    Will the Honda/Nissan Possible Merger Save the Frontier and/or Titan?

    The Highly Anticipated Merger Between Nissan and Honda Looks to Be coming Apart

    Honda sales are off pretty good in the USA and globally in 2024 about -15% from 2023, I don't really understand how Nissan (-4% from 2023) could help that.

    The Highly Anticipated Merger Between Nissan and Honda Looks to Be coming Apart

    I think that it would have only worked if Mitsubishi was in on the deal, and they bailed out a couple weeks ago. It is going to be bad for Nissan.

    Gen 3 suspension: Koni vs Bilstien

    I ran both KYB and Bilstiens over the years on my old '05. I would not run KYBs again. Michael & Chris are correct about the springs, replace those too, even with new stock is going to be better than 20 year old ones. I have heard good things about Konis - but have no first hand experience...

    Camper Door

    I built my own door for my square drop, took a couple generations to get it right. If I build another camper, I think I'd buy a door. My time is still expensive.

    Tankless water heater to heat air?

    Thoughts on what? It could work, you would need to "engineer" a system. Generally my house runs like this. Instant hot water heater to pump(s) to radiant in-floor tubes (basically a heat exchanger) controlled by a thermostat(s).
