R50 Adventures

[Adnan]

what do you guys do with your trucks other then commuting? yea..sounds like a dumb question (4x4 duh) but really...i think its worth asking

i am somewhat intrigued by offroading and climbing obsticles,howevereven the tiniest chip is all it takes to ruin my day....what i do to amuse myself sometimes is toss it in rwd and let the rear tires play

[fueler]

drive bys, bank robberies, drug deals, u know the biz

[Adnan]

hehe thats the difference between a pathfinder driverand a qx4 driver

[slickroger]

sound like the daily routine

[Adnan]

hehe...do you guys do burnouts or any fishtailing in your trucks?

[fueler]

nah, just your regular soccer mom grocery getter

[Qxxx4]

in the summer i just roll around the streets system up and dark tints rolled up, sunroof open, and drive around fast. But the winter is play time. I love when we get snowstorms im out fishtailing everywhere and blasting pasts civics stuck in the snow. Last year my buddy kept laughing at how much i paid for gas and finally one morning i drive by his house and hes digging his car out of the snow cuz he cant make it out his driveway....so i just drive ontop of the 2ft snowbank on his driveway say get in and BLAST out of there, no problem.

high gas prices make it worth it in the winter....god i love it.

i loved suv's first when i was a kid...that one year toronto had to call in the army to dig us out...i help my dad shovel out the grand prix out of the snow...and get stuck getting out.....then i see a cherokee just blast around us, like nothing. ahhh what a great memory...now i do that all the time in the winters :p

yep us SUV drivers can be real pricks

[Qxxx4]

oh btw....another great thing to do in the qx4's (cuz its the LUXURY pathfinder) is throw a humidor inside it and smoke a cigar while driving down the 410, like your tony soprano or something...if only i had some 22's and a humidor...lmao

[ReKleineR]

Where I live theres not much to do, so all the town kids hang out at the gas station and cause trouble, so I like to leave and slam gears and let the cai do all the talkin. They probably think their older brothers ford sounds cool, but they love the sound of a pathfinder. I know. lol

But yeah winters are great in N.H. everyones in there subarus doin 25-30 and I just pass them and drift on every corner. It took me a lil while to learn the art of doing donuts, but I got it down. Fun stuff...

I really need to grow up, gas prices are outrageous. NOT!

i do that, but with some sort of funny smelling cigar that looks like it has been cut open and modified in some way.

[jimmyzzer]

take mine off road I wouldnt think of it.

[Qxxx4]

im too white for THOSE cigars. Plus im pretty sure a fatty like that surpasses the "personal legal limit" in canadian law. Or at least thats what the friendly stanger told me...

[Qxxx4]

how is it that slick roger and fueler seem to always bring the sticky-icky into every thread. you two need to be seperated. kids.

ill stick to my vodka n beers........and cigars. REGULAR ones.

[Adnan]

hehe...i like the way you guys roll

im sure me and qxxx4 got a few things in commonlove for the tints and bang in the

[KoukiS14]

I used to launch it off stuff, but I sold mine last April. But I still launch the thing I have now, and offroad as much as possible. . even tho it's a car.

Honestly, I was going to go bankrupt if I kept the QX4... I'll wait until this "war on terror" is over and then shop for another.

[fueler]

co-pilot drinking some sort of tenessee corn whiskey

[SnowSurfLax]

Wow! That stuff's hi-class.

You gotta buy the moonshine sold in the mason jars. Now THAT'S some serious hooch.

[fueler]

snowsurf- hehe platte valley corn whiskey. I fell in love with it a few years ago, then i was shocked to find it in a glass display case in the "house of USA" in Balboa Park. Turns out its a classic american whiskey. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3MkJRsKbfU

[slickroger]

Cigar modification, to me a cigar isnt a cigar unless its modified. for a cigar to be over canadas legal limit the cigar needs to be pretty big.Depending on your officer and honesty factor. Drive safe take what you use, or develop an amazing hiding spot.

[fueler]

develop an amazing hiding spot.

theres a few good ones in the R50 but im not giving them away!!

[WINNIPEGS_MOST_WANTED]

[screwinitupagain]

this is from some time ago like a year & a half or so)

[screwinitupagain]

heres the cigar shot

[fueler]

i wish i was smokin a c igar in the woods...

[screwinitupagain]

i wish i was smokin a cigar in the woods...

We also bring all kinds of firearms out there & shoot the sh*t outta them!

[KoukiS14]

I stopped going off pavement in mine when I decided to drive down by the river with it, and got it stuck. . granted, it was stock with the dueler H/T tires and non-locking diff, etc. Lifted 6" and with the correct tires, it would have been good. .

....

But uhh. . I got it stuck so bad I had to go rent a treaded Bobcat to dig it out. A guy showed up and helped me with it. . fortunate, because the dam had just been opened and in 24 hours the water would been over my roof.

[Adnan]

thats a crazy truck ****initupagain

just an update : i went for a u-turn on front of my buddy's house last night and went full throttle on it (dry concrete)...the nastiest fishtail so far LOL purple smoke everywhere and i held up pretty wellon the LSD this time LOL

[ReKleineR]

I usually catch posi if I turn left and dump the clutch.

[screwinitupagain]

thats a crazy truck ****initupagain

Thanks, but those were from a couple of years ago & it has since had a bunch of other crap put on it. I'll try & get some pics the next time I go wheelin'.

[hearse83]

The only time I can really get the rear wheels spinning is if I just came out of a car wash and the tires are all wet. The thing barely has the power to get out of it's own way.

HOWEVER

4 Low range is great for applying the V6 torque to certain situations. I don't get to do a lot off of roading. My girlfriend and I did a little impromptu off roading last time we were in the rockies because...well...it's fun times. But mostly the truck is used for navigating the urban jungle. My adventures consist of

1. Using the thing to get all my band's equipment in. We can get 3 4X12 cabs in there, 3 amps, and a 15" bass bin, as well as all our stands, pedal boards, and guitars in the hard cases in there. The only thing we can't fit in there is the drum kit. That's pretty good for a 5 piece metal band.

2. Using the thing to drive over curbs and whatever else is in the way when I'm trying to get somewhere that's blocked by some obstical.

3. PLAYING IN THE SNOW! The QX4 is really second to none in it's segment and most other SUV's and pickups when it comes to snow. Only other Nissans, the FJ, and Jeeps outclass me in the white stuff.

4. Moving cars around...

that's right....

I said moving cars around...

So most people who park a stick either do so with the parking brake or leave it in 1st. This has come in handy with the parallel parking in front of my girlfriend's building. Sometimes you get some jerk that you could easily have fit behind if he had only moved up a few more feet. So those two little plastic black pads on the front of the bumper get placed nice and flush behind the other person's vehicle and then I switch to 4L, and just gently nudge that vehicle forward until I can fit in that space comfortably. To this date, I have not damaged anyones vehicle or even left dirt marks. And as for the plastic pads on the front of the QX they are very resiliant pieces. I happen to know from one incident where my truck decided to hump a right-turning minivan that if heated, they will pop back out like a milk jug. True story. I (yes my stupid fault) rear ended a guy and crushed the black pieces of the bumper in. The temperature increased quite a bit over the next two days, and the bumper slowly retained it's natural shape over those couple of days.

...the self healing truck...I love it.



This was up in banff...great for taking snowboarding, and all the equipment fits easy. The heated seats make winter almost bearable.

I also had 8 girls in there once...
