On today’s podcast, I bring you an interview with David Boyd, who is the founder of the Nissan Xterra Nation Forum. We chat about the event held at Winrock offroading park as well as all things Nissan offroading related. I actually got the chance to meet David in person at his home and we shared some dutch oven chili. I think we all prefer hanging out in person and swapping stories more than sitting around a digital campfire.
For news, I give you some more information about the recent birth of my son, CarterJames (aka CJ) and how this is impacting my family adventure plans. The biggest impact is on the ability to fit all the people and the gear. I’m sharing my thought experiment with you in a series of blog posts. You can easily get to all the articles (here) and see what decisions I’m going to end up making.
And speaking of offroading and kids, friend of the show, Skot Green has written some great offroading 101 articles over at Jeep With Kids. His most recent one (as of this writing) covers some essential vehicle recovery kit items. He took my recommendation when mentioning straps/ropes. In the audio of this show, I talk a bit more about the difference between a tow strap and a kinetic recovery rope.
I also share some discussion that’s been taking place on Facebook.
David MacGregor, needs your help!
“Hi guys, a bit a strange question for the Jeep / Hummer guys.. My other
half has an early Discovery and hates the lack of a decent clock in it.. Having
driven an H2 with the temp and clock in the rear view I was wondering if any
jeeps have the same system… and is the it just a 12v supply to the rear view
or is it ecu controlled… i.e.. could I just source a relevant rear view and
retro fit to the Disco…”
Last but not least, Rick Pewe from Peterson’s Four Wheel and Offroad Magazine shares his thoughts on the new Jeep Renegade.
