I thought it was the (W)D-21 model they didn't make.

Well, if it uses only the stock bumper mounts, then it would. But if it uses the stock mounts and the tow hook location mounts, then no it wouldn't without modification.

TJM also makes one for the R50. TJM USA

Here is one on a QX

The crossover pipe up front is pretty low. I tore it out of the Y junction on my 93 once. There are some vehicles that have a rather exposed muffler, which these are good for. With ours, you would have to land on a pointed rock to tag it with it in the stock location.

I have all J-yard cables on my 88 now, all the originals snapped.

Yeah, I spent probably the hotest day of the year fixing my frame when I did it, so the duty cycle got me out of the heat and gave me an excuse to have a beer. I hate the duty cycle when I am 1/4" from the end of a bead and it kicks. Otherwise I kinda like my little welder, and won't bother buying a larger one unless I would go back into serious fabrications. When I was doing it before, the guy I was working with had the equipment. If I weld anything at work I tend to rent a welder (customer has to pay for it ), one local place has a nice dual voltage stick/tig machine they charge $60/day for.

I've fixed my frame, repaired my rusted floorboards, built 2 bumpers, rebuilt an ARB bumper, built 3 tranny skid plates and a set of slidders with my 70amp CH flux core.

Old news, but not BS. They are sturdier than a standard muffler.

Where are you located? You might be able to find someone on here who could lend you a hand. Some of us have a few BLs under our belt.

Use what ya got.

Yeah, Waggy easiest for leaf sprung, Bronco easiest for coil sprung. Either can be made to use any spring/suspention type, just more work.

If I can still maintain control of my truck at 75mph, with a full load in the rear and have to switch 3 lanes of traffic quick as a snap.....I think you'll be fine without too. Actually, it never felt at all loose in the emergency manuver at all. I would advise taking it easy on a long or sharp turn, but atleast the Police won't bust you for 3 wheeling a sharp corner because the stupid sway bar is pulling your inside rear tire off the ground. That "more plush" ride is the lack of sway bar whiplash.

That is something that should go without saying, but a lot of people need to learn. As for 220v vs 110v machines, it doesn't matter if you know how to weld.

I use probably the exact welder you have, the CH, mine does a good weld. It just takes a few passes and a lot of waiting (stupid duty cycle) to get a good HD weld out of it.

Not trying to start a war either, just giving my opinion. If I wanted a unibody I'd buy an XJ and at least get a solid front axel. I don't want a unibody vehicle if it is something I am going to haul with or take offroad. Make all the excuses you want but they are still going to twist to pieces if really stressed.

Yeah, this question comes up once or twice a year. There are always a few out there who say it can be done, and yeah it can, but it isn't a simple pull your motor, swap it in. Like has been said we have a tiny engine bay, just imagine adding 2 more cams, 2 turbos and about 10-15 feet of 3"tubing in there. If you are going to go through the trouble and want to keep it Nissan, look into the VH45DE. It's a V-8, but the stock traynny on it will bolt right up to our TX-10A T-case. Also, it is lighter than a VG motor.

Backwards, Chevy hub openings tend to be smaller, though the lug pattern is the same. His spare would fit the Chevy, but the Chevy wheels might need to be milled out to work on his Pathy.

If I bought a Nissan 4x4 newer than 95, it would be a Hardbody or Frontier only. I've seen and worked on R50s, no thanks. 05+ Yeah, they have a frame again, but otherwise they ruined any ability it could have had.

I just like the platform of the WD and D-21. I don't like any of the other, newer model Pathfinders, I wouldn't own one.

Hello, my name is Ryan, and I've been a Pathfinder abuser since 2001.....

Hmmm, have your coil checked.

Yeah, all looks to be about stock height. It is probably the lack of fender flares and small tires that make it look lifted to you.
