Ha. My bad. Right under 90k.



Within the last two months. It had already gotten worse over the summer. I didn’t notice any difference in the immediate next tank after the CAI but it did improve slightly. I was also being conscious of how I was driving… with the exhaust and CAI I think I was heavier on the pedal for a while.
My mileage went down when I put a Flowmaster 40 on .
Mainly because I wanted to hear it !!

Have you tried resetting the brain? I know every time I yank the battery Doing work (or drain it to hell like today leaving the winch on ... don’t ask) it always seems to reset all the trip and mileage info and my DTE goes up to 350 or so until it relearns my lead foot.

Can confirm after the new exhaust my mileage went way down at first because it sounded so good.
I concur. Fun factor is inversely proportional to gas mileage. Here’s an example. This was running opposite the way we went up 2 weekends ago. Monitored mileage: 4 and fun.

remember, the windows are UP and it’s still stock exhaust. All the chirping is my BullyDog bitching at fuel usage.

You are nearing the time for new plugs. Also, most CAI don't filter as well as the factory elements so you may want to clean your MAF and do a LTFT reset to see if that helps.
All of the above will be happening shortly sometime this winter. I also am going to use that Nissan DataScan software to test the individual cylinders just to see what it says.

keep in mind, i think they did switch to winter blend around here, i did take a hit on the mpg as well

Well I have a “holy crap!!!” Moment now. Ordered the AFE cold air intake during their holiday sale last week. Just got an email that due to shortage of resources and staffing, I should see my intake from AFE on..... get this.... 2/11/22. Soooooo. Looks like I have another item that’ll be installed in the spring with my TS. BUT... my front locker from Lokka ordered in June has just shipped yesterday!!! I’m s gonna be a busy spring.

just my luck suppose to be 1.50" rain showing up Saturday... Gonna be a rush job. ;-)

Glanced at my Firestone AIRbags.. Crap!!!.. They are all bent and wrinkled!!.. Grrrrrrrrr.. NO air inside. ( Does explain the thump I felt the other day)

Jacked up the Frame to stretch out the bags, Lightly add Air.. wait few minutes.. crank more height to jack.. add more air..

Airbags, looks inflated. and seated properly.

Lowered the X.. checked air pressure.. 45 PSI.. COOL holding pressure.
lowered to 25 PSI for normal use.
Tires. 37 PSI for winter.

Note to self.. CHECK those things often..
Is it beer time yet?

should drank few beers before tackling the Light.. might have went faster and more quality install. Did add new Push clips on the grill section. Them thing were loose.

Need to add wipers next.
I think Driver side was 22" Passenger side was 21" for Max wiping ability.
That shall be my next Project.. new wipers..
Raining now.. DONE playing outside..

Talked myself in and out of springing for nismo led lights, and ended up going with diode dynamics instead after I measured how tall a 6 inch light would be. They sent 2 sets of floods instead of one set floods, one set spotlights though so working on resolving that.

That’s gonna be yuuuge. Did you already get ditch light brackets? @Pro-4K is selling his set because of the snorkel.
yeah i got the rago fab brackets, and the lights are backordered until at least march so that sucks, i went ahead and got the diode dynamic ss3's combo lights instead. i'll get the baja's when my front bumper comes in

I still want to see the Max fog lights. I just did Pro white combo on the front and had them on driving in the dark for the first time and I’m quite pleased with the output.
i got the max fogs in flood beam pattern and uuum i think i should have put like combo's or something, i dont know if i'm aiming them too low but I was expecting more output from maxs floods. but i can't wait to try this combo driving lights. also, i couldnt find combo MAX in yellow, diode only has them in white smh. but once my hefty fab bumper comes in i'm going to be adding some diode SS5's :D

Quick Pic with the ss3 ditch lights, ill be doing the wiring in the evening. CAMO is doing an overlanding event this weekend with a lot of night driving so I can't wait to try them out (PS - I'm too lazy to clean the bumper since it'll be getting dirty again this weekend)

I also ordered the Gear America aluminum ultra bow shackle (with locking pin) and the aluminum ultra shackle hitch (with locking pin) which should arrive this week. I can't put the two bow shackles until my bumper arrives but at least i can stare at them until then lolz

If you got flood pattern yeah that’s just going to blind everybody and it doesn’t throw much light actually “forward.” And it won’t pass VA inspection either. Mine are the actual fog pattern that’s approved and I still had to point that out to the inspector.

I originally had flood in my Pros on the front and on a dark street there was barely a noticeable difference. On the trail it lit up all the way to the tops of the trees but it wasn’t bright — just visible and illuminated. Then I switched to combo and it was a huge difference. I think Diode Dynamics optics are a little “too good” and that includes the flood making sure light goes as scattered as possible so it’s not concentrated.
