    [Question] Poor man's top case

    I ended up finding an "Emgo" branded one on Amazon after searching "cheap top case KLR". I'm pretty happy with it for only $65. I really dislike the look of the Givi style boxes. Install was clean and easy.

    [Question] Poor man's top case

    I recently picked a KLR to build for some light exploring and road trips. My wife is used to a sissy bar or padded top case on my ATV. I'm curious if anyone has cobbled together something of a top case with a pad for around $100. The only thing Gargle, Fleabay and the usual scumbags want to...

    Considering an xterra, have questions

    With that AT I would still recommend doing the radiator trans cooler bypass and adding an aftermarket trans cooler. The guide is easy to find with a quick search for 'Xterra Radiator Bypass'. The peace of mind I got from it was well worth the $85 I spent on parts and fluid. Otherwise, be sure to...

    2005-onward Frontier front suspension

    +1 to all this. I have a 2005 xterra and have done the same for the same reasons. However I went with Old Man Emu heavy duty rear leafs and a Timbren brand air helper.

    Troseph's "Sky Loft" - RTT Toy Hauler build.

    Finally gave it a hard shakedown on some local roads. Everything is going great, but big changes to come.

    Don't think it will be as much of a problem for me, the Tepui Kukenam's annex isn't covered entry, like this CTV:

    Harbor Freight Tools, it's really nice for a bolt-on model. Been using one on another trailer for a while. Recommend putting thread locker on the bolts that hold it to the tongue.

    Expedition Trailer and a Conventional Campground

    Yellowstone Grant Village Campground forced me into an RV spot for the RTT on a small trailer. It wasn't fun listening to generators and water pumps every morning and night. I actually got kicked out of a tent spot for the RTT on my truck last summer. I really think it comes down to the camp host.

    Troseph's "Sky Loft" - RTT Toy Hauler build.

    It's a 20mm round can, holds the ammo for the M61 Vulcan: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/1086660.htm The new tongue went very well. I replaced the damaged 0.0938" tongue with a much heavier .25" tube and welded it to the frame. The trailer has about 15 fewer rattles going down the road...

    Ran into some trouble with the RTT ladder while I was testing my stands out. I put some gorilla glue on it until I can figure out a more permanent fix. Mounted a table for my stove under the RTT. Cooking in the annex will be nice.

    Thanks Bob. Jacks and such are on the way, for now I'm using my hi-lift and 4 stands.

    Troseph's "Sky Loft" - RTT Toy Hauler build.

    Tongue was bent by the previous owner. It's getting ditched this weekend. Going for a slightly thicker walled tube. From what it looks like they had something nearly catastrophic happen when the dump bed was attached differently than it is now. I'm sure it's sound but I am going to replace it...

    Troseph's "Sky Loft" - RTT Toy Hauler build.

    New thread - I had some trauma trying to move my original thread, so I'm starting fresh. I picked up this trailer off a classified site for $200, not a bad base for what I want to do. Weapons Check - The whole bed tilts to make a ramp, this will sadly be deleted functionality to sure up the...

    Nissan Photos - post your's

    Not with the Xterra's stock rack. I had to go to the hardware store for longer bolts and some larger pieces of steel plate.

    Wanted: Soft Patrol Style Mud Flaps (Utah)

    I'd like some soft rubber mudflaps with "Nissan" on the bottom. Like these: If you have some take-offs or know a model that had these in the US, any info would be nice.
