    The 255/85R16 Tire Official List

    Bump. Just rolled the dice on the DCEC in 255/85r16 on my Frontier. They fit really nice with my OME lift, no rubbing with no trimming melting anything (stock size for this truck is 265/75r16). FWIW the shipping weight on these was 49#. I've only driven them home from the tire store so far...

    New tire day, I went with ******** Cepek Extreme Country's in 255 85/16. Pretty pleased on the drive home from the tire shop, a lot smoother and quieter than the Kenda MT's they replaced. Can't wait to get them dirty.

    Looking good Bob, which pre filter is that? I've been thinking about switching to one of those because it gets really dusty here.

    Thanks, I know using gear from the homedopot is on the dont's list but this rack is working out really well for me. There isn't a basket I could find on the market that fits between our stock rack's side rails. I'm also really impressed with the uni/super strut hardware vibration resistance...

    Just got the truck out for the first real trip since putting in the OME suspension. I gotta say I'm really pleased with the performance so far but still want a little less low, I'm thinking some aftermarket UCA's and 1.5" lift spacers should do the trick. Well that stuff then some taller tires...

    Looking for input from the Nissan snorkel club

    Pretty much don't regret putting one on my truck. I couldn't see shelling out $400 for one though, got mine from Australian ebay for less than half of that. It's rotomolded LLDPE (not fiberglass) and is holding up great.

    Wow that's really clean, I dig the ubolts, I might have to try that. My quickfists are just bolted down in the channel, it's nice having them low with my setup because the shovel's handle lays flat on the rear cross bar keeping it from rotating.

    Did a couple of things to the truck to get ready for a little three day trip this weekend. First I was digging Wreckdriver's ram mount tablet holder and picked up one for my phablet (new phone wouldn't fit in old holder anyway). I'm really impressed with the quality of this stuff. Also made a...

    My hi lift is mounted using superstrut hardware, the utilitrack has the same inside dimensions as standard strut channel. These are awesome for mounting stuff in our truck beds.

    2011 Nissan Frontier Pro 4x Build

    LOL, I always feel the same when I go topperless. Just spitballing an idea (might have to do this myself), it probably wouldn't be too hard to get extensions welded on to the feet of the US rack that extend down and bolted to the utilitrack. That'd make for a really solid mount without putting...

    Also when you drill for the bolts keep them close to the inside edge of the bedrail as the softopper rails will rest against them. If the bolts are too far in the middle of the bedrail you'll have a hard time snapping down the softopper sides.

    I'll measure a little later today. The front one is all the way forward, on the rear of the bed the corner is boxed in and my most rearward feet are just in front of the boxed section. Yes, used a hacksaw to cut them down.

    Roger that. Sorry we flaked this year, got all wrapped up doing the house buying thing. CFW '17...maybe.

    Thanks man. I shortened the rack by trimming 2.5" off the top of the legs and drilled new holes for the bolts, this got the top of the US rack even with the factory side rails on the cab. I also narrowed the rack using 1.125" square stock as spacers on the racks feet. The rack is bolted to...

    Yeah I'm still kicking. It's been a slow winter for adventure truck stuff for me, got a couple of big group trips coming up though. Good news is nothing has broken on the truck since the trans issue.

    Took advantage of the unusually warm weather here and spent the weekend "overcamping" with the family. Set up basecamp at a nearly empty developed campground. Spent the weekend hiking. Apparently this outcropping is a big to do ;) Had a pretty awesome time on our little 30 hour adventure...
