We just got back from Barstow with our (new to us 05 Xterra off road) She is real sweet, better than new thanks to Jay and some great mods. Did the drive from Cali to Calgary in 2 days with a 2 day stop in Vegas of course. No incidents on the drive though we were really sweating a deer or some other mishap. I highly reccomend importing from the US if you find the right vehicle and seller it's a snap.
