I Kept having problems with the Rusty’s track bar breaking at the Tie Rod end. In fear of it breaking driving down the road I ordered a Rock Krawler Heavy Duty Track Bar with a new bracket. |
Rock crawling is no longer just for Jeep owners. Advance Adapters now offers a specially designed transfer case for the Nissan off road enthusiast who is ready to take his truck to the next level. Swapping out your stock Nissan transfer case with the new Advance Adapters Atlas transfer case will give your truck the ability to reach deep down into those lower gears and rock crawl with the best of them out on the trails. The install into a solid axle swapped Nissan Pathfinder or Hardbody is no big deal with this new Atlas adapter. Here are the step by step instructions on how to get it done.

Calico, CA – The 22nd Expeditionary Group headed out to Calico this past weekend to welcome Oz and Jesse into the club. As usual, the event was organized through Rugged Rocks Off Road & Communications and advertised through several forums. We also welcomed John from North Carolina for his first outing with us and who had no reserve tackling the trails with his stock ’95 Pathfinder on muds.
The 22nd Expeditionary Group headed out to Pinyon Mountain Area for a day of trail riding in Anza-Borrego. The trail starts off as a scenic easy drive heading east from Hwy S-2 and empting into Fish Creek from which numerous options for completing the trail are offered. This report focuses on Pinyon Mountain Road up until reaching Fish Creek.
Our map by Wilderness Press identifies two obstacles on the trail, however we encountered several more. The first few miles of the trail offer great scenery and is rather mild. Most 2wd high clearance vehicles should be able to make this run. Up until the first obstacle known as The Squeeze the trail is considered a two way trail. From this point forward every vehicle should have at least 33” tires, 4wd, armor, and a locker and winch is highly recommended. The Squeeze is exactly as the name implies. To get through this obstacle one must squeeze through the rock crevice. Our vehicles included Xterra’s, 4Runner’s, and an FJ Cruiser. Clearance on either side of the vehicle through The Squeeze is measured in millimeters. All vehicles made it through with only the FJ receiving a couple minor scrapes.
