A little help replacing the Calmini Shocks with "Better"??? - 24/05/05 04:58 PM

Hi folks...ive been poking around here and cant seem to find the numbers i need. im hoping someone out there can maybe shed some light.

ive had a 3" calmini lift on my xterra now for most of its life...my mileage isnt the issue its the environment that seems to kill my shock life and the ride quality. i live in the canadian arctic where the ice and snow fly for about 10 months of the year so im constantly having to change shocks because the fluid freezes and thaws so much here.

i need some part numbers for a better quality shock to run on my X with the 3" calmini system. part of my problem here i need to do this thru mailorder so part numbers would really help.

Wow, the Canadian Arctic? What state is that in? :p Just kidding!

Anyone up for a road trip? We can bring these shocks right to his door!

Are you in the Yukon, North West Territories, Nunavut or Quebec?

I would seriously like to check out the first 3. I lived in Quebec for 2 years but didn't get farther north than the Gaspe Peninsula.

alpine spirit...PERFECT!!!!...thanks a ton!!!

XT... smile ...works for me...you'll save me some postage...haha...problem is your going to run out of highway about 1500 miles or so south of here...so the term "road" trip doesnt really apply here...haha

i live in a small town called Rankin Inlet, it is in the nunavut territory on the northwest coast of hudson bay

Exactly the kind of place I would love to visit.

However, I think you are right... 1500 miles of wheeling through tundra and I doubt you would ever see me or your shocks :p

Are you Inuit, by chance?

Good luck with your shocks.
