Hey All....
This is a return of sorts. I had an original 2011 X (I traded in a Jeep Rubicon in on it, thats a story for another time). I didn't get out with this group, however I did do tons of solo camping expeditions. She served me well and never let me down. She was traded in a few years ago on a big truck, which I thought would do the same thing... I was sadly mistaken however. It could do all the off road things, But lacked the charm of the Xterra, Which I named "TerraCon" as a joke cause I used to take off road trips with guys from work who all drove Rubicons.
Anyway..... A few months back, the boss asked me if I was happy with the truck and had to be honest and admit to her that getting rid of my TerraCon was a mistake. She took pity on me and told me to go buy another. So last month I found my new baby! A 2014 Silver Pro 4-X, with 25,000 miles and no real damage to speak of. Body is strait as an arrow, engine runs great and everything seems to work! Why a Pro 4-X? I don't want to do all the lift thing and make a bunch of changes... Just want to drive it!
Of course I will do a couple of things, CB (had one in the Terracon, mounted in the armrest with a 4 ft firestick on the driverside with a Fourtreks clamp.... SWR was super low and the antenna was super high. Will do it this way again, maybe mount in a different location. RinoRack 2.0 on the passenger side with a wind break and extension. Compressor in the storage box and a roof rack... Just have not picked the one yet.
Sorry, didn't intend this to be so long winded. I am a Vet (actually retired... Gunslinger2N was my call sign during my last deployment. My given name is Jeff) and the good news is with my current job I have every other friday off so looking forward to some trips!
