    And a five year warranty on those tanks too. I read the web page and I’m pretty impressed. I’ll let you order them and you can test fit on your rig. :) Actually I think in the next few months I might place an order.

    I see what your saying. That’s a tough one. You need those cans and there isn’t a great place to put them. Too bad the cab is so limited with space. It would be nice to add a fuel cell inside the hatch but it would be such a bummer to lose interior space.

    Your right. Ideally I would have built a box around the arm. I had an hour to figure something out. I didn’t have time to figure out what I could do that wouldn’t limit range of motion. So I slapped a piece of metal on the side. Im gonna revisit the idler arm on a day that I have some more time.

    Day 126 in the shop. I took the day off from work to get to work on the Xterra before the 100 degree weather starts. I needed to install my Grassroots centerlink and my idler arm bushings from Bandit 4x4. Everything came apart fine. And I thought, “ I should reinforce...

    What did t you like about the design? The style? Or the way it was designed?

    Dig it. I was the same about the frame. I ended up taking the whole day to jump around on the welding. I think a younger me would have destroyed the frame.

    I didn’t know how strong the bolt ins were gonna be. I guess I got Uber focused on having to have a weld on?

    That’s a great idea!! And that price is perfect. I didn’t think about building my own swing arm but buying the bumper kit. What was tripping me up building my own was getting the cuts correct. We have a metal brake but it has its limits. Thank you. I might order that today

    I got some more garage time in today. I’ll post more about that later. I’m sitting here thinking about a hit list. So here is what I still need to do: -Install Ram 1500 master brake cylinder and all that goes with the upgrade -adjust the rear drum brakes -drop the oil pan and replace seals...

    Thanks. I dig the line it makes. It wasn’t planned. Just Lucky it looks cool. I’ve only had them on a few days and I’m getting the happy wave from other guys with modified rigs. kinda nice having something I can see instead of “hey look at my valve cover gaskets and new silicon hoses….”...

    This is true. And it’s one of those things no one will notice. It was just tough welding them to the frame because the footer plates didn’t all meet flush. Had to build up some gaps with material. No biggie.

    There was some envy. This kid was living her best life for sure.

    Rad. It was one of the first things I did and it broke my bank! Now I’m looking at pod lights in Walmart thinking “those don’t look so bad”
