Deep into the Richland Creek Wilderness Area, AR

Steve, I’ve got your link & aluminum mid skid. They fit well & do the job nicely. I particularly like that they are aluminum and, consequently, maintenance free. It would be nice, however, if there were horseshoe bolt protectors welded in front of the bolt slots like on my RCI skids for the 4Runner. Another nice touch is to overlap from the front to back so there aren’t any edges to catch if you’re sliding along the skids (you can see that in the photo below as well). Your skids do this from the front to the link, but the rear plate has a forward facing edge. Finally, turning up the sides increases the skids rigidity. I would buy your rear skid if the shipping weren’t so unreasonably high. It’s like AC, it’s tough to stomach shipping that’s a significant percentage of cost of the item. In AC’s case, it’s clear shipping is just another profit center - is yours just the result of size, weight & import duties?

The post speaks for itself. What a ridiculously good looking WD21, and I couldn't believe the price... https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1991-nissan-pathfinder/

time for these maybe ? ? https://sfcreation.com/products/front-skidplate-14-aluminium

+1 on the lawyer screwing this up. The title shouldn't be "Michigan court rules lug nuts don't need to be tightened," it should be "Michigan idiot tries to eat soup with a fork."

Holy heck that's nice!!! But what a sum of money for an old SUV...

I still think of them as the “pound” sign

Forgot to mention the "don't drop it on your toes" part! I can relate on the trailer hitch. I did that at a gas station once and swore loud enough to make the guys at the next pump look uncomfortable. You may need to replace some seals before putting the axle back together if you do take it apart. Again I'd want to rule out the brake first (maybe wearing steel-toed shoes this time!) just to be sure you're not stepping over the easy thing to do the hard job first. Doesn't sound like it's got anything to do with the ring and pinion if it's just coming from the one side. I'd be surprised if the incorrect/worn out link caused much trouble apart from handling and noise, like you said. Maybe the link hammering back and forth could've damaged the brackets, but I'd be surprised if you caused any serious damage that way unless you were really beating the hell out of it. As far as I can see on Rockauto, the left/right arms look about the same, just slightly different brackets, so I doubt having two right arms would've caused damage, probably just made the E-brake cable or whatever hooks onto there more difficult to work with.

Did a full polish and wax, and wow even being a 17 year old truck that paint looks amazing. Also replaced the fuel filter, cleaned the throttle body, MAF sensor, and also fixed the tachometer side of lights. Next is knock sensor, O2 sensor, climate control lights. Then hopefully we can begin on the fun stuff!

did a drain and refill on front and rear diffs, transfer case, and transmission. diffs were still good, transmission was pretty dark, and the transfer case was black... yikes. still haven’t gotten around to the wheel bearings because i still don’t have a jack since our old one broke [emoji1475]. Just btw, I post on this thread more than@buttercup because i’m on the forum more frequently than her. plus i’m the one who does the work on the truck. weirdly enough, her 195k pathfinder runs better than my 135k did [emoji848]

Yea pretty much, just find the hot wire when the reverse lights are on and tap into it. Though depending on how much they draw you may want, the stock reverse lights to switch a relay on which turns your top lights on.
