I will qualify this statement by admitting I run DuraTracs, which are not a true MT but they work well in everything except sticky mud (which most mud is...). The friends I have that run MTs have had great success with and heavily recommend the Toyo MT. They have excellent grip, shed mud well...

Very Nice! Looking forward to seeing your rig in person tomorrow at Hollister. SOOOOOOO jealous of that trailer! Looks like an excellent setup for your family.

OK.... the Goodyear page does not indicate the tread or sidewall plies but I agree with Glenn that you will be ok at 20PSI. When you do get new tires consider stepping up a size and going for a D or E rated tire to get the stronger sidewall construction for use off road. Since you are in the...

It sounds like maktruk and I will be down there. We'll be on CH 22 and will try to be at the main obstacle course at 10. See you tomorrow.

One of the guys I was with last weekend in D/V was in touch with the rangers and found out that the Racetrack has actually been driven on 3 times in the past 6 months or so. Hopefully these are not copy cats....

What tires and load rating do you have? How many plies are the tread and sidewalls? What is the manufacturers recommended street pressure?

There is a Nissan event called GoneMoab coming to town May 21st - 26th. They are expecting several hundred vehicles and have organized trail runs for all abilities. There is also a multi day 'Overlanding' run. Several OB members will be attending including myself. See the website link below...

OK... good to hear first hand information. I wanted to get up there during my trip but my friend who was supposed to join me could not make it. Thanks for the clarification.

Spring nuts for the Uni Strut with 3/8" threaded rod and some PVC pipe with washers and nuts. Then I put a ceiling mount light fixtures plate on top and screw it down with some wing nuts.

I created a cheap low profile rack using Uni Strut and some anti vibration mounts from McMaster Carr. You can see more info in my build thread.

I was in DV this past w/e. We took 8 rigs from Panamint Springs to South Pass then down Saline Valley Road and over Lippincott Road to the Racetrack. From there we visited Lost Burro Mine and Ubehebe Crater before camping in Furnace Creek. We spent about an hour at the Racetrack, some time at...

I looked for a previous thread on this subject but could not find it. In case you missed it, here is a link to an article with pictures about the damage: https://petapixel.com/2016/09/19/vandalism-iconic-racetrack-death-valley-national-park/ I was in Death Valley this past weekend and went to...

I'll be camping at Panamint Springs CG wed, thu and sat night and at Texas Springs CG near Furnace Creek on fri. Our group of 9 rigs will be leaving from the gas station in Panamint Springs btwn 8:15 - 8:30 Fri for a loop over Lippincott Rd to the racetrack and Ubehebe Crater then head down to...

The rear lower shock mounts on the Xterra hang down and are vulnerable to rock damage. Mine had already taken some hits and sustained some minor damage. I decided to buy the bolt on skids that NissTec offers since they were on sale for about $100. The install is relatively simple and now they're...

I bet your kids would have a great time at Calico ghost town near Yermo. Here is a link - http://cms.sbcounty.gov/parks/Parks/CalicoGhostTown.aspx Hungry Valley is a super fun place to wheel and has trails for every ability. There are a bunch of campgrounds to choose from but I like Cottonwood...

I have several friends who ran the Rubicon last year. To get a good idea of what you will be encountering, take a look at this thread on ClubFrontier - http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f15/nisscon-16-nissans-rubicon-trail-256177/ I have not been on this trail but have had extensive...

Last thing I bought and installed was a Shrockworks front bumper I have ordered and am waiting for some rear shock mount skids and bushings for my OME leaf packs

I created some post's that screw into spring nuts in the Uni Strut and I tighten them down with wing nuts for easy access.

I needed a spot to securely mount the High Lift, 4 Gal Rotopax, Traction Boards and shovel so I borrowed an idea and made some changes to the design. It needed to be low profile enough to get in the garage and clears by about 4"s.

I received the JumpStarter/Compressor and want to thank ASNOBODY for his super generous gift. You just made my day my friend! :smile: The jump starter will be a great addition to my tool kit and the compressor is an excellent back up to my Viair.
