We at times travel with a pistol, I consider it just another tool in my toolbox. You will never see me carrying it while on the trail or hanging around camp with friends though - its always securely out of sight. I dont feel the need to broadcast its presence. Based on my experience I believe...

Have you ever ridden a motorcycle across difficult terrain? The same physics apply. Certainly you wouldnt suggest that dual sport bikes dont belong in the back country. And, you probably understand that riding a moto across sand or rough terrain requires momentum and the right line - so you'd...

Huh? I've done mine on my xterra a bunch of times on both sides without issue. Maybe there is a little less room in a Frontier but I dont think so?

How about your winch housing - which could see in excess of 20k lbs of force (10k winch rigged through a snatch block stalled out) - being cast aluminum and held on by just 4 grade 5 3/8 bolts? No one ever worries about those parts.

Trade value on a 2007 LR3 is going to be pretty horrible.

The thing is, that Duramax 2.8 is running a crazy advanced injection setup. It's unknown how basic/advanced the Cummins 2.8 is. Think modern EFI versus TBI.

I like the 14 inch cold saws a lot but I wish they made a larger miter saw version. The 10 inch will only cut 1.5" thick on the 45. I'd need at least 2".

Do not buy the Calmini Xterra bumper. One of the biggest mistakes I've made. It looks nice but is flimsy garbage.

I think its funny, that the forum which obsesses over "campsite perimeter security" and safety is generally a guiding principle, would ridicule the idea of a dust light simply to allow you to be seen by other vehicles. It ahs nothing to do with you driving in someone elses dust cloud, that is...

If you need a hoist to lift it off, how is a thief going to take it off and where is he going to put it?

Hence the reason for a dust light as originally posted. A dust light is basically a tinted rear facing spot light. Think 100W, not 3W tail lights.

I dont understand the mentality where you wouldnt *want* to let someone traveling at a more advanced pace pass. Its common effing courtesy in everything from driving on the highway to playing golf. If someone catches up to you, move over. This also applies to "overlanding" in the desert or...

He has not been selling those for at least 5 years.

oops - my memory is faulty then.

It does, the alternator feeds RPM to both the tach and to the ECU

You need to get that tach fixed also. The ECU relies on the same signal for RPM. I went through this like 15 years ago with a 13CU and it would run ok on start up and for the first few minutes until the engine switched from open to closed loop and then it all went to hell.

Is the KAM drop in still available? There was good press on it when it came out, but its not on their website anymore and cant find much mention of it anywhere.

What happened to the 17s?

You're still talking about 25 year old gearboxes. Price out something new - 6 speed. I can get a rebuilt TH350 from any number of reputable sources for under $700, which has about as much correlation to a new truck with an automatic as your example does.
