Canadian Nissan Truck Club

Yup totally agree on the eco-diesel. Why buy half a truck when you can buy a full-size full featured truck with better economy? I still have to wait and see what happens over the next 3 years to see if it really does what they say. From what I'm hearing from owners...I interrogate people at gas-bar...

I realize I'm a bit late with this... This couple sold all of their stuff and took off across Canada, up to Alaska and then wandered down to Central and South America. They took their time in parts of Canada, so the early part of the trip report linked below might be of some interest. http://www.exp...

What about an imported diesel Patrol or Safari (Y60 or Y61)? Fun, different, capable, good amount of space, towing capacity...

The old school Land Rover guys use POR-15 on their frames and bulkheads. It's a two-part brush or spray on metal treatment and sealant. Lots of other products similar to it, as well - Rust Bullet, Masterseries, and others. The hootus thread... http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?threa...

With a head wind...

Cool. I like the idea but would like them in all the same font. I'm going to ask him about that...

Thanks for the info!

You are talking about the Tyvek-like topo maps? Yes, very handy for outdoor trips, since they always seem to get wet. You can get any topo area you want in those maps. I have the French River area and Algonquin Park maps, along with a few others. I haven't seen road maps printed on that material, ho...

Diff guards - the finished product. Painted so I can recognize which rocks are mine...

Replaced a bad front wheel bearing / ABS sensor on my Jeep.
Bought some Poison Spyder diff guards. I;m painting them up and will install them and change fluids later this week or next.

I tried to chase down the owner of this X, but she turned near Cherryhill Mall on Oxford last week. I didn't hear any squeeling or cursing from the driver so maybe that only happens when she's offroading?? http://i388.photobucket.com/albums/oo330/deekerG4/Off-road%20Pictures/2013-05-17142639_zpsaea9...

In London, saw an orange X with black rims with the tires sticking out past the fenders ever so slightly. Had what looked to be a couple of small zombie stickers in the back window. I was driving west on Horton towards Springbank... I like orange. And the black rims looked good. That is all. Probab...

That is all.

They forgot to mention that it makes for a more comfortable, less jarring ride. Our rocky, bumpy trails are much smoother with a lower air pressure.

Muddy R50, take note...

I think the original poster is almost asking what mods to do first / make the biggest improvements off-road for the money spent. If that's what I think the question is, my suggestion would first be tires, skids and sliders, a recovery strap and a lift. After that, as your experience builds, you can ...

The London group is like the dysfunctional red-headed stepchild of CdnNTC. Nothing wrong with another member - even if he does drive a Fronty. Welcome aboard. Hope to see you on the trails!

I understand bi-weekly as every other week, until the end of February.

Not too awesome, just personal preference. I like the look and (quieter, smoother) on-road performance of these tires.

It's the look, not the performance of the tires. I'm a bit redneck, but those tires are pushing it even for me.

I've seen one UniMog on the trails in the Lanark Highlands. Too many trees and tight turns for that thing to do well. Open trails, it's fun to watch. On the tight trails of that area it was a lesson in 3-pt turns and smacking branches off the windshield and a-pillars. Would I want one - heck yeah! C...
