Good, hasn't settled at all, a little squeaky but lithium grease quieted it down.

Got my Diode Dynamics SS3 Pro SAE/DOT white driving lights installed. Also got the switches/wiring done for my Baja Designs Squadron-R Sport Amber wide cornering lights. Also hooked up my heated mirrors to my unused for the moment sasquatch lights switch. Switches blend in nice with the factory...

Got word that from OVRLND that they started the camper build last week. Picking it up the 1st week of May. Literally counting the days now. I ended up with a no windows build to save weight, wasn't convinced I could see very well out of them for backing up anyway and I don't plan on spending...

Yeah, I'm currently leaning towards a Shrockworks bumper/Rigd swingout or Coastal Offroad rear bumper with swingout, depending on if I want to get my spare tire up out of the way to make room for a water tank. Going to be a bit before I do a rear bumper, probably do camper, headlights, camper...

Gotta love "winter" adventures.

Here are a couple of month old photos from a "winter" adventure, usually I'd be stopped by deep snow on this road at 2000' elevation by December, Feb 1st I was able to get up to 5000' before encountering some 4' drifts that stopped me. Shows what the mirrors look like pretty well. So far I like...

Looks like a winner to me, want to see what a non pro-4x model looks like. Lots of good standard upgrades to make it competitive. Hopefully they increased the payload a bit to handle all those additions.

No, but I am running the Mevotech(SPC duplicate) UCA which has extra clearance and 5100s have internal bumpstops so they don't allow enough droop to make these hit.

I swear I made a post covering this stuff last week... But:unsure: Picked up some Trail Ridge Tow mirrors, w/Power and Heat. NIB craigslist find. My truck didn't come with heat, so the plugs didn't fit. So I put the stock plugs on them and wired in two extra wires for heat. Haven't decided...

Looks like a great build. Long Range America has a 38gallon fuel tank for the Frontier. Once I have my Ovrlnd camper and see how bad my mileage is hit I might get one. Right now a single 5gal gas can should be enough for USA and Canada(250mi+), but I kinda doubt it with the camper. If I get a...

I'm looking at two headunits that offer 4 camera support. Wish there were better(1080P or better refresh rate) cameras available, and headunits with higher resolution too. There are a couple cameras out there, but they're 20x the cost of standard backup cameras and barely better than the 480p or...

I hear ya, I think the barn door windows with the blocked center won't be super useful. The hatch window wouldn't be bad. I'll probably mock it up in cardboard and see what it looks like from the drivers seat. I can always add windows later myself too if I want more light.

Switch panel is going slowly with this cold weather. I may just have to paint it inside or leave it unpainted. I know if I install it unpainted I'll never get around to uninstalling it to paint it. Haven't gotten around to installing the alternator sense wire for my charger either. With the...

I just put down my deposit for an ORVLND, going with full height barn doors for the sealing, weight savings, and ease of closing while inside. Always hated the awkwardness of closing a hatch while inside my old topper, I can't image trying to close a full height hatch. Ovrlnd did offset full...

Fridge and charger are working pretty well, 30-60min of driving should be able to keep it charged in moderate weather, but I think it can do better. Going to install the voltage sense line for "smart alternators" and see if it'll pull the full 50A more often. It won't pull voltage below 13.1v at...

Got the 60% rear seat delete built and installed. Installed the inverter, battery, charger, and fridge. Didn't bother to paint or carpet it since it's all coming out in a year or so when I get a camper. Used the seat bolts and seatbelt bolts to bolt it down, then two turnbuckles holding it down...

Got a few more things installed or partly installed. Took it for a test drive to figure out rough dirt road tire pressures. Liking 30psi, 25psi was cushy and ate up washboards, but on faster corners it seemed a bit too squirmy. Running 40psi on road, will likely bump that up when I get it loaded...

Everyone considering putting LT tires on a vehicle with P metric tires should read the "Load & Inflation Table Application Guide" from Toyo, Pg11 bit in red quoted below for the TL;DR. Especially pertinent to those running at GVWR who need the full load capacity of their tires. WARNING! Please...

Added about +3" compared to stock springs. So an inch more rake than it had stock with this load, 200# just a bit back from center. About 2" of rake. Hope to be at level with a 350# pop-up on it.
