2011 CC LWB Frontier with Vagabond Drifter

[MountainRecipe]

Installed longer rear shocks, an aluminum fuel tank skid, aluminum engine skid and a shrockworks diff cover. Also rerouted a lot of the electrical to one corner in the camper and upgraded the mattress. I’m planning to knock quite a bit off the list this summer.
I’ve ordered new coilovers, 8020 storage and need to install the extended brake lines, some new lighting and snorkel.

It’s getting plenty of use! Just skied Mt. St. Helens this past weekend and it made a great basecamp to sleep in at the trailhead.

Got around to installing the extended brake lines, some offroad lights, 6 gang switch panel and my passenger side 8020 storage:

The summer has been off to a rainy start in WA but we’ve still been finding some good spots. This one by the river was perfect.
we also acquired some permits for the White Rim Trail later this year. Hoping to have 285’s by then!

Got to use the camper (Mt. Adam’s C2C, so slept at the trailhead) and do work on it in the same weekend. Installed some extended travel coilovers that pretty much max out the travel from the geometry. One day I will Titan swap but this should keep me happy for a while!

Finally gathered the strength to drill a 4" hole in the fender! This thing has been sitting in my garage for almost a year. Added a Snorkel Upgrade precleaner and we are all set!

How much does the snorkel block your view driving?

How much does the snorkel block your view driving?

Not at all really. I see the precleaner a little bit from the drivers seat but had I left the normal head on there, I probably wouldn't see it at all. The actual body of the snorkel is right behind the A pillar.

Where did you order those sweet skids from?

Where did you order those sweet skids from?

Hefty Fabworks (they often have 10% off)
And ASFIR 4x4 for the gas skid
I highly recommend the asfir due to the cost and quality. I probably would have gone all ASFIR but hefty is the only brand that makes a transfer case skid compatible for the long bed crew cabs

 

[hovenator]

Gotcha, did you order from ASFIR directly?

Gotcha, did you order from ASFIR directly?

Yup, shipped quite quickly. I think it took about 3 weeks to get delivered, which is faster than all my other skids and bumper were!

We've been getting out since the summer here in the NW just keeps on going. A trip to the Olympics and to the Cascades

got the Simarine Pico and heater installed. The pico has an inclinometer, battery monitor(s), temperature sensors, and tank levels. It is pretty slick. I just need to go through and configure everything.
