Shocks look squished. What are your plans?
But. My lower mounts don't hang below the tube anymore.

I'm building new upper mounts that relocate the upper eye into the gap of the body lift. And 4" alcans +1" of shackle.

I'm still sitting on the sagged factory springs. Debating putting in this AAL I have in the garage since I don't know how long the alcans are going to take.

I’m curious about this Drone system. Do you have a link to the one you got?
I also got remote start and glass breakage sensors, not sure if that was an add on or not, I wanted them. It also reminds me when I need to maintenance the truck on it's scheduled intervals.

Not to ask a stupid question .....but are u gonna trim down the u-bolt's once u retorque or a flip kit to fit the titan axle .
Unfortunately, I can't do a flip kit. The Junction of the hard and soft brake lines is exactly where the top plate would go. Just a function of the OE brake lines. The length of the u bolts is temporary. A new set will be going in when my Alcans arive.

The service center I use for motor/computer type repair's actually made me 2 short hard brake line's that 2 nissan dealer's couldn't locate or tell me maybe they'd be in stock. Could you custom go it and relocate where the brass connector for hard/soft would be ? relocate the clippy thing .

Lookin at the pic it looks like the bumpstop would be on it . Either way .

Previously I had my GMRS antenna on the hatch, but it was not grounding correctly — turning on my LED lights made loud interference and prevented me from using the radio. I’m happy to report that running a Motorola cable from the Maxterra swing arm mount I have zero interference with all the lights on. And even though it’s about a foot lower, I can still hit the Alexandria and Warrenton repeaters from Fairfax. And bonus, no more having to remove the antenna to open the hatch when my tent is up.

Remind me to give you a gasket for the NMO, i got couple of spares in glovebox. It came in 5 pack, added protection.

They're double flared lines on both ends. Be pretty simple to tack a new bracket on and make new lines for them.

Nothing is easy; went to assemble the Timbrens, first one went together fine but the second one the bolt bottomed out in the bracket too early, leaving the rubber bumper loose to rattle/flop around. Sure I could throw another washer or two in there, but figured I’d shoot support an email to see what they can do.

Anyone get the Navaro hood strut kit? I got around to putting mine on today and realized it has all the parts and a vague pic on the box but zero directions.

Does anyone have a pic of where you located your shock mounts?
Thanks!20210716_144949.jpg

Since buying "Black Betty" 2 months ago- Window tint, window vents, hood deflector, 2" leveling, SMOD, timing chain, stereo/backupcamera/remote start going in this weekend. All that is left is buying some ko2's, installing bullbar with Rigid lights and the fishing machine will be done. Oh but wait need to come up with a rack on top- Installed a Thule basket but wont fit in the garage!
What size ko2’s? I’m running 285 Patagonia Milestars & need to lift/level as yours. I’m debating OME or Billstien with AAL. So question, how did you “Lift & Level” ? She sure looks clean. Oh, mud flap gotta go, cause they will one way or the other.

I had the extra camera from Amazon and my radio has a port for a front camera, so I figured why not. Turns out the image is mirrored left/right for use as a reverse camera, and the head unit only lets me flip the back one. Oh well. Still can use it I guess.

285 75 16" is what I plan on having installed- 2" spacers were added to the front.
Yes, I hear the mud flaps need to be removed- Is there another aftermarket flap made that can be used?

Most just remove them. I have seen the more flexible “skirt” type used and there are a bunch of options to choose from. Here’s a link from a quick search of “skirt type flexible mud flaps”. + I clicked on this one that had a bunch of different styles. https://www.autoaccessoriesgarage.com/Mud-Flaps-Guards/_Nissan-Xterra?year=2007
BTW, are you an East Coast Redfish, Drum, Speckled Trout, Sheephead, surf / jetty / fishing enthusiast?
DUH oop’s !!! I just noticed your in Oregon, facepalm, so I don’t think those species would be in your local area. I’m an idiot, sorry.

I did the same but my camera had the loop wires you could cut to invert image or delete distance lines. Image corrected but kept my lines. Had a blast with it at ECXC!! I could map terrain right up to my bumper and tire lines. Able to see exactly what spotters told me. Unless I was nose deep in the drink. Now to get it to record...

Body lift pucks done....gotta cut the hoop out, adjust the power steering fluid canister, get longer rad hose and figure out the lower bumper thingy in the front. Easy install though, that was a nice surprise!

On my 1st Gen, I used qty 4, 2" brass nipples from home depot with a washer top and bottom to space the factory stuff up. The bracket that drapes the side of the frame horns separates once it turns flat. Now the plastic that wraps the front of the frame horns, IMO, should just be removed and trashed. You can leave it, but it looks out of place with the gap. If you remove the plastic and just leave the metal it's less obvious.

I made plates fir the side mounts out of 1/4 plate and welded some bolts to it to mount main bumper. Frame horns...good name...for that it looked like it unbolts, thought I'd make a lift plate or something For the plastic to go back on so it looks stock again, havent got that far yet lol. Should just buy a stick of 1.5 dom and plate steel and make something....

Well .......................While looking for a place to relocate the winch'es top hat/contactor [ what ever u care to call it ] I noticed I never got back to putting an extension of sort's on the front differential breather line since it just lay's there on that little shelf. So I did a thing !! ;)
The clear hose is what was added for those going WHAT ?
