Finally, once & for all , I removed this 28 year old dinosaur from its sacred place in our 80. Set it out front on the road with a free to good home sign. Gone in less than an hour.

So, those are made by PP Engineering the same people who make a cage for 2nd Gen Xterra. Nistech doesn’t stock them, they are built to order and ship from PP who currently can’t guarantee a delivery time frame, or if they will continue to produce it.
When you go to PP Engineering’s site, that particular item is listed as discontinued.

How well does that thing work? Been curious about getting one for a while now. Verizon on my iPhone is decent here in western WA. AT&T service more than a few miles from I-5 was nonexistent. Would like to have even further reach if possible.

Today I proved a friend wrong. He said I couldn't build a sleeping platform in a 2dr Jk.
Edit 10/24 I will be posting a better set of pictures and more details soon. Proof of concept works now the redesign to reduce the bulk of material.

I installed some protection against small scrapes from the bush, and other drivers who can't park.

Installed a REDARC Tow Pro Elite brake controller. The installation bracket (not included) is essential for an install on a JLU. had to make a slight "modification" to the kick panel to get it to fit and ensure that the controller is in a position to avoid interfering with the vertical steering wheel adjustment. Also had to sacrifice the 12 volt socket on the dash to custom install the sensitivity dial.

Upgraded the radiator in my Xterra from the oe Nissan radiator to a supercharged Koyo radiator for better cooling. Also added an auxiliary transmission cooler.
While process took about 3 hours, and that was without really knowing what we were doing.
Also refilled my wiper fluid.

Systems check before our big SW adventure; Wagan DC/DC charger, Wagan 2K inverter with remote, and never to be without Wagan camp lights and flashlight. Everything works perfect and will give us piece and mind when off grid for an extended period. @wagantech

Finally got rid of those small stock wheels and tires for a set of AEV saltas and some 37” BFG”s.
