Yeah laziness won out on that one. 😅 If I was gonna be getting under the truck I would for sure be using jack stands though.

I guess it depends how much time you plan on spending on road vs off road. The solid rear axle on the land cruiser is still a more rugged design better suited for off roading. While the Armadas IRS provides better comfort and handling on road. But now more than ever I believe the Armada is considerable competition for Toyota especially considering the price differences there will be in the used market.

Yeah still have it! 😅 gonna be going through a whole refresh with it this year on the channel.

Ahhh that makes sense, I was like theres a lot taken for being such an obscure car.

Yup pretty much all down to crap fuel 🫠

If you keep it around 10psi of boost you don’t need any supporting mods. If you go to 15psi it runs into fuel cut so will need bigger pump and injectors for sure and along with that goes engine management of some kind.

Yeah definitely looking at the grid MFD and was looking at the Crank seats but ended up picking up some knock off Nismo seats locally that turned out pretty nice.

There was someone that was making similar arms for the R51 but haven’t heard anything recently about it.

@Garage23 I haven't seen anything on that, would be nice, but thinking either swapping in a solid axle out of an Xterra or Armada swapping the rear suspension.

Hard to say, could just be the lock out plate on the shifter adjusted incorrectly. Other than that you’d need to get the case off at least and inspect the forks and rods for binding.

@@EYE_SPIDER It sure did! Thank you 😁

Awesome! Nope all stock except for an air filter.

It is pretty easy, the only part that can really give you a hard time is the clutch fan and shroud. Once you get those off it’s pretty straightforward

I have also heard some varying reports of the look of the turbo but thankfully fitment and performance has been pretty consistent. Like you said it’s kind of hard to criticize a turbo in this price range 😅

Believe it or not Nissan didn’t change anything suspension design related on armadas until this years 2025 model. So they will fit all Armada and Q suvs

@Garage23 Nice 👌 good to know.. I got some off road light on the way. I will start looking into this from you guys soon.. also, it's this a full kit front and back or just the front only. Thanks in advance.

The 4WD models are very capable out of the box so the basics are just 35”s a suspension lift and control arms which on the cheaper end will set you back around 3500$

@Garage23 thank you

I don’t think it does as the GTR rear bumper is wider but I can verify that later today.

That was my plan also until I came across this deal.

It does ! 😬 🤣

@@Garage23 broccoli head culture strikes again, most people don't know the tiniest bit about EFI to realize that intentionally causing combustion in the exhaust is very bad.

Never seen so much collateral damage 🫠

Let’s hope it stays that way 🥲

@@Garage23 but... its content lol

🤣

First time I’ve seen the entire rod exit the block 😅

One of the bolts for the case is inside the shifter access panel, that’s the only thing I can think of.

Hopes and prayers 😅 usually with a blown headgasket you get a mixture of oil into the coolant, combustion pressure into coolant or combustion pressure into crank case, it wasn’t exhibiting any of these issues so we just fixed the hose. The fact that it no longer overheated after the repair also reassured us that the heads were fine.

💯 she was a pleasure to work with start to finish 🙌

Glad it helped you out 🙌

Thanks! They’re actually duraflex circuit flares but I modified them quite a bit.

@@Garage23 what is your instagram? any shots of the car from the back?

Yeah I agree not the direction I would have gone but it is what it is. There’s great improvements but gonna have to wait for it to depreciate 60%

The 2024 generation seem to have a lot of electrical gremlins, particularly with the infotainment system. But other than that it's a good option. The 2025 looks very promising just with the mechanical upgrades over previous years. The turbo V6 also should be pretty solid as Nissan has had great success with the GTR, Q50RS and new Z, i still prefer a V8 in a truck but many automakers are moving to turbo 6s. The only drawback i see is the air suspension but that should be fairly simple to upgrade down the line.

I have a 2023 Armada and I have crazy electrical gremlins in the infotainment system.

Yes this was the Detroit Axle brand. Been great so far, only thing I’ve noticed is the steering is a bit heavier than before. Not sure if due to rack being set up tight, or possibly new tie rods with less give. But overall very happy with it.

Thanks!!

Same on my Altima 😅

Yes RS model (rubber bushings)

Hey thanks for checking in! Any suspension lift that lands you around 39” of ride height at the rear fender on 35s would probably be best as that’s what ours happens to be and that’s what they were designed around. A bit under or over is fine as I tried to allow the oem eccentric bolts to have a usable range again as opposed to just being maxed out.

I really want to remove my steps also but I’ve noticed a strong correlation between that and seat cushion longevity 😅 really need to work on some rock rails

@Garage23 my seat already had a tear.

On the schedule for winter now that it’s not a million degrees outside in Arizona 🙌

Pretty much 😅 still have no clue why my ecu won’t start the same engine

Yeah there’s definitely still some things to iron out but we’ll figure it out. As for the EVT, currently it doesn’t seem worth the amount of work for a single digit gain but we’re gonna look into using a 7gen harness/ecu and see if that’s feasible.

​@Garage23 that's what I'm planning for my 4th gen maxima 😅

Nice! I’m going the G37 route with my Altima 😶

The problem is the dash harness has to be modified as well for the newer style gauge cluster and that’s not easily removable. So you’d be left with no gauges.

@ i dont mind repinning the dash harness as ive done it before for the i35 speedo.

If you feel comfortable addressing the cluster then we can definitely build you the engine harness.

For sure!

Yeah those wheels looked a lot better than I thought
