What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

[WUzombies]

This week I out new Moog progressive coils on the front end, new rotors, new brakes, new wheel bearings, new shocks...new ball joints will go on this weekend.

I was making good progress until my welder ran out of wire. So I decided to cut some of the 2" tubing that is the foundation for the front bumper...then my last cut off wheel exploded. I was using the cutoff wheel because I need a new composite blade for my chop saw. Decided the wheels had fallen off my afternoon and decided to pour a whiskey, with a planned run to the welding supply in the morning.

Finished up the other rear suspension work and did some articulation checks.

Brown Santa brought my coilovers today.

I need to fine tune the parking brake cable routing and locker wire routing, install a remote axle breather, and then build the exhaust system.

Did you forget to make your google photos public? It's just a do not enter symbol for me

Don't let the man hold you back.

Articulation check......

I got my rear suspension work finished. I need to fine tune the parking brake cable routing, e-locker wire routing, and install a remote breather.



And then these showed up.........



And then this showed up! (I haven't installed it yet though)

Garden, what lift do you have. Yours looks like a monster compared to mine. Just curious what you have done

 

[SLO Rob]

@Mad_Garden_Gnome ...That thing is a beast. We really need to head out soon and stretch its legs!

In front -
Fabtech 6" lift for a Frontier / Radflo CO's for that lift with 650# Eibachs / Russel braided brake lines

In back -
Spring Over Axle Conversion - Poly Performance spring perchs & shock mounts
Extra crossmember welded in with PP shock mounts
Deaver Add A Leaf (more like Replace A Leaf)
PRG lift shackles
Tom Woods 1310 Double Cardan Driveshaft
11" Fox 2.0 Remote Reservoirs (you know how bouncy the back of these things get)
Russel Braided Brake Lines


Out of the three evolutions of lift this thing has been through (stock, partial lift, present) this one has the best ride.

She's chomping at the bit, but she wheeled mine last weekend and she picked great lines and really has a knack!

 

[roamingtimber]

Installed front recovery hooks finally! They've been sitting on my work bench for a week.

Man that's awesome. Is that icon suspension? That diff lock is going to open up a whole new world!

The shocks are 11" Fox 2.0 Reservoir. Gen II Xterra's are spring under from the factory, though their counterpart, the Frontier, is spring over. I cut off the factory spring perchs and shock mounts and welded on Poly Performance shock mounts and spring perchs in the spring over position, with an extra six degrees of rotation for pinion angle. I already had Deaver Add A Leafs and PRG lift brackets.
