Guest, UPDATE We went through the site migration runbook and completed all steps. We will need to complete the migration next week, but will leave the forums up for the weekend. A few days after maintenance, a major upgrade revision to the forum site will occur.
Welcome! I also have a Frontier Pro-4X. As already mentioned, Coil bucket contact will be an issue at anything over 2" of lift. Also, keep in mind that spacer lifts do NOT add any wheel travel. That was the main reason I went with a Titan swap on my front suspension. I'm running the Nisstec AAL...
I run 3 of the Husky brand tool bags in my truck. They are cheap, come in many sizes and are quite durable. 1 is for tools, 1 is for electrical tools and supplies and the third is for recovery gear. I prefer to split it all up so I don't have one heavy bag.
I have not made any changes to the rear suspension yet. Have you played with air pressures? One would assume too much air pressure would contribute to the pogo effect.
While not in the middle of nowhere, once while putting my dog out first thing in the morning in the middle of winter, I heard what sounded like much like a high speed metal on metal screeching sound mixed with a large choir holding one note off in the distance. This was at 4:30 in the morning...
I'm curious about your technique. Did you do any digging before placing them in front of the tires or did you just jam them under the tires and let the vehicles weight shove them down?
yes. It's the deep woods where GPS and cell signal can not be what you want. In fact, I've been in wooded areas in the city and have had my phone (android based) loose one or the other.
I have had a few instances where after being out in the woods for an extended period of time, it required me...
The GPS antenna In cell phones is NOT that strong. Here in MN there are many times both cell and GPS signal is lost on a cell phone. I will never rely on my phone for anything while out in the woods.
With that said, I had the handheld and the Chip long before I was aware of Gaia and before they...
I've been using both. Both have their use. I use the Xmaps chip in my garmin handheld for when I am on foot hunting. Seems accurate. I use Gaia in my truck on my tablet for in vehicle exploring. The main downside to the Xmaps is its a chip that they want $100 that I may want to buy new every...
I was in Poland a few weeks back with my wife and we rode around in her Uncle's Duster. I loved it. Relatively inexpensive, simple, nimble and rugged. I wish they sold them in the U.S.
With that said, I'd take AWD and a little less ground clearance over FWD and FWD over RWD.
Also, I would...
There is no one answer. When I'm going to be on easy gravel roads with the occasional paved section, I only air down to 25, more for smoother ride. If I know I'll be in some light stuff, I'll go to 20. if it is going to get more involved, I'll drop down a couple of pounds more.
I run the same compressor. The main trick is to start the compressor and THEN hook the air chuck to the tire. From what I've heard, it doesn't like starting against pressure.
Similar, but We don't use a wash tub. We aim for the "important spots" only. Also, pick up one of these instead of the spray bottle. it's like having running water. It also helps when doing dishes.
While that sounds like a good idea, I can see it being dependent on local terrain. I've been in groups where the location of the stuck vehicle is in such a tight spot that even getting the cable spooled out to a proper winch point is a chore, let along lugging a winch on a mount from a few rigs...
