I can finally report that the power valve screws are done turns out none of them were missing or loose, but I locktited them anyway to be safe. Even though the job seemed like a waste of 4 hours, at least now I have peace of mind. Going to be taking a long road trip soon, so I’m glad I know for sure that they won’t be falling out when I had it running in the garage to confirm that I put everything back together properly, I noticed a faint squealing and it turned out to be an idler pulley not putting enough tension on one of the serpentine belts, so I tightened it up and the squeaking stopped. Very happy I caught it before it shredded a belt because that same thing happened a few months back on the other belt

I’m so excited to take it out on some trails Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think there is a random picture thread yet. Every other forum I'm on has one of these... No particular reason or theme, just share what you got. I'll kick it off with some of mine from today:

Guess I have enough pictures and stuff to start a thread for the Pathy. Had her since early summer '19; replaced my 2013 Dodge Dart with this 2003 Nissan Pathfinder LE. She seems to be equipped with most of the factory options, including non-functional heated leather seats. Even had insanely low miles: 76,000. How's that for a 16 year old SUV? Here's a few of the early pictures: Here's the Dart in its best shape. Loved the car, but needed something with 4WD and some ground clearance. As you can see, I really wanted something to go off road even then. First day of ownership, just after picking her up from the dealership. Crappy tires and fake 'new car smell' included for free. Couple days later, added the roof rack from the Dart (fits much better here) and cleaned her up a little bit. Added a few stickers to the back windows and a little leftover vinyl from the Dart.

After that misadventure, I noticed a clunk in the front end, ended up being the right side CV axle, so I replaced both of them to be safe. All went well for a few weeks until i had to stop real hard trying to not fly off a gravel corner (I ended up leaving the road). The rear brake line finally gave out after being rusted into oblivion for 16 years. So we initially started to fix it, but ended up taking it to a shop that had the necessary tools to make brake line. I'm pretty sure that the 1 previous owner only used it during the winter, hence all the rust.

Onto my first off roading excursion with the Pathy. It . . . didn't end well... That's about 18 inches of mud. Trail got wet real quick at the bottom. Paid some guy with a 4x4 tractor to get it out and went on my merry way. So from now on, I don't even wanna see mud. Ever. Cleaned up the outside, had to take it home to clean out the undercarriage. Fun times.

Where I am, I dont have to worry about snow buildup on my lights and such. I was also thinking of putting strong fog lights and installing a switch for extra light.

Warn hubs just went on

Don’t judge my wiring job! It’s still a little rough for now. I was also trying to be as un-invasive as possible, so it’s not a super clean install. Just functional and not an eye sore

Come on, just put 35’s on her already

I am beyond excited to have been able to finish the lift today. She rides like a dream. Tires are 30.6 inches at the moment and plan to get some 32 inch MT’s Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Made it up to the snow after Thanksgiving. We just had a baby, so it was his first trip in the pathfinder. Definitely more stressful on the trails the first time! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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
