Can’t wait to see it in person!
That's the question. If they're not stamped DOT then a stiff inspector will fail it.They look good. Will they pass VA inspection? I’ve looked at similar ones in the past, but must’ve been other brands because I remember the page saying “for off-road use only” which I knew was code for “won’t pass inspection.”
Where did you order from ?They are DOT stamped. I had the same question so made sure before buying. If you zoom in on the photo of the single headlight I posted, you can see the stamp. But, I won’t be surprised if I get hassle from an inspector.

That’s a lot more affordable than I would’ve guessed. I wonder why it’s only through 2012 though…. I guess either Nissan changed something or that company just hasn’t verified an install on a newer one.I got mine from redline360. There’s other sites that sell as well if you Google them, I think they’re all about the same price. I think protuninglab.com has free shipping.

They look good. Got a little night driving in with them and I like the beam pattern better than the Nineos I had in there. They need a little adjusting when I get a chance, I’ll get some photos posted later on.
At least for #2, I moved mine forward one notch to bring it into spec. Still had to do melt mod for the spacers though. It really is incredibly easy. Anytime you’re nearby I have a heat gun.Added parts yesterday. Got the PRG rear shackles on set at the middle hole, 2” coil spacers on front, dropped the rear sway bar, and added 1.5” wheel spacers. Gained 1.75” lift in back and 1.5” in front.
Have a couple must do’s now:
1. Extended sway bar links for the front.
2. Melt mod, having slight wheel rub at full lock now with the wheel spacers.
Have some questions for the group:
1. Alignment wise, it rides dead straight. Doesn’t feel like one is needed. But I lifted and spaced out the wheels so must need one, yes? What specs should I use? Stock specs with 3” of lift now won’t work right?
2. Alignment / melt mod question. With the SPC ball joints, can I just change the “star” spacer to move the wheel forward instead of melting?
3. Rear shocks. I have Rancho 9000XL, 22.28 inch full extension length. What shocks out there are longer and would give me more travel?
So much this. I can't wait to see it.You need to start a trip thread to post pictures and keep us updated!
Is it being shipped in a container or RORO?On the truck headed to the port for shipment to Moldova. Should I be concerned that the guy picking it up was wearing an ankle monitor? He seemed nice.

And please be careful. That's not the safest area of the world at the moment.

The inside boot looks dry and seals like that sling oil around so check where the cv goes into the front diff.Diagnosis time. I’m leaking something, but don’t know what. Not a great picture, it’s been raining for days here. Lots of road grime.

Do CVs leak from the diff? The axle shaft is wet, and oil is leaking down onto the LCA. Nothing above the axle shaft is wet. Not a leak in the brake line, checked with someone pumping the brakes and reservoir has not moved.
It’s been leaking since it was delivered a couple weeks ago. Power steering fluid is fine, and coolant too as well as engine oil level.
The fluid on the floor is clean oil, really looked like brake fluid to me. Is it front diff oil? Can that leak out and down the axle? I haven’t opened the fill plug to check it yet.
If that’s the leak, can I drive it just not using 4wd?
