I need to rent a vehicle for the first week of April in the Spokane/Idaho Falls area. A Pathfinder would be preferable. I've got an r200a Lokka up for trade/collateral. Probably a set of Warn manual hubs as well. Cash is always an option. LMK ASAP.
I was able to get a wrench on there. The torque measurement would have to come from the head side unless you use a crow's foot on the nut side. Not sure how that would throw off the torque reading though. I hate to say it, but a lot of mechanics give up on the torque wrench unless you're working on engine components.
You'll want to hit the New River trail before it rains. It can get pretty bad with new ruts and when New River washes out. That can also lead into Sheeps Crossing if you want to make a day of it.
Late to the party, but the 12x1.25 is in a few places on the WD21. Lugs, front tow mounts, rear body mounts and t-bar adjusting bolts. It might even be the same thread as the UCA bolts, but I'm not sure about that.
The rear shocks should be longer and it would also help to remove the rear sway-bar. Removing the front bar just makes it wobbly and the travel doesn't ever go beyond stock in the front with IFS.
Shocks should be identical as well. Frame to LCA measurements are the same for D21 and WD21. There isn't really a "Lift" shock for the front end on either one. The overall travel doesn't change. The rear is where you can really get the "flex" after you remove the sway bar.
