  1. I got my CV boots outta Canadian Tire which is basicaly an all purpose hardware/automotive/household superstore here in Cold Beer Drinking Canada. Have you actually called any places like NAPA? The easiest way of doing this would be to undo the upper balljoint from upper a-arm or unbolt the a-arm from the frame. If that doesn't give you enough room to take the halfshaft out, undo the lower balljoint from the lower control arm as well. I found that to take the halfshafts off is less than an hour. It's the taking the CVs apart, cleaning them and regreasing and then drunkenly putting them back together takes a bit more time. EDIT: sweet lord man... can you make your sig any longer?
  2. And as soon as you hit a trail, Hitachi and Nissan parts go flying everywhere in a beatuifully majestic shower of metal and oil.
  3. No there isn't. Even if you could get 8+ inches of lift on IFS, what would you do with it? 35" or larger tires? They'd tear apart the front end so fast you'd be shopping for a D44 in a week.
  4. Read this: http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/projects/pathfinder.php PS... auto or manual?
  5. Yea you need to bleed the entire system once water gets into it.
  6. Make yer own NACA ducts sly http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NACA_Duct Or go to a junkyard and find a first gen. Toyota MR2. The side vents and the engine cover (all vented) might come useful.
  7. Get a boost gauge, and crank it 2-3 psi. Nothing more. You should be alright without anything added. If it was me I wouldn't touch it tho. You bought a truck not a race car.
  8. Don't you mean 265/75R16? That would convert to 32" floatation size (metric is that first sizing convention). I am currently running that size on 16x7" wheels. You don't want anything larger than 33"s on an IFS Nissan. Forget about 35"s until you can SAS it.
  9. My buddy has 33x12.5" boggers on his X... he's doing alright with them. I am seriously contemplating getting them for my truck next. 33x10.5r16.
  10. The correct answers are: Don't jump with Nissan IFS You must hate your truck Just how much did you crank yer t-bars? Ever hear of downtravel? SAS sly
  11. Jeep dudes around here seem to like 'em. If it was me I'd just run Boggers.
  12. here's some pics from my slider boot maintenance i did recently... hopefully it helps: http://madmudders.net/mods/fubar_brakes/
  13. What's a "slide pin" if you don't mind me asking? :confused:
  14. Dude... don't mess with stock lighting too much. It's illegal and unsafe. Here's a good link that's really worth while of a careful read to see what to do to actually improve lighting instead of making it seem brighter: http://danielsternlighting.com/
  15. Best doesn't straight up mean most influential. Sure, Thriller was different... and something stupid like 25 minutes long, but it hasn't really stood up the test of time all that well.
  16. http://www.stylusmagazine.com/articles/wee...of-all-time.htm I completely agree with the top five... When I first saw number one vid a few years back I was staring at it in disbelief and amazement. The usual stuff... lot's of Radiohead related stuff (duhhhh... those guys always come up with some amazing stuff)... Bjork and the other usual suspects. Way too much crappy hip hop but that's in the bottom 100. How the hell did they not include "Do the Evolution" and "Brothers in Arms" is beyond me. Also they seemed to include some artists just to make fun of them.... T.A.T.u.? gimmie a break.
  17. She was born in England, and raised in the UK and Canada. She's about as American as Elisha Cuthbert.
  18. and that's where FSM and dial indicator with mag base comes in.
  19. You don't need to pull the axles out. Just take out the snaprings, then undo the two little philips screws and take out the retaining ring by turning it with a pair of needle nose pliers. The hub will come off then. To undo the 14mm bolts you want to wedge a pry bar or something between the wheel studs and then you can force the bolts with a breaker bar. Then you can tap out the disc from the hub.
  20. You need somebody with a TIG... here are some pics: in my buddy's front D44 axle (open diff).... pre-molested post-molestation my rear H233B (LSD).... pre-molested post-molestation It's perfectly fine on the street as long as you don't drive like an idiot. So coast through turns, etc.
  21. I should add that my transmission exploded three days later. Then i put in a Junkyard tranny.... which exploded on the way back from the mechanics.... Talk about a sense of humour failure for next few days. Then I had my original tranny rebuild. Been great ever since. Oh the things I do for my pathy.
  22. My buddy uses hydro assist with great success on his welded up front end and he's got 37"s.... :Magic:
