Try the JY and find some factory manual hubs from a v6 hardbody. I hear they are very good build quality. Just make sure you have the matching # of splines and you should be good to go.

the beginning of the crew cab era from the Jap trucks.
Just curious, what years were these made?
close, they were making them in the 70's

my "wallet" (a bunch of cards secured with a rubber band

swiss knife
blackberry
if I could, I would carry a firearm

those are delicious. i've had them with worcestershire and bbq sauce too

i used to carry a big jug of water with me and after each dirty water crossing, i would shut the truck off, douse the alty with clean water and then spray it with WD40 to force the last little drops out. nismojunky taught me another trick - rev the shiat out of the engine after going through the water hole and it clears a lot of the grime out. Best to carry a trail spare with you and keep an eye on your volt meter. Clear water doesn't hurt them very much, it's the chocolate milk and packing it with mud that ruins them.
if you cant afford a skid plate, at least go to the JY and get a factory splash guard. Something is better than nothing.

there were some xterras that had 4.9 R&P gears. You could use that in the back with a wagoneer 4.88 up front. they should work pretty good for 33's + 35's

i've always wondered what the bacon/chocolate combo tastes like. I did try a PBBCB (peanut butter bacon cheeseburger) a little while ago and it was actually pretty good

Trailchaser! broken mirror and all

ahahahha I think spraying brake cleaner in your snorkel would give you more HP

Toyota did that right with their Land Cruiser
Almost.. they weren't allowed to bring that 4.2l 1HD-T engine with them. We got stuck with the gutless gasser.

Y61 Patrol! Straight axles, diesel engine, factory lockers! what's not to love!?

sounds like you are getting too much fuel. There is a procedure to read the check engine code saved on the ECU. It's in the garage forum.

definitely not black. It looks like that steely blue or dark grey color

So they replaced it with a CAR-50? see what i did there. XD childishness wins again.
i don't know many cars that have a solid rear axle with a 5-link coil suspension lol IMO The rear suspension is what makes the pathfinder a decent wheeler. I doubt they will ever bring that back. They even pussyfied the patrol
I hope they don't change the Xterra(ble) too much. I have always admired the wrangler because they never farked with the original design. It's now becoming the only choice for a good, out-of-the-box wheeler.The new "Pathfinder"/JX looks like a Vezna and probably wheels like one too. Someone mentioned safety-nuts and the EPA for the downfall of capable, durable SUV's. You can add suburban soccer moms, Consumer Reports, "progressive" auto designers, shareholders, accountants and far left-wing environmental activists to the list too.
help us, dududuckling! you're our only hope!! lol

As far as I'm concerned (from a north american perspective), the pathfinder died in 2004.

You can buy the hose by the foot at most auto part stores.

Here's a good deal on a console from the states:
and Dowser, you can use my console if you don't have one already, there is the replacement cupholders:

does it get worse when you let off the gas OD? show me a picture of the truck, how high does the rear end sit?

hi william, i had 33's with and auto trans and 4.625 gears around ontario a lot. As long as it isn't too windy, and you gas it down hills, you get decent mileage out of that setup. As soon as it gets windy, the truck might have to drop a gear to keep up with highway traffic. You don't want it buzzing away on the highway too much because it drinks fuel and heats everything up too much. It was fine on the trails, but if you get into the harder trails around here, you might want the 4.9's instead. Basically, go wheeling with what you have and figure out what would work better after.

I had the factory super deep console with two flip down cup holders in my truck. They worked pretty good, but if anything dribbled, it went all over everything else in your console. They worked great up until my buddy's dog trampled them one adventure weekend.
tungsten, you have obviously never commuted to work for any decent amount of time. It's the most annoying thing to be missing from a vehicle. I dunno, i guess the japanese never had to drive their vehicles very far. ask any canadian commuter (especially ones from southern ontario) they love their coffee with a drive to work. :coffee!:

here's pezzy!

look here are a set that might be still for sale. I don't know if they will fit your truck so check that out first

If you have a junkyard around you, a lot of 80's + 90's nissan v6 pickups have factory manual hubs which are very nice as well. Count your spindle splines and make sure they match before you buy them though!
