  1. Thank you very much for the compliments and the warning, I'll have to be careful with those fog lights. Under what conditions do they crack? Is it when the bumper is bumped? In response to your question about the front locker, I actually haven't looked into it very much beyond knowing that my truck has one. It very well could be an Infiniti exclusive feature. All I know is it is there and it works, as I quickly found out the first time I drove on dry pavement with 4wd engaged!
  2. Nice Pathy! I like not seeing any body rust. If I were you I would go ahead and try to touch up the seal. If it doesn't work, what have you lost? It's worth a shot, and if it works it was free.
  3. Thanks! I am looking forward to the build too.
  4. I am sad to see your truck go. It was one of those trucks that symbolizes what is possible, pushing IFS and Nissan to the extreme! I'm going to miss hopping onto NPORA every day to see if you've done any more upgrades!
  5. I will be adding stuff to this thread as I do things with the truck. It won't be a terribly fast build, but stuff will definitely happen.
  6. Hi all! I have had my 2002 Infiniti QX4 for about 8 months now, have been reading forums on NPORA very often since I discovered it, and just today finally decided to make an account. My R50 has the 3.5L engine, an automatic transmission, about 125,000 miles, a locking front differential, and a limited slip rear differential. Also, I am fortune in that it has very little rust, especially for a Michigan vehicle. Here is a picture of it on my very first wheeling trip from fall of 2015. At this point zero mods had been made, bone stock. This was the day that I realized what a capable machine it was. And yes, that is a Hyundai Santa Fe behind it. So no, I wasn't pushing it very hard that day. Since then I have done a couple of upgrades: -Westin step rails (stock parts rusted away so I needed something, rock sliders were too expensive) -Weather Tech floormats -Tail light guards -Reese trailer hitch -Resonator delete This is a picture of it a few weeks ago on my second wheeling trip. Now that the school year is almost over (only 4 more weeks!) and summer is upon us, I hope to get a lot more opportunities to go offroading and enjoy what the R50 is best at. I don't know when it will arrive, but I ordered Fleury's spacer lift a couple of days ago - 2 inches rear, 2.5 inches front, so I'm looking forward to that.
  7. It's too bad you had to give up on Betsy after so many months working on this major update, but it'll be nice to have a clean slate to work off of! The new truck looks real clean.
