    Shackle through the hitch for recovery?

    Recoveries are dynamic, and the forces generated during them are truly amazing, There has never been a product (reciever or strap)that came out of harbor freight that I would use.The reciever shackle shown above is well and good for an ATV, but in no way up to a couple of tones, yanking on a...

    2002 nissan xterra questions

    First off, there is nothing called an expo bumper. I would rock that thing as is untill the wheels fell off. With the tube work up front it is already taking a bunch of weight off of the front end, which is a very good thing. The sliders are also a very good choice and something that I would...

    2002 nissan xterra questions

    I just got mine the way that I want it,,,, well almost the way way that I want it. The fact that it just does everything that I ask it to do without any complaint. And it is more like an old pair of jeans, than a pair of anything else, dependable, comfortable, not scared to work in them,,,

    720 DATSUN

    before I would do anything, crawl around under it with a BFH, and start smacking the frame. If it goes through it might not be the best platform to start with. If you were in AZ. UT. or anywhere in the south west it would be a fair bet. But midwest salt can have a lightening effect on all of the...

    Fontier v. Xterra ? (2002-2004 Gens)

    From the B pillar forward they are the same. I tend to use trailers for everything, one for camping and offroad, and one for running around town to get stuff. The one for around town is big enough to fit sheet goods in, and I can leave stuff in it as I am working, The camping one is great for...

    Ideas on switching camping styles with the kids

    With my wife and kids it is the little things that make it easier, like two tents. One big one that we all sleep in, and a small two person that all of the clothes and crap go. When you change clothes you go to the little one instead of tripping over someone while getting dressed. As far as...

    Best Eating Game Animal

    Elk and pheasant first and formost, followed quickley by Kudu and Spring Buck, and Eland. Hippo I would put a little farther down the list, had the texture of veal but was really salty. But for me it all comes down to whare you are, what is fresh locally, who is making it, and how hungry you are.

    Removing Anti-theft lug nuts.

    Instead of welding on a nut, you can always put enough of a weld bead on one side that you can use a larger socket without having to drive anything on the lug.

    spare tire carriers on a rig towing an expedition camper/trailer

    I ocassionally run a 12 inch extension on the bumper, while it does reduce the total capasity of the hitch it is still well above what it needs to be. With it in I could open the tire carrier with any trailer that I tow, all that it really does is extends the pivot point a foot further back...

    drbandkgb "stan" build

    The Nismo cat back is the way to go, much heavier than the OEM, easy to install, good sound lower backpressure. All of the things that you want in an exhaust. If you can swing it do set of thorleys, and the nismo cat back at the same time, I would recomend getting CEL eliminators but that is up...
