    just bought a Xterra! Baseline/maintenance questions...

    i think 265/70-16 (~31in) is stock; 265/75-16 is about a 32in tire. the door sticker should tell you the OEM size; it will be in the door jam, and should also list GVWR, payload, tire pressures, VIN, etc. 86kmi is just breaking in a VG33E, but some people will tell you that you should not...

    queen sized sleeping pad?

    it would be awful hard to roll up and store a queen-sized ThermaRest type pad. i don't see why you can't just get a separate pad for each person?

    just bought a Xterra! Baseline/maintenance questions...

    another +1 for www.courtesyparts.com, but www.rockauto.com is also good, just be sure you know which brands to stay away from. if the Xterra ran its entire life on dino oil thus far, i would just stick with it. i especially wouldn't switch to synthetic on a high-mileage engine. my Pathfinder...

    Uni-ball vs Ball Joints

    $275 for an extended BJ sounds pretty steep. i'll just go to the massage parlor in front of my neighborhood for $100.

    What kind of rig to get?

    let's assume your truck gets 10mpg, and you replace it with a subaru that gets 20mpg. fuel averages at about $3.50/gal so let's assume a price freeze. the subaru will get you 2x the fuel economy, but at a loss of $6000 (investment in the Subaru). to simply break even in the "trade" you will need...

    Chevy/GMC 2500HD tie rod linkage on a 1500?

    "Drawn over mandrel" it's a type of high-strength steel tubing. there's also HREW (hot rolled electric welded) and REW (which is really CREW or cold rolled). DOM is typically the strongest, but some REW is stronger than some DOM. anyway, that's more hassle than you need. just get those HD...

    Chevy/GMC 2500HD tie rod linkage on a 1500?

    the parts dept. at a chevy dealership should be able to help you. don't get your hopes up that it will work though. if you had access to a welder, you could just slide some DOM over the outers and weld it up. IIRC, it's the outers that tend to bend.

    The kind of thing that would break a stock D60 is probably far out of reach of your van.

    Using shackles made in China?

    Chinese are more than capable of producing a quality component. They build these shackles to American spec from American engineers, just with cheaper labor and cheaper overhead. I have a set of 3/4in shackles (WLL 7T) that are made in China. I paid $40 for a set of 5 on eBay, and though they are...
