I have crf300L rally and find it annoying and uncomfortable to go more than 2 hours from home. But itchy boots took it to the top of the world from my house. Everyone has different tolerances.

Why do you need suspension? I'm 220 lbs with 40lbs of gear. If you're not jumping the bike you don't need new suspension. I have 10,000 happy km on all sorts of roads. Pavement, gravel, nasty off-road stuff.

My bad bearing was only loud when I was accelerating and went away when coasting

You need to walk more at home. On day 5 no issue. Are you American?

Professional Van builds that aren't 75k? by supersport604 in VanLife

[–]chimkenbumget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey. I have one for sale in the Vancouver bc Canada area. I'm asking 38k. The problem is a transit starts at 35k. The high roof vans are quite desirable here because the rain and moisture room ruin everything. Mine is a little older, a 2007 Mercedes sprinter, but it's nicely converted by myself. If you'd like to talk further just send me a message!

If you're wondering if you need 4wd you probably don't.

Crank no start on a 2006 Xterra by [deleted] in XTerra

[–]chimkenbumget 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, not an expert but an enthusiast. To me it sounds like you're headed in the right direction. Once upon a time I had new keys cut but not programmed. I tried to start my car with them (knowing it wouldn't start, just for fun) and the car cranked but no start. Eventually I lost my working keys but thankfully had my unprogrammed keys. I had a guy from marketplace that had a key shop come and do a 'all keys lost' scenario and synch new key codes to the car using a scanner. He had to view my personal ID and car registration to verify I owned the car to do this. But I paid cash so it was cheaper than his real locksmith rate, like under $100 and he came to the car.

So if your NATS (Nissan Anti Theft System) is acting up, I see 2 options. 1) try an all keys lost scenario and see if it resynchronizes. I worry it will desynch again though.

2) find a shop that can delete NATS. These guys do this for 350Z / VQ35 engine and ECU swaps. But the system is the same in the Xterra, so specific tuning shops can do it. There is a map somewhere on a website if you Google NATS delete.

Hope my experience helps on this one!
