I mean, you’re in this deep already, what’s a couple more parts.

I’m sure you’re already aware, but Nisstec carries all of the above plus a large catalogue of suspension parts, bumpers etc.

I actually had one of the Lokka front lockers but never installed it on my Navara. Supposedly that addresses the weakness of the spider gears.

Mod wise I'm TRYING to focus on ones that are difficult to do here on island, while it's up there. The transmission stuff makes sense since there's already "down time" now and possibly the rear ring and pinion since that dark art wasn't passed down around these parts.

Either way I'm in good hands and I know the truck will be awesome
