My old gen1 Xterra has open diffs and while a locker was on the list, it was never a priority as my suspension setup did a great job keeping the wheels on the ground and she was insanely capable. I would of changed from 4.6 to 4.9 gears at the same time. My R51 was another story. Being IRS I...

Considering this is a DIY section, I don't think you'll find the answer you seek here...

On the way back I follow my buddy as per but noticed I was low on power and had a hard time on hills and passing and only got worse as we went. Stopping before we hit the pavement to air back up I looked at my unsealed airbox and peaked at the filter to see it had crushed it on itself. Following...

We arrived and made camp. I started to gather wood to make a fire to keep the bugs away while my buddy worked on taking out the food. We decided after a long day that the steaks would be tonight. We enjoyed our meal, made our camp and went to bed. Around 4am we would get woken up by the constant...

The winter went well, but stiff was done. The main Optima Yellow Top started to give me a hard time to start the truck when the cold hit. It was just 6 months out of warranty too. It never liked the V8 but it also came out of my Xterra and spent some time on a shelf, so unsure if that's the...

While they're known for great quality products, Calmini is also notorious for not delivering, or taking exceptionally long time, we're talking in *years*, and if you're missing pieces you may not get them.

TRE makes lockers for the R230 for 2.9/3.36 ratio diffs. I got a set of their E-Lockers installed into my V8 Pathfinder, which has an M205 and R230 diffs, but it comes with 2.9s I changed them out for 3.36 at the same time. I haven't used them too often yet as my issue is lacking armour, but so...

It`s ok. I was looking at giving the trailer some TLC this year, but I also have a friend who's working on a custom camper for his Pro4X and I might/should pickup his old bed. The one issue with that is that I would start from scratch with a new frame, have to source an axle (it would be a C200K...

Really? My YouTube channel got hacked and shut down a few years ago so all my old videos went with it. Where did you see it?

With the rear suspension issue, it was the kick in the butt I needed to get that sorted out. With new airlines on the way, I did have the other pieces of the puzzle around since spring. I had a Supreme Suspensions 3" spacer to replace the 2", and I got some midly used Mevotech HD springs that...

The RTT stayed on the truck for several weeks in case potential buyers wanted to take a proper look at it. The trailer would get some modifications to accomodate the new tent as the cover rested on the back of the changeroom arm with it's bolts poking into it. Not a good way to start. The...

Next step is back to the trailer, or more specifically, the RTT. The girlfriend had a rebate this year on items for outdoor activities, which included camping and tents, so this was a good opertunity to replace my aging tent from 2008. I've been hesitant on replacing it as I find the material...

The next day we had plans to meet up with the girlfriend's cousin at her 2nd cousin’s new cottage. Fred would follow me for a while. We followed the country roads to eventually stop at a Canadian Tire to get some parts in case the camping pot didn't hold. We then kept going but split once we got...

So it's been a while since I posted here, but I've sadly also had to change trucks. My Xterra's frame was badly rotten and I patched it up the best to could until find a replacement. The plan was another 2002-2004 Xterra but I couldn't find a clean (yellow manual) one, which only got worse...

I had dropped off the truck but the time it took to get them installed was longer then expected. I had an off-road outing with some local Nissan guys that would be the perfect time to test the lockers as it was stock friendly with challenging offshoots and would be the first real trail I'd hit...

The plans on that trip to join the sister-in-law had partially fell apart. The cottage in the pourvoirie, or outfitter, they were staying at basically gave us F-off prices for camping and fishing there if we weren't renting. What Fred knew is that our ZEC and their Outfitter shared the same...

Checking the tent it when I noticed that that mice had gotten in and eaten the rain fly. I did my best to clean up the smell of mice urine on the canvas and tried to patch up the fly with tarp tape and 3M glue, but that's the best I can do days before heading out. Now that all the major prep is...

So after all these updates will I get to work on the trailer? Yes, but one more thing. We have our annual fishing trip but it got mixed up with budget and participation issues. As the brother-in-law normally not only organizes it, but normally does two back to back, one with his girlfriend (the...

So how to 2024, which is already almost done. The truck got more mods, but the trailer finally got some love as well. I had recently discovered that switchback LED fog lights exist through a post in a Frontier group. I had immediately ordered a set. While I don’t like yellow fog lights I find...
