  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance August 4th and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    READ ME !

    It doesn't have anything to do with overlanding, but it is a great book about land stewardship and the beauty of the outdoors. A small excerpt from February (my favorite chapter). "There are two spiritual dangers in not owning a farm. One is the danger of supposing that breakfast comes from...

    Rotopax leaking already

    That is encouraging to read ... I have been on the fence about how to carry extra fuel. I like the Jerry cans, but not sure how I will be able to mount them to the new bumper. The Rotopax can be mounted in any number of ways on my rig, but I was hesitant. I will likely give them a try knowing...

    Do you do all your own build labor?

    I HATE working on vehicles. That being said, I like doing the simple things on my Xterra, but I will always leave the headaches for someone else ... doing my part to make the economy work for everyone :sunglasses:

    Another HAM vs GMRS question

    Congrats! I have my general and my GMRS, and would not want to be without either. GMRS for trail comms is great, but if the group gets separated and you can't reach anyone through GMRS, there is a likelihood you can reach someone in the group with a ham radio. Also, there are so many aspects of...

    Mr Buddy Heater Yes/No

    I love my Big Buddy ... I will generally fire it up and let it warm the tent and shut it off before going to bed. I have a Kodiak Canvas (ground tent) and it will generally hold in the heat for several hours. I live in the Ozarks, about 1300 feet above so level, so the altitude has never been an...

    Inexpensive RTT

    I got to look at the Free Spirit High Country and 23 Zero Walkabout RTTS at the MOORE in Springfield, Mo. last weekend. The Free Spirit tents with the tri-layer body are expensive, but look as though you could survive a blizzard in one. The 23 Zero tents are about $1,000 less and are equally...

    MaxTrax / ActionTrax load limits

    I have a 2015 Nissan Xterra Pro-4X ... Weight is not really an issue. I live in the northwest Arkansas and spend most of my time in the Ozark and Mark Twain National forests. I would mainly use recovery boards to get me Xterra out of the slop. We get quite a bit of rain in the Spring and Fall...

    Quick weekend trip around Missouri

    Head southwest to the Chadwick area of the Mark Twain National Forest. You can also spend a day or night at SMORR (Southwest Missouri Off-Road Ranch).

    MaxTrax / ActionTrax load limits

    I like the visibility of the orange ... the blue is nice too, but I will likely go with the orange.

    MaxTrax / ActionTrax load limits

    I recently saw Action Trax at the MOORE in Springfield, Mo. Started looking into them and am really impressed with them as a company. Leaning toward getting a couple sets from them, as opposed to MaxTrax.

    What is the last thing you bought and plan to buy?

    I was finally able to order my lift kit today, 3" lift with coilovers in the front, Piggyback remote reservoirs in the back, new SPC UCAs and dual add-a-leafs. Should be installed and ready to go with new tires (285/75/r16s) and a new alignment by this time next month.

    I FINALLY got a fridge!!

    I want a fridge so badly, but it's hard to justify to the wife after I convinced here I needed the Yeti(s)!

    Should I replace poor-reviewed tires?

    Run them! Once the tread is gone, then, decide if you want another set or something else. Take the money you'd spent on tires, if you were to replace them, and buy something else for your rig. Congrats on the Xterra! I have a 2015 Xterra Pro-4x. Is yours a standard or an automatic? If it is an...

    US West Overland bound custom decal

    I'm interested in one with a second generation Xterra and my membership number ... Please let me know if that's doable and the cost. Thanks

    MOORE 2020 in Springfield, Mo

    MOORE is this weekend in Springfield, Mo. I'm headed up Friday evening and will attend the expo on Saturday and do the trail ride on Sunday morning. If anyone would like to meet up at some point, send me a message through OB ... it would be a nice opportunity to meet some Midwest OBers.

    Xterra RTT question

    I miss my 2005 six-speed manual because of exactly that ... I got, at least, 18 mpg, no matter how I drove it! I now have a 2015 Xterra automatic (bought an auto so the wife could drive it) and I get between 16-18, depending on how I drive. Once I lift it and add aftermarket bumpers, I'll be...
