  1. There could be a misunderstanding. When shifting from 4H or 4L to 2H, is that the same as going from 4WD to 2WD? After shifting from 4H or 4L to 2H without disengaging the hub, is then driving in 2H different from 2WD? Carefully reading the instructions above from the manual implies this. I believe I found the answer to the question. In the owner's manual, reading further under the note with the instructions to unlock the hub. This implies that driving in 2wd with the hub engaged can be done, but not suggested. For clarification, isn't it necessary to drive in reverse 1 meter to completely disengage.
  2. I will start with the easy question. How does the 4WD on the WD21 compare to 4WD operation in vehicles from the same era? What about in comparison to 4WD in vehicles today? Has anyone driven a 4Runner in 4WD from the same era? I know this question below has been addressed in other threads, but not to the extent below. This question requires careful reading. 1) When changing gears from 4H or 4L to 2H Is it necessary to disengage the hub in order to be in 2WD? There seems to be an assumption that is not necessary. The user's manual for the 1994 Pathfinder actually contradicts itself regarding this with the instructions to go from 4H to 2H (and 4L to 2H). On the one hand, the manual says changing from 4H to 2H can be done at any speed. This implies that it is possible to be in 2WD without disengaging the hub. Then there is a note below that statement that says. There could be a misunderstanding. When shifting from 4H or 4L to 2H, is that the same as going from 4WD to 2WD? After shifting from 4H or 4L to 2H without disengaging the hub, is then driving in 2H different from 2WD? Carefully reading the instructions above from the manual implies this. 2) Assuming shifting into 2H from 4H or 4L is shifting into 2WD, how much wear and tear is there on the transmission from not disengaging the hub? 3) I can't think of any scenario why a driver would not disengage the hub when going from 4H or 4L to 2H? Why not take the few seconds to disengage the hub? Maybe a driver would go from 4WD terrain to 2WD terrain, then back to 4WD terrain. If so, why not just leave it in 4WD short term and not risk wear and tear on the transmission from driving in 2WD without disengaging the hub?
  3. The users manual does give instructions for manual locking hubs. However, according to the sales brochure I have every 4 x 4 trim that year has automatic locking hubs.
  4. No. In America, charging more for a vehicle for a color is rare. But I have seen some vehicles cost more for a certain color.
  5. Thank you fellas. There is a good group of guys on this board. It seems WD21 owners as a whole are pretty good people. I like it. What happened to the caps on the wheels? Did someone steal them? Not sure what the market would be for those. Maybe sell the to the person who owns the truck they were stolen off. That is about it. I would like to to see that picture. The WD21 I am considering has alloy (a.k.a lego) wheels. I really like the look of the 31 x 10.5 x 15 tires on this vehicle. It looks like that is a good size tire for the frame.
  6. I should have included 93. That would be great. As many different trucks that I can find. XE is OK, but SE is preferred.
  7. Yes. XE. I guess if someone factored in the higher cost of the SE, it might make sense.
  8. I am shocked SE is getting over one third of the votes. Who wouldn't want the upgrades?
  9. Thank you for those pictures. Does anyone know if the "Safari Edition" was sold in America?
  10. Someone in another thread has a 1995 Pathfinder that was labeled "Safari Edition" on a sticker on the vehicle. What was the Safari Edition? He was Canadian, so I do not know if it was available in the United States.
  11. Does SE stand for Safari Edition? The cloth on and SE and XE for the 1995 are noticeably different. There are two videos below. This video is of an SE. Beginning at the :55 second and 1:52 marks is when the cloth seating can be seen in detail. This is the 94, but the cloth is the same. Is this the same cloth? Or is this the cloth beginning at 2:43.
  12. What brand or product is made as well or better than it was in the past? Very few?
  13. Interesting. http://www.autoweek.com/article/20120302/CARNEWS/120309977 YouTube has a lot of Datsun commercials from the late 70s early 80s. They are a trip to watch.
  14. Are you the original owner? How much major work was done?
  15. At first, I didn't care for it, but it is growing on me. I like the sleek look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpTE_Hwa5Xs&feature=relmfu In the video, the show Pathfinder designs from the past, but not the WD21. They probably didn't want to show the contrast.
  16. I know the price is outrageous, but is there any benefit to having a Nissan dealership change the oil on a Nissan? What about other makers? I now Mercedes requires it to maintain their warranty.
  17. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ycCSj3FNxPE How do I embed a video? I selected the "insert media" icon, but it did not work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=ycCSj3FNxPE http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zDaNn1D4dJc
