Canadian Nissan Truck Club

Any idea if a run is going to happen? I have put off washing the truck thourougly in anticipation.

I could swing it. Viv and I already decided grandma will get the kids so Viv can tag along.

The new trailer looked great, Phil! How did it perform?



For the sleep portion and storage it was perfect. The double burner propane stove was a little too good, I wasn't expecting it to heat so quick at such a low setting. The fridge was annoying to pull out, might make a side access slide or ...

Leaving shortly for AW. Did an experiemnt. Hopefully a success. First trip for the trailer too!

Will it be ready for AW?

I painted the boxes the other day. I think I'll be bringing it to AW. On the fence about bringing a ground tent, I still like being able to stand up.

Finished exterior of the trailer. Found my passenger inner tie rod was wet on a really hot day. I think the steering rack will need changing at some point but it doesn't drip when just parked yet.

Imgur won't accept uploads anymore so not sure how to attach a photo now. Is there a direct post from ...

Done! Just waiting on the OF4WD code and will be updated.

We should hit up Minden before AW if you can swing it. I already plan on going to AW, booked my time off already. My son was born on August 22nd last year so was a non-starter.




Yeah that would be nice, I need to replace my fuel ...

[image][/image]My plan is for AW this year, but I need sliders before I do. I`m being picky about the style and they either don't ship to Canada or haven't gotten back to me.I'd do the Coastal ones, but I don't want the kick out.

My truck now has cats in the exhaust, and my Flock gauges are ...

Finally got a sway bar for the rear to run some tests to get the front to cycle more. Just need longer adjustable links. Trailer is also 85% done.

How do we donate for membership renewals? The old link is 404'd. Need to do this before renewing OF4WD!





Paypal seems to have an issue right ...

Must feel like a new truck!

Greased my leaf pack eyelets, only maintenance I needed this year.
 

At 140k kms you are likely in need of balljoints, especially when you don't know how the previous owners used the vehicle. It is unfortunate but a lot of maintenance items are coming do and I doubt the previous owner did anything.

For tie rods only go with Hitachi. You can check for play by ...

Man that would be nice, but doubtful lol! I'll try calling them Saturday. When you coming to my house f***er? lol

Went to take a buddy out for a spin, the passenger seat belt started pulling out fine and then stopped short of being usable. I tried yanking it, it won't budge. The seat belt won't even reach to latch with the seat vacant. Is there a good fix for this or do I need a new spring mechanism for the ...

Still haven't done it lol....work drains me. I'm literally driving home with the windows open at the end of the day so not like I "need" it. Also have the Xterra for the weekend...motivation = 0 lol

Adam wrote:Did you get it fixed yet?

Not yet, maybe this weekend when I have some time. I hope it doesn't get too cold!

The X-Trail seems to be a mis-mash of a bunch of parts. I wouldn't be surprised if the blower motor came from another model. RockAuto has the motor itself listed for $35CAD.

Cross-referencing the numbers say Maxima, but also 2005-2018 Nissan Frontier, 2005-2015 Nissan Xterra and
2005-2012 Nissan ...

For $190 USD you can get an adjustable shackle and that is easy to install but the shipping sucks if you don't have the means to cross the border to pick it up. When your leaf pack sags (and it will) you can transfer the shackle to your new setup and/or rebuild your leaf pack at any local shop that ...
