thanks for the info...I'm ready for some new shoes ...actually still have quite a bit of tread left at 25K miles, but want it for other reasons...

Looking to put some new shoes on the BEAST!
Huge truck looks funny with small tires/wheels and does not do well in soft sand or rain. I don't have a lift on the NVP 3500 SL, 2015 (yet).
Please send any suggestions on wheel/tire size. 17-22"...looking to put on the best AT tires (all terrain) that does not wear really quickly or is not very loud since I do quite a bit of highway driving as well.
size and offset would be greatly appreciated (I really don't want to shim my door so it fits, but it's not out of the question if it's worth it). Best and cheapest site to buy from...etc.
Thanks!
The BEAST!

I gave my rack info a bunch of times on here...makes it custom and is much cheaper than the one in Cali....anyway, I walk on my roof daily. I am a GC and put a lot of sheetrock on there and have had over 15 kids on it eating pizza at a paintball tourney. Regardless, we normally walk between the aluminum slats and have no issues (don't let the kids wear cleats)! ...
I just had two kayaks and two paddleboards up there this week...no issue at all.

I put pics of our seats backwards (limo style)...same way as described above with a clamp. it's just a hair off, but works well and seems very secure. I just need to put a table bracket in for the card table and bar...!

Has anyone found a company that sells front and rear guards? I want the chrome ones, but can probably get creative if they only sell them in black. I'm getting a new grill, so not ready for the full frontal guard. I've put them on all my past trucks, but can't find one for the NV 3500...thanks,
"The BEAST"....!

finally got my license plate... BEAST

you can easily put a pump tank on the roof or a smaller one on the back door.

check out my pics and info on the ladder and rack...all aluminum and looks bad ass!

thanks...I tried "everything" and no one could figure it out. I even extended the wires on the front and it would not work. So, just to confirm. You pulled off the front sensors and just replaced this module so just the rear sensors work (which is way more important) and hopefully does not have all of the false sensing alarms I was having before.

NV 3500 SL, 2015
How do I turn off the proximity sensors for just the front of the truck? I have a bully bar and fog lights and they always beep every time I start my truck. I have to manually push the button to shut it off. I do like the rear sensors though and want to keep those on.
(any way besides cutting the wires somehow)??? thanks.

I have a Nissan NV3500 and want a black bug deflector. I only found one and it's cheap and a pain to install (required drilling). Please leave a message with info if you found one that is good. Can be smoke color. thanks, Cary

hmmmm..any out there that gets rid of the Nissan emblem? it's the last item on my truck that has it (although I put "The Beast" over it in chrome...

I saw that one in person...looks like a commercial rack. Nice and very useable, but not "cool" enough. I want mine to look like I'm ready to go camping, but still be able to put ladders on it for my construction company. thanks for the info though!

FYI...I found a custom fabricator today in Florida...right by me so I don't have $400 in freight charges. Call aluminum or steel fabricators in your area and work with a local guy. I love the $2800 version of Aluminus, but can't afford that for a rack and ladder. I will send pics when done. Chris, the removable storage drawer in the back was bought at Lowe's. I put down some wood so it's more sturdy and it's just 3 levels of space so it's not that high, but holds all of my screws, drill bits, etc...I put a bungee on it so it does not open. it's made of plastic, but works well. It can be easily moved for trips to the Keys, etc...or just fill it with fishing stuff...I also just got my Nerf Bars...got the driver side on and putting the passenger one on tomorrow...so far, easy and looks awesome! much easier getting in and out ....I was starting to think my leather will rub off from sliding out every day!

FYI...I found a custom fabricator today. He is designing me a badass rack like the one for $1800, but a lot cheaper and all aluminum. you can paint it, but there will be issues with it coming off if putting up ladders all the time, etc. He is also designing a custom ladder for the side and has some good ideas. I will be the guinnea pig and take pics once done. He is in Florida (10 miles away from me, so no $400 freight charges) and totally custom. My point, Aluminus looks totally awesome and want it, but not at $2800 with ladder and shipping...you can call aluminum or steel fabricators in your area...work a deal with a local guy.

Hello, I have a new NV 3500 low top truck...love it. I can't find a tube rack (looks sporty looking, but also is functional for equipment, ladders, etc). There is a photo on Google that has the ladder, rack, wheels, all in black and looks awesome. I just can't find where to buy it. Please help if you know where to get them and fit the screw holes.
I just tinted the windows (huge difference), put in a removable storage drawer in the back, and it's looking sweet. Next are the running boards, ladder for the side or rear, and roof rack.
