Hmmm, well i'm sure glad I read this thread.

Oh man, I was really enjoying your post... So sorry about your truck!

I never got close to it when my pro4x frontier was stock.. I wonder how much of a hit you take with the factory roof rack..

Yeah, I looked that up after I made my post. I still lament :P

I have never even gotten close to 22mpg driving highway speeds of 70-75mph. My numbers are 11-14 mpg city and 14-16.5 highway.

Or for it to deflect off of a rock/hard dirt and stab into your tire.

What receiver did you buy, and do you know if it will work with iPad? I'm looking for one for my wifi only iPad, but don't see the need to spend $100 on one if there are $20-30 alternatives.

Yes, what's funny? I wasn't being smart, my reply was in response to Burton... just making sure that the OP, and anyone else who might read this, is clear that the ratings for the frontier and xterra roof racks are not the same.

The weight limit is not 150lb. It says 125 evenly distributed in the Frontier manual. https://owners.nissanusa.com/content/techpub/ManualsAndGuides/Frontier/2016/2016-Frontier-owner-manual.pdf Section 2-47

The cross bars are the weak point of the rack. I believe they are rated at only 125lbs of evenly distributed weight. Unfortunately, I don't think you will find any official statement specifically related to the weight capacity of the main bars. It's hard to say if Nissan is limiting weight due...

Hit 85 miles of trails over the weekend

A lot of people do remove the mud flaps, either because they think the truck looks better without them, or the flaps interfere with the type of wheeling they do. When properly trimmed, the flaps are no longer an issue as far as tire clearances. My front tires now rub the wheel liners on...

What amount of lift do you gain with that kit. I have 2in up front and 1.5 in rear. I run 285/75/16 Duratracs. I have my camber/caster bolts set for maximum caster and neg camber. Even set at max, I still had to trim my mud flaps, which helped with rubbing, but I still have a little in certain...

I use my weber q.. I built a cardboard box to put the grill grate in, and bungee chord the lid shut.

Same here, i'll snatch up a refurb if I see it. I do like that the Garmin can connect with more then one device, other than that, and battery life, it seems to be a wash.

I'm looking for some advice for BT GPS receivers. I have an old iPad 2 (non-wifi) that gets little use, and am looking to use it with MotionX for my backcountry traveling. I don't need anything fancy, just something that works well. I'm currently considering the Dual XGPS150A and the Garmin GLO

If you're going to be in mud much, and still sticking with an AT tire, i'd go with the duratracs. I recently changed to 285/75/16 Duratracs, and am very happy with their off road performance so far. Though it does take a bit of wheel spin to clear them, they do not clog up nearly as much as say...

I have the Jetboil MiniMo and really like it. Being able to simmer, and i mean as well or better than my home stove, really is nice. If you do a lot of camping like i do, you know that it's really easy to burn food to the bottom of your pot/pan with all the rocket/non-adjustable stoves out...

Great build, and looks like you've already gotten some moneys worth out of all that armor. I would have gone with a 33in tire, however. Hope you get years of enjoyment out of it.

New here, and just getting started. I've been piecing together forest roads and trails and having a great time figuring out how to get from point A to point B with the least asphalt possible. Lots of awesome truck in this thread. Was going to post some of mine, but I am apparently not allowed to...
