That sounds like it'll be a nifty rig. I always like a diesel on the trail. Unfortunatley for me, Nissan says I don't want one, so the diesel Xterra never made it to the states. It's like my own little G-wagon story...

If you can fit 33's, I'd recommend it. The forest service says 32" or greater, and most people I know say 35". And lockers. And a winch is highly recomended for at least one member of your group. And extra fuel. I don't have half of that stuff... So I took a canoe! (and stopped before it got difficult!)
