Hmmm,, I don't own an Xterra, but I've heard nothing but good about them from guys in my area that do run them. 165k miles is barely broken in for a Nissan or a Toyota. Then again, if you're just tired of it and want something different, then thats another story. If it were a heap, then you'd...

While videoing one of our trail runs, my wife, just of her cuff, proclaimed it, Diehlmobile. It fits, as it is our last name.

Hmmm, 15 is heavy, but doable. Mine is around 850 loaded up for the back country.

If they are in good shape at all, you're gonna pay between 10 and 14k. I payed 11 for mine 3 years ago and have been offered 14 for it as it sits. Right now, the power steering pump leaks, the LSVP leaks, my front and rear mains leak, and my tc cover gasket leaks. These leaks are all very...

I've had extremely good fortune with BFG KOs and KMs since the late 1980s. I'm currently running a set of old school KOs with about 20k miles on them, and once again, they are wearing like iron. I'll easily get 45 or 50k miles out of this set, before I sell them, just as I have out of all my...

I've had two Coleman dual fuel stoves my entire life. The first one lasted over 30 years and I bought it used at a garage sale. 4 years ago we bought a new dual fuel and we burn gasoline ( non-ethanol ) in it. The Coleman fits perfectly in our kitchen. If we want to grill, or slow cook in our...

As I'm a trailer guy, I'm diggin it. I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you on the trail at all, nor would I have to worry about your capabilities !! Very nice build-up. Just curious, how much does it weigh when loaded with all your gear, gas and H20?

OK, I'll play, here are a couple of before photos. The rig was originally "Mall Krawler Champagne" and over the past 20 years has bleached out to this very odd silver color. Take notice and you'll see that the rear view mirrors did not bleach out. We are going for something that blends in a...

A friend is doing the job for me, 464 Traditional Beige. There are three little dents to repair and upper tail gate repair. I think that 2k is a very fair price. Thanks everyone, I just purchased the 3m adhesive..

We go to the Out Banks of North Carolina in the spring. There is a small island that is only accessible by about a two hour ferry ride from main land that we camp on. Cool, We want to get down to Cape Lookout N Seashore in the near future. Just when is the best time of year to go in order to...

OK guys, Our rig is getting a new paint job this Friday.. Today I begin stripping all the "bolt on" stuff off. Sliders, roof rack, winch, front bumper and --- OB badge #0745. Is there an easy way to get it off and then back on, or must I get another one. If so, how hard is it to get another...

I cannot think of a single best piece of camping gear, but over the last 25 years or so I can narrow it down a bit. #1- Dual fuel Coleman Stove. We just bought a new one two years ago, to replace the one I found at a garage sale back in the mid 70s. We should easily get 20 years or so out of...

255,000 and counting. I average 17,000 miles a year of which 7 or 8 is used up for our annual trips west. It has a couple of the normal oil leaks, Next week I'm taking it in to Toyota for a full diagnostic. They are charging me only $150 for pressure check, oil leak confirmations and compression...

This publication really isn't much different than publications from the far left, such as "The Progressive" magazine. Each has a socio/politico agenda and each publication practices confirmation bias. I do my best to stay away from confirmation bias publications. Did this really happen? Well...

My understanding of it: A bears nose is like 2,000 times more sensitive than ours so there is less of one potent ingredient and a bit more of another. Bear spray's range is twice as far as standard pepper spray, ( in perfect conditions up to 40 feet.) and will lay out in a fog like pattern...

Question, as I have debated the necessity of one for decades now. Having a snorkel will give your vehicle a true cold air intake, so, for those of you that have installed them, did it change the performance of your engines? We go to the 4 corners region nearly every year and had work done at...

Ok. I looked that one up a long time ago, and for your benefit, ( and my own) just now. , Scoville count is higher in human pepper spray, but the CRC rate for bear spray is 2% versus 1.3%, so it depends on which active ingredient you are talking about, and bear spray covers a longer distance...

You are correct. Pepper spray will just make the bear angry, but, pepper spray is not Bear spray. There is a huge difference. Everything that is out there, concerning bear attacks gives the guy with a gun an 80% chance of survival. With bear spray, 100% survival rate. I hope that if you ever...

As sad as it might seem, I'm old school, very old school. We carry an extra ten gallons with two jerry cans mounted on each side of the trailer. I have them mounted with one of these gizmos and they can be pad locked is one chooses to do so. I can't see myself lifting those things on and off of...

I've done quite a bit of research about how to best protect myself from a bear attack. The jury is in, and raw statistics don't lie. They cannot, they are only statistics. The bears sense of smell is 2,100 times better than a human, so we have decided to stop em where it hurts then the most...
