    FS: Retractable 5' Bed Cover and Tent Rack for 2015+ Chevy Colorado (Denver Area)

    I'm selling a Pace Edwards Ultra-Grove metal tonneau cover for a 2015+ Chevy Colorado with a 5' bed (model KMCA03A25), as well as a 10" high KB Voodoo/Max Modular tent rack. I'm in the Denver area. Local pick up only, as it's all too big to ship easily. Would like to see $1100 for the cover...

    Advice Needed:: Tacoma owner considering a ZR2

    I just sold my 2005 Xterra (original owner) and picked up a 2018 ZR2 with the V6 gas engine. The Xterra had its share of minor issues over the years but I would definitely describe it as reliable. I have my fingers crossed that the Chevy will be as reliable. Coming from a thirteen year old...

    Yakima SkyRise RTT

    It's not meant to be mounted without using the quick mounts, but I think it would be possible to rig something up. The easiest way to dispense with the quick mounts might be to attach a pair of extruded aluminum rails purchased from Tepui or CVT, and then mount it using the same bolts they use...

    Yakima rooftop tent

    bobholthaus-- the Yakima clamps are tall enough that they reach down to the cross bars on the pioneer platform. It also helps that I'm willing to drill holes in the floor of my brand new tent to make the clamps line up correctly. May or may not work on your bike mounts.

    Yakima rooftop tent

    Here's the Yakima RTT mounted to the Rhino Rack on my Lexus using the Yakima quick release system. I think it's relatively low profile for a fold-over tent, even with the extra 2" from the quick release system.

    Yakima SkyRise RTT

    I just picked up a Yakima roof top tent and had the chance to mount it on a couple of vehicles today and play around with it a bit. Here are my immediate observations, although keep in mind that the only other roof top tents I've had a chance to see/use in person are an old Autohome hard shell...

    Yakima rooftop tent

    Just for fun, here's the Yakima RTT up on top of the Xterra. Using the Yakima mounts and Thule crossbars, it sits too high, but it was very easy to mount. In fact, it took just a few minutes, and didn't require any tools. I may try flipping the Thule cross bars to run under the Xterra roof...

    Yakima rooftop tent

    I picked one up yesterday and put it together tonight. Coming from the world of backpacking tents, the Yakima strikes me as sturdy and well made. The fabric is clearly not as heavy duty as the canvas on traditional overland tents, but I suspect it will breath better. What I like about it is how...

    BlackX - 2007 Xterra Off Road

    The line on your fender cuts looks really good, especially the little uptick right behind the bumper. It's a nice looking truck!

    2011 Xterra Battery Upgrade

    Odyssey makes a reverse terminal D34, the PC1500RT: http://www.odysseybatteries.com/battery/pc1500series.htm I believe this is the largest drop in battery available for our Xterras.

    Wife's Volvo XC70

    Problem: I drive an '05 Xterra that's an excellent off road vehicle-- but the last few times I've been in Moab, my wife and I have been in her XC70. No fun at all, right? Solution: Take the Volvo out on some trails anyway! (Mild trails, to be sure, but still lots of fun...)

    Replacement Roof Rack for 07 Xterra

    The factory roof rack came loose?!? That's disappointing.

    Roof Tent on an 07 Xterra?

    Ah, you may be the first to put a roof tent on an 05+ Xterra. Excellent! Sounds like a great trip you've got planned. How about some pictures with the tent closed up? --Edit: whoops, mountainpete beat me to it.

    Replacement Roof Rack for 07 Xterra

    Ditto on the Gobi rack. I also don't know the time frame of when they're going to release it, but the 1st gen. Xterra rack looks very nice, and is both wider and longer than the factory rack.

    Roof Tent on an 07 Xterra?

    The one question I have concerns the narrowness of the Xterra roof rack-- it's just 39 inches wide, so almost all the roof tents out there are going to hang over the edge. Is this a problem? I have no idea... The roof of the Xterra is a little wider, about 43 inches wide, but I still wonder how...

    Roof Tent on an 07 Xterra?

    I can't imagine you'd have any problem as long as it was a tent that was under the 150 lbs. Plenty of people have rocket box-type things up there, and plenty of others carry gas cans. The stock crossbars are held on by plastic brackets, however, and I've heard they're the weak point, so I'd...

    New Frontier/New Member

    Howdy! Good to see more Nissan-owners here. The San Rafael Swell is an amazing place to explore. I've been going over to Utah for the last five years and have been gradually learning more about expedition travel in the back country. Your Frontier is going to be a great TAV!

    Liberty KJ thread

    Here's my mother's Liberty, with her driving Little Medano Pass in Colorado. She uses her Liberty as a backcountry access vehicle to visit to rock art sites and remote trailheads, and it performs beautifully. We put on aftermarket skid plates because it bottoms out fairly easily, but otherwise...

    Old Man Emu: Late model Frontier and Pathfinder

    Hmm. I wonder if it'll be compatible with the Xterra-- a mild lift with less suspension sag in the rear under load is exactly what I'm looking for.
