I recently stumbled across something that i could not pass up. A 2001 R50 Pathfinder 4x4 for $1250 with 327K miles and a Manual transmission on Craigslist. After a Sunday test drive and easy haggling it was mine for $900 and paid for the following day. It needs a new clutch, desperately, but i was able to make the 10 mile trip home with my wife and kids following behind me in our 2012 Grand Caravan. After parking it i discovered that it was purchased from the dealer with a factory LSD! I Also got $500-600 worth of future replacement parts(struts, thermostat w/housing, radiator). I have wanted something to do weekend getaways in Arizona just me and the pup and i found it. I plan on doing small upgrades to the suspension, new tires, and any maintenance it needs before it becomes my DD. This is my 3rd Nissan, with a 2004 Sentra and and 1984 720 extended cab 4x4 coming before this. I am a do-it-yourself kind of person and can turn a wrench when needed. My mother would call me a shade tree mechanic. I don't get out much with the wife and kids but hope to after buying this rig. Forums have been a great tool for me for information and how to for many of the vehicles i have owned. My daily is currently a 2004 Saturn Ion Redline that is terrible for a family of 5 and was bought as a project car not a DD. I plan to park the Redline once i get the Pathfinder up and running and return it to project status.

I feel ya, I had way too much rake previously with the 9447's and a 1.5" spacer and stock springs in front. Here's my truck now with the 9447's and ome hd's with a 1/2" spacer. The springs settled quite a bit over the first few days and I have a little rake again but it looks so much better than before. Without the spacer I think it would be too raked out for me. Ymmv

A buddy of mine done that on his Silverado and very pleased with the results.

Nice, I'm totally ok with a bit of rake just don't want to look like a drag car all the time haha. good to hear the 9447 can handle a full load.

That's ridiculous! Who eats a frozen burrito haha! We had a breakout at a meat processing plant locally, they shut the place down for 14 days.

Sounds like a great time for you! It would be cool if you fix the photos.

They have all of those! I paid $175 for the full set and they were in really good shape. No tears, some minor cracking but a good Thorough clean and condition and they look pretty decent!
