Does the altitude model get a different bumper cover than other trim levels?

Maxtrax, a shovel and possibly a quality come along and you will be fine. One thing to remember about being 2WD, is many times you aren't as stuck as a 4WD will get. I rand a 2WD Ford Ranger for years and most times all I needed was a simple tug or a little digging to get going again as I was...

The Spod SE looks to have bluetooth capabilities...

Pics would help. I'm having troubles wrapping my brain around what you have.

I've come down plenty hard a few times on my Aluminum skid plates and they have held up just fine. If I had to do it again, I would go with aluminum again. If I lived out west steel may be a better idea. And as far as sliding, or not sliding, well, I've got plenty of scratches on mine, so i'm...

While LED lights and battery technology has changed things, I'd agree with others, keep it, but more for around the house and less for on the trail.

I remember feeling like quite the newb when I got my #2292.... lol...

This. Having full skids and sliders means I don't worry about every ledge, bump and thump as I make my way down the trail. The first few times out on the trail I had no protection and I had no fun. Every thump I was convinced was damaging something.

Then you have the older style. The Engo I got a couple of months ago has the Albright contactor style and the solenoid housing is actualy moisture resistant rated.

Yep. And it was only about a year old at that point. I had a new OEM rear end put in the truck. Most of the OEM "vents" are simply a one way valve. Here is a pic of the inside...

How long ago was this? Was it a winch with the old style solenoids or the newer ones with the albright contactors?

I extended my rear diff breather up in to behind the tail light. I used a barbed fitting for an NV model Nissan and some random rubber hose and zip ties. It's hard to see, but I simply ran the house up along the frame and up in to the area behind the tail light.

Google maps offline can be a useful backup tool. I use it all the time on road trips.

Awesome thread. My only comment is on the location of the fire extinguisher. I have mine mounted under the front of the driver's seat. They sell a universal bracket kit, but I simply used some 1/8" bar sock and some existing screw holes in the seat frame.

I've found I end up going faster than I realize on some gravel roads in my truck. I have no sway bars and it's springs and shocks are nice and compliant. A soft surface might mean you don't feel like you are going very fast.

Pretty much this. Paying attention to what direction you went in to the woods and Knowing what direction the roads in the area go can be a big help. If you know you went in the woods headed south off a road that goes east and west for 50 miles in each direction, if you get "lost", just go north...

Sounds just like how my Old 2WD Ford ranger with a LSD would be at speed when it was snowing. Anything over about 40 MPH and the back end always felt "light" and wanted to walk out. Does your truck have a LSD? Were you in 2wd?

Frontier Pro-4X's have them as well.

I've had my Duralast platinum in my Frontier for three years now. Not a single complaint.

Pretty much this. I've found almost every local is going to be good with a folding blade 2.5" max with no gravity or automatic opening feature. I keep all larger sharp items out of my reach in the driver's seat.
