    2nd Gen - For Sale Lokka for R180

    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.

    2nd Gen - Wanted Coil Spacers & Rear Shackles

    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.

    LOKKA for 2010 R180 Front Diff

    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...

    Need New Headlights

    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...

    White Spoke Wheels

    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...

    Replace Axle Shaft For Egged Out Wheel Studs?

    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...

    DIY Roof Rack

    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...

    Cruise Control

    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...

    Umm...didn't see the fine print - Differential Gear Oil

    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...
