Two days ago went down to south Jersey for family and to have fun near the beach here's a video of a little couple puddles. Then today drive up to port jervus to the hawks nest. Both nice drives and these rures kick ass in the sand and water. Sent from my LM-G710VM using Tapatalk

Drive by wire does have some difficulty just off idle. I believe I read somewhere, possibly when I was working at the dealership that there was a lot of complaints about aggressive tip-in with the Titans when off road. I think that they had a programing update to change the throttle response when the truck was put into low range. I don't know if anything like that was done for others though. It might be more practical to practice 2 pedaling when crawling. My old 93 uses the old cable throttle but I still find using both pedals at the same time gives better control in some cases where I need more torque, but slow wheel speed. The R50 and most of the D22/WD22's are old enough that the brake signal override is pretty tolerant of applying brake and throttle at the same time.

got the original driveshaft back in.

Added lights at a legal height. The stock ones are around 63" in the center and the state wants <54". Also got the high steer in. Still waiting on the drop pitman to come in.

Took care of the rear sway bar today. Down the road i'll switch to real links.

I too have a '98 and have converted the front to a 2001 after a crash that mangled the chrome front bumper. I ordere both front fenders, bumper cover, bumper reinforcement, grill and hood. What I also should've ordered were the splash guards, mud flaps and fender flares since the old ones don't fit. Looks better, sportier... I got all my parts from Rockauto.com Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

Also check out the wrecking yards that are local to you, usually cheaper. I got a fender for 20 bucks and it was a colour match.

Try this? Looks encouraging. Rockauto has as well but all say out of stock. https://www.carid.com/1998-nissan-pathfinder-fenders/ If you want to feel better about your rust you can check out my build thread ?

Commenting on DBC / TX14 '02 LEs: [mention=39493]02_Pathy[/mention]: A year ago I was spotting for the PNW group at Tahuya. 02_Pathy was able to approach, climb, traverse & descend obstacles with minute precision - a VERY controlled drive. Myself: I've mostly used 4Lo just on rough Forest Roads this year, my last trip I was in 4Lo for long time intervals, however, I would note that I definitely have a linear throttle response. Now that I think about it, there was another R50 that was very lurchy on the same obstacles. I chalked it up to inexperience as he was a new off-road driver, however, I do believe he had an ‘03, which would be DBW, so maybe that was really the issue.

The R50 front grille, fenders, hood, and headlights were given a “facelift” in late 1999 and this was introduced as model year 1999.5. It’s likely that a fender that is advertised to fit up to 2004 models will not fit your 1998.

When you remove the transfer case you will not loose oil. The bay between the transmission and transfer case is a dry bay.

I can say that the drive by cable is very controllable and predictable and in 4lo I can feather the throttle and not lurch forward, I have driven several drive by wire vehicles and the response is definitely not like a drive by cable and in my dad's '19 Trailhawk it is extremely terrible, you keep adding throttle and nothing happens then all of a sudden power comes out of nowhere and you launch Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

We’d be heading up to blue ridge, I heard they got a couple great campsites and trails Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
