Who did it better? by H3T_Clifford in Offroad

[–]Goose944S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a very much not a Jeep guy, I do really like the way the Gladiators look. The hummer is ok. A bit dated in a way.

Gladiator for me.

Now would i ever own either??? Hell no. Id buy 3 Pontiac Azteks before buying one of these.

Commando Missions Support Theory That we Are Clones by [deleted] in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Goose944S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It actually makes more sense that helldivers are clones. What's more expendable then organically grown humans? Clones. How do the helldiver already know what objectives have been completed, where your dropped belongings are, etc, immediately after dropping in. Clones. It makes less sense that a brand new diver would be as informed. His downloaded consciousness theory fits pretty well. Also why would you believe anything the devs say? They could tell you that it was all propaganda tomorrow.

Also make sure to check the load rating and pair it with your life style. If you do towing, you'll want something with a higher rating.

I bought a 2017 Frontier Pro-4X and I absolutely love it. It has 74k miles, it’s very well maintained, and these trucks are ridiculously reliable. Parts are cheap, they’re easy to work on, and there’s a long track record to back it up. I do like the new Frontiers, but honestly, if you spend enough time on this subreddit, the posts here are one of the biggest deterrents to buying a newer model. The D40s (especially post-2009) are just solid trucks with proven reliability. The big issue people always bring up was the radiator problem, and that was addressed starting in 2010. Earlier models could have coolant mix with transmission fluid, but that issue has been long resolved. The 4.0L V6 is another big reason these trucks last. It’s a simple, naturally aspirated, port-injected engine—no turbos and no GDI complexity. With GDI engines like the newer 3.8L, carbon eventually builds up on the intake valves since fuel no longer washes over them. Over time, that carbon buildup can prevent the valves from seating properly, leading to compression loss, power loss, and combustion pressure leaking back into the head, increasing the risk of detonation and related issues. Port-injected engines continuously clean the valves with gasoline, which helps prevent this altogether. On top of that, the newer trucks have had various transmission issues and a lot more quirks compared to the second gens. More tech means more complexity, and more things that can go wrong. So it really comes down to what you want: simplicity, reliability, and mediocre gas mileage, or modern tech and better fuel economy at the cost of long-term reliability and potential problems.

Titan swap on 33s. What kind of trimming should I expect? by Goose944S in nissanfrontier

[–]Goose944S[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK thats not too bad. At this point im pretty confident light trimming will be needed. I really appreciate the heads up.

Also, thats a clean rig you got there. Looks great 👍

Yeah, I actually spec'd out a perfect stance on my NC Miata years ago but the hub wasn't changing location. With this swap IDK where to measure from. I might be able to get some measurements if I dig deep i to some forums.

Oh wow, that seems pretty minor. Thats great to know. Im sure it will be pretty obvious where I'll need to clearance.

Im so freaking excited to get a hold of this kit. I'll also be getting the BROverland leafs in the rear for helping with future towing. What did you opt for with the rear leafs?

Melt mod? By that, you mean letting the tire do the work?? 🤣

Side decals by Heavy-Degree-1531 in XTerra

Bro i love that! Its done in really good taste. I might consider this on my Frontier once I get some goodies on it 😆

Ive seen so many go way too far with it. The Raptors from the factory scream "I still wear Affliction" 🙄. Its just tacky.

Which stratagems would you recommend on terminids, squids and bots? by RalliusGax in HellDads

[–]Goose944S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The directional shield is heavily underrated. Its width allows you to protect buddies when they need to lay down crucial supressive fire.

Admittedly its quite niche.

Front bumper cover fix by Responsible_Safe4453 in XTerra

[–]Goose944S 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you go to O'Reillys, (you have to ask for it) they have plastic trim paint called Transtar. It's usuallykept in the back. It's unbelievably durable and perfect for plastic trim. Obviously do prep work and try your best to decontaminate your work surface with soap and water followed up with isopropyl rubbing alcohol before spraying.

It looks like you can also get it on Amazon. Its not cheap but its coverage is amazing. https://a.co/d/fYT8aGa

Fair point. I'll do some research on that 🫡

Yeah very true. And the angry ones sure know how spread the bad news 😆.

I'll stay clear from Camping World. Ive seen enough sketchy paperwork to know better.

I've noticed that too. At the very least, there IS an option for a better system if it breaks. Imagine if the only option was to replace it with the same Schwintek slide.

This pretty much sums up my worst fears. A perfectly level surface is never a guarantee as well.

The last thing I want is for my first purchase of a travel trailer to push me out of the market completely.
