damn, i thought i loved wheeling before...
i went wheeling this morning after a night of rain (which is all we socal people can hope for) and damn was it fun. there were some hairy moments where i thought i would tip over when my right side sunk into some mud though. and i've always been somewhat skeptical of what an xterra can do...but after this morning i'm happy to say i'm very impressed. i aproached a steep muddy bank thinking i would end up having to back up and try another way around, but once i put it into 4lo i made it up pretty easily. there's nothing like the feeling of doubt disapearing when you suddenly feel your truck making it over something you didn't think it could do.
now i just have to get some sliders. i bent one of the stock side rails (yes, i know i should take them off) and it's about 1/2 inch from hitting the body panel. i got lucky i guess.
