Allen, thank you again to you, your Dad and LemonDrop for heading back up to get Jorge's Xterra running.

That's two years in a row you've helped fix vehicles on Golden Spike, next year I'll make sure Nissan, or Tynan's is paying you to be there helping us out.

Allen,

Great seeing you again. You're one hell of a guy to help os out like you do.

Now that you're back I'll be seeing you at Tynan's for all of my Xterra service.

Take care.

Vince

All I can say is....been there, done that, and saw the unexpected....so let's just put the incedents aside and move on to the next trail down the road.....it could have been me in there too.

I had a good time wheelin for the first time in Moab and I wheeled with some people I trusted and followed their judgment when it came to being spotted or not....Thanks Ian for taking the time to do so whether it be frustrating or not, it was still worth it. I have to also just thank those just watching on and helping out a buddy in need.

Allen....you rock....by the way I do have a problem with my X.

You have a pm there RJ.

I'm there for the 'X Guys' anytime. I'm always down for some 4xFun!

I take it that noise wasn't a exhaust hanger?

I am still not sure what the noise was. I know I was feeling it under the passenger floor board also.
It goes in for service next week just before I hit the 60K mark so I will throw what I can to the techs.

It's not about the pay, actually, getting paid for doing that wouldn't be right, you know? Just helping out is what I like to do. But if Nissan wanted to get me a warmer sleeping bag for next year, I'd be up for that.

I just like hanging with you guys. I've wheeled with a lot of different people, and you guys are cool. I'd rather wheel with you guys than anyone else. That, and Ian has some damn sexy legs!

So it was Nissan themselves that brought it there? Interesting.

Was there any damage done to it?

The Titan was brought out be Nissan marketing. Several employees with no offroad experience thrashed it for a day. It suffered cosmetic damage for the most part, dents and scratches. It has towed a 05 Frontier mockup to and from the event.

Was it a pre-production vehicle? If anyone knows the details of the interior of a Titan and checked it out was it identical? I know the pre-production X that was sent all over the place to get reviews had a fee differences with various knobs and dials and other little things that were different that one wouldn't notice unless they owned one. It got beat up and it just met its fate in the crusher in the end.

I was shocking to me when I realized that an automaker will send a vehicle out, let it get abused and then just destroy it since it has served its marketing and publicity purpose.
