Hah! While it is rubbing it is loud as hell. But with the flowmaster exhaust, I just punch it and the tire howl goes away. That aside, so far they are not bad. Have not got up to highway speeds with them yet tho.

Well, pretty disappointed in NTB. And, I picked this one since there were several 4WD beasts in the parking lot in various states of repair. Not much interest in actually helping or finding a solution. The only answer was "You bought the wrong tires, stock size is bla, bla, bla..." By the time I got it home the rubbing had pretty much stopped. It just notched the tread as needed. 'bout 1/2in wide, 3/8s deep on the inner shoulder of the driver’s side. I think the next go round I may replace the ranchos and get some 3/4in wheel spacers. But on the other hand... these Grabbers look pretty dang beefy. Pretty good reviews on TireRack, hopefully they perform as good as they look.

I agree. How can I test to see if NTB is messing with me? They put it on the rack and said it is in alignment. They just mounted and balanced the tires as well. Is there a home brew way of seeing if my camber/caster is off?

First post in ages... been lurking for a while now. Here is my predicament - I just got some 265/70R-16 General Grabber AT2's installed. Why would I not rub the strut on my passenger side but I do in the drivers? The struts are Ranchos, but all the work was done to this R50 before I bought it so I dont know much more that that.

Oh, and typically I dont reply to my own posts... But here are some pics, before she gets dirrrty. EDIT: Whoa, yall beat me before I could get the pics up! And odd, no matter what I do, the thumdnail is broke for the middle picture.

Howdy all, my name is Jason and I am a recent pathfinder convert. Wait, this isn’t one of those meetings.... Anyway, just bought my 1st four wheel drive vehicle and I feel like an idiot. I am used to tinkering with my past vehicles that were simple front or rear wheel drive; this is madness I tell you. I am crawling around under this thing for hours identifying parts and widgets I haven’t seen before. Now I understand how 4 wheel drive works, but I guess this is the first solid rear axle that I have stared at in detail before. I don’t remember all these parts on my 2 wheel drive pickup. But to the meat and potatoes of the post... I found what I thought was a steal, a 2001 LE with 58XXX miles on it that appeared almost new with slight caveats. It had a brush guard with the spot lights on it, a skid plate like I have never seen before - the dang things goes all the way under the back seats, Rancho suspension at all for corners (the back are the 9000x series)and it looks like a slight lift. The tires look about 1 size taller and wider than stock. There is Flomaster exhaust out the back, possibly upgraded calipers with slotted and drilled rotors upfront. K&N cold air under the hood, and I would be willing to eat off of most of the engine bay and a Warn locking hub set. That is all I can think of at the moment as far as add-ons, but it gets better – the interior looks amazing. I think the prior owner was more anal about this stuff than I am. All of the stock parts were in the back of the truck as well! Maybe the prior owner is on this board? Anyone sell a Black and Tan spotless LE in St Louis recently? Any other St Louis owners on the board? But all good stories must come to an end... After driving it for several days - I have what I have now found is the dreaded SES light. It was for O2 Sensors... As well as a clunking in the backend, it clearly comes from the left and right side depending on the pot hole. I am starting to wonder if the springs that were replaced are topping out the Rancho shocks installed and that is causing the "Clunk". Anyway, I have alot of reading to do on this forum...
