Was the valve cover warped or something? Why did you replace the whole thing

First time entry as well, also from PNW Build thread https://www.xterranation.org/index.php?threads/pharaon19s-07or-custom-fab-and-diy.8893/

No I didn't, these were more of a one off projects for me. I do have most of these designs in CAD, some of it changed during build but it wouldn't take much to update that. Building one is one thing, mass producing is a different ball game. I guess all I really need is to finish that CNC plasma...

Built myself a new bumper. Pretty happy with the result, fairly compact compared to most available and relatively light. 1" recovery point

I love the tires, glad I went with MT's, very nice on the street and great off-road, I'd buy them again. Sliders was my own design, I just got some square and round tubing and some plate for the mounts

Time for another update, finished some DIY sliders back in january. Made a kickout style sliders that doubles as a step for my little kiddos, but it's been super nice getting up and down the roof rack, so I'm very happy with how they turned out. Used 2"x 2" x .120" and 1.75" x .120" tubing.

1.25" spacer will give you 2" of lift, not 2.5. Just toss it on and see how it feels

Try bleeding the brakes with the ABS plugged in and the car running, from what I've been reading that should allow you to open the ABS valves and completely bleed them. Otherwise dealer with the tool

Installing the winch added around 100lbs to the front and now felt a little too soft with stock springs (~140k miles) with 5100s. I wanted to upgrade the springs and keep the bilsteins for now. Springs I used are from gen4 4runner, v8 model. Spring rate from what I found online is 580lb/in...

Yeah I did the same thing on my bumper, you really don't want to go without using these holes.

Recently wanted a winch but buying a new bumper and then upgrading suspension was too much. I had a winch plate and some other material so I gave a go at integrating one into a stock bumper. The goal was to make it as slim as possible. I started with a winch plate, I think it's smittybilt...

I'm a little up north, in Lake Stevens, WA

Around Christmas time installed some 1.5" wheels spacers that I got as a gift. May 2017 Installed new front 5100 shocks set at 0.5" to level the truck. Replaced the steering rack as original one had a ton of play on one side. Started going exploring and camping with my brother and other...

I got the xterra in Nov 2016, needed to replace my MX-5 with something that could have some car seats. Dec 2016. First mod was the headlights, stock ones were just not cutting it, I'm somewhat picky about headlights so I retrofitted them with morimoto mini d2s projectors and morimoto HID kit...
