    A few muleys

    Went out last Saturday in search of big bucks. Found a few (among over 1,000 deer found between 10am and 6pm). Also saw about 200 pronghorn (half on the drive up that morning), 12-15 eagles and a mid-size bull moose (unfortunately poor lighting to get a good moose shot.) This year the larger...

    Jeep Jeep Wrangler based truck (JT Gladiator)

    It's "truckness" will probably not be all that much different from the other smaller trucks on the market- Tacoma, Frontier etc. Not at all what I would use for towing my horse trailer or boat, but for an off-road/expedition/hunting rig would be fantastic.

    I want to drive/ride to Hyder, AK next year...

    I want to go back to the Dalton two more times. One to fish my way from Fairbanks to Deadhorse and the other a winter trip.

    Anybody experienced with Sprinters?

    Help me decide I want a mid-size SUV

    I my own SUV search, I have become excited about Xterras. For the price seem like one of the best choices. Your budget is significantly higher than what I want to spend, but I think you could get you a great Xterra and have cash left over.

    day dreaming

    hmmm, new? Can't say the newer truck would be that much better then my 2008. A well built JK would be under budget, unless could include a off-road camp trailer into the package. Used? Mercedes G-Class, with a few mods. Wheel and hunt in style!

    Old Time Snow Travel

    Pretty cool old-school technology. I'd take one! https://www.facebook.com/AgricultureTechnologies/videos/1014192275273139/?theater

    Miller Motorsports Park craziness

    That is how I see it, which is not going to create a great working environment with the county if they end up with it. Wish the judge would have stayed out of it.

    Concussion Therapy

    Great story- both aspects of his recovery. It is wonderful that they are making some progress on treating brain trauma.

    Frontier lift options

    Older than ideal, but may consider one for the right truck.

    Frontier lift options

    Would for sure go only with Adventure package. Alpha is way out of my budget. Thanks for the comments on 07 vs older.

    Frontier lift options

    Frontier is now off the list. Tried the back seat and love my kids too much to make them sit back there! Xterra and H3 appear to be the finalists....

    Frontier lift options

    About what MPG are you getting with the 285s?

    Frontier lift options

    I agree on the OME. Used one on my Montero Sport. Thanks for the good input. Need to get out a do some test driving now...

    Frontier lift options

    Thanks for that link. I had looked up OME and they are that 2-2.5" range, which may just have to do if I go that route.

    Frontier lift options

    ok, focused now on either a Nissan Frontier Crew Cab Nismo or H3. Nismo edition has rear e-locker and front limited slip (think newer may be lockers on both). Big issue that I see is same as any truck- clearance and break-over angle with the longer wheel base. Most of what I finding for...

    Nissan Xterra and Frontier

    In my previous thread, and the other ongoing thread on selecting a rig, one make that has not come up much is Nissan. Based on recent experiences of a friend with an Xterra and my brother with a couple of Pathfinders, I am leary, but they are much less than Toyotas and the Frontier NISMO...

    New to 4x4

    My thoughts are muddled: Looking on KSL today, have a few main thoughts (anyone else wants to chime in on these feel free!) 1) 4Runner 04-05s, running $12-14k for V8 (V6 requires premium I noticed) with typically 110-135K miles. Biggest negative I see is need to turn around and spend $2,000...
