    Whats up everyone

    Just picked up this 2017 TRD sport 4x4 long bed as I decided to retire my 06 xterra 4x4 offroad manual.
    Got this with the intent of having it for a long time, camping, backpacking, hunting, travel, moving dogs and family.
    Put in an order for an ARE MX cap with windoors and the pet screens - figured I would sacrifice slight looks, in favor of the reason I bought the truck, because no one has ever said, "I have too much headroom."

    I can weld so I am looking at doing a similar platform build like @1patriot4life did.
    probably one of the best sleeping platform threads ive seen: (https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...eping-platform-drawer-storage-systems.424709/)
    Although I do have some thoughts on putting your cooking stove integrated into your sleeping arrangements, because I know bears can smell that.....

    Welcome! I had the same year Xterra with the qm1 paint that just flaked off.

    Glad to be rid of that.

    Love the capabilities of the truck, the storage, the versatility, but hated nissan service and working on it. Replacing an intake to do spark plugs?! no thank you.
    But I do have very fond memories with it. Looking forward to new ones with this one. Ive already had a far better customer experience at the toyota dealer.
