Truth. Was listening to it on our last trip out to the ski mountain and back. I like the bumper trim and fog light relocation. Based on the rest of the work you've done, I'm sure it'll turn out pretty good.

I have not had any knock sensor issues. I replaced it preventative when I did the supercharger install. FYI, it's not as simple as "getting one," haha. It's a lot of parts to switch, including most/all of the intake, main shaft pulley, AC compressor, ECU and many others. PM me if you're...

I hear ya, and I share the experience. I had, however, one necessary on-road maneuver in particular that nearly sent me into the wall on the highway when I was loaded up with the sway bar off. I guess that scared me just enough to convince me to put it back on and live with it. I'm running...

Hey man, honestly, didn't read every post in this thread. I read a lot of them though. You're going to be totally fine. I have steel bumpers front and rear, sliders, winch, camper, and always carrying tools, recovery gear, etc. in my 2000 Frontier. You can check out my build thread on here...

Hey man, nice Hardbody. I've been through all the mods you listed, but on my 2000 Frontier. I would prioritize the Grassroots link and steering upgrades. It's a major bummer bending the idler when you're far from any services... I did it bad enough one time that I couldn't steer the truck...

Thanks! I've got it about where I want it (the lie we all tell ourselves). SAS may come some day when cash/time permits... but it does pretty good as it is right now.

A few small things I got some more height adjustable feet from Sherpa Equipment Company for the cab rack. The topper rack already had the adjustable feet, but the previous mounts on the cab were a set height and I wanted to lower everything down as low as possible. With the adjustable feet, I...

New LED's So, I ordered some LED's from ExtremeLED in Denver. I've never really wanted to spend a ton of money on lights, because LED's have gotten so cheap,and even the cheap ones are pretty good. That said, I've had a set of RUN-D lights for 3 years and besides some paint fade, they're...

Been busy, this post is mostly about my other vehicles.... Well, working on switching jobs and moving across Denver is time consuming. I've gotten a few small projects done on the truck though and went through a bunch of maintenance items that have been needing my attention. I'm going to post...

...continued... Using bearing retainer, I staked the bronze bushings into the arms and ground them flat on the ends. I did this for both the pitman and idler arms. Bandit4x4 Bronze Idler Arm Bushings These were really simple. Pushed the old delrin bushings out and pressed the new bronze...

Thanks @jpat30 ! Here's the short install "write-up" I put on the Nissan forum. Shrockworks Bumper Install Not much to say about this... but I did the install this last weekend as well. Took me about an hour by myself, but I would recommend 2 people... it would be a lot easier than what I...

New Body Parts So, I've been wanting to do this for a long time. It's not necessarily a good investment for a 20 year-old trail truck, but the paint on the hood was really bugging me. The original tailgate was also starting to rust out around the handle and bottom edge. If you've been...

New Shoes (285/70-R17) Got the new tires on this week. One of my brothers works at Discount Tire in Oklahoma, so I went out to see my family and got a friends/family discount on a new set of tires. I went with the 285/70-R17 Goodyear Wrangler UltraTerrains. If you want to know my reasoning...

The fender flare came into Boulder Nissan today, so I went to pick it up and I installed it in the parking lot. Got the splash guard put back in as well. It's looking a lot better already, but I've still got a bit of re-shaping to do on the bed. Have a look. Additionally, I got my hands on...

The Damage Thanks to you guys who were encouraging about the damage. It isn't as bad as I initially thought... (Hopefully I didn't sound too dramatic before...). The axle, brakes, frame, and suspension are all fine. The tire only went flat because the other driver's tire broke the valve stem...

Well... That's not great. Got swiped on the bedside this evening while driving home. Truck is drive-able but the bed is probably not repairable. Insurance may want to total the truck out because the bed is 1 piece and replacing it may be more costly than the actual value of the value of the...

Recovery and other Gear I carry a lot of recovery gear in the topper. This picture is missing some items (rope, bungees, cam and ratchet straps), but you get the idea. So, where do I put it all? Well check it out! The RotoPax goes right behind the wheel well. I added a little 2x2 to the...

Hand Tools I Carry Alright, this is going to be quick, and mostly pictures. I am not going to make a detailed list of every tool I have in my truck. You can probably pick out most of the items from the pictures. So, for hand tools, I have these. Mostly pretty standard stuff. My ratchet and...

Installing the Springs I removed the old springs and yeah, the bonded rubber eyelets were in bad shape. One of the eyelets literally fell out when I dropped the spring out of the frame. The other one was close... They gave out pretty suddenly a few months ago and they've been clunking...
