  1. I have been advised against leafs to stuff 35s and against keeping my 3" BL with my coil over...I'm going to keep the 3" bl and try to make 35-37s work with a SAS but less sprung weight lift and use the BL to clear tires but we shall see over The next 12 months
  2. Inside or outside? Most people find junk yard or build an after market one
  3. Id get that skid plate back on...but that's just me and the way I wheel its a requirement...
  4. If you're interested in traveling or shipping your truck hit up Carolina Truggies...they do good work from what I've seen...I met Alex at autofair with about 8 of their rigs...I know I've been costing mine out and to do it myslef and is gonna be about 3-4k... Steevo at Rugged Rocks Offroad is working on a SAS kit for WD21s and is also a good point of contact for parts
  5. Not bad if they fit and if that's for a set of 2...I don't have any experience other than mine rusting bulbs in
  6. It kinda sucks to fish out from behind the skid plate...can u rotate it forward and tie it up that way?
  7. I drove from CA to SC and from SC to UT with a trailer and it wasn't the worst without any sway bars but not recommended
  8. I've started my SAS...I haven't planned too much other than a couple brackets I'm cutting off for sure (leaving some that I may want to modify instead of cutting off completely) I have my axle which I have started disassembling so i can cut the putter C's and fix my caster angle once I determine my pinion angle...I have ruled out leafs and am probably doing a 5 link up front (some variation of JK, TJ or YJ) and plan to do the RROR 4 link kit in the rear but I'm on a 6-12 month plan to get 2wd working...I expect this SAS to cost about $4k by the time I'm all said ajd done including my rear springs, 4.88 gears, driveahafts etc so far I'm $200 in so far including gas to go get my axle and its got a of work to go
  9. I honestly don't think the disconnects would help offroad...we wheeled the gfs truck this weekend and I didn't really see any difference except we didn't break anything on hers and I usually waste a TRE or 3 on mine...yes you get more travel but I think it stresses the suspension out more and leaves you breaking stuff
  10. Depends on what type of driver you are...I've had front sway bars off of my truck for 3+ years...I can drive it but it scares the @!*% out of people who rode with me...I've heard from folks behind me that I would lift a front tire off the ground...I wore out a lot of suspension components and broke a lot of stuff...all for no real advantage...id leave the front on and the back off...just took the gfs rear off and she realized a slight difference but said it was an improvement for her
  11. IMO if you can get the harness and ecu out of the frontier then id swap that into the pathfinder. Also you need to investigate what suspension you will run along with what transfer case and gears you will run There is lots of stuff in the hardcore mod section...I would expect a SAS, 4.88 or higher gears, some form of doubler and probably some rear suspension geometry changes... All the above is under the impression this will be wheeled and not a street truck
  12. I had some clutch chatter with my centerforce it was really bad in 1st...I haven't noticed it in a while and I won't drive my truck again for a long time...I pulled all the IFS out...my clutch got 120 highway miles on it and I let the blue smoke roll on a trail...and have had it hot/smoking a couple of other times and I haven't had any more issues...this also includes an 1800 mile drive to moab thru the Eisenhower tunnel (forget the pass name) pulling a heavy ass trailer The chatter has all but gone away...sometimes I got it on a cold morning in 1st gear until it warmed up....my 2008 Tacoma has the same issues in the winter as well
  13. Hopefully we can get a template made and material this weekend...only tricky thing will be the snaps...we repaired a battery cable tonight and have to figure out how to uncoordinated her AC drain BC i cleaned it once and its still dumping ice cold water on the floorboard when pitched or off camber while off road... as soon as we do if it turns out good will def post up pix
  14. So was talking to the ole lady about making her a new shift boot cover and figured id seek an opportunity for her to make some money from home....she wants to make a pink boot cover for her dry rotten leather cover out of pink camo and a cover for the plastic pieces that go cross truck where the dome light is between the driver and passenger...we don't have pics yet but figured if people would be interested and if so if they could post pics...I'm just feeling out how well we need to do our execution and if there is any interest in the community...I plan on cloth material over another leather type cover or just a leather material Thoughts? Opinions? Interest?
  15. Gotcha...mine is starting to get stupid again but I think I've damaged the clock spring since I never put the wheel on straight
  16. U can just replace the lil copper contacts in the clock spring....or find my write up about spacing the clock ring...pull the back cover of the steering wheel off and I bet there's shavings everywhere...my cruise stopped then my horn stopped....
  17. Oh I freaked out....its just amazing what people will do....that was just a time bomb....we got lucky
  18. No joke....completely want to find the moron who did this and kick them in the nuts
  19. The top 2-3 coils on the Nissan aren't really active coils unless offroading and then really the top 2 coils aren't but you could almost check how you are adjusting the spring rate http://www.engineersedge.com/spring_comp_calc_k.htm
  20. Yea all your fault...not readying the sarcasm through the text....what the hell man? Nah wouldn't ever take anything away from Steve...he's a cool guy...disappointed I won't have the chance to wheel and have a beer with him at Moab this year
  21. 1ST scratch....thank u carbide circular saw blade...
  22. I'm not taking away...just saying that he's wheeled his ass off with a 35 on a stock carrier...it was like the 3rd post to answer the OP about 35s...it was sarcasm
