Title: Just Popping In...
Post by: RikRong on May 05, 2015, 12:26:20 PM
Hello all, I just thought I would say hi and give a short introduction of myself and my truck.  Currently I'm living in North Dakota, but I will be moving to the High Desert of Southern California in July.  I have a 2015 Xterra, which I traded my Frontier in for.  I owned the Frontier for 4 years prior and before that, I owned a S14 Silvia for 4 years, and a 180sx for 2 years (I was stationed overseas at the time).  So, I'm also a pretty die-hard Nissan fan. ;)  Well, I hope to make some connections through here, and get in on some trail runs.  I lived in Rosamond for three years when I was in high school, so I know the area pretty well.  However, I am looking forward to moving back and seeing how things have changed.  Thanks for the welcome.

The S14 as I left her in Okinawa:

The Frontier right before I got rid of it:

The truck so far:
Level 8 MK-6 wheels with OEM Hankook rubber, Nisstec coilovers, SPC UCAs, OME Dakar MD leaf springs, PRG U-bolt flip, Bilstein 5100 shocks in rear, AEM DryFlow drop in, Rugged Ridge Jeep Wrangler seat covers, UltraGauge
Soon to come:
IMS, Bully Dog tune, XterraPerformance interior MOLLE panels,
In the future:
Aftermarket front and rear bumpers, DepHep roof rack

Welcome,

There's a good bunch of people here. I'm in Pinon Hills, we've had a nice little wave of newbies from the High Desert lately.

Welcome to the forum! Great looking rig. Looking forward to meeting you out here soon and seeing you on the trails. I'll second what GreenGoon said - there's been a surge of new members popping up around the high desert area, so you're in good company up there and shouldn't having a hard time finding any trail companions. :)

Oh, yes it will be getting dirty. ;)  I'm making a trip up to the OHV area in Gilbert, MN next weekend.  I'm definitely looking forward to meeting some of you all when I get out to California.
