  • Guest, we will be conducting site maintenance this week and some downtime is expected. At this time Rally Point and the Member Map will also become an app-only feature for long-term security and stability. A few days after this maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.

    Reaver's 03 Xterra XE "Gamora" build thread

    How has this mounting system your using hold up? Is the truck used off road where stresses might be exerted on that Shovel handle? Would definitely appreciate updates as you get some use out of it.....Also how much weight do you think is being supported off that Shovel?

    You have a Solid build happening, I'm sure with the quality of this build, this rig will have no problem doing its extended purpose. Nice choice on the GM drive train and planning on having readily available parts across the country. Makes life easier if shit happens. Looking forward...

    Just another WJ

    Great build thread! The rear seat delete is a nice touch with the storage and sleeping platform. Loving those custom bumpers did a fine job on those! Making me really want another WJ. Gunna make that happen soon.

    While tearing the rest of the case apart to change the bearings and seals, I came across a dew parts I didn't expect to have to change out. Mainly the shift fork pads and the clutch fork pads, luckily the Nzp231J & NP231C cases share the same part #'s and casting #'s so I was able to just...

    I haven't had a chance to dig into the lift very much, but can confirm James Duff make lifts for Ford applications. Which should make tracking down alot easier than I had originally thought. I'm sure the axles shave so e I'd markings or plates on them. But I'm pretty aire they came out od...
