Memorable Peacock Flats Trip again

 

Thanks for organizing it Miles! Awesome time!

 

Looks good! I miss wheeling with yall!

 

Miss following this build on CF. It's NC336, Nate. What's up buddy.

 

We miss you too! Come back to us!!!

Wow you got a Taco??

 

Nice pics Nate!!

 

Yeah traded the Frontier for it. Wanted a 6 speed really. Mid travel goes on Friday

 

OP need to update your sick build page

 

More importantly...when's the 4x4 conversion?...

 

Update is a little way out, but just for Rick...

 

Takes a lot to get me to like a frontier. Keep up the good work and I'll let you know when that happens... J/k pretty slick rig!

 

Ummmm. Update and

 

So for my update... I upgraded to a long travel setup in the front in November, and converted to 4WD in January. Just wrapped up revalving the front shocks!





The only difference between the 2wd and 4wd transmissions was the output shaft length, and the tail shaft housing. I didn't want to have to source the shaft and housing, then still have to install them, so I just swapped transmissions






The bulk of the work took two and a half days



I decided to swap my old valve body into the new transmission as a workaround to reprogramming the TCM



Nothing like a good old ATF shower...



Shock tuning! Love the LT, I can get the shocks out (only by 1/4") without taking anything out! Just have to jack up the truck



Used a friends fancy spring compressor to remove the coils







I drilled and tapped a new 4-40 bleed hole
