A small contingent of PNWX members were up in the Harrison Hills area of BC this weeend when One of our members made a unscheduled offroad excursion! It was Perry's first time out. Stock tires on a snowy?icy logging road!

The brush guard when it collpased hit the hood, cracked the grill, bent the fender which prohibited him from opening the drivers door!

Dam that sucks...that should now become the picture of choice when someone asks which brushguard should they buy to go offroad.

Yep, he would have had less damage with just the stock bumber and no brush gard! I bet the hood is expensive.

They says experience is the best teacher but, I think, that looking at the pic I've learned plenty of more leasons way not to go with a brushguard for offroading.

Glad to hear it! It was a sad sight to see such a good looking Xterra messed up like that. Tires & ARB needed!

I gotta agree on the "nice looking" comment, my previous ride was blue but I thought I needed a change. I have no idea what I was thinking when I chose silver. Ahhh well, hopefully when I put muds on it I'll feel better :D

I gotta say the silver looks badass on the XTerra though. I almost wish I had got the silver.... grass is always greener..

Silver is boring!!!!!!!
My '96 Maxima was Super Black........too much trouble to keep clean!
Yellow is just right! Just like my '89 Porsche! :D

I'm definately going for tiers the "Generals" Nissan put on are junk. It's a 4x4 why would they put on CHEAP steet tiers. I should have changed those right a way.

I had two black trucks - sweet but too hard to keep clean. I dig the Silver, Green and the new sand colour the best. I thought on the yellow but figured I would buy it, drive it for a week and then get up one day and look at it and wonder what the hell I was thinking:frog:
I guess I'm just not cool enough for Solar Yellow.
Bluz' - you know those dang 'ol General Tires cost more than some BFG's to buy new! I have also heard the Long Trails advertised as "High-mileage & great All Terrain Tires." :silly2:
I had a bungee cord (yes - a wussy little bungee cord) go right through the tread on my Long Trails at Mt. Rainier. Thats when I went and got myself some BFG's.

Hmmmm, I guess your right but if Elle McPherson took a dump would you look at her turds the same way as you'd look at her fine butt?
