Just released, Dobinsons now has their now famous IMS Suspension Kit available for the newly released 2022 Nissan Frontier D41. This is a huge deal, as getting product development done in a timely manner has been really hard over these past few years, but with this new truck fresh out on the market to replace the 16+ year service of the D40 Frontier, this truck couldn’t come at a better time!!

In addition to having the IMS struts and shocks already available for this 2022 Frontier, there’s also an exciting new extended travel front IMS strut offered for this truck, and it also suits backwards on the D40 Frontier (2005-2021), R51 Nissan Pathfinder, and Xterra models (all years). This is what Nissan owners have needed forever, as any lift of 2″ or more was really pushing every brand of strut out there and everyone would be riding around with the strut at full extension, riding like crap, and also having absolutely no down travel!! With this new IMS45-50648, anyone wanting to run a proper 2.0-3.0″ lift can finally do this properly. The only catch is that you must run aftermarket UCA’s to get the full travel out of the strut, as the stock UCA’s will be maxed out from the ball joint angle in them.

With 3 different coil options for the front and 3 different leaf spring options for the rear, you can lift your 2022 Nissan Frontier with whichever level of lift or spring rate you need!! If you’re trying to save some bucks and don’t want to change out your leaf springs just yet, you can order up the Quick Ride Suspension Kit, and add a simple 1.25″ or 2.0″ block and U-bolt kit for the rear to gain some height quickly and not have the added expense and work of changing out the full leaf pack. 2022 Frontier Lift Kits are here!!

What else is new for the 2022 Frontier Lift Kit options?? How about the first application for the brand new Dobinsons Billet Aluminum UCA’s!!?? Everyone knows that Dobinsons focuses a lot on Toyota suspension in the USA, but in Australia, the Nissan market is huge for Dobinsons and it makes sense to go ahead and build these new billet aluminum UCA’s for this vehicle platform, as it also suits all of the D40 and D41 vehicles, so with 15+ years of vehicles on the road that can use these new arms, it makes a lot of sense, especially since the classic Dobinsons Tubular UCA’s weren’t offered for these Nissans.

After our recent visit to the 2021 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, we met with the folks from Overland Vehicle Systems (OVS) to check out their full product line of Rooftop Tents, Awnings (of all different sizes), recovery gear, cargo management, and a variety of cool camping gear. This full product range has something for everyone, and the quality on these products is as good as it gets. What sort of awning do you like? A traditional roll out rectangular awning? A 180 degree awning, or perhaps one of 2 different style 270 degree awnings? OVS has it all covered, and on some models, they can go on the driver or passenger side too!! We have been working hard by adding all of their products to the website, making sure to add as much detail as possible to answer all possible questions right there on each product page. Check out all the awnings and related products here: https://exitoffroad.com/product-category/camping-equipment/awnings/

Nomadic 3 Extended Roof Top Tent – White Base With Dark Grey Rain Fly & Black Cover, Black Aluminum Base, Black Ladder

Back onto rooftop tents, there are soft and hard cover versions, 2-3 person and even 4 person rooftop tents now, and some even in different colors. There has never been more variety, and once again, all of the OVS tents are feature-rich and made from the best quality materials. Remember folks, what you’re paying for isn’t just the item to be used a few times, it’s all intended to be used for years and years, over and over again. Only with high quality materials will a folding rooftop tent last that long. Oh, and don’t forget about OVS’s 4 YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY too. No one puts that strong of a warranty on their tents and awnings unless they know that they are made of the right quality parts from the get-go!! Check out all of the Rooftop Tents and related items to them on this page here: https://exitoffroad.com/product-category/camping-equipment/rooftop-tents-camping/

One of the awesome categories that OVS offer is their huge range of canvas storage bags, cargo bins, and cargo boxes (also known as storage drawers or roller drawers). This full line up of products of all different sizes adds a great variety of solutions to store your gear properly in the back of your truck or SUV when hitting the trails, going camping, or hauling the kids around town. Everyone knows that canvas bags are really the only way to go when carrying heavier things like tools, spare parts, or recovery gear, and OVS has every size and type you can imagine. Make sure to look at each bag, as some are specific for tools, some are super handy for camping-specific gear, and some are more universal to carry whatever you’d like. Check out the storage bags.

