Well got everything back together after replacing a valve cover and she is running and driving again! Gonna take some getting used to driving a lifted pathfinder...I currently have no sway bars on it gonna see how it does and I may re add the front

Is removing the front sway bars really THAT big of a difference driving one road??? I was considering taking off mine.

It definitely takes some getting used to...tomorrow will be the true test I'm driving on the highway

Looking beastly! Got a lot of rake there I see. Which springs did you use in the rear?

Yea its weird sometimes there looks like a lot and sometimes it looks like none...I used the 6.5" wj lift coils

Did you end up putting the front sway bar back in? With the IFS there really is no benefit in removing it. If anything, it should help prevent damage to components that are very sensitive to abuse. The front doesn't do well with flex. Plus I think it will be unsafe on the road, especially on a lifted Pathy. If you ever had to swerve hard to avoid an accident, it's hard to predict that it will handle how it should and who knows what could happen. The rear however can go. I've removed mine permanently and never looked back.

Where'd you end up welding to? I feel like the attachment tubes may be too long...if the truck were to rest on the outermost rail, that's a lot of leverage at the mounting point. If it doesn't cause damage there, it seems like it could pin up against the rocker panel, no?

Yeit is a pretty good name! Works perfect with the paint color. Will it be getting any cool stickers to match the name?

I need to get a sticker never thought of that but now I'm definitely going to
