ground clearance

i forget sometimes just how much clearance the 2in lift and +2 diameter tires give us, it's usually obscured by the spare tire....the standard gallon water jug is centered under the rear diff, and the shot is lined up so the front skid plate is parallel with the rear diff... http://thelabphotography...

It's pretty straight forward, but the top bolt can be a real stubborn bitch. . 2nd'ed. take off tires, undo lower bolts, and then try to get to the top bolts. air tools are HIGHLY recommended, so if you have a buddy you can visit or something do that. for the passenger side top bolt make sure your ...

Re: Overdrive= better fuel economy?

My experience is the exact opposite. OH raised the limit to 70 a year or so ago. I used to run 75-80 and now run 80-85 and have lost about 1mpg on long trips. Best economy is around 45mph in OD. My typical commute is 50 miles of 55mph road, with lost of hills. I usually run 65-70 and average about ...

no problems with mine either. i've un/installed it probably a half a dozen times (i uninstall whenever i take it into the dealer). i also let a buddy borrow it for his frontier because he wanted to try it out before buying one himself.
