Nice setup. I am thinking of switching from my Xterra to ZR2 diesel, however my brother had one in 2018 and it was a nightmare, kept breaking down on him leaving him stranded. Glad to see that maybe his was a lemon and not a common thing.
Switching from the Xterra because of a lack of storage...
I was also able to find a Yukon Grizzly rear locker on a buy and sell for $100. I snatched that up and threw it in.
So now Ron is twin locked with no switches. Both seem to working really well. I did get some snow wheeling in with both auto lockers. In the snow selectable would be ideal in some...
Having run the 6100’s for a bit I am very happy with them. A friend who also put them on his rig isn’t as happy as he was with 1st gen Tundra 5100’s. The Tundra shocks have .5” more travel. For me the any more extension and the CV’s start to get resistance, so I think this is the better setup?
I...
Is anyone able to find the extended collapsed length of Y62 Patrol shocks? I have always wanted a set of BP51’s for my Titan Swap and those might be an option.
Ron has been sitting in the garage the last couple of weeks. Chipping away at the list as time permits. I installed the Lokka myself this time. I payed a shop to install the one I had in my Frontier. It felt very rewarding to take the front diff apart and sand down shims to get everything within...
Fun read thanks for the info. I had no idea Nissan changed the frame on these in 08-12. I always thought the Xterra, Frontier and Pathfinder shared the same frame at the front. No I am wondering if Nissan changed the frames in the Xterra and Frontier as well, or if the changed frame makes the...
Last weekend was a big one for parts accumulation for Ron the Burgundy, and while driving to get some of the parts, I ran into my old Frontier, it was a good looking rig. :)
1st off, picked up some Rocky-Road sliders from an Auto-recycler, they came off a rolled Xterra. Going to need some TLC...
As much as I loved both the Frontier and the Jeep, what I really wanted was a combination of the two. During my time with the Frontier, I really did not enjoy the Automatic transmission, and the ABS brakes when trying to stop on Ice and Snow. With the Jeep I loved the manual transmission, the...
Meet Ron the Burgundy
This is pretty close to how Ron is right now, I will try to keep this photo updated.
Now a little back story before the build starts. Before Ron, I had a 2015 Frontier Pro4x. It started with full Oldman Emu suspension, and ended as a full Titan swapped and armoured...
Interesting about the weight. Doing a little more digging I found that they (Yucca Pac) have a dry weight of 370 pounds on the website. Back when I was going to order a Drifter I was told by Vagabond the weight was 450-500 pounds. Sounds like they have shed some serious weight since going into...
