I got my hitch through U-haul for $125. The dealer wanted about three times as much. It looks identical to the factory one. I installed it myself. The truck has nuts welded to the inside of the frame, so all you do is bolt it on with six bolts.

Looking for a little advice. I want to buy a 2011 Frontier. I have narrowed it down to 2 similar vehicles. Price, Miles, and options are the same except one is a long bed, (6ft). The other is a short bed (5.5ft) but a pro-4x. What are your thoughts. Is the Pro-4x package worth the loss of...

I would consider asking for a carfax report. Most dealers will provide them for free. If not get the vin number and run one yourself.

I have a 1993 4 cylinder. It has had lots of abuse, and continues to be very reliable.

I would consider the Dodge Power Wagon. An extremely capable truck right from the dealer.

You might consider Cooper Discoverer ST. I have them on my Trooper and have been very happy with them. I have over 20,000 miles on them now and they do not look worn much, I am anticipating very long mileage from them. I was able to buy 5 of them for less than 4 of other major brands, the...

I love my Cooper ST tires. Great price for what you get. They have done well every place I go.

I had to compress the spring only a little bit to get it to fit. How much taller is the spring than the available room you have between the spring mounts? The OME springs are progressive rate, meaning one end of the spring is much harder to compress than the other. Make sure you are...

You will have to diconnect the shocks to get enough extension from the axle to remove the springs. The shock acts as a limiting factor for axle drop. When I did mine I raised the frame until the axle was off the ground, the placed a jack between the axle and the frame to force the axle down a...

Some Mitsubishi Monteros and Raiders (sold under the Dodge name) have factory suspension seats. They are quite comfortable. They also bolt to a flat floor, similar to the Fuso, so they look easy to adapt.

My Trooper has been the best value in a vehicle that I have ever had. I could buy two troopers for the same price as a 60. Don't get me wrong I love the cruisers, I have owned a 40 and a 25 ( should never have sold it.) I strongly recomend finding one with a limited slip. It greatly...

I guess that the air bags are designed for stock ride height? Do they have a provision for installing on lifted vehicles? Or is there enough play in the bags to allow for small lifts?

I have always liked these. A great platform to begin with. www.megacruiser.com

I have owned both the AT KO, and the MT. I truly believe that the AT is a better all around tire. The only advatage of the MT is that it self cleans the tread well. I feel that the road handling of the AT is better, especially the wet traction. They are far superior in the ice and packed...

I am using Old Man Emu N65 firm shocks. They replaced the original shocks that had about 40,000 miles on them. There is a huge improvement in body roll in corners, however I did a complete suspension upgrade at the same time and perhaps the rear is stiffer and helps accomplish less roll. I...

Looking Good! I can't tell from the picture but it looks like the roof rack is attached directly to the factory rail slot, that is a much cleaner look than what I have found before. Most of the rack systems I have looked at have a metal clip that extends into the door opening, and the doors...

I had just one piont to throw in here. It seems that most of you are running lifts of some sort. The Load Sensing Proportioning Valve on the rear axle is often over looked during the lift installs. If this is not relocated properly it can put undue stress on the front brakes, especially when...

Does any one here have any experience with this brand of tent? I am thinking of getting one for the Trooper. www.autohomeus.com \

I had way to many compact discs in my trooper, in the glove compartment, map pockets, etc. They were getting dirty, scratched, and lost, and taking up way to much space. I decided to install an I-pod compatible stereo. It was a very simple installation, the same as any other stereo except...

Yes you should prime bare metal. What kind of metal is it? What kind of primer will be determined by the type of metal it is and the topcoat you intend to use. Do you have a picture of the harness.
