Macland's '10 Camping Rig! The Mac - Going Places

[OKXterra]

That's cool, and yeah, anytime. If we have some late winter rain this year, it should be a phenominal April-June for wild flowers.

 

[Macland]

Man I want that to happen. I would love to get some pictures of that.

 

[drbandkgb]

Hey MAc

 

[drbandkgb]

Good job

 

[Jmac289gt]

Looking real good sir.

 

[Macland]

Thanks guys. I've got big plans for the X coming up

I can almost taste the lift! It's just within my grasp. My plans are to order the NissTec Ultimate Lift Kit but I've already got a Deaver AAL from OKXterra & MississippiGal.

So the question I pose is, should I just ask if they'll remove the AAL from the kit and knock that amount off or what?

And, do I need anything else additionally when doing my lift? Such as, the SPC Camber Bolt Kit?

Or do I need to add a set of Front Bilstein Height Adjustable Shocks?

 

[civicjoe]

Id suggest getting the cam bolts, they can probably get you aligned w/o but its better to go this route, you can go with the bilsteins if you really want, the ones in the kit are still bilstien 5100s just with a different mounts and you get eibach coils dont know if those are going to do anything extra for you since it doesnt say anything about an increased strength like the emu hd coils, but they do claim that they are ready to be installed. so thats a plus so you wont need a spring compressor. And with that weight up front like the hefty id recommend stronger springs but youll probably be ok unless you plan to add sliders or any other armor soon. Ive read that people go with 600# springs often go backwards because its too stiff IIRC.

 

[Macland]

So you're saying I should go with the Complete Old Man Emu suspension w/AAL with the Cam Bolt set and HD Coilovers? That runs $910 w/assembled coilovers. And I've have to choose between the included AAL or the ones I bought earlier. Would the kit included one be better or what?

That's actually cheaper than the NissTec lift I'd mentioned earlier. I'm wondering what the difference between the two is. And that's with $110 being charged for the assembly.

 

[Jmac289gt]

The only thing I think I know about these questions you ask is:

The 2005 and up Xterras (and other Nissans) do not come from factory with the cam bolts, If you have already added some to get an alignment done before then you should be able to re-use them.

 

[Macland]

Thanks for the advice Jmac, up to now I haven't had an alignment done. Still rockin stock tires.

Sort of, I mean I've heard really good things about the OME stuff, I just saw that they offer the upgraded springs. I don't know what the true plans of your truck are. The first kit you were looking at was good and all you needed to do there was to talk to nisstech about getting upgraded coils, or tell them how your truck sits now and how you want it to sit in the realistic future. I Iike the coil overs on the first kit but at the same time I kinda feel like they are the same bilstiens I have just with nicer clothes on, if you get my drift. I don't know about the leaf springs vs the aal, but I do know that you can get an increased load on the emu leaf pack.
Tighthams I think is the guys name over on tnx I believe has the OME kit and has a hefty front and rear bumper, think he might have sliders too. You could ask him for info on the kit, I believe he even got it from nisstech.
Or there's always the ask Greg at prg option as well with something like the OME vs radflos vs bilstiens, he'll be able to help you just gotta call him.

[Macland]

Yeah. I know Tighthams rig, I'll pm him with a question on it. Thanks for the help Joe. I really like the OME kit, I just don't like how some of the stuff gets back ordered overseas and all. I'll start feelers with NissTec.

 

[civicjoe]

Yeah I know what you mean, they( being ARB) told me it would take like 6-8 weeks for a simple rubber part, but it's probably not to common for them to have around. Can't imagine too many people have called up asking for what I asked for, or maybe it is. Idk. Maybe part of it is that it goes thru customs.

Happy Birthday to my Xterra!!!!!!!!! It's been exactly one year I've had her She's came so far in a year :sure::hihi:

 

[Oz_X]

Awesome Rig!

 

[sleeper00]

Very nice Mac! Keep it coming!

 

[Macland]

Sad news. The house sale that was going to pay off my X and finance a new lift fell through :Annoyed: The loan officer handling the financing for the people buying the house left his job and took the loan file with him. After all of this our Realtor can't get in touch with the people who had been under contract. So we got screwed :RAWRx2:

Now we have to re-list the house and hope that it sells again. It's been a whole damn year and we've came off the price 20k!

 

[drbandkgb]

Did you get the good faith money?

No, I asked my dad about that and he said since technically they didn't get financing then they don't have to. If they had received financing and withdrew then we would have.

 

[civicjoe]

bummer mac!

 

[Jmac289gt]

Well that sucks sir, I must have missed it or don't remembering reading it but where are you wanting to move to?

 

[Macland]

You didn't miss anything. We're not moving. It's a house my dad and I are partners on that we flipped.

 

[Timrich]

That sucks man! Sorry to hear about the house. Back on topic though, your X looks great!

 

[civicjoe]

Indeed did you ever get those lights and that remote to work? Or did i miss it

 

[Macland]

Nah, it never came to fruition. At this point I'm just stoked that OTRATTW has new switches

 

[civicjoe]

these ones?

or probably these ones

 

[Macland]

I plan on doing the Zombie lights for my Hellas, the backup lights for a light setup like idratherberidin's how to and possibly some Apocalypse lights for a roof rack someday.

 

[civicjoe]

Haha, keen powers of deduction Stevin You're sooo lucky I wasn't in need of those handles! I had the jump on yah!

Haha I wanted the RN90 but you beat me to it but you'll have to post up how its installed tho! I'm wanting to get a dog soon and have been heavily debating the RN90 or full sized rear net.

 

[bigjim247365]

mmmm those switches!

 

[Macland]

Pics are definitely in order, and OTRATTW posted up that the blue led switches are available for order so that'll be coming sometime too.

 

[Macland]

Well I got the nets all put up and I've got plans for adding a footman loop to hold the middle strap down to the A-pillar.

I moved the blue bag so that you can see how much clearance there would be to slide stuff underneath if you were to lay the seats down.

 

[OKXterra]

Looking good! Raingler nets are quality stuff... we've ended up purchasing more of thier products than I care to admit sometimes, lol.

 

[gunna15]

love that GoW symbol under your bumper man! awesome!
