Shoot ... I consider myself a "car guy" but, I still get confused easily when it comes to metric tire size. Then again, I am 40 and bald so ...

Is it a Nissan or Toyota?

Stayed in the family unscathed ... priceless! Welcome to NPORA bud.

Jeez .. are you prepared for the worst? Would you consider another Pathfinder if they say "Nix it"?

Yes, yes. They walk amongst us. *sigh*

Eeeesh! I like the "take it home and scrap it" suggestion if they deem it unrepairable. At least you have a plan and documentation going in. Good luck!

Make sure that the springs are seated in the perches and that the rubber spring isolators are in place?

That seems like relatively low mileage for the dreaded "death wobble". My 99.5 is 400 miles away from breaking the 200k barrier and has no such symptoms. Who knows? Different climates could be the difference. Was your Pathy a northern transplant maybe? ... oh, and welcome to NPORA!

Howdy neighbor. Great introduction! Welcome to NPORA and to Nissan ownership.

I'm with the other guys here about buffing out the heavy stuff. Besides, I can't tell from your photos if you have the regular white paint or the "Polar Ice" white that mine has. I'm sure that if yours is like mine it would be in the thousands of dollars to respray because of the dual clear coats (two different metal flakes). I was a little shocked the first time I pressure washed La Blanca and discovered very minor body damage and "South Carolina pin stripes" all over her. I shrugged it off then and it still doesn't bother me. I have street cred when I park next to showroom quality mall crawlers.

I have enjoyed reading this thread. It is so cool that you will have a diesel Terrano in the land of gasoline powered Pathfinders. Good luck on your trip. Sounds like you have a great family.

If you could smelll the burning, I'd start by using a flashlight and closely inspecting the wire harnesses under the dash.

IIRC the power steering rack is different. I have a preface lift Infinity QX4 rack on my 99.5 LE that works like new.

I truely must remember to point these questions in your direction Fleurys. I'm still thinking "old school" when it comes to the R50.

I have the AC 2" springs, KYB struts and Rancho RS5000 shocks. I had a friend help me install everything myself and saved some coin there. I also installed the Warn Premium hubs to save my CV boots and slightly increase the fuel mileage. I don't wheel my Pathy anymore but, I did have success in some mild rockcrawling and a ton of trail riding. Hopefully this helps you a little. Here is a link to my build .. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/30077-devonianwalks-995-r50-stock-to-lift-pics/

I'm 6'2" and a lean 180lbs. My only complaint about my sweet little Japanese roadster is pulling up at traffic lights with the top up. I have to lean forward in my seat to see when the light changes.

Now I have a direction to go with my CJ-5.

Funny you mention that. I just went over there (didn't know about the FB page until this thread) and was amazed at the ignorance being posted. That page really should be moderated or deleted. Talk about giving "us" a black eye.

I have been a member of a couple of forums that have "given in" to Facebook. Like Boot just stated, this forum is very organized and is user friendly thanks to the moderating team. Plus, I don't care to know any one's workout schedule or pics of their cars thermometer when it is hot out side.

That makes two of us. Ever consider a Miata?

Rocks, rocks, trails, rocks and a little mud. No more of this heavy crap vvvvvvv

Welcome over neighbor! What was up with the UCA?

Keep up your standards. Something will surface. Have you gone down other avenues other than CL?
