So this has been my project the last two months. I traded it for an old beat up 24v diesel I had. The vehicle was set up with better tires, and a winch. I have done tons of maintenance to it and have fully redone the suspension. The goal for this vehicle is to be our "Camper" and serve as a BOV. Heres my 2002 Nissan Xterra 4x4.

Heres a list of my mods:
Redid the roof rack
New springs and shocks
New Bearings
10k Winch
3" lift
VHF and CB radios
ARB awning
Last week we did a camping trip in the Huron national forest, and explored the west side of Michigan. We offroaded for 60 miles some of which was pretty rough. We camped in a tent, carried all our food and water, and cooked over the fire. We backpacked from the truck as well.
Future plans will be a heavy duty bumper with with tire and jerry can carriers so I have more room on the roof. When the engine goes I want to make it non electric with a small diesel to make it EMP proof.
