Price dropped to $500 plus shipping.

Sold it. Have a Ford Raptor on 37s now! Custom links and panhard rod are still available.

I reviewed old emails with Tyler. He set everything to stock lengths. No idea what the total length extension is though, sorry. The panhard can be extended without removing from the vehicle, so whether used with a drop bracket or not you have options to get things centered. I also discovered that I paid $685.56 for these in parts and Tyler did the labor and paint free. So $600 plus shipping would be a more reasonable price. Dean, I am glad to see you are still around. I remember you on these boards more than a decade ago!

Oh, and Colorado!

The links were built to stock measurements. The panhard rod is 37" from center of bolt to center of bolt at its shortest and is adjustable to longer lengths.

Yes, I am bringing this thread back from the dead. I never installed my set and my R50 is long gone. So brand new. Who wants them? $500 plus shipping (and these things are really heavy).

Tyler ran 35x12.5, however he had 2" AC coils plus 4.5" spacers and did a lot of cutting. That is a lot of lift. On mine with 2.5" spacers and 2" AC coils I had to do a lot of cutting to get 35x12.5 to fit. Also required some massaging of the struts up front. And putting in longer rear bumpstops to prevent contact when flexing. I have aftermarket bumpers front and rear so I can't tell you how much trouble stock would have been. Backspacing is of course part of the equation as mentioned above. And tire width. IE 34x10.5 probably would have fit easier than 33x12.5 Good luck.

I found a pamphlet that says the rule for Missouri is "For 1996-2000 vehicles, three or more unset monitors will result in a test failure. For 2001 and newer vehicles, two or more unset monitors will result in a test failure." When the scangauge says "not ready" that doesn't tell me how many monitors are unset right? IE I might only have one missing and therefore could get it smogged now?

More than 2 months ago I got a P0440 error code. My wife had just driven the car and filled up the gas tank the day before, and the gas cap wasn't on very tight. So I simply reset the code with my scangauge. The error code has not returned. The problem is my scangauge still reads "not ready" after two months of driving including following a generic drive cycle multiple times (as closely as possible on public roads). And I'm due for smog/registration ASAP. Any ideas? The cycle I followed is below. I remember a few years ago it took a long time before the readiness monitor was reset after fixing an O2 sensor, but this is just ridiculous. The OBDII drive cycle begins with a cold start (coolant temperature below 122 degrees F and the coolant and air temperature sensors within 11 degrees of one another). NOTE: The ignition key must not be on prior to the cold start otherwise the heated oxygen sensor diagnostic may not run. 1. As soon as the engine starts, idle the engine in drive for two and a half minutes with the A/C and rear defrost on. OBDII checks oxygen sensor heater circuits, air pump and EVAP purge. 2. Turn the A/C and rear defrost off, and accelerate to 55 mph at half throttle. OBDII checks for ignition misfire, fuel trim and canister purge. 3. Hold at a steady state speed of 55 mph for three minutes. OBDII monitors EGR, air pump, O2 sensors and canister purge. 4. Decelerate (coast down) to 20 mph without braking or depressing the clutch. OBDII checks EGR and purge functions. 5. Accelerate back to 55 to 60 mph at half throttle. OBDII checks misfire, fuel trim and purge again. 6. Hold at a steady speed of 55 to 60 mph for five minutes. OBDII monitors catalytic converter efficiency, misfire, EGR, fuel trim, oxygen sensors and purge functions. 7. Decelerate (coast down) to a stop without braking. OBDII makes a final check of EGR and canister purge.

Yes, combo of SFD and AC coils. The rear carrier was done by a local shop. The rear bumper and sliders were by Richard Z. The front was purchased from KMA, I had a poor experience with them and posted a few years back describing it.

For me ABS works fine with 33" tires. However, the stopping distance is noticeably worse between the bigger tires and added weight from bumpers skids sliders etc. Be sure to adjust the load sensing valve in the rear, search 'LSV' for instructions.

Haven't installed the links yet, they are still laying around. Car time has been taken up by some other projects lately.

Anything you can do with an R50 Pathfinder can also be done with a QX4: My newer tire carrier: Link: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/244407

That sure looks familiar!

Looking good. I like how you did the rear spacer.
