Does anyone ITT have one of the new Rangers? I've been researching all kinds of 4x4s and I've zeroed in on the Ranger FX4. It feels like a good fit because I'll have a truck for truck stuff, I can fit a car seat for the little one, and it's super capable offroad for some off-roading day and overnight trips. Just curious to hear any goon experiences owning one.

Friends, I appreciate all the Ranger info!  After weeks of looking at and considering Rangers, I decided to buy an Xterra PRO4X that I found with only 30k miles.

That’s an awesome trip. I’m super jealous of anyone who has the PNW in their backyard. It’s just gorgeous in every direction.

Ehud posted:Friends, I appreciate all the Ranger info! So funny story, this didn't work out, but I found one exactly like it with 48k miles, private party for about 5k cheaper. I just picked it up yesterday and I am very happy except for one issue. It doesn't fit in my garage  The guy who owned it before me kept it absolutely mint. It has zero wear from the sun, so I feel obliged to keep it nice. I work from home so I'm contemplating just grabbing a car cover. Anyways, time to plan some adventures

phosdex posted:Hello thread, last year I moved to northern New Mexico and now I bought a Jeep to explore around in the mountains. Beautiful area and awesome Jeep! I like the green. I'm planning some half day trips for local trails to get my feet wet and figure out what I'm doing in my Xterra. What apps do you all use to scout out and navigate trails, camp sites, etc.? It seems like Gaia is the big one most people use, and then I see some recs for OnX Offroad. I downloaded both but most of the good features are behind paywall. I don't mind subbing to one of them, but I'm not sure which to pick. I really just need something to help me find trails around me, get me to the entrance, make sure the trail is open, and give me some info on what to expect when I get out there.

The Royal Nonesuch posted:(Disclaimer: this advice largely applies to my experience in the western deserts, not heavily forested areas although I do travel to those as well) Thanks for all the tips. I might just head out with nothing but google maps and some pre-trip research and see how that goes, then see if I feel the need to get Gaia. I joined a couple local FB groups as well.

Finally got a chance to go off pavement for the first time in my Xterra. This is Horse Pasture Road in upstate SC. It's not technical at all, but still a lot of fun. It's about 7 miles of dirt and gravel with a lot of elevation and some nice views on the way up.  At the top is a place called Jumping Off Rock which overlooks Lake Jocassee.  They have some camp sites that overlook the lake. This may be my first overnight trip once I grab a few things to be able to sleep in the truck.
