I dont tow at all. I want a C rated tire. There's quite a few sets on race dezert but they are all in So Cal. :bangit: I might be making a road trip for some cheap tires! lol
Youll be good then. Only thing is there only speed rated to 85 not that it really matters but they get a little funny on you over 90
 
Guys im looking at getting some upgraded shocks for my Titan. What is ya'lls opinions on Icons versus Sway-a-ways. The reason im asking is im here soon going to be putting in an order with Greg. I wish i had the money for the Midtravel kit but honestly i dont and i want something to suffice till then.
 
I have the Open Country MT's. They are E rated which is why they are so heavy. I'm sure that the Open Country AT is significantly lighter.
My bad...meant to compare A/T's to M/T's.....Thanks...

I can't to get rid of these Toyo's. I had all but one of my studs sheer off today and almost lost my right front tire!Luckily a school bus stopped in front me. If it hadn't I would have lost the whole wheel at 50 mph. Right after I started to go again the wheel started wobbling really bad but I was able get off the road and stopped before it came all the way off. Apparently I need to torque my lugs a little more frequently!
 
Ya My truck was on the side of the road from 3:30 yesterday afternoon until 10:00 last night. I had the front wheels off about 3 weeks ago and my local Big O tires had them on so tight a big IR impact wouldn't touch them. It was definitely a sh!tty day! lol I had to go to 2 different dealerships in PHX before I found 6 studs.
 
put chevy studs in...they barely fit but will press in and are longer and thicker. i have used them on my truck for over a year now...got them at autozone too.
It would have been nice to know that yesterday when nobody in my town had studs for a Titan! lol It was my fault. The lugs came loose and I thought I had a wheel bearing going bad. :bangit: It should have been the first thing that I checked.
 
Anyone know the psi of the stock studs that Nissan use's?
Although I don't "know", they are a highly stressed fastner and have to be an 10.9 or 12.9 rated bolt. A 10.9 is about the same as a English Gr 8, while the 12.9 is a little higher.

Gr 8 Min Tensile:150,000 psi
10.9 " " :150,800 psi
12.9 " " :176,900 psi

Does that help?....
 
Okay they are not performance or suspension updates, but I did a few little things lol

I powder coated my skid plate Satin Black, my inner fender wells black, Got new head-lights with black housings and none big tow mirrors black and black door handles. I still need to do my beadlock rings black and get my vinyl done, but those will have to wait till after xmass.
Oh' yeah, I had to get a new windshield installed today, freakin rock made a nice 3 ft crack across the driverside lol

Dude!!! that looks NICE!!!!!
 
pgthe, we must be thinking along the same lines. i just finished installing those same headlights about an hour ago. i too have also been thinking of blacking out my skid plate.
check the bulbs before install... I had to remove one because the bulb wasn't on tight and i got that rapid flash.
I had my skid plate coated twice to make sure it was think lol. they also gave me a little bottle of touch up paint just in case :)
 
i switched the bulbs to the silverstars i had. i attempted to put the factory high beams in but they wouldnt fit. also, the body pieces that attach to the bottom of the light wouldnt clip in either! i had to use nuts and bolts instead because the plastic clip didnt pass all the way through the hole.
