Canadian Nissan Truck Club

hmm. I think i get it though. why go toe to toe with tacos and hiluxes? I think the demographics for this truck exists, itll be a different niche in n.America. there are a lot of these navara s in s.america and they've done well. its a work truck that'll get the job done and for less, pretty much ni...

you sir can be the first dude with a patrol here. make that happen! what's nice is shipping is closer/cheaper than jdm AND you have LHD!

May have to import a Patrol.... Those sure take a beating

grab 2!

very cool kdj. thanks for sharing. this is fun for the kids. once witnessed a snapper lay eggs and hoped to see the wee ones come out. you rarely see the babies in the wild.

I've heard of some guys that drill holes at certain key points (that wont affect structure) in the frame to allow it to drain properly. but this was with older trucks and not sure if it can apply to newer frames. I like the oil spray and just keep it cleaned and hosed down after runs method, simple,...

GM is trying to kill the diesel pickup market... so they asked their oil company buddies to jack the prices up. makes sense. throw Ford in there as well. if the Japanese guys have to go to bed with cummins to bring diesels in, guess we'll have to settle for that. stupid all around as they already h...

ooh. nice! Gluck n take pics!

well put Jas. i'd rephrase to say "…just because it's other people's perception based on their own outside marker of comfort.." lol. empowering indeed. and at the end of day, i'm just trying to teach the boy some things that'll hopefully help him with life down the road, like having grit a...

definitely! a good compromise when convincing the wife who thinks i'm crazy and combining that with needing "me" time when it's hard to go out with the boys and leaving the wife behind with 3 kids. so, win win for us. just gotta convince the wife again to see if i can pull a similar trip o...

awesome trip report and thanks for sharing some tips! love reading about this stuff! gear selection, trial and error, lemon situations, bushcraft are all what it's all about! that's gotta be one of the nicest quinzhee's I've seen! i like that channel to keep the draft out. with regards to inside tem...

well, well, well now....looky here. very interesting.

just picked up a decent pair of tubbs 30" snowshoes on sale at atmosphere (which I'm told are better quality than the mckinleys). $115. the atlas and msr's are around double. atmosphere in square on has little bears treks 30 on sale for 59 from 119 if anyone's interested. decent reviews. (I may...

funny enough, I just got this from my dad. can't really complain... anything is possible.

awesome info Jas! thanks dude! agreed on the gear hunting, but a fun process! with the 5 year old, I definitely don't expect him to hike the trip so I'm preparing to pull his arse around, but on short trips. it might be a bit of a stretch with gear plus him..so we'll see.. I have a pair of -9 marmot...

kdj, thanks dude! just what I was lookin for. definitely goin for alum shoes but there's a tonne to choose from, maybe i'll go middle ground pricewise. (I'm not as familiar with PK regarding these) but I have gaiters and poles for walking. could use newer hiking clothing and a decent 4 season tent. ...

Hey Jas, would you ever consider taking your oldest on one of these trips? or at least an overnighter, or have you done it already? I've heard the same thing about the sled when it comes to tight spots, pros and cons I guess. (I picked up a decent one at atmosphere and I can easily pull the 3 and 5 ...

great write up Jas! guess next time everyone's gotta get snowshoes! have u guys ever considered pulling a sled?

cool. almost forgot that this market is big on auto trannys. great that this is actually going to happen for nissan in 2015.

it's all part of the game. get everyone itching and over hyped so they sell out in the first year of production, lol.

purdy looking engine! might guess 11-12l/100km with no load on a good day . . . ? btw, did i miss what tranny options it'll have? standard too?

nice write up Jas! i know that took time! hopefully some guys take notes for next season.

happy holidays!
