The Greater Post Whore Society - Volume 3: New Year, New...Get Bent

[thecoalition]

Drank a ton this weekend. Drunk purchased a tent from massdrop. Turns out it was a really damn good deal. Sober me was not mad.

Guess I need to go camping this year.

 

[kirk]

Not bad really. I bought a damn Xterra drunk once (twice). I need a new tent, but I need it to be small and light enough to pack in and out.

I picked up an MSR hubba hubba nx2 for 289$ new. I was at rei Saturday and it came down to that the rei quarter dome 2 or the big Agnes's copper spur ul2. Msr won out Bc sub 300$

ufck. Truck needs a passenger rear axle seal and berrings
They called 2 dealerships and were told that because of the M226 with locker they had to replace the whole axle. Is there an axle seal kit I can buy ?

 

[thecoalition]

Axle seal can be bought separate. Not sure about bearings

 

[Prime]

Pretty sure the outer axle bearings bearings are replaceable. I know the carrier bearings aren't available from Nissan. But there's a straight up Dana bearing that fits. I put some feelers out to my dealership contacts. I'll let you know what I find.

Cool thanks prime.

Morning

 

[BEEFY]

Need to replace ball joints on the 44 finally

 

[BEEFY]

And I now have front bump stops for the first time since doing the sas

 

[Prime]

Cool thanks prime.

They consider the one highlighted inner, it is 40210-7S210. Currently waiting for further clarification. Asked if that is any different with the locker and there is another bearing there that refers to a different section and looks like an outer bearing.

That’s what I was able to find surfing in my phone. Nissan wanted $7500 for a new rear diff said that they didn’t make parts for any of the M226

That's horse shiat. It's a Dana 44. And bearings are a consumable. There's no way they'll make you replace the entire truck for an axle bearing. Because cost wise, that's what you're doing.

Ha ha I know. That’s why I am getting all the info including part numbers ready for when I go talk to their service manager

You could do a sas with a nice set of super duty axles for that price

I would need to upgrade my torsions if I upgrade my front bumper, correct?

Not required. You can re-index with the he extra weight and be fine. But for $200, it'd be stupid not to.

Im still eyeballing that ARB bumper I posted earlier. Are they (torsions) difficult to get in and back lined up correctly?

first off, thats an ARB. when you combine shipping and all that other fluff they with cost more than a shrock new.

second, its comes with a winch. its a good start but thats just a starting price. with it being an off color that could maybe help you get it down to $800 on a good day.

$750-800 is about what I thought. I never was sure if i even liked the ARB really. Or if I need one.

really what makes the job hard is rust. you being in Texas should have a much easier time with it. there is also a how to on the gen 1 write up page, my dude.

i went with my Shrock because it has a cleaner look. but that was a grand i spent 7 years ago. now that ive been in the community for so long i can just go on bookface an message someone and be like "build bumper pls" and it would be half the price and just as strong.

and yes, if you wheel an Xterra/Fronteir upgrading the bumper is highly recommend or youll rip that whole bumper off one day. i seent it.

 

[bigjim247365]

look at us talking about Xterras. what are we, a Nissan forum?

Depends on how rusty your shiat is. Just be careful with the hardware as it's becoming harder and harder to find.

 

[maillet282]

So ended up talking with the guy at the shop doing my brakes. He was able to get a right side axle with all the parts, new parking brake shews for $850 CAD. Will be able to get the truck back on Easter Monday good as new
