Planning to explore Moldova while here so decided to put together a trip thread. I’ll venture to Romania to see Dracula’s castle at some point as well. Wasn’t sure where to put a trip thread, if this is the wrong spot please move it. It all started on 25 Aug 2022, on the truck headed to the...

The official part name is; transmission control device assembly. It’s the whole AT shifter unit inside the truck, part number 34901-EA60B. I need a new one as I was having a hard time shifting into gear. Shop says there’s a broken/bent piece inside that is getting stuck while shifting. Dealer...

I have a Lokka for the R180 front diff for sale. I decided against installing it to keep the truck more street versatile. I also have a set of thinner shims as you may need them to get spacing correct. $300 shipped from Northern VA. Can meet up for local delivery if someone from the area wants it.

Need to gain back a bit of clearance from putting on bumpers and armor. I currently have a 1” top spacer but need more. Anyone have some 2” spacers and extended rear shackles they want to sell? Thought I’d ask before ordering from Nisstec.

Hey all. Time to start buying spares before I ship my vehicle overseas. I’m heading to Chisinau, Moldova in August. They have Nissans in country so hopefully that means repairs and parts will be easier. However, I’m going to take some with me. Here’s my list. Received: 2 - serpentine belts 2 -...

So I bought a LOKKA automatic differential locker a while back. Was going to install today but scraped the plan when I realized I wouldn’t have enough time. For giggles, stopped by a 4x4 shop for a quote. Didn’t giggle, more of a choke with them quoting $1450. For that much, I’ll definitely do...

Hey all. Sunday I’m headed to Farmville, VA for the next four weeks. Got work stuff in Blackstone but hotel is in Farmville. Couple questions: 1. Anyone know a shop in the area they trust to install a front Lokka? I don’t need my truck during the week so can drop it off for a couple days for...

Another one of my little projects for the truck. I want to upgrade my battery terminals for extra space to connect stuff. I plan to install a winch in the next six months (when my front bumper arrives), and a CB. Need to get better stereo and speakers as well, that means amp. I see Rugged Rocks...

My headlight assemblies need replacing, they are all fogged up. I will get the lens cleaning kit for a quick fix, but would like to replace them at some point. Are these Spec D things legit? They are not expensive and claim to be DOT compliant. I like the HID kits but those are $800 and are...

I know they aren't the most preetiest, but I've always loved these wheels. I've been trying to find some that fit the Gen 2. I found these, do they fit? I know they are 15" compared to my stock 16's, but I need new tires anyway...

Well, my simple maintenance for an upcoming road trip went south quick. Two lug nuts wouldn't come off the driver side rear wheel. In the effort to do so, the wheel studs broke free and started free spinning in the hub. They needed to be torched out, but the shop says the holes in the hub...

Thanks for this how to, very helpful in preparing for installing my AAL. I need a few more parts first. https://www.xterranation.org/index.php?threads/2-lift-spacers-and-aal.29/ I bought the 4x4 parts three leaf AAL. In the description it recommends removing the overload leaf, or get longer...

Well...got some time on my hands and it's time to change both differentials and the transfer case fluid. What brands do you all recommend?

I'd like to get more stopping power for my truck. Is there a package out there? Something with bigger calipers, rotors, or whatever may be needed?

Brainstorming here and looking for some input from the group. I want to put a new exhaust on from the cats back. I was thinking about some form of custom dual exhaust, but not sure if my plan will work. Here's what I'm thinking. Second Gen front pipe. I would buy two of these and cut them...

My first build thread, Gen X's 2001 SE. I really liked that truck but looking forward to building out Gen X 2.0 Here’s how it looked when bought Jan 2020. Here’s how it looked as of 15 April 2023. And how it looks as of 23 Nov 2023. Raptor lined all around, including plastics and wheels...

I wanted a simple roof rack that fit within the stock roof rails. I didn’t want a basket that added height, and didn’t want to spend the money for a DepHep or Gobi. I couldn’t find anything that met the size I was looking for so decided to make my own. I made this one for a little over $100...

Not sure if this belongs here or in general maintenance. Mods please move if this fits somewhere else better. I'm getting ready for a long road trip, and my cruise control doesn't work. When I hit the button, there is an audible click and the cruise light turns on. But, when I take my foot...

So, in the sweltering heat of this past Saturday, I changed the front and rear diff fluid and the transfer case. Also finally got my AC shackles put on too, replacing the DIY shackles from the previous owner. They gave me a bit more lift and are far more solid than the welded frankensteins...

So, time for inspection and emissions. Went to the shop Sat morning and they said muffler and flex pipe was leaking. On the way to Autozone for new y pipe and muffler, my service engine soon light came on. Pulled the code and got P0110 for IAT sensor. Read up and first step was reset and see...
