  1. They were installed by Advanced 4x4 in Salt Lake City.  Not sure if they’re from Aluminess (the rack is) or a local supplier, but I bet they’d work with you.  Ken Garff Nissan in SLC may also know the source. 


  2. We picked up the van a couple weeks ago and I just started putting in the mats this week.  More of a pain trimming the holes for the seats than I anticipated, but they do fit and provide really good coverage.  One thing I don’t like is that there’s a lip between the three pieces, so you don’t end up with a seamless look.  Makes sense for folks only installing the second or second and third rows (for retaining spills and debris), but it doesn’t give it a totally clean look.  I also would have liked an option to have the holes pre-cut from the factory, as my trimming skills topped out in second grade.  If I had it to do again, I’d go more slowly and make a template. Another drawback is that the OEM covers for unused seat anchors no longer fit, so if you’re running a seating arrangement with seats removed, you’re left with some unsightly openings and dirt traps.  (Anyone have an alternative to the Nissan floor plates?) 

     

    Overall, quality and coverage is good, and it’s about the only option out there unless you go completely custom.    I’ll try to post some pics in the near future.


  3. Just got back from the tire shop where I found out that my Motiv Offroad Glocks (18x9, 18mm offset) are too thick at the mounting pad to work.  The tech was only able to get 4-5 threads engaged.  Found one similar post in the forum that solved the issue by using extended shank lugs, but I’d rather not swap out the lugs.  Anyone have recommendations on a black wheel, 18x9 with 18 or 20mm offset that they installed with no stud length or thread engagement concerns?


  4. Thanks for the lead!  I’ll go poke around and find it.

     

    I liked the package from Ken Garff and Advanced a little better, including some of the options they offered.  Spendy, but by the time I pieced it all together on my own, I figured it was worth the one-stop shopping.  
     

    I’ve spent a lot of time out west, but haven’t driven cross country in 20 years.  Last time it was with a mountain bike on the back of a Wrangler, so this should be an interesting take!  Looking forward to it, but I haven’t decided on taking the northern route or dipping more to the south yet.

     


     


  5. Waffling on the tire choice now - considering the Yokohama Geolander GT015s for a better road ride and longer life, at a lower price.
     

    Also, thought I was in the clear with 275/70R18s and an 18mm offset, but it seems like some people have had rubbing issues.  When I was first on here, I saw a pic of a shimmed door using some stainless washers.  Can’t seem to find that now - can anyone point me to it (or other shimming pics/descriptions)?  Searched for a while and just came up with casual mentions.


  6. Thanks crusty.  I figured they weren’t updating the marketing info after the NVP was discontinued.  The video I was referring to was from a family with an NVP, not weathertech itself though.  Not sure if I can link it, but if anyone’s interested, just search Legacy Outdoor Family Adventures, Tank gets an upgrade.


  7. We just ordered a 2021 NVP SL and I’m looking for some all weather mats to cover EVERYthing.  Up front, all rows in the back and the cargo area.  Saw a video highlighting Weathertech’s mats for 2019, but their site doesn’t show anything for 2021.  Does anyone know:

     

    1.  Will the 2019s fit a 2021?  Any changes to the floor pan since 2019? Or,

    2.  Any other all weather mats out there to cover everything for a 2021?

     

    I've searched here and tried my best Google-fu, but I’m coming up empty.  Sent an inquiry to the dealer and Weathertech.  Will post any new info I come across.


  8. Just put in our deposit for a 2021 NV Passenger with Advanced’s 4x4 conversion from Ken Garff.  Should be ready in a month or so.  I’ll post details on our pick-up and drive back.  We live near Portand, ME and plan to fly out to Salt Lake City and road trip it back.  
     

    Stock photo attached, but ours will be similar.  Arctic Blue metallic, rack and ladder, step rails, 3” lift, black out.  Keeping the stock wheels and tires for the drive home, but plan to upgrade to black wheels with 275/70R18 General Grabber ATXs once we’re back East.

     

    It’ll be a family adventure bus, mostly.  Lots of hiking, biking, camping and skiing for us (2 kids, 3 large dogs, and 1 lap rat).

     

    More to follow as the adventure unfolds.  I’ll post a question about mats in another forum, and keep that updated if I find what I’m looking for.
