    Where did you get the coil pack wiring adapters? Im going to look at the coil packs on my VK56VD and see if they are the same as the VK56DE.

    I need extended rear bumpstops. Also, I hate the rear air suspension. When it loses air it's a pain in the ass to get it to fill back up. I don't know when the computer determines it's time to increase the ride height, it seems to have a mind of its own. Matt and David from DASH off-road told...

    Went back to Yosemite last weekend with WCORA, was fun. Found this trailer and many people took turns using it as an RTI. People didn't think the Infiniti would make it as far as the 4 Runner and the FJ Cruiser but it did. If I didnt still have stock rear shocks it would have made it much further.

    This is awesome. How do the R8 coils fit? They appear too long.

    The road-feel on the front end with the Kings is substantially improved over factory. The floaty feeling in the front end is eliminated. I also notice improved dampening in regards to tire judder so i think they are doing a good job at controlling such a heavy tire. I have noticed though that I...

    Kings installed in the front, with measurements. 3" more droop than with factory coilovers, but you can notice that without notching the coil bucket it would have only been 2" with these UCA's. Factory coilover: Factory coilover+ 2" Lift spacer: No coilover (max droop that can be...

    This is correct, even the rear diff is different (and weaker, smaller ring gear, less splines, etc) than on the Patrol. I dont know how the traction control works from first hand experience because as soon as I encounter wheel spin, I back up and either try different route or bump it, so...

    I ordered these King front coilovers today through my friend Tyler Buras at Fat Bobs Garage. He is a Nissan enthusiast and is very familiar with the F-Alpha platform. Also Fat Bobs Garage is a long time sponsor and supporter of GONE Moab. I ordered with the adjusters because I have removed the...

    Took a trip with my best friend to Sequoia National Forest, Sequoia National Park and Kings Canyon National Forest. Good trip, we took some Jeep Trails in Kings Canyon, they were rated as "Extreme" but we had zero issues.

    I would go 4.56's... Buy Once Cry Once lol. You wont notice a difference in gas mileage with 35's but you will notice the better crawl ratio in low gear. besides, if you ever upgrade to 37's in the future (never say never) you will already have 4.56's. I think its a really good idea you are...

    That's a good idea, you can take them off and use them around camp too. Or stick them to hood if you need to work in the engine bay. Good idea.

    I just found out today a good friend of mine got a job at Fat Bobs Garage, so I will order through him on July 8th. I am also debating Kings.... :unsure::unsure::unsure: I have owned Radflos before, and I loved them. But now I may try Kings instead.

    I know people have good experiences with PRG, and infact I had a good experience with him before with other parts. I know his is very knowledgable and has a passion for not only offroading but also the tiny Nissan community. On the other hand, I believe there are things that can be done to...

    PRG has better prices on Radflo than ordering directly through Radflo. Also Greg has a special valve stack for the Radflos that reportedly is pretty good. I don't want to go into too much detail, but the reason why the shocks took so long is because PRG never placed the order to Radflo. When I...

    I ordered the Radflo Coilovers and Shocks from PRG products in April. I spoke with Greg from PRG on the phone multiple times before ordering so that he could make sure I was ordering the correct for my needs. Greg is a great person to talk to and very knowledgeable, he also seems very...

    Fantastic! I cant wait to get to CO again. Last time I went I was only able to do Elwood pass because of the snow in other areas.
