    Rhino platform on NON rhino cross bars?

    The rhino mesh platform I saw online just used u-bolts, so should attach to any bar.

    Advice: MAX Wheel/Tire Weight

    The differential internals will be under some serious strain with 1000lbs of wheel & Tire under there. I know those trucks are built tough, but that's a serious amount of mass.

    Eezi-Awn Stealth hard shell RTT

    That tent is sweet, but that is one classy & clean land cruiser wearing it!

    "Lola" - WreckDiver1321's 2005 Frontier CC/SB Nismo Build and Adventure Thread

    300k is a great goal & wishing you best of luck! I'm almost to 85k & just switched to synthetic oil, got 1 MPG back...

    2017 4runner v 2017 Landcruiser

    $47k is quite a premium when you get down to the numbers...Not much difference otherwise.

    Which off-road vehicle?

    With regard to the lokka I think they probably have a model for either axle, but I was referring to rear. I havent priced them but without the electrical & air you may be able to lock both axles for the same cost as a single air powered ARB. There are plenty of heavily modified xterra out there...

    Which off-road vehicle?

    Build the xterra. Lokka is totally automatic & not too pricey. No need for electronic or air expenses either. A locked xterra on decent tires will go just about anywhere plus you already own it

    Yokohama geolandar G015 or Coopers?

    Ya know I'm not sure, probably the E version, it's an LT, not P rated. 265/75/16 & definitely lost 1mpg maybe 2. My truck is a frontier so my mileage kinda sucked to begin with. I've had Falken Bridgestone firestone bfg pathfinder etc but I'm a Yokohama guy these days. The at/s is just the...

    Mercedes G Wagen Fail On Snow Covered Road

    That does look intentional, lots of acceleration followed by a stab of brakes on snow/ice? In real world accident scenario I would expect over rotation and a right side impact, not an understeer event where the front washes out & the far wall gets hit. How you say "insurance fraud" in Russian? Ha!

    Better mileage...better performance?

    Tire weight can easily drop a few MPG. A decent air filter & a more open muffler might give you a slight improvement but it isn't a cheap way to do it. A fuel system service could give back a mile or 2 per gallon but if you live in the Rockies, that crappie gas is going to negate most of your...

    Great value, reliability, and now the slowest depreciating car in the U.S.

    Hard to believe the Frontier beat the Tacoma & tundra, but I'll take it!

    "Lola" - WreckDiver1321's 2005 Frontier CC/SB Nismo Build and Adventure Thread

    How many years/miles of 4hi did you put on it before it finally gave out? I only spend about 20% of my time in snow country & about half of that in 4hi. Never 4lo. Just curious how long I should keep that stock front diff before worrying about it

    Roofbag.com--Anybody use one?

    This thing worked like a champ. Collected plenty of bug guts & cost me a mpgs but it's now in permanent use. Love it

    Yokohama geolandar G015 or Coopers?

    With the sheer weight of a duramax up front, I can imagine those KO2 were not long for this world! I'm no tire expert, but it seems to me a transforce AT or other commercial level tire would be the only way to see a real improvement in durability.

    Yokohama geolandar G015 or Coopers?

    LOVE my Yokohamas. Not the sexiest tire out there, but reliable as a hammer in every condition I've put it through.

    Frontier headlight lamp replacement--Terrible Design

    I couldn't get the old ones out to save my life, much less get the new ones in. I've changed plenty of lamps over the years in previous vehicles & about 100 concert stages all over the world, but this truck had me stumped. The shop up the street had no problem of course, in & out so fast they...

    Frontier headlight lamp replacement--Terrible Design

    What kinda @$$h0le makes a headlight design like that?! You can't get a hand in there, much less do it without breaking some glass. And that ridiculous plastic ring is the terrible. What if you had to change a lamp on the road--You'd be SOL, that's what. Now I have to take this up to an...

    Calmini Suspension & Bumpers

    Well that is good to know! I would not be a happy camper if I dropped a load of cash on bumpers & steps then had to wait months... I assumed they were a large scale operation but they sound more like 2 dudes in a garage at this point. I don't see this stuff as needing to be "custom" in any way...

    '08 200 series, 180k--What should I pay?

    Thanks all. This thing has never been off-road, no mods, even gets stock Michelin LTXs from the dealership! Who does that? Basically 99% factory condition.
