Just wanted to reflect over what I’ve learned from this forum. When I joined I was 16 in high school with a stock pathfinder and was clueless. Now I’m 25 with the same pathfinder and it’s about as built up as it can be until I go custom fab with it. Through reaserch and communication I have been able to build my pathfinder into what it is today. I feel that this forum is so much better than any Facebook group or things of that nature. I have joined some of these groups recently and I have found that all it is is people who have no idea what they are talking about making posts and wanting there car magically diagnosed and everyone asking questions about what lift I have or what size tires I have or how many miles are on my car etc etc etc when I have answered the question time after time and made posts about my build info. It made me realize how lazy people are and the lack of reaserch that is performed in order to make your dream pathfinder a reality. I just wanted to take a moment to thank people for telling newbies to go do homework before asking questions, that all the answers are literally right on this very forum and that it’s easy to find and get answers without bothering everyone with simple questions. I now have a coil lift with a sub frame drop, full belly skid plates, supersliders, locking hubs, 33s, and an endless list of other modifications, it took many years of hard work and experimentation but without this forum I would be where I am today. Here’s to those who have walked the same line as me and built their dream with the help of this forum. Cheers.

Definitely happy with the outcome. Got 4” as expected and ride quality as good as everyone boasts. #9448 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here are a few pictures of my r50, I’ll do my best to upload more recent photos, it’s a bit tricky uploading pictures with an iPhone so I have some links below https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10216927979897035&id=1391741976&set=pob.1391741976&source=49&ref=bookmarks https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10213680316827488&id=1391741976&set=a.1266838476360&source=56&ref=bookmarks https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10213609758463573&id=1391741976&set=a.1266838476360&source=56&ref=bookmarks https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10210705632942250&id=1391741976&set=a.1266838476360&source=56&ref=bookmarks

cleaned the maf and installed new tps and all is well for now.

I've always wanted under hood lights. 20 years ago I thought about wiring up my own led string under the hood, but I shy'd away because of a lack of experience with soldering, circuits, etc. Now you can simply buy a strip that's already built and ready to go, so I decided I had no excuse not to try. There are sooo many choices on eBay and Amazon, it's a little overwhelming. I decided to go for one of the more pricey versions hoping it would be worth it and besides it came with the wire and pin switch. Here is what I got: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Underhood-LED-Light-Kit-w-Hood-Switch-Size-and-Color-Options-Available/291157773341?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=590308031148&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 The ad claimed they lights were water and ice proof, sealed in a silicone coating. Ends sealed with marine grade heat shrink. 3M adhesive backing. I bought the 24" version of high intensity white. It has a 10' 20awg black wire and a small hood pin switch. The only thing I needed was more zip ties and a washer. Here is a before pic of the engine bay, in my garage, with the light on. I decided to mount it in front of the weatherstripping because it shined in my eyes less, although you'd really be looking down most of the time so who cares. It might have been protected more behind the weather stripping, but I went for it anyway. I drilled a small hole in the underside of the hood and fished the wire back to the rear corner. I pulled the wire through a little fast and it got in a little bit of a bind, but worked out ok. Next I used an existing hole to mount the hood pin by the battery since the positive would be headed that way anyway. I didn't have a power distribution block and I figured something this small didn't need a fuse. I ended up running the positive wire to the fuse box behind the battery. The negative side went to the pin switch. Easiest wire job ever. From there it was just a matter of zip tying up the wire. For less than $20 it is an easy and awesome mod. And the final result is:

I didn't mean to say alt, I tried changing it but I guess it didn't work lol. Try cleaning your MAF sensor and potentially that EVAP leak could cause issues with the computer saying somethings wrong so it's trying to adjust to that

Add @jax99 to the list of 9448s. I think we got the expected 4" out of them.

Here's one for old-time's sake.

Thanks for your help buddy. I may just do a brace with it as well cause why not. Doesn't hurt
