    Trailer build project intro

    So I was able to get the frame cleaned up and coated and to find out that my water tank tray is too wide. So today I will be narrowing it, running trailer wires for subframe lights, mounting the reverse and "rock lights", and bolting the floor down. Time permitting I will start the frame for the...

    Nissan FS vs Toyota FS why is Toyota preferred?

    I went with the 5” Procomp due to the crossmember to frame support bars. It definitely helped to clear the 35s, and going to 18 from a 20 wheel helped the ride.

    Nissan FS vs Toyota FS why is Toyota preferred?

    I have had a 2017 Titan for over a year and 30k miles. I bought the base model one slightly used due to the price and reviews of people I know that have had titans with well over 200k miles on them. This thing has vinyl floors and aside from power windows and locks not much else as options go. I...
