There are pros and cons of a dysfunctional, near psychosis OCD. So, these dozen 8020 aluminum extrusions took ~40 hours to build out the interior organizational structure. As other builders of the 8020 systems have noted, “it’s taken apart, put back together”. Forgot a needed nut/bolt and...

Current today: There are pros and cons of a dysfunctional, near psychosis OCD. So, these dozen 8020 aluminum extrusions took ~40 hours to build out the interior organizational structure. As other builders of the 8020 systems have noted, “it’s taken apart, put back together”. Forgot a...

Nisstec MK84 front coilovers installed today, along with the UCA. Had a friend help, whose mechanical skills are much higher than mine. Driver side took ~two hours, and the passenger side about an hour. I should have reviewed the forum boards last night, instead of working through the...

I purchased the console dock station and external GPS through another user. I’ve searched for one of these for years. I’m a gadget guy, but prefer to have everything tucked away. And painted the rear axle, along with most of the frame and metal I could get to under the truck. I taped a...

TRANSMISSION: The truck will be loaded pretty heavy, and I expect some work on the transmission. A simple drain/refill (4qts) is routinely done to help keep the fluid clean. I’ve ran the wire to install a temp. Gauge (8 conductor for additional needs). The gauge has an auto on/off for the...

A.R.E. DCU canopy painted to match the truck with double doors in back and window/doors on the side. This was a brutal expense, but once I decided to abandon the alternative truck plans...I committed (in my mind) to stay with a Frontier platform for some time. The stock rack will come off...

Over the last month, I've had some time to do some work, so I'll catch up this thread with those details: White Knuckle Slider Install (~couple months ago): I had originally ordered as powder coated, but my “guide” advised to get bare steel, and I could use the sliders as holding tanks for...

Note: The bike is a 2016 Honda Africa Twin, currently with 25k miles. I’ve recently moved into the retirement phase after 30+ years in the fire service. So, the plan is solo miles on the bike, and finish the truck as our “overland” adventure rig. I have air bags in the back to help with the...

Hunting camp multi-day setup and quick overnight stay (truck overland setup is under construction!)

I carry and have used the InReach. Riding my Honda In Central Oregon miles from anyone and hours from an ER a couple years back. Left leg is broken, but the original pain felt like I destroyed my ankle (another story!). The road was filled with rocks and ruts and then I came to this thick...

Hard to travel from Camano Island- that's near textbook perfect. Thanks for the nice welcome. I'm still drawn to the new shiny things, but I agree, knowing the truck will be helpful. A lot of my long rides are with a friend who rides the textbook Harley. He has a K9 trailer he tows, with the...

Hello Fellow Guardians! Ron here with a quick intro. 30+ years as a first responder. My truck is a 2011 Nissan Frontier Pro4x with 110k miles. Plans to build out for the wife and I to travel full time. I debated about using this current truck, or moving to a Toyota, Dodge Rebel, Chevy ZR2...
