Whoever expects a yard, but wants to work inches, should be kicked by a foot.

Tall skinny. 33x10.5x15 bfg km2. Seem like they were built with slushy snow in mind.

This has been messing with me all week. My commute goes from South Seattle to Bangor/Key Port, seems like your color Wd21 are breeding in this area!

I'm sure it's been done, but right now I've got my AC pump out PC the truck. It's sure tempting to make a new bracket and put the alternator in its place!

I'm sure more than a few of us would love a build page and some more pics of your setup!!

C-R, "Can't Remember"

'92 XE rapist red with crank windows here! Wouldn't change them for anything. Had to borrow my father in laws 2005 Chevy 2500, wouldn't you know it, had to open the door at the dump to pay...

Xtra Exclusive.

Ran both, same size (33x10.50), both wore well and evenly. Only difference I can really point to is the KM's performed better in deep snow, KM2's were quieter.

I have yet to see a truck that black soft eights don't look good on. Don't over complicate your exterior mods, truck looks great!

My brother in law, 20yr Chrysler tech with every cert imaginable. Wouldn't even let him detail my car. Luckily local forums can help narrow down dependable help. We've got a few good subie shops around here. The pathy has to put up with me...

My CRS (can't remember s$&t) may be acting up! It was a hot little ride whatever was under the hood!

That's one of my favorite body styles. If I remember right a kid at my high school had one with a v6 and 5sp. He pissed a lot of the 5.Doh mustang kids off.

It's actually kind of in between what silverton and precise were discussing. If you stall the engine in a climb, and rolling backwards while going from brake to gas would put you in a worse situation. You can use the bypass. Left foot on brake, right on the gas, bump the ignition and give it a little gas, off you go. However in 7 years of wheeling mine I never once needed it. Did try a few times just for novelty.

He has an WD21, front locker would have no effect on the road in 2wd. Also it may be an open rear. If you are open front and rear, a traction device in either diff would be a night and day difference. The Lokka is available for the r200 front and is relatively inexpensive. Lockright for an open rear, but it has a few drawbacks on the road.

Congrats on the purchase (and the new niece/nephew) the 4.0 has proven to be a reliable power plant. The guides on the timing chain have a tendency for failure leading to an rpm dependent whine (similar to a super charger). You are also right on the cusp of the radiator redesign. The transmission cooler inside of the radiator can fail allowing coolant to contaminate the ATF. Google SMOD relative to the xterra (which IOU share engine and trans with)

^^Ha!^^ that's great! I was in downtown Seattle, driving on 5th stopped at a red light in my 1992 Bronco. It started shaking around and I punched the steering wheel thinking the truck was dying. Construction crew members started pouring into the street from a building across from me. I thought, sweet, earthquake. Pulled her into drive and went about my way.

Wish we had that kind of snow this year!

A good way to easily swap in a twin stick tcase. I want to put a locker in the front end, it would be great to be able to pull it out of 4lo into 2lo on the really tight corners we have here.

And, on the other other hand. I have no upgrades in the engine, but do run 33's. I really enjoy the low gearing out on the trails and around town. No complaints here.

Not at all! They had a "Oh, your driving these to the mall, I thought they'd be used on the farm and trails" moment.

I don't have a manual, but nothing going wrong with your truck can affect your cruising rpm's. How is your gas mileage?

I have nothing to add as I have no knowledge of the Diesel engines. I would do an Internet search of your area, maybe there is a local nissan enthusiast group, and take it to someone who is very familiar with the quirks of this engine. A second opinion is invaluable. We had a bearing go out on the output shaft of our WRX. First guy said new tranny without opening it up, guy #2, subie specialist, diagnosed it correctly with his ears. 1/4 of the price and we were rolling.

^^agreed^^ that's a play ground for every level.

I've been a fan of those wheels! Welcome, lots of fun to be had in the PNW!
