Haven't posted anything at all in a good while, but thought I'd have go because I got a new truck and am in the process of outfitting it bit for some adventuring. Short story made long: Back in `14, I went from a built `02 supercharged Xterra to a full-size truck (2014 Tundra CC). The family...

*** SOLD*** Truck left on a road trip to it's new home. Safe journey old friend and new owner, may you have many great adventures!

2002 Xterra, 4x4: So me ABS light comes on... Then goes off after a couple of drive-cycles... then comes back on and stays on. I pulled the code with my OTC scan tool and it's telling me "C1111 - ABS Motor". I've gone through the ABS diagnostic tree in the Nissan service manual for the...

I'm curious what sort of tongue weights you all are getting with a fully loaded trailer. I'm at about 250lbs right now, which seems about right based on common trailering practices and my uber accurate 1 to 5 leverage platform/bathroom scale calculated fully loaded trailer axle weight of...

We bought a Dometic CF-80AC fridge freezer a couple months back so I thought I'd post a mini-review now that we've had "in the field" a bit. We chose the CF-80 based on it's large capacity, Dometic/Waeco's excellent reputation and reasonable price (comparatively). Prior to purchase I called...

Had a minor incident involving one of the door screens on our Compact getting snagged on something while deploying the tent, resulting in a roughly 2"x3" hole in the screening. Closest thing I can find to the screening is actually billed as knitted shade cloth...

I've been thinking brakes would be a good idea since getting the Compact. Having a loaded trailer pushing my tow rig down some steep, winding, gravel/mud/snow cover trail isn't my idea of a good time. Same with hauling the whole rig down from highway speeds in any kind of hurry. So...

Doing a timing belt job on my `02 SE/SC and changing all the hoses and water pump while I'm at it. Got it all torn down, wasn't planning on disturbing the cam/crank oil seals due to the low mileage (32K). Yes, that's thirty-two thousand and hadn't planned on disturbing the cam pulleys or rear...

Parts gone!

I got a very nice heavy duty 12x16 urethane coated canvas tarp with my Compact rather than the lighter weight fly. This will be great for weather but is a but of chore for shade/light duty. I've been looking at a couple of lightweight sil-nylon tarps as an alternate to the heavy tarp for...

Here are a couple of pics from the shakedown cruise. No trouble other than the coupler bolts needing some loctite. Just a couple of pics for now, I though I had more set up, I'll post 'em I can find 'em.

Greetings from Northern California Greetings from Northern Cal. Found this board while doing my homework on expedition trailers and thought I'd join up and get in on the fun. Recent life and career changes have sparked family interest in expedition-style outings and provided the means to make...
