So far so good, I guess time will tell but it's a better design all around for reducing/eliminating squeaks. Good customer service too and nice to see another manufacturer support the nissan crowd.

Another update, I’ve finally bit the bullet after my bushings wore out in the leaf springs and simply bought some new leafs. I went with Alldogs Offroad Broverland leafs because they have the only eyelet setup with bushings that aren’t polyurethane and looked stout with the right weight and...

Thing looks beastly. Love these rigs. How was fuel mileage on your trip? And have you towed with it yet? I'm sure it's a great tow vehicle but curious on gas mileage while towing.

I think for you a good set of lighter duty springs (maybe you don't have a bumper?) or a set of coilovers would be the ticket. Simple swap in swap out and you've already got the SPC arms which help with droop/travel to clear the coil bucket. The Titan swap (while awesome) is significantly more...

Fantastic work! Loving these builds and I swear I'll own one in the future.

It might be worth a shot, but I haven't found a fool proof way to fully silence them. It's a shame because I really do like how they ride, but it sounds like I'm driving a sherman tank down the road sometimes.

I agree, I think I haven't driven far enough to get this transmission up to temperature and haven't pulled any major hills yet. I think transmission fluid is supposed to be at optimal temps around 175 so I'm going to try and go for a longer drive soon enough to get a better idea of what temp...

Thanks for the comment. The extra cooler will help but if you are bypassed I’d still recommend a temp gauge, either analog or OBD. I’m using a Bully Dog Tuner to monitor trans and coolant temps. Dead easy to install. Also I should have clarified, these are transmission temperatures. Coolant is...

I’ve been running my truck with a bypassed transmission cooler out of fear of the dreaded SMOD since day one with an extra B&M cooler, aux fan and temp gauge. This setup has worked well but with the truck aging and me not wanting to worry about family and friends driving the truck and forgetting...

Thanks for the comment! I'm in favor of anyone getting a moto, they are too much fun. When/if you get into one I'd say try and incorporate a hitch carrier setup on the LC so you can take it camping with you. Might mean a smaller/lighter bike like a WR250/XR250 to wrestle it up on the hitch...

It has been a busy year and I’ve welcomed an new member into our family! While off-roading has been a little light this year I’ve been preoccupied with more ADV rides when I can get a chance. Proof I’m still playing in the dirt ;) Obligitory stuck photo. Not fun riding in snow I've...

Cross posted from TNX: I have been dealing with a vibration and worn leaf spring bushings on my OME HD leaf packs. I may need to write a separate how to post for this because I was truly shocked at what a difference these upgrades made. Got the idea from a few members on here but Glamisdude was...

I've done multiple renditions of suspension and driveline setups on my truck and while I love my titan swap, it would be overkill for your application. The best budget setup I had at one point was OME MD leaves with PRG extended shackles and 1.5" spacers on OME coilovers and SPC UCA's similar to...

I was wondering when I'd next see your build thread. Solid start and sorry to see the rust problem unfolding. If its mechanically sound I'd probably be inclined to say run with it, especially in the current market climate. But if you cleaned it up you would certainly make money on it if you...

Holy rear camber batman! Kidding and I'm sure you'll get it sorted soon. The truck looks awesome though. This is exactly how i'd set mine up if I went this route. With 35's this thing looks perfect.

I'm glad this was started and I hope to see more interest in the 17+ Armada/Y62 patrol here in the states. I don't own one yet, but i'll contribute what I know thus far in my research. Might have to start making bumpers, skids and sliders for these if this becomes a popular platform! Check out...

Sad to see her go, but glad to see it’ll still get used right. Curious what the next project is going to be? Any teasers?

Ah man... So sorry to hear about the rear pinion failing. That really sucks and puts damper on an otherwise beautiful trip. Hope Lola get's fixed up and out on the road. Is the rear the 3.36 standard m226 gears? I'm guessing you have the old style 2 spider rear end still which may be why it...

Dude, sweet bike AND rigs. Liking your 460 build. keep it up!

I think you of all people seem to wheel the piss out of your rig which is awesome! I do have a few questions for you. How have the leaf springs fared any squeaks and such or have they held up well? Also, how much width did you gain up front, and did you do anything out back to match the width or...
