    Exterior finish opinions for new expedition trailer

    Having the axle that far back will make it much easier to steer in reverse... I hate backing up short wheel base trailers

    In the market for new rims... What's the ideal rim dia?

    I personally like 15's for anything up to a 35" tire. If going bigger than a 35 i like to step up in wheel size, for street driving having to much sidewall can leave you with a vague steering feel.

    Fontier v. Xterra ? (2002-2004 Gens)

    Crew cab Frontier has enough room for 2 car seats in the rear or young children but that is the limitation. Young teens and adults will not fit comfortably in the back. I took the seats our of the rear of my crew cab and have installed a flat floor level with the top of the drivetrain hump, it...

    Cooling system issue

    There is a rubber hose behind the timing cover that connects to the top of the thermostat housing and it is notorious for leaking. It's a real pain in the ******** to change but is more than likely the cause of the dampness you are seeing. I usually recommend changing this hose when doing the...

    Suspension Set ups

    I would not recommend using an air shock from the companies you listed. THose are designed to carry the entire weight of the vehicle and running them at a low enough pressure to not make the ride stiff will ruin their dampening properties. I would run a factory spring rate leaf spring with a...

    2wd to 4wd xterra conversion?

    It can be done. I did it on my 04 frontier (same drivetrain). You will need a new transmission or the rear housing of a 4wd trans and a new mainshaft. ( i scored a trans off ebay for 450 shipped with about 40k on it) Then you will need a transfercase, front differential, front crossmember, outer...

    Tent search

    I just recently started looking into a bigger tent that was easy to setup and stumbled on this http://www.coleman.com/coleman/colemancom/detail.asp?product_id=2000007832&categoryid=11020&brand= They have the 8 person in the link and also offer a slightly smaller 6 person. I'm not sure on the...

    New Modified Teardrop Concept, Max Storage with Slide-Out

    I love the idea and will be borrowing the slide idea for my own build.... However, I like head room so why couldn't you make your bed move down once the kitchen is out. If the weather is real nasty and you don't want to have the kitchen out you can still sleep with it in it's current location...

    Refreashing suspension, small lift, on a 2003 QX4 (Pathfinder)

    I'm a big fan of KYB monotubes. A buddy of mind just put some on his 01 frontier and it made a huge difference in ride quality on and off road (not serious offroad just beach and local woods).

    Trailer or pop top truck camper?

    My post may have been misleading a bit. By a tent of some type I meant something more along the lines of a flip pac style or a rtt mounted on a trailer. The wife and I are both tired of tent camping and don't want to set up and brake down a tent every day on long trips. Whatever we choose we...

    Trailer or pop top truck camper?

    Anyone? You don't have to have experience with both just looking for people with either one to share their pros and cons. Is there anything in your setup that you wish you had but can't because of what you choose? I have been looking through a lot of builds like tacodoc's and the sawtooth...

    Trailer or pop top truck camper?

    First of all the vehicle is a 2004 Nissan frontier crew cab. I originally started to build the truck as more of a crawler and swapped to a solid front axle. Now that i'm nearing the end of the suspension modification the wife and I have decided to aim more for the overlanding side of things, 2-3...

    ^^ That rig is the coolest Nissan based overlanding rig by far. I love the front bumper, simple and clean.

    Way to go Olympic Mountain Rescue!!!

    Congrats to the team. On a side note. The thread was started to congratulate a team who saved a life, not complain about dogs and the rules owners should follow. I truly doubt the owner was out to cause harm to wildlife or her dog.
