White Rim Trail is on my bucket list. Think a 20 year old, bone stock Xterra could make it?

Trying to 1-day it, multiday unsupported, or supported multiday?

The riding isn't all that spicy, for the most part. It's an old road, and still drivable (with decent suspension), but I'd be reluctant to do it unsupported on something that old. If you've got the option to just throw it on the jeep / a full repair kit, though, then sure!

Multiday for sure . I wanna savor it. Would like to hit the Maze too. It would be in a small posse of friends. Three vehicles, one a lifted Xterra about as old as mine, with two pretty solid mechanics. Some youtube videos make it look like stock 4x4s other than Jeeps can manage it.

My suspicion is you'd be fine - we did it with a 2007 Nissan Frontier. There were a couple spicy sections, but nothing that ever made me think 'fuck we're not going to make this', just like 'bah this might take a minute'.

YMMV, but it wasn't terrible

Also did it in late 2019, so plausibly things have changed since.

Our third vehicle would be a 2010 Frontier. I'm taking that as a sign. Thanks for your input!

Just did it in Sept of '22 in a stock Jeep Compass Trailhawk.. A bit spicy here and there, but the Trailhawk did just fine.. 1 Day trip clockwise, about 14hrs..

I did it in my 2015 stock frontier and had zero issues. Pushed it and caught air a couple times even.
