Let me know what you think. I need new headlights and a grille as well.
replaced the taillight, grill/headlights, installed idler arm brace
and yup that appears to be a rear main seal leaking
ufck me
replacing o2 sensors the reducer came out with it and I destroyed it getting the sensor out

So general consensus says oil pan gasket not rear main, and seeing how after railing a massive line of coke nissan decided rtv was an acceptable oil pan gasket material, and its now 20 years old, I can see it, and its easier, so I'll do that first
it had its unfinished front bumper on for the first time, I found out my o2 sensor reducer was the wrong size, I drank a coors

Love how that bumper looks man!
ordered nissan's bullshiat idea of an oil pan gasket (oem)
bumper is all but finished, painted it (that same metallic gray) with rattle cans and finally ended the o2 sensor saga, no more cel but it still has a code for the knock sensor (its just fliping the light on)
still debating on lift kits, kinda leaning towards nisstec since it will come with brand new alcans, but then I stop and go ooooooooo tubular uca

Dude, that bumper looks FANTASTIC!! Interested in building another one??
I've been hearing a lot of horror stories regarding nisstec lately. Personally, I'd go 4x4parts and their UCAS. Then you have the option of adjustable shackles, 3-leaf AAL, or all new rear springs. But, you likely still won't fit 33s unless you do a body lift.
you would pay me in ducketts
the one order I did with nisstec was shipped fast, but I mean, I also remember ordering from calmini when people were saying you'd never get it, got my shackles for my isuzu in a week lol

I'm not sure what a Duckett is (unless that was supposed to start with an F, and the forum changed it), but I'm cool with that.

Seriously though, if you're interested, I'd happily pay you a fair price, as yours is one of the best looking Bumpers I've seen.

Hopefully, you don't get fooked on shipping costs. I went to order their 3 leaf pack, and shipping was 160 bucks. It's only an additional 200-250 for me to have custom leaf packs made and installed locally, so I decided that makes more sense for me.

Does your local one not do shipping to the store for free? Thats how I got my leafs for the yellow.
lifting a shiatbox nissan continued
and then sober me realized drunk me's mistake, ya see earlier I bought nisstec lift shackles, cause I was gonna do pml, but then I realized the AC lift shackles were half an inch shorter and I'd be making out my front t bars to get that little bit of lift and if I did they'd be wound up so tight I'd bounce my gf's titties off the roof hitting speed bumps
realizing that with those, all I was missing from the nisstec lift since I already have bilstein 4600's was t bars and that would solve the front lift for 2 inches, I went ahead and ordered the tbars from nisstec, so $240 vs $860ish with AC's ridiculous price gouged shipping
Good job drunk me on not figuring out paypal last night. gobble gobble HOSS

Well, he would know better than anyone else....
I mean, how drastically different and cost wise this has become, it is almost there tho, oil pan, lift it, rear locker install, windshield, headliner, drive it
t-bars came in, they say sway a way on em, also instructions say they should be labeled left and right, mine are not. Are they interchangeable?
I did something wrong, my lift kit didn't include an awesome babe

didn't really do anything, was hoping to get the bumper mounted today but it was 11 and my help was asleep (he's a wrecker driver too) and it was cold, rainy, and windy so I opted to go home early, did see the rigids light up for the first time, the amber back light is so sweet
Put my tie rod ends on my hd adjusters, didn't pay attention to which is suppoused to be inner and outer, hopefully not too difficult to figure out
picture of the winch and everything mounted from the backside

That woman is funny as all get out. Learned a lot about how to work on the X and how to make a proper you tube video watching her. Her sister is hysterical. Sis works like 72 hours straight on the truck and she waltzes in and says cool and then back out. Anyway great videos for indexing T-bars
PS. Your truck is going to be awesome when you get done!!!
Bumpers on, was working on wiring but ran out of time (my favorite mountain bar closes relatively early)
the amber back lights are super cool, and the driving beam is bright af
