As planned, Feb. 2nd a few of us headed out for a day of wheeling. The hope was for about 5 Xterras, an FJ, and a 4-runner. The turn out wasn't great. Maybe because of the snowfall overnight.
Besides myself there was HAZMAT888 (thenewX) in his 2006 Silver Xterra and RoughRoad (XOC) in his Solar Yellow 2004 Xterra all shrocked out.
We met at the Sasquatch Inn in Harrison Mills.
Here is a couple of mandatory pics before we head out.

Below is a map showing where we traveled. We were planning on heading up the Harrison Forestry Service Road, but there is tons of snow, but we made a day of it on a couple of trails.

HAZMAT888 coming around the first hill. About 6 - 10" of snow here.

We ended up joining a couple of Jeeps. They were supposed to be with a group of 18, I guess our turn out wasn't so bad. Grant (green 2001 TJ) and Chad (white TJ) were good guys that new the area pretty good.

We came across this first big hill. The road was not plowed past here and the snow was at least 2 feet deep. Couple of shots of my truck trying to make it up.

The snow was pretty deep. Up to my knees. I made about 3/4 way up. Not quite as far as the green TJ. That thing just flies!!

I hate to say it, but this little green TJ tugged me out, tugged RoughRoad out, and tugged the white TJ out.

We messed this hill up pretty good. The white TJ is close to a large drop on the right and had to winch to a tree to get straight. Under the snow was ice and frozen ground.

After playing around there we decided to head with the jeeps to Chehalis Lake rd. It was supposed to be closed due to a washout, but we thought we would give it a try.

I took the lead into Chehalis. The snow here was so different. Very dry, light and fluffy with good traction.

The road was gated at the Chehalis River. Due to a washout this fall. This was the end of the trail.

I dont understand, why are people so paranoid about whiting out their license plates on this forum, it's not like you can google a license plate and find the owners social security number...:wacko:

I don't know why someone would make their first post in a club, a remark about what someone edits or doesn't edit with their own pictures.

I think in this day and age of identity theft, people are just paranoid about letting any personal information out about themselves. I do the same thing myself even though I dont have any idea how you could link a license plate number to any useful personal information.

Well... leme say a word about your L.C.P... I'ts directly related to 2 things... Your drivers LIC and YOUR U.S. SSN... I can purchase a fake P.I. request and pay some ass from russia to forward my request to pursia.. then it goes to china for a new identy P.S.A Request... hmmmm...

NOW I GOT YOUR MOFO home address and anything else I need to track your life....... SIMPLE!! Next I got your home tely... and your cell #... we live in an age of CORRRRRUPTION... and being in the Navy and working with this kind of shit....NA.... I'LL BLOT MY MOFO PLATE OUT ANY DAY.... :machinegunner: AXION INC.

I cover them up typically, mainly because I am always posting about everything that is on my rig, so if my LP # is showing they can trace that back to my address and some steal off all of my crap.. its is going to happen, most likely now, is covering up the lp worth it?? for a couple seconds of my time, it is to me...

Just wondering, because thats the first thing I noticed. I have not seen any other 4x4 web site do that.

It's cool bro... Like dezurtrat said, most people are just taking necessary precautions and after a buddy of mine got his account hacked for several grand I don't take any unnecessary chances myself.

I hated that myself or any of the other members came off harsh in our replies but we try to keep a peaceful brotherhood of members here void of hazing, flaming and unnecessary or rude criticism. We work really hard and have a great group of members that respect each other and I know you probably meant no disrespect with what you said.

Go ahead and make an introduction in the new members section and welcome to the club!

Hey Dude! Welcome to Club X!!!! You will find all kinds of really friendly people here willing to help you with anything.

There is a new members introduction Section, and it would be good to meet you there.

P.S.-There are TONS of sites that do that, but it is not the moderators who edit the license plates, it is the original posters. And no, you cannot pull a SSN from a License Plate, but you can get the Vin, which can get you keys. That's why!

lol, i dont even have an xterra, at least yet, i cant decide what i want to get for my next car, which is why i stopped by here to see how expensive and how hard it would be to modify it

Cliche` as it is to say but it depends on just how far you want to take your mods really.

Not a really strong aftermarket parts selection available but that opens the door to some very unique custom mods. Your basic skid plate packages, sliders, bumpers like others. Aftermarket gearing, air-lockers and SAS kits. Or for less than $150 you can make your own 1.5" suspension lift and 2" body lift and fit 33's.

And that's just for the 1st. gen xterras. The 2nd. gens have a whole new list of options including locking diffs, hill descent control and 33" tires will fit without a lift. And quite a few other options I don't know about.

Pick your poison! hahaha
