    Tire losing air in an odd way?

    I haven't had a chance to look yet...The weather around me has been either in the single digits or snowing for the last week or two...I'm waiting for a warm day to go check it. I just found the rebuild kits your talking about, I'm about 90% sure that is the problem. Once the weather warms up a...

    QX56/80 High Mileage an Issue for Purchase???

    You should join up over at clubarmada as well...From what I remember reading over there, there is a TCM update that will fix the flutter issue. It seems to be a common problem on the second gens, and it is resolved with a computer update. I've got a first gen QX56 (based off the titan, not the...

    I need help figuring out wheel & tire fitment

    From what I can find on different forums and such is that the stock offset is 25mm. I've seen a few sites say that the backspace was 5.5, but that is for a different trim with 17" or 18" wheels...I would think though it would still be the same, with the 20" wheel though.

    I need help figuring out wheel & tire fitment

    Hi all, I need some help figuring out what I need for proper fitment of my next set of wheels and tires. The vehicle is a 2010 Infiniti QX56. It came from the factory with 275/60R20, and big heavy chrome 20x8" wheels (that I have been unable to find definite specs on). I'm planning on doing...

    Livin' Lite Quicksilver series, feedback welcome

    So I have a question for those of you in this thread that have owned one of these...How much would the Air Conditioner be in the way for off highway travel. I'm not talking rock crawling and the like, but light off-roading/forest service roads/ Etc.? It looks to stick out past anything else on...

    Tire losing air in an odd way?

    Measuring with an old fashion stick gauge, with my air compressors digital readout, and with the TPMS system I think that is the next step. I've replaced the valve core twice already, and it is definitely losing air...Like others have said it sounds like the valve body itself may be bad.

    Tire losing air in an odd way?

    I need some help figuring out what is going on with my tire. A couple of weeks ago It started constantly losing air, but in some very odd ways. I fill it up to 40psi (a normal pressure for the tires), and within a day it is down to 30psi, then it only loses about 2psi every day after. For the...

    Quest for the Perfect Family Tent

    If you can spend a little time on the Australian eBay, you could pick up one of Coleman's Gold series instant up tents. Coleman's Gold series for Australia is a completely different level of quality then what is available here in the U.S. For a small family (same as me) their instant up dark...

    Question about Ram HD

    Every since AEV first started showing concepts of their prospector/XL, I've been dreaming about getting one. The other day I was reading the recent "top 10 used overland vehicles" Here on Expedition Portal, and it said that the 2010-2012 Ram 2500/3500 was a top pick. Where I have a question is...

    How many of you run tire "slime" in your tires all the time?

    I'm not sure, I worked as a tech in a past life, and I took off plenty of tires, that someone had put slime into many miles before and it was still very liquid inside...which is one of the reasons I don't like using it, because whoever changes the tire usually gets covered in the stuff. There...

    How many of you run tire "slime" in your tires all the time?

    I have two tires on my truck that have slow leaks, and I planning on putting tire slime in them to seal the leaks. I typically avoid the stuff, as it makes changing a tire a messy ordeal. However, I also don't feel like pulling the tires apart, and grinding the rims, and re-balancing...etc...

    How close in Spec do dual batteries need to be?

    I've been thinking about adding a dual battery system to my truck, but I'm curious how much difference there can be between batteries. The primary battery for my truck is this: odyssey 27F a 27f battery that has 930 CCA, and a 88 AH capacity. I also have a battery from a car I have in long...

    Help me decide

    Personally, I would go Ram...The Jeep just seems far overpriced for what you are getting. The Ram gives you more space, more payload, and a locker for $10K less than the jeep. With ARBs announcement of their new product line for the 1500, that $10k can buy you a lot added off road capability.

    Livin' Lite Quicksilver series, feedback welcome

    I just found these campers, and I think it is the perfect solution for my family. From what I can tell though they are out of business. Does anyone know if they are still going, or if there is a good place to learn about them, and figure out even what the options for these were, so I can keep...

    Galley and sleeping platform system

    Yea, that might be a little far for a visit. I would be interested to know more about the details of how you built it all. I'm trying to design an easily removable set of drawers for my truck, and your aluminum frame seems like a great way to do it.

    I'm in New Hampshire. The first time through your thread, I can to the conclusion that you were in Europe. However, a second time through I'm not sure where you are.
