It's a 2004 nissan frontier, crew cab with the 6ft bed. I've got a century shell on the back, but two people and a big dog make sleeping in there an exercise in claustrophobia. I may sleep in there when it's just me, but right now we just use the ground tent. I plan to build a set of side by side bed drawers where one can convert to a mountain bike slide for times I have my bike. I don't want to put a hitch mounted rack on because this truck is long enough already. I'll probably start a build thread when I get to building the drawers and some other more overland-y mods. Next step though is replacing the two front catalytic converters. That *should* be the last large maintenance/repair item before she's long road trip worthy.

How many miles does your truck have on it. I may be extra fortunate but I have never had a vehicle that needed a ball joint rebuild. But I have never had a truck with more than 140,000 miles either. I think a bed build sounds like fun with so many options. I like the set up that builds the bed storage on one side and the actual storage on the other side. In the day the bed becomes a couch or seating area and at night just flip the top over to rest on the opposite side to make a full size bed. I hope your cap is the taller type for a little more headroom. Be interesting to see what you are planning and your followup.

Fender flares, my tires stick out a bit and we are driving from Indiana to Maine and back next month. Most of the northeastern states seam to have fender laws.

Like New England window tint laws for vehicles registered in TX.

True, I think they enforce laws of there state on cars with license plates from that state, but I could be wrong. In my state they wouldn't ticket a car from out of state for those kind of laws.

Most states don't. However, when I moved from TX to MA, I was always harassed by the cops for it even before I switched plates. I had to explain how the car came from the dealership this way and I can't remove it.

Wasn't long ago I had this same discussion with a member that was getting harassed because of hit tire size.
The cop was being a real Butt Head with him. He has already registered in the new state and had a vehicle inspection and passed but the cop told him if he saw him driving it again his ass was mud.

That's the problem. A few cops think they write the laws, not enforce them. Gives the majority of police, who are awesome people, a bad rep.

If I remember he said the cop told him his truck was to high. I told him he should air down.

If it's the DJI phantom 4, I strongly suggest the $130 "care package". I crashed mine on the second flight testing auto-home feature and have had 4 "Intelligent" batteries just stop charging

I guess I wasn't to far off on that thought and I was just joking. LOL, Thanks for the video.

I plan to pick up one of these in a couple years after I get tired of my C7. Not overland related though :D

Some Adams medium clay bars and some detail brushed from prime days. Oh and a Baja Design dome light

Just ordered a 2nd set of ORCISH Recovery Boards off E-Bay. The sale price was great, and on this 2nd pair I put in a bid instead, which was accepted for $65.00 with free shipping. So for a price of $134.90 (69.90+65.00), I will have 2 pair (4 total). That is only slightly more than most of the comparable offerings out there for 2 of them. As you can see, tethers and a bag are included.

EDIT:
UPDATE.............2nd set arrived today...07/13/19, 2 days from order to the front door......NICE.....surprising SAT delivery by Fed-Ex

Just received my set of LITEWAY boards. No bag or tethers, but plenty strong enough. $45 and free shipping from ebay. At that price, they are almost disposable.
