Local Apparent Friday

Yah I'm familiar, having worked on wooden boats. Tough stuff to work with, from a tooling perspective! What size battery did you end up installing?

Torchbeams are great. We did full LED conversion as well, but purchased everything via amazon. Word of caution; if you swap the turn signals to LED, they will fast blink and there does not seem to be an easy way around it, as the relay is built in to the BCM. You can supposedly add resistors in-line on the lights themselves, but I cannot directly confirm.

'15 with 100k miles for 25k in Kansas via facebook.

250a alternators are readily available for these as well, for anyone that wants/needs the power.

Ironwood, huh? That'll be nifty to see. Good luck on the build, looking forward to following along.

Baller! Safe travels and welcome to the club! Congratulations.

I did a full engine swap on mine without removing the trans, cooler, or radiator. If you read the service manual, they tell you to remove all that crap, but it's unnecessary. Any decent mechanic would have been able to do it without, thus cutting the work short whilst still being able to bill for the allowable hours.

So I had a P3 on another vehicle...important to note that that controller wants to be mounted level and plum, unless they've updated it. This was an issue in the van that I had it in as there was no flat, level place to mount. For rear susp I went with sumosprings, very similar to what you linked. Easy to install. No contact when van is not loaded. For LEDs, I went with torchbeams on sale on amazon...ABSOLUTELY worth the upgrade for the $40 or so bucks For roof rack, there are lots of options...some dude drives around the country installing them and everybody that has purchased really likes. AmericanVan has a galvanized unit that is cheap. Avatar has one available if you have a kidney to sell. For fuel capacity, here is a thread where a guy had custom tanks built and linked the shop where you can order. No idea what cost was. Swapping stereos and keeping existing equipment is easy these days...crutchfield is a good one stop shop, albeit expensive. Good luck today! - laf

That's awesome! Have fun and good luck.

Yah they are not giving you much on the trade because the car market has fallen apart on the back end, they are just trying to squeeze as many sales as quickly as they can before consumers realize it, but they aren't going to be paying much because they know they'll lose out on anything they are holding very soon. If you have the time and patience, you'll do better with a private sale IF you are at a cash price or working with someone that is still willing/can still get financing. As for your choices, the 2019 has the 7 speed trans, BUT that engine is known to have issues so make sure you get a decent warranty. I'd be trying to get them to warranty it FOR 100k, not TO 100k. There's a couple posts here about ppl that have had to have nissan swap in a new engine and it's mostly been a nightmare. I corroborated that with facebook posts and the engine issues are common enough, whilst the level of difficulty in dealing with nissan varies. Most but not all I have seen have been under 100k though, so if you go that route, I'd try to negotiate them on the warranty if possible to stretch it out. As with anything, the engine replacement is not universal...there are many 17+ owners cruising around without issues. The '16 has the older engine but it's only a 5 speed...mileage ain't great either way so, all things equal, I'd buy the 4x4 and then go over the conversion to double check everything. 117k miles is, more or less, just getting broken in. Keep us posted either way and good luck. - laf

No problem, good luck.

So. To my knowledge, the site doesn't currently allow an easy way to resize. You have to do it yourself either by manipulating the original image, manipulating the code itself, or by linking a thumbnail. Imgbb is one such place where you can upload your photo and then select "html thumbnail linked" from the embed codes, if you are not able to manipulate the code yourself. The "days won" metric is a measure of who received the most post likes in any given day. - laf

Bumper sensors are typically not going to have a full 180 degree sensor angle. I don't know specifically the angle on the NV, but if you were to put the socket equidistant between two sensors, it should be great. That is where I would try to put the mockup that Crusty recommended.

@Zachary Welcome! Would that be Missouri, Virginia, or a different Springfield? What are the details on the one you're buying? They giving you a warranty? You mechanically inclined enough to go over it yourself? Sounds like it's a great fit for you guys.

Answer as little questions as necessary with the dispatcher. Base year, make and model is enough for them to get a truck on the way. The guy in the truck isn't going to care, in 22 years of AAA membership, I have only had 1 driver that was in a AAA truck and not just a contractor. That being said, we have both AAA and Good Sam as well, but its because AAA RV wouldnt tow our bus because it has special requirements they can't meet.

Times are not normal. Saw a '19 on the lot today (regular high top cargo) with 73k miles as-is for 41 before TTT. On the plus side for buyers, everyone I know in the auction world is saying that the auto market has already crashed, consumers just don't realize it yet. Bad news for sellers though. I would think that this would be niche enough to continue to command a premium, though. Glws

What a nightmare for you. Sorry to hear that the saga continues...hope that the end result is a new engine/tranny and warranty. Best of luck.

Hey no problem at all. The console remove is pretty self explanatory, but the cup holder requires removing the glove box to get a single screw that holds the inner kick trim, to the left of where your ankle goes. Best of luck.

Where'd you source the images? If you link, I might be able to trace it from that. Thanks Also where are you? Blueridge suggests relatively local to me.

@mghoenig are these basically all 4 pre and post cat sensors? How much are you asking for the rears and for the full set? Ty and welcome to the forums. - laf

@Wild Wyoming is likely long gone @Hijinx47, but try facebook marketplace. Van seats can normally be found there reasonably priced. Best of luck and welcome to the forums. - laf

These are bolt in, just choose whether or not you currently have armrests. I'm not familiar with the Ps but, if they have a front bench seat then yes, it would also be directly compatible. https://www.discountvantruck.com/nissanjumpseat/nissancenterseat.htm

Changing the oil tonight at the 5000 mile interval ahead of our travel this weekend. Catch can is a little more than half-full of oil. I'm using the dipstick to mark the level. Catch can is 400ml not including the wool. I have dumped it at this point, and anticipate continuing to empty it every oil change.

Luxury dealerships have to offer that bc they are always broken and in the shop. ? No emissions here, although we'd pass everything except CARB in our current config, at least for just a little bit longer. ? Oh and the dealerships here have some kind of crazy warranty that covers everything, but you have to buy it ahead of time. My Mom has it on her truck...so far they've put in a $1900 driver's seat and an entire transmission at no cost to her. Pretty neat.

No...was planning on going, but we had family visiting from FL that opted to stay and wait out the storm, so we've been entertaining and having a grand old time. Headed back to the racetrack this weekend.
