No worries on the derailment, I'll need you guys to stay on top of me with the NV! The IFS 4x4 swaps are a piece of cake on that rig, so much room under there for the front diff/etc. We'll give it a bit more attitude of course! D60 with coils.

I very much like the sound of this. ... and I have every confidence that you can even figure out the electronics/sensors to prevent the dreaded Christmas-Tree dash.

hey guys thats my van! if anyone has any questions shoot me a line, the 4x4 was done by advanced, but since then been heavily modified, really wish u-joint was in the game when i was looking at getting 4x4 done to the van! lol but at this point I'm too far into the ifs game to rip it all out and go sas. Local fabricator in alaska (green tree fabrication) worked with King suspension to get my custom sized / tuned remote res shocks in the rear and coil overs up front, had to cut up front strut towers. van really handles ****ty alaska roads great! the front cycles 12.5 inches of travel, getting some king air bumps put on in the coming weeks for added protection from the bad "frost haves" on our roads that can destroy vehicle suspension.
ill try to snap some pics for you guys soon


Gives you a sense of the look, kind of like a Voyager Top like SwissVan. Advanced 4x4 kit, no idea on lift specs/tires/etc;

Hey Chris, do you have any more info on V5s bumper? I love that thing. My wife specifically asked for a front bumper just like it (and we weren't even going to get a bumper 'till she saw it).

Chris, after calling around to a few shops for quotes what are your thoughts on buy a a rebuilt performance 4x4 transmission?

You can go that route but its usually more $.

We made it custom one off as an experiment, will have something similar in production soon I hope.

Spoke to a friend last night that has insider Nissan contacts and he said we can pretty much guarantee that the NV will see the Cummins V8.

This is excellent news and I hope to grab one early next year (or sooner)

Prototype of our RotoPax mount for the roof racks, can be used to mount them either way.
