I need to get rid of these take-off parts, not prepared to ship. I have listed locally in Reno, Nevada as well. Maybe someone needs these? $400 OBO My local Craigslist ad with photos

Sorry for the delay, I just saw this. Calipers say they are 32 mm.

Yes. the AHC is doing great. I am REALLY glad I kept it. For reference, the current suspension setup: - Stock AHC system, refreshed fluid, NO sensor lift. - Aftermarket torsion bars - Swayaway - waaaay beefy. De-indexed to maintain proper AHC pressure at stock height. - OEM-style King rear...

Thanks there. Just finished a 4000 mi trip that included a lot of highway cruise, several 4x4 camping excursions, and a detour over Corkscrew Pass in Colorado (not enough time for all of the trails in the San Juans, but man it was amazing). The LX killed it all, with a fairly decent load. I just...

Since this is a pretty stable SUV body, I'm not concerned about major flexing between the bumper and rack (I'm NOT rock crawling, and have no intention of bouncing the bumper off something). In the case of something strange happening with major frame flex that translates to the bumper, I would...

Towing at last! The airbags are working out awesome for both direct motorcycle mounting as well as towing. Been running between 2 and 35 psi depending on what's going on. I did some basic checks with Techstream, but my rule of thumb now is checking to see how easily the AHC goes into H mode...

I'm still loving my PS rack. Here is the ~3000mi report: - noise: nothing noticeable until I pull back the sunroof cover. I have a funny super-high-freq harmonic at ~80mph forward airspeed that is related to the light bar, probably need to tweak some gaps on the front. Typical rack device...

that's looking pretty balanced for sure. What spacers, and what are the downsides in this configuration (or, overloading configuration with tall/skinny)?

I was in the same boat as you, OP. I also chose to stick with it for the reasons suprarx7nut details. I am close to having mine "set up", as I've gradually been adding weight to the vehicle and modifying stuff. My modified config so far is not as dynamic as "stock" AHC with no cargo or armor...

I am very interested in this. My plan is to go 255/85-16 soon. Weight is good to know. The other thing that is needed to know is number of sidewall plys. I've run tall/skinny on my Xterra for 3 sets of tires (235/85-16), and LOVE the handling on and off road. I frequently air down to 16 psi. I...

I'm interested to see the ladder general design. I was planning on making some side ladders over the winter, bolting to my 4x4Labs bumper and the rack. I'm also thinking of a tilt-up solar panel on gas shocks.....anyhow I love the rack so far!

I just did my plugs at 102k mi, partially in response to @2001LC 's extensive reporting on this. - 2 plugs on the driver's side were leaking a little gas (browning of the boot, slight staining of the aluminum around the coil seal) - all plug threads were slightly rust-colored (gas staining I...

Been working in more mods.....added the list to date in the OP. This weekend has been suspension work: Firestone air bags and SwayWay torsion bars. The airbags will be great for overloading with AHC in N position, won't help much in getting AHC to H position with a full load, I suspect. The...

After a few months, I just fired up the same virtualBox instance, but TS wanted a new serial number. Pasting the original back in didn't work, so I simply reloaded/reimported the original virtualBox image with TS installed, it took a minute or two, and then I was right back in business! You...

Found a set of 4 locally, could use a spare or two.
