Hey! I've been lurking around for a few weeks, here's my crew as it gets built for the trails. Headed for goneMOAB in May, anyone around here gonna' attend?

Recently the truck has had these mods:

ARE canopy and rack/basket
Shrock sliders with some skids that need painted and installed
AC coil/leaf lift
AC diff skid

Nice outfit, welcome to the Portal.

Moab in May is a fine place to be, should be a fun trip! :safari-rig:

Welcome!
Nice truck, I have a LEER cap that looks every similar to yours. I have a question for you: Do you have the longer shocks in the rear with the AC AAL's? I just put in an order for the 3 leaf AAL's and wasn't going to get the longer shocks right away.

Thanks Everyone for the nice welcome!

I have the longer bilsteins installed with what was a replace-a-leaf. The overload was removed and a different one installed. Doesn't look like the brake lines need modified either.

Beautiful truck, bro!

What did that replace-a-leaf do for your load carrying ability? How do you like it, and how much lift did it achieve?

I'd love to be so close to Oregon that I could explore it on a whim. Please share about any trips you've done or will do. :smiley_drive:
BTW: when is Gone Moab?

Thanks, this is my 3rd Nissan truck and have loved 'em all.

Load carrying seems to be the same, it added a little over 2" of lift. So far so good, the front springs are really beefy, and speedbumps can be jarring. Others with this lift claim it will soften up over time.

Mostly day trips into the Cascades around here except for hunting season, when we are up there for 8 to 10 days. Two years ago, my huntin'/fishin' partner and our sweeties went on a 4 day backroad trip down the Cascades from Hwy 20 to almost the Cali border. Mostly logging roads with some knarly stuff for some sections. Really nice. I posted a pic in the "show your campsite" thread in the general section.

goneMoab is May 19-25 this year, I've never been to the rock country so I'm looking forward to this trip greatly. Checkout http://gonemoab.com for info.

Welcome, nice truck!

Welcome - it's great to see the NISMOs being built up. Looks like you removed the mud flaps when you added sliders?

I'll be in Moab that week, but it is only coincidental that the Nissans are there as well. My priorities are to be with about 25 friends at a mtn bike reunion of sorts, but I hope to meet a few of the Nissan owners who I've gotten to know on-line, and do a trail or two in the Pathy.

Can't believe I missed this question for 18 days. Yeah, I pulled the flaps for the sliders and in preparation for the 33" BFGs. Wow, Maine to Moab, thats a long haul, I'll keep a look out for that pathy of yours.
