I was hoping to find alittle more activity here. It looks as if it used to be quite popular. Just bought a new xterra and was looking for others in SoCal that love to explore. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

Maybe it's a slow week. I can't talk, I've been away on business a lot this year so I haven't been helping.

I have weird schedule at LAX and have not been around much either, hoping to get senority and more weekends off. Hopefully I will have a few more mods done including a new sheepskin cover for my drivers seat. This chair was inspired by Mitch and Dan........(http://img.xcitefun.net/users/2009/06/78296,xcitefun-strange-chair2.jpg)

That chair reminds me of the Tecopa Hot Springs!

Tecopa Hot Springs..............hmmmmm - I found the anteaters with sweaters were slightly disturbing. Especially when they showed up at the hotel looking for money .(http://community.klipsch.com/forums/storage/9/1066615/anteaters.jpg)

Sounds like quite an interesting trip lol. We used to have a restaurant in central Oregon where I'm from that had a large collectionn of stuffed animals around the whole room. Felt like we were being watched the whole time haha. Kinda creepy

Epic or not, it's probably best that thread didn't survive the switch to the new site.

Depemds on what you want to do.  You just missed a few guys who went out at the beggining of the month.  Summer usually slows things down a bit.  Too hot for desert Xcursions.  Once it starts to cool down, it'll really pick up.   Keep checking in and keep the negativity to a minimum.

And this place is not just for excursions, we share photos help topics among other things. If you got questions you will see people here are very helpful.

I've got a lot of life going on ... I'm taking care of recent widow helping her move, buy a home, and get settled. I'm working three jobs which is one more than normal ... and just have so much going on.

I did do a recon on the Bradshaw trail running from Powerline road west to Bombay and stopping about halfway for some white knuckle action up in a trail running up into the hills. The recent rain storm had hit that area east of the Salton Sea with some good rain and the trails near the Salton Sea were torn way up.

We do the walk through on the new house next week, close shortly thereafter, and then I get to move her and do all the "Home Depot" weekends putting up curtains, buying appliances/furniture/everything. November is prime desert trip time and I'm bummed. If I can break a weekend free I need to do the Mojave before that darn dry lake isn't again.

Oh oh I got one. Im taking 17 units getting a Biology degree and work 15 hours a week but some new mods are in the works for the X. Just fixed the rear bumper, now I just have to add a high lift mount, CB tab, Gas can and antenna tab to the swing arm. Plus my ultra secret eletrical mods that should be done by New Years... Any one add a power inverter to there X? Im looking at the Cobra CPI 1575.

I've got a Pyle 750/1500 Watt inverter that I mounted. Still working on the GFCI outlet similar to what Oz has.  Pictures and a write up are coming.  Patience young Padowan.

Sorry haven't been on here for a while, kinda been a hypocrite lol. Also been spending most my time on the new xterra forum. Probably going to start a build thread on here too unless there is a way to port it over. Anyways just ordered some parts for my up in coming Titan swap. Got the m205 ordered, half axles, LCA's, and total chaos UCA's. I got the diff for a bargain off of car-parts.com. it is a 2011 with 5600mi on it for 350 plus 85 for shipping. I had to double check with the dude to make sure it was the whole assembly for that price! Hope nothing crazy is wrong with it. Guess ill. Find out Haha. Still worth it though

Haha no definitely just joined at the wrong time year.

Working on some things that could help fix that as well.  Stay tuned for possibly some positive changes. 

I should probably also remind people (no one in particular by the way) that this sort of casual club is only as good as what people make it with their contributions - whether that means setting up runs or events, providing help with good answers to questions (we do have a lot of very helpful, knowledgeable people here) or whatever.
Title: Re: this forum seems dead?
Post by: Ghost65 on November 17, 2011, 07:27:52 PM
For sure positive changes...we should (similar to thenewx) feature a Club Thread that features Members X's.

Cool.  I didn't know we could just add a forum like that (or perhaps Mitch has more powers than I realized).  Either way, great idea John and thanks for setting that up Mitch.

BTW would it be possible for tapatalk app support. For android?  My laptop died a few days ago and this forum is APITA to use on the phone. I can do some research to see what it will take to do that and if it would be worth it.

At least you understood what he was talking about - I was about to ask for an English translation.  I guess I'm not up on all the latest technology.

I'm the unofficial event planner so its great!  The New Years run is turning into a camping trip on New Years Eve and then wheeling on new years day.  Oh hell and if you make it out that would be awesome. 

Swami says there is an AZXC run in your future!
