Danger noodle! Nope rope!
We fossil hunt and my brother collects skulls so we're gonna fix up a tank and raise him for a few years. Sounds crazy but I've been I to herpetology since my teens and have had a number of different species of cobra, mambas, gaboon pits and a variety of others. I'm not into that shiat anymore but he wants it for the man cave and I told him I'd maintain him/her..

Where would you suggest shopping for OE?
nissanpartsdeal.com it's a dealership in Phoenix. They tend to have the best prices for online parts. But. When you get the p/n. Just Google it. Lots of dealerships advertise online prices for parts.

So here's the deal with buying OE parts online. Nissan subsidises online parts sales as a way to get people to interact with the dealer. If you go to the dealer parts counter you're going to pay list. Full stop. But, the same dealer can advertise the price online for less (even at a loss) and Nissan will make up the difference because it drives customer interaction.

This is exactly what I do. Parts are way less expensive this way.

I ain't watchin but I didn't go out tonight just because of the super bowl, don't wanna be surrounded by people cheering and booing and calling bullshiat for something has zero impact on reality what so ever

Yay beer

I didn't know ko3's were fixing to be a thing, guess thats why I can get ko2's for $260 a tire, need to hurry and save up a little for those, windshield and probably some corbeaus and buy some things to deep clean the interior

then I can finally go wheeling :)

Yep. Same thing with the Falkens.

Decided on AT4Ws in 35x12.50r17. It has the upgraded sidewalls Vs the 315s. Now I I just have to wait for them to actually exist. Gonna be running the racing slicks for a few more weeks.

I was just gonna do a set of load range e's, thicker sidewall, better puncture resistance, able to air down a lil more

I don't really buy into the one off road tire is infinetly better than the other, think it all works out about the same for 90% of us in terms of how well they do off road

True. The reason I'm going with the Falkens is the top rated snow performance.
