned, and my second vehicle. I drove this GTI around for 4 years before. It is isnt my first experience with a truck though, we had lots growing up. We had 1988, 1992 and 1996 4runners as well as a 2001 Durango...

I am looking at putting 235 85 R16 BFG ATs on my 2001 Xterra, (load range E). Any picture of any truck with any tire 235 85 R 16 would be great, the other option is 265 75 R16 but I like the tall and skinny look thank you
