That OBS build sounds killer ... can't wait to see it come together. Better busy than not, I think ... we can be patient for the NV project. I think, anyway ... ;)

Bummer to hear it's stalled ... but I absolutely get the busy thing!! I was just commenting this morning to a buddy that shared a photo of V4, that I can't wait to see what you do with the NV ... and to see if Nissan makes the new Cummins an official option; I know you've said you were pretty...

Those burl handles sure do shine up nice. dustin_mud, are those two dyed wood or stone of some kind? I like the blade profile on those as well, simple and elegant.

Damn fine knife ... wow.

I've gotta say, I love what you've done with this truck ... the camper's looking pretty great, too, but I don't have a particular need/use for it (unfortunately?) I'm not sure it'd really be in my price range, even if you were willing to split the two, but the want is strong (for the truck)...

They've just come out, and are only just now starting to trickle into dealers ... I doubt there's anyone yet here who's got one, let alone any significant time in one to talk specifics of long-term use. I like the looks of the new Titan XD, and especially of the new 5L Cummins; and I *really*...

Good stuff ... thanks, sir! Looks about where I'd head, with some good additions I always seem to leave out when I pull it together in my head (side cutters, pick, deep sockets) ... I don't see a 32mm socket (for the front axle nut), do you figure on using channel locks or an adjustable wrench...

Oh sure ... as if I needed another thread to follow. Sheesh ... and a good one, at that, by the looks of things. Oh, and thanks for the reminder (yet again, since I've been following the Willy's and Dodge threads for a bit, now) that I need to get cracking on a few of the ideas rattling around...

Nice work on the drawer ... truly. Sounds like it'll be a welcome addition for packing and organization. Is it lockable? Seems like it could also be a good storage spot for other items ... say fishing poles, or other long and skinny items you might want away from prying eyes and sticky...

I was thinking the same thing yesterday, when I saw this post ... particularly, that the blade on that knife (post #495) might look pretty nice on the knife in post #488.

Link? x2!!!!! ... and this, all of it.

Who says a leaf spring setup can't flex ... cool picture!

Still love that rear bumper ... and there's just something about a truck with a canvas topper. Great stuff. Now, if only the DCSB Frontier had 1-2" more of rear seat legroom ...

That's a fantastic looking knife, as is the one prior.

I'd also ask what XJLI means by "offroad system" ... that's a pretty broad brush. FWIW, I've actually been very impressed by Nissan's traction aids ... I don't have much to compare it to, save Nissan's traction aids from a few years prior (comparing an '08 Xterra to an '04 R50 Pathfinder); and...

That's crazy about the NV being sold out from under you ... bum deal. Every time I see your shots of V4 out in the wild (the recovery video was great) it always leaves an impression, that thing is nuts (in the best way).

What about the NV stuff, anything new on that front?

Good stuff! Glad it was something so (relatively) simple ... and I'll pile on, with the comments about finding a great mechanic and all that ... customer service win, there! See, that's what I like to hear ... even with the "Phew!" on the fix, still new parts coming. Whattaguy!

No sweat ... I know the feeling about attacks of stupid ... happens to me all the time! I agree, it'll probably be the least headache to just do the stock e-locker replacement ... cost-wise (for the locker), it may not be significantly more to get the parts for an ARB, though. If you had...

If it needs spiders, you're not stuck getting a whole new axle ... you can sometimes find the guts from folks who went ARB (check NewX or ClubFrontier, even TitanTalk or ClubTitan if you're looking for the m226 - which I think I remember that you have), that'd probably be your cheapest option...
