********....can i buy you a beer? FWIW i dropped from 35x12.5 16.5s to 285/75 17s and have been very happy. i havnt been wheeling the truck hard enough to miss the ground clearance. the truck drives nice and tight. i will probable go back to 315s next time.

2 year trip to Argentina in an excursion? more details please!

ditto what exactly is that big satellite thingy on the roof and how does it work?

swap in a 4BT cummins, then we will talk xterra in the full size forum :ylsmoke:

wow! thats beautiful do you have any specs yet? weight? approx power? MPG?

geeky! looks great! what has been doen to the drive train in 283k miles(wow!) rebuilt trans? axles?

that looks great. those are some cool looking gauges. no white face or ricer look. very clean. :coffeedrink:

Is there a reason you don't want to build a console? Mine didn't hack the dash, and it's completely removable. I just got back from a 2400 mile trip in baja, and it is by far the most practical thing I have done to my truck. Your fab skills are better than mine, I have no doubt you could build...

The entire console is mounted via the 2 front center seat bolts. Turned out very sturdy I have kinda been looking at suncoast and goerend, but I don't have the money to tackle the trans yet. I just got back from 2400 miles in baja last week. I havnt had time to post pics, I will though.

headed to Ensenada tomorrow at 7am. didnt have time to paint the shell -put on a new Rancho steering stabalizer -removed the front sway bar

made some progress. -finished wiring up the HIDs -mounted and wired up an amber LED on the rear bumper for visibility in dust -finished the bed platform -mounted the camper shell -my dad wired up 2 lights in the camper shell, one is a 36 LED 1.5" square -he also wired up a 12v cigaret lighter...

I think the pre2002 were very similar to the ranger. In 02 I think they got the independent rear suspension which will be more complicated to lift. If you have good friends with fab skills, then that's a good start. Also, compared with a mini can, I would be stoked on the mountaineer. Slap...

How did you arrive at a mountaineer? I don't think there is much aftermarket for those. Did your wife fall in love with it? If you plan a mild build, I would look real hard at some other vehicles in the same price range. 99-03 jeep grand Cherokee. Late 90s 4runner ect. The WJ grand cherokees...

thats a bitchen truck! you fixed the only part i dont like about those trucks, the IFS

pulled the TC off last weekend. bought a $400 used camper shell. My dad and I are headed to Baja on tuesday for the Baja1000 to chase/co-drive for a 5unlimited car. My dad and i started on a bed/storage platform, i had it different in my mind, more complicated and expensive. this is his plan...

2 weekends ago, we loaded up our 1969 Open Road camper and spent 4 days in the Eastern Sierra, camped along LeeVining creek. here is a better shot of the truck and bumper

i got a cool "push on, push off" button from a military surplus store. it turns on an LED license plate light pointed at my wifes feet. the panel does not go all the way to the floor, and there is no panel on the drivers side, so i can easily reach the transfer case, and i can reach all the...

the 94-97 rams had the cup holders mounted high, above the radio. it was awkward and was a blind spot when you stuck a big-gulp up there, and mine were broken when i got the truck. i needed something better, and a place for radios and switches ect. i had this console in my mind, i wasnt sure...

here is the mounting area with the center section removed and the new Rigid Industries Dually light
