Not a Fronty, but I have 2 Xterras (08 &11), both with Duratracs. There is a slight amount of road noise, but not objectionable. I have not had any problems with cuppping or increased noise, but I rotate them religiously and I think that helps. The tires on my 08 have abut a year left on them...

There is a clickable link at the top of the first post that takes you to the site with the prices (just found it myself)

beautiful truck.

I seem to remember someone mentioning that when I was at GONE. The person who brought it up, said why (to their knowledge), but I can't remember the reason.

Have you looked at Nisstec? Nissteclifts.com A lot of people in the Xterra community use them (I have)

Are there any tools that you feel were a waste of money? Did you go out and buy something for your trailer project and it didn't perform as advertised or just ended up nit being needed? Thanks again for all the replies.

To answer some questions... I plan on leaving the tub whole and to extend the tongue a bit. I want a lid (haven't decided on design yet), and to build a frame outside the tub to mount a RTT on with lifts for the RTT (keep it low while traveling). The metal is really in pretty good shape. I was...

After a lot of reading, I bought a M416 (really good condition w/ minor surface rust) to turn into a off road/overland trailer. My question to all the DIYers... What tools did you use throughout the project? Good/bad ones? Were there any you felt you did not end up needing? I have plenty of...

Not any I can think of. X to S is mostly interior trim differences and exterior appearance items. There will be a difference in the rear axle and gearing if you get a manual trans vs the auto in the X and S trim levels.

I'm looking forward to following this build. Very jealous.

Those are some great pics and it looks like it was a good time despite not making your destination. SpecV- I think Illinois has Ohio beat in the "boring place to live" department.

Not mine and I don't know the person. If I had the extra money sitting around it would be mine:drool: https://chicago.craigslist.org/nwc/cto/d/jeep-expedition/6339623006.html

I was admiring the build the other day. He has it listed here. http://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/175721-2016-Chevy-Colorado-Diesel-4x4-Overland-Expedition-Vehicle

Then I stand corrected. He had it listed as a custom from a fab shop near him. I don't want to put the name of the shop since they may have not done the original work- I do know they fixed the frame issue which is why he may have it now listed as custom from them. Chris is on his way to the...

I'm not sure that was a "Chinese" trailer. It looks like ChrisHaynesUSA trailer (he's on here with that screen name). It looks like his trailer and him in the pic. I seem to recall the A frame of the tongue broke where it was welded to the main part of the frame. I remember when he broke it (was...
