    Reaver's 03 Xterra XE "Gamora" build thread

    I'm very happy with how it's currently sitting. I drove it to fill it up yesterday, expecting the rear to feel a bit stiff, but was pleasantly surprised. We'll see how it feels later today though.

    Liana and Kyra wouldn't be able to go (Kyra will be back in school). Depending on how long you go for, I might be able to go though.

    Reaver's 03 Xterra XE "Gamora" build thread

    Yeah. We're doing it a bit different this year. It's just Dave and I, and we're testing our planned setups for the BDR. We're going to be moving everyday this time. I'm hopping we can avoid some of the weather. Last year was fun, albeit a touch damp. This time around, I have the awning room...

    Reaver's DIY adventure box!

    I use the Ironman 4x4 water tanks. They already have a screw on cap, fortunately. I'm mostly concerned with water leaking out of the breather valves I installed in the caps. Worst case, I have two other caps I can put on.

    Reaver's DIY adventure box!

    So, I'll be heading out soon to test several things in the trailer, in preparation for our bdr trip at the end of July. Testing the real world usage of the dual water tanks, as well as the breather valves in the caps. Testing the rear stabilizer jacks on the trailer. Testing the new table...

    Reaver's 03 Xterra XE "Gamora" build thread

    I finally got around to addressing some issues with my leaf springs. A few months ago, my buddy and I decided to adjust my shackles to the max setting. While this leveled the vehicle out, it introduced other issues that I wasn't comfortable running long term. To address this, last weekend, I...

    storage boxes

    I use an assortment of plano and mtm boxes. I have 6 68qt plano boxes and 3 56qt boxes. I went with the planos because I can fit 6 of them in my trailer, and still have room for all of the chairs, tables, and other various items I need to fit. Everyone I've talked to that has either the...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Spent all day fighting with the passenger side leaf spring in the Xterra. We finally got it all out back together at around 7:30pm. Then tried to tackle the driver side.... We were unsuccessful, and threw in the towel for the day at about 11pm. I went back out the morning, and managed to get...

    Toilets?

    I travel with two girls. My wife, and 6yo daughter. We use a reliance fold and go toilet. It works quite well, and don't really have any complaints. I also have a smaller flat pack toilet that lives in my vehicle, while the reliance lives in the trailer. The Ozark trail (Walmart brand) is...

    Reaver's DIY adventure box!

    Well, I managed to get the breather ports for the water tank caps sorted out. I feel like these will work very well for my needs. I've also been working on the modular water tank setup. I got it all plumbed up last night, just need to add some water to the second tank, so I can test it. If...

    SW Idaho Overlanding

    Planning on making this one. Debating on bringing the X or the truck. Is this a Basecamp trip, or moving everyday?

    West Side Story with SW Idaho Overlanding

    I did! Also, the video was pretty good. Part of me want to head back out there and see if that road leading out of the canyon is passable now...

    US Northwest North Idaho BDR Section 7 June 23-25th 2023

    We'll be running from pine to the Canadian border at the end of July. This will be the longest trip we'll have done. Solo, I would love this..... I'm hoping the wife doesn't hate it. And I'm hoping I don't murder my 6yo...lol.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I more or less did that over the winter. Felt really good, honestly.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Did the passenger side hub on the trailer. I still need to do the driver side.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    I had a 2004. I miss the gas milage of that truck. After dealing with a faulty cylinder head, and replacing the hubs 3 times in 18 months, I decided to cut my losses and switch gears. Though, if I found one with a 5.3,id buy it in a heartbeat.

    I need help finding a low freezer option.

    SetPower aj40 is just over 17" tall. Rv45 is 18.8. I really like the setpower fridges, and they're owned by the same parent company as iceco, so they share ALOT of the same components.

    I do enjoy a good GMT355 build. I think it's the best looking truck Chevy has built. Especially if you get one with the 5.3. Though, the new ones look pretty good.
