--UPDATE 11/12/13
Ive put the micky 33 tires back on. alaska finally have snow!
not much mod now. just about 300lbs of gravel bags in the trunk for better rear traction.

Well winter is really a drag....
I'll be doing Isr mod , diff breather and try to change out my o2 sensor this following week.
O2. Sensor does look way rusted out. I'm thinking it's the original one

Thanks guys !
I've been thinking.and am going to hold off for the SAS for now.
Just out of budget and wouldn't need "sas"
For now during the winter, just little add on mod and tune up mod.
Other day I got 8mpg . ...:
Yikes. .. Well 33, snow, cold weather , and with all the extra sand weight in the bed... I guess that's what's causing it.
Going try to change the o2... But mines look really crap rusted now. Hopefully it'll come off without a fight.
Btw... Need ideas to rig Up the back door on my topper, locals in town can't order it and says try plywood...
Any thoughts ??

The PVC pipe didn't work ,went to the muffler place and had them bend a 80 degree pipe. Works much better, I fell like te 3" runner boots are sealing it right enough. Maybe cause it's was 0 degree out side and the froze to their shape already.
So far this is what it looks like. Installed Two cone breather instead.

Also got my two Nissan breather nipple form the dealer ,$6.50.
Well get those in sometime.

Miles @17,901 new O2 sensor installed**
After much fighting yesterday with the two rusted out bolts on the sensor, i finally for them out today , sprayed tons on PB blaster and used a full size vise grip and the wouldn't come out.
Today it worked by removing the darn heat shield and i bought smaller size vise grip. TAADAA.

whoahhhh FIRST wheeling trip..in the snow!!! alaska way
HI , went wheeling yesterday with four other local mates, had a blast. and learned a few things.
First thing, a winch is a must!! self recovery is very important, i got stuck once, the jeep came in :}
zuk coils sucks in wheeling, great for tire clearance on road, DD comfort , but when its off road, they provide no flex. will be doing something different not he rear later….
all in all, the pickup perform well, baja claws tires were amazing.

Nice skid plate ha ha. Your truck sounds great!
I want to take my truck up to the snow, but with the long bed I have, zero weight is over my rear tires and it kicks out even in the rain. I blame the tires quite a bit too, I hate them, no side traction.
