We had discussed an event where if you wanted to "learn the ropes" of being a trail guide, that we would set up a Saturday in an area with multiple obstacles, that spotting and whatnot could be taught. This idea was to find something local, on private property, so it was not a matter of dr...

I got to catch the trail hawk climb from the other side of the ravine.

It impressed me.

I was thinking we should reset the steering angle sensor.
The steering was pretty far off before the alignment got done iirc.

The radio got tuned, and the 710 cap got rotated.

Better than the worst case scenario.

I've used Napa spray bombs, they're usually pretty close.

I found that if you wet sand it after painting, and then give it a final spray with clear coat, it comes out pretty good.

Welcome!

My 2c..

I don't know if I'd go bedliner myself, but flat black for sure.

If you try to match it, and it's off by a shade or two, it will usually stick out like a sore thumb.

Going a contrasting colour like black will make it less noticeable.

All I heard there was "Mike's truck is small"

So I have been through this. I had a Jeep with 31inch 15:50’s Mikey Thompson’s cruising down lakeshore. Cop had a car pulled over and yanked me for hearing me coming. He checked his radar and had nothing on me and I was clean on everything else. Held me for 30mins and decided to hit me with tires o...

Welcome

Yep, all is done.

I need to write up the last part and post some pics. I think that won't happen until next week.

Rhino, you've been upgraded.

Scored piston walls will cause high oil consumption.

Burning oil causes plugged cats

It's a vicious cycle

If the catalyst is physically broken, then yes, that is a possibility. I have seen it multiple times. Exhaust pulses as the engine goes through its 4 cycles. During that moment it pulses, there is negative pressure in the exhaust. Being a manicat, the catalyst material is right there at the engine, ...

How long have you been running that setup Mike? I upgraded mine when I had by IFS Xterra, SLR I think, and it was way better than stock, but still left something to be desired. The TC setup looks pretty good, for a crappy design...how did Nissan get the steering dsign so wrong? 4-5ish years I think...

LONG TERM TESTING  I have had to replace the heim’s twice since being installed, as they had a little play in the joints, and I wasn't comfortable driving it.  The first set I ordered from a local hot rod shop, and got hosed on the price.  I have since found that TMR carries them at about a third of...

In 2010 I started wheeling a 2003 Xterra I drove it like I stole it, and by 2011 I had replaced most of the steering 3 times. http://i612.photobucket.com/albums/tt209/john_arbor/Truck%20mods/09C34046-CE33-452F-92B8-5071CE7898CA.jpg This started my search for a heavy duty solution. I considered big t...

So far a rebuild kit from TotalChaos in California, and maybe upper control arm bushings from 4x4 parts in Florida.

I might have a couple spare bushings that were still good from the last time I rebuilt the control arms. Need to check my toolbox tonite.