It’s no surprise too that OVS offer a few different size plastic storage cases for you pickup truck owners out there, and with these portable solutions, you can simply load up your camping gear into your truck for the weekend, then unload it easily when you get home and not worry about hauling that extra weight all over town when you use the truck for daily driving. Check out the cargo boxes.

And finally, the permanently mounted cargo boxes (roller drawers, storage drawers, whatever you’d like to call them) from OVS. There are 2 types, one has the added features of an additional work station, which is like an extra cutting board, that comes out once the drawer has been opened. And the standard drawer doesn’t have that. But at a great price per drawer, you could buy one, or both. You could stack them one on top of the other (bolt them together and to the floor), or mount them side by side on the floor for a flat top surface to carry the rest of your gear. These black powder coated cargo boxes look neat, are extremely functional, and also quite affordable compared to some other products on the market. Check out the standard cargo box here or the premium version with the added work station here.

Next up, there’s a full product line of recovery gear. Straps, ropes, hard and soft shackles, receiver hitches, snatch blocks and rings, bags, tire repair kits and gauges, rapid tire deflators, and so much more. There’s basically everything you could need for a vehicle recovery right from one brand, and once again, all of it is excellent quality to last for many many years. Modern recovery equipment is so much lighter than the old style straps and pulleys from the old days, so do yourself a favor and read up on what OVS has to offer now. Saving extra weight on your overland trip is a goal most of us have, so check out all of the options here: OVS Recovery Gear

If you’ve read this far, congratulations!! You’ve probably already seen that a lot of OVS gear has a little tag on each page marked with FREE SHIPPING. That’s everyone’s favorite addiction these days, so be sure to take advantage of those deals while you can, because that could disappear at any time. We are offering Free Shipping on a lot of OVS items for a limited time to help bring these awesome products to the market.

Dobinsons IMS Monotube Shock Absorbers are designed for next level performance over Twin Tube Shocks in those hot, harsh, demanding conditions. By utilizing the Monotube design, Dobinsons IMS Shock Absorbers are able to resist fade far longer on corrugated roads, long or hard working 4WD trips, towing or racing conditions.

The larger 50 and 60mm high flow pistons reduce internal pressures, reduce the heat generated, transfer heat to the body for faster cooling and offer improved damping performance and vehicle control at higher shaft speeds on rough terrain and during big impacts. Threaded bodies on struts allow for fine tuning of height and offer further improvements in cooling.

The micro-polished, hard chromed and heat treated shock shaft, CNC aluminum high flow race inspired piston, and DOM seamless tubing body provides the ultimate in performance and off-road durability.

Composite piston wear bands and a race style 3-stage sealing system offer the lowest levels of friction whilst maintaining durability and longevity. Dobinsons team of engineers spend hundreds of hours of testing and tuning the shim stacks and damping characteristics in each IMS Shock to ensure a balance of comfort, handling, vehicle control and offroad performance – Enjoy the ride

As many of you are aware, shipping situations worldwide have been horrible over the past 18 months, with ports shutting down, ships getting stuck, people unable to work, and a lack of containers physically available to fill. This has all lead to a massive shipping cost increase, and inbound shipping costs to the USA from Australia have more than DOUBLED over the past year. Not only the shipping cost, but the amount of time it takes to get a container delivered has virtually doubled. It used to be about 6 weeks, but now on average it’s 11-14 weeks to get it in.

As a result, it is now necessary for the price of each tank kit to be raised by $150 per kit. This is simply to cover the increased inbound costs, and is not a product price increase for additional profit.

This pricing change will be put into affect on Monday September 6th (Labor Day), so be sure to get any orders you are considering in before that day!!

Don’t forget that Exit Offroad offers free shipping on all Long Range Fuel tanks, a cost of $200-300 usually.
