[xterror04]

Drain and refill power steering, wireup transmission temp gauge, new plugs and wires, fix drivers seat ( broke two bolts) install rugged rocks engine mount, build some sort of carrier for Jerry can, and hi lift, build gas tank skid plate, put on new decals...lol

You've probably thought of this, but inspect your evap lines. I broke one after I did my body lift, and it threw evap codes

Apparently the EVAP canister was utterly filthy and just needed a good cleaning. Cleared the codes and back to normal, woo! Still have at least 1/3 life left on brakes/rotors and coolant leak was easy peasy (very minor).

Still need to get last two skids. Other than that, should be ready to go.

Apparently my steering pump is on its last legs or so. Coworker/mechanic said that eventually need to put in new rack and pinon if it keeps acting up. Joy.

Alcans installed. Working on a cargo area rack for the ARB fridge.

 

[Ron ap Rhys]

Nisstec front lift stuff ordered. UCAs and Radflos. Also, just received my NATO cans from Cheaper than Dirt.

[xterror04]

[civicjoe]

Well got the skids installed the best they can be its going to be in shrocks court to get me some pieces to get the final mounts on, something is up with my truck the drive shaft crossmember is about 2 inches out of place, be shrock said they'd get me something to get them mounted up firmly.

Sounds like shrock is slacking in the quality department.

i initally thought so too, but no pretty sure since both mounts are are almost the exact same distance off something got welded either backwards or 2 inches out of place when they built my frame, that or some how thru my extreme wheeling (yeah no) the cross member got bent, but it looks fine and ive never been severely stuck. The pieces are cnc cut and not tabs that have been welded on after the fact, and for both of them to be out of place about the same distance, pretty sure this one falls back to nissan, unfortunately. Not a huge deal so long as i dont get hung up on anything before the mounting tabs they said they would fab me arrive.

Post up pics so we can get an idea of what to look out if we get in similar situation with shrock.

No rush, just whenever Shrock sends you the brackets.

Assuming everything ends up going to plan, here's my mod list:

• New UCAs (PRG or TC) - These are installed. I went with the SPC light racing ones from Nisstec.
• Radflos or similar - These are installed. Extended Radflos from Nisstec.
• Cambolts - Didn't do these, but the alignment was completed (yeah for the Firestone lifetime deal) and no issues.
• Might get around to painting the bumpers - still haven't made a decision on this yet. It needs to be done, hopefully I get around to it.
• Jam nuts on the tire carrier - still need to do this.
• Put new tip on my Firestik (mine got scrapped off) - done
• Better clothes storage - need to figure this out
• Change the fluids all around - still to do
• Add missing skid bolt - still to do
• New shoes - done. Goodyear MT/Rs.

Oh yeah - get in better shape so the hike up Pike's Peak doesn't kill me.

I've also managed to pick up an MV90 air compressor kit, a Smittybilt snatch block and ARB treesaver. Two NATO fuel cans and nozzle from Cheaper than Dirt have rounded out the purchases. I'm actually in very good shape right now, in terms of the installations and parts. Physically, not too shabby either. Basically ready for the climb.

What's the discount? And what about those not near a 4WP store?
