I'm in VA, here.
The first thing I would do is check to see if the SMOD transmission cooler recall was done.
Then whether it was or wasn't, would be to install a separate transmission cooler.
Dude, I feel you.
There are no off the shelf rear swing-arm solutions for these. I get that is a function of demand, but I don't have welding skills, so I was hoping SOMEONE would make one.
Everyone chime in and tell me where this fails.... Xterra step bumper (the sides of the Xterra) Xterra swing-out tire carrier and bumper. Insane? Too much fab work? I took the spare out from under, as it is no longer the right size, and realized it made a huge difference in departure angle. So, as a...
I did it. I love it. I, of course, had to replace control arms, but that was to be expected. I ended up with what may be a half- to one-inch 'lift', but I think that is because it hasn't settled and because the stock everything was shot, at least in the rear. I haven't taken a look at the fronts, bu...
I have upped the aspect ratio to 70 on a pair of Michelin's (2012 Silver Edition). They are probably the Defender LTX (I will check later; it is what my CostCo had). The TL;DR? My Speedo is now correct with every GPS speed measuring device I can throw at it. With the 265/65/r17, 70 MPH indicated was...
The Good: I can now stop a tow truck. The Bad: I SOMEHOW got my Left and Right calipers reversed. I didn't know that was possible, but I did. I also could not bleed them to save my life. Lastly, I misunderstood what these were, and I had ordered pads for a Titan. The Story: After bleeding with a bud...
Bilstein 5100s are the tried and true, from what I have seen? They will need to be replaced, regardless, as that is something most people neglect. The rest of the vehicle is practically a museum piece, but I get the feeling that a non-car guy/enthusiast was hit with a suggestion for a 60k service an...
I have a 2012 Silver with 71k. The tail end 'wags the dog', as it were. In doing research here, I have just come up with more questions. I would like to maintain stock height, but if a small bump is required in the response, that is fine. QUESTION: What does everyone here do to correct what seems to...
