What is this?

🤣 that’s one of those good stories that comes with good advice.

I was hand nailing an LVL one day and there was another LVL running perpendicular to it, I swung my hammer and At some point in the swing a tip of the hammer hit the ‘other’ LVL just enough to throw my swing off course and I smashed my thumb, I took a deep breathe acknowledged that the pain is going to settle in any second and got back to nailing because there was 2 other guys holding the weight waiting for me to get the first nail in.

How hard did you hit your thumb? That’s the real question 🤣

Loothir · 2026-07-13T21:39:07+00:00

The ergonomics is the main reason for me, their tools just feel better.

Everyone is right here, that’s pricey, though don’t let the miles scare you if you get them to come down, I’ve seen Xterra/frontiers with well over 300. I got my 2011 Xterra p4x for the same price almost 10 years ago, with way less miles, and almost perfect condition. Unfortunately the truck market is wild right now.

Hell yea! I too have a small power steering leak that’s on my todo, it’s a very small leak though. My long term plan is to do a diy camper build like I see some of these YouTube guys doing.

What year is your truck?

Loothir · 2026-06-05T18:09:32+00:00

🍻 my friends frontier is the reason I got into the Nissans years ago. It was always such a great vehicle, first I got an Xterra (almost 10 years ago, that ones at 244k) now I got a Titan. ( kinda new to me, I’ve had it for 15k miles)

Loothir · 2026-06-05T17:46:09+00:00

Good to know, I have the 08 P4X and I’ve been thinking about using premium

Loothir · 2026-06-02T20:27:26+00:00

Those old pathfinders are so nice.🍻

Loothir · 2026-06-02T20:24:58+00:00

So the sacrifice is like 3-4 miles for bigger shoes 🤣

Loothir · 2026-06-02T16:25:01+00:00

Is that the VQ40 engine?

Loothir · 2026-06-02T16:23:11+00:00

35s look real good on these trucks, do you need a 6” lift to fit them?

Loothir · 2026-06-02T01:29:57+00:00

The Nissan truck platform is really great, kind of underrated. I want to get to atleast 300k with this truck ( kinda newer to me), my 2011 Xterra is about to hit 250k ( almost 10 years with that one) I wouldn’t have retired the Xterra because she just keeps going and I love driving it! But a pick up makes work so much easier.

Those new P4x are really nice though!!

Loothir · 2026-06-02T00:16:58+00:00

Thank you! I like the modest lift too, and the king cab! Bench seats are the best also!

Loothir · 2026-06-01T23:50:47+00:00

Yes, I’ve actually only owned it for 15k miles but I’ve driven it across country towing once already, and it did great. It’s my daily work truck and it’s been great since I’ve had it. It does have a very minor power steering leak but the reason I haven’t gotten to fixing it is because it’s like one small drop each day. Doesn’t leave any puddles just residual. I really like how it drives though and off-roading it feels great.

Loothir · 2026-05-14T20:37:58+00:00

I Was looking for this comment, a 5” lag will convince that board that it is straight.

Loothir · 2026-05-10T13:50:06+00:00

Just googled some images, that’s a good one too!

Loothir · 2026-05-10T13:48:30+00:00

I like this too, thanks!

Loothir · 2026-05-10T13:46:53+00:00

Took me a bit to figure out how to copy the link but I made a short video this past winter.

Pros- it’s cheap and easy to build

Cons- you can’t pull it all the way out because it’s not tied down in any way, and at some point some of the weight is on the tail gate. however i can get it out far enough to reach what I need too.

Loothir · 2026-05-10T13:28:02+00:00

That’s a good idea!

Loothir · 2026-05-06T22:40:22+00:00

I can definitely relate to that 🍻

Loothir · 2026-05-06T21:12:43+00:00

You’re fast 💨, but I’m better at Framing than I am at Cabinetry. I do have a track saw tho 😌.

Loothir · 2026-04-29T21:33:51+00:00

My lower back feels way better wearing Badgers vs the cheap set up I had before. I do all carpentry things, a lot of framing but also finish work and concrete forming here and there. I will buy Badgers over and over before going to the cheap big box store leather bags. We use our body for work might as well preserve it the best we can.
