Saturdays ride was amazing thanks to Freak4life (Rich) for being a great trail partner, he made the trip a lot more fun and just safer knowing he was right there with me if anything went wrong. His 4Runner is an amazing rig. We made great time but was not in a hurry just enjoying being out.. The rock wall looks so much bigger and more vertical in person, only damage was a scrape crossmember and dented my fuel tank skid they did there job.



Cant wait for another AZ OB Trip Who wants to do El Camino Del Diablo while its cool ???

Thanks for the kind words Brad. I had a great time and I completely agree, the wall looks huge in person. :)
Let me know when you are making the next run, sounds like fun to me.

Whats up AZ people? I'm out in Gilbert. Trying to get out camping a lot more this coming year so I thought I'd sign up for the board.

My rig is a 2013 Nissan xterra that pulls my (mostly) homebrew off road trailer. The trailer is very much a work in progress but its coming along, it currently has a tent mounted on the top and the basket is back on the X. Next up is to weld on new fenders and start on electrical.

Four Peaks and the Rolls are open, but the road up to Four Peaks and over the mountain is still closed.

Have fun and enjoy the trip!

Thanks! Its all coming along. It doesn't look like it but the xterra is running OME suspension all around with about 2" of lift and 285/75r16 Geolandar AT's. Shrockworks rear bumper (wish i got the one with the tire carrier) and sliders.

Hello Michael, I am starting my research and I am in the planning stage of building an overland trailer. Would you maybe share some more detailed pictures and your thoughts on your trailer build. The suspension, I see the solar panel, how you put yours together and with what. Thanks Rich
