Actually I'm doing a trip to Zion, Toroweap, and North Rim of Grand Canyon those dates. Will have a HF rig with me if that works.

The front differential on the Xterra is a known weak point. It hasn't failed me yet though. I had a relay fail me on the freeway and cause me to stall. Luckily, I was close to the shoulder and was able to get off the road without getting hit. I ended up taking a window washer relay and putting it in ...

I have had the 2nd gen Xterra 4x4 OR since 2005. Its a love hate relationship. My next vehicle will be a Toyota Tacoma or 4runner. Do yourself a favor and get the FJ. Aftermarket and resale value are much better.

I currently run a Knight's Armament M4 RAS on my work rifle and it has held up pretty well. For the distances I have ...

Nice blasters. You can never be too careful, I guess. I tend to call them negligent discharges myself unless there was a defect or malfunction that caused the gun to discharge. Those that carry firearms daily, myself included, can become complacent and have an ND. Knock on wood that in 6 years in ...
