Hi all, I recently bought a second hand set of Simex Extreme Trekker Centipedes on Black steel rims. They are 31 x 10.5 x 15 on 7 inch steel rims. They fit pretty well and only needed removal of the rear mudflaps to ensure they didn't rub. I can get a rub on the fronts when on full lock and hitting big bumps. They transformed the Pathy off-road but where noisy on the black stuff. I likened the noise to having an angry bees nest in the Pathy I haven't done much to the vehicle with regard lift. The front bars are cranked up to equal the rear height. The tires also fit well under the factory flares.

Thanks dude. The fact that it all hangs off your battery is the main problem, but also gives you a single point to start the search. I have always used the motto "keep it simple stupid" when doing mechanical/electrical mods to any of my vehicles. I was crazy enough to strip back the unnecessary wiring out of my old race car back in the 1980s when I didn't have a wife and kids to soak up my time. I then re-wrapped back up with the original tape (tight (|) I was) and behold the floor pan was full of unnecessary wire. It simplified any further mods or repairs and saved a bit of weight. I couldn't believe all worked first time. Less is more!

Hmmm...can't tell without physically tracing where stuff goes. The two black connectors are factory but the rest is anyone's guess from this angle. I wish I had a picture prior the dual battery install for you. I have a 1994 Aussie TI which may be different anyway. There wasn't anything on my positive battery terminal except the two big connectors. I added driving lights and an alarm which are the fat and skinny red wires you can see in my pics. Everything else connected to your battery I would consider aftermarket. Easy way to find out is to trace the wiring back to its destination or disconnect all but the two factory connectors and see what stops working.

OMG Dude! Your battery negative side is OK of course What we did (Being the 4wd place under my watchful eye) was chop off the positive battery clamp. A stainless nut and bolt was used to connect it in line with a fat power cable to the Redarc isolator. The lot was then insulated with electrical tape and sits neatly under the cruise control unit. This keeps battery connections to a minimum. Conduit, heat shrink, and stealth can make any job look neat.

Hey Enkrypt3d, I finally found the full size images and have uploaded them to Photobucket. Here they are for bandwidth killing pleasure

Awesome, Thanks for your help RedPath88

Hey RedPath88, I have no idea why Photobucket is no longer allowing my pics to be viewed. They are all still there! I haven't had a chance to photograph the N13 washer bottle as yet.

Hi all again. I have fitted another neat mod to help with fitting all under the hood. I used a Nissan N13 windscreen washer bottle in place of the large factory washer bottle. It still comes with dual squirter motors so I can wash both back and front windscreens. I had to use the N13 wiring connector for the rear motor as the Pathfinder connecter has parallel spades instead of a T configuration. It was easy to crimp male spades on the end of this and plug them into the original socket. I bought some cheap galvanized strap from a local hardware store and made a mounting cradle and self tappered the lot to the inner fender. At least I can now get cheap after market washer motors when these finally wear out. The N13 washer bottle also doesn't seem to be a brittle as the Pathy's. I have saved several inches of space, but lost a little water capacity.

Finally figured out how to get images on the forum. Here you go guys.

Hi guys. I just had a dual battery system installed into my Oz 94 Pathfinder TI VG30E. All this fits under the hood. The summarized version is: Redarc battery isolator mounted on driver's side inner skirt forward of cruise unit Deep Cycle battery in original battery position Pirahna battery tray in place of carbon canister mounted on passenger side inner skirt. Standard battery mounted on this battery tray on passenger side. Moved windscreen washer bottle closer to firewall Cable tied carbon canister to rear of new battery tray Two sockets mounted through rear luggage compartment tail light inspection covers Another two sockets mounted either side of the centre console for rear passengers If anyone needs photos or a referal to the fitter please let me know. This setup is very neat.

Hi Dave, I am from Greensborough, Victoria.

Hi all, I have just joined the forum. Have had my 1994 Pathfinder TI since new and have enjoyed it's off-road prowess in many places around Oz. Catch up on the forum soon.
