Hey guys! I might be able to make it up there (I only live 15 min away), just not sure yet, so maybe i'll see you guys there. Just look around for a Black lifted 05' Pathy.

Good info as I am going to be in that neck of the woods Christmas week and plan on going to Tahuya. I grew up in Tahuya area and never would have imagined I would have to be scared of getting pulled over by rangers/dnr and getting ticketed for not having a pass. I don't mind paying extra money to help keep these places open...I just hope the state starts using money wisely and balancing there budget. I still have a feeling that even with these passes, that places are still going to shut down.

I was noticing a weird sound when I would hit 2k-2.2k RPM when driving. Thought it could be a leaking exhaust manifold, or possibly even the valves, which would have sucked, because I just had the timing chain and tensioner replaced. But after some research and some light repair, this was the fix: http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/local_links.php?catid=238&linkid=1278 There is a rattle noise coming from the Variable Induction Air Control System (VIAS) Power Valve Actuator Intake Manifold Collector at engine speeds around 2,200 RPM.

Yep, with a few inches to spare.

Yeah salt definitely sucks! I lived in Utah for the last five winters and they use salt and sand like there is going to be a flood. Nasty stuff!

I live in Medical Lake, WA. The snow is starting to melt now, but I am hoping for more to come.

I believe as the time goes the popularity of lifting the 05 and up will grow. Plus most places like les schwab say they cant lift them cause nobody has lifts for them and they don't buy from calmini or AC.

There we go...thanks! lol

After waking up to a fresh snowfall, decided to take the pathy out for a spin! This is my 05 with the 3" AC lift and 285/70/17's on.

Advertised as a 2" lift, but I did get about 3 1/2" in the back and about 2 3/4" in the front. Alignment has been a pain, but i have it almost dialed in correctly now. https://www.4x4parts.com/catalog/product_in...roducts_id=5644

How do you like the OME lift? I just got done installing the AC lift on mine, I am going to crank up the front about 1/2" more though. Here are some pics of it now.

I actually just purchased the AC 2" lift, and plan on throwing 285/70/15 on mine. AC also has the 3" BL, so I am also considering it since its only 300 bucks and would get a total of 5". I know Calmini would have been the easiest way to get the 5", but I was/am not sure if I want to go that high, so at least in the future I can. My 05' Le PF is totally stock as of right now.

Thanks thats pretty much all i needed to know. I sometimes dont trust the guys at the stores. I still want to hook up a nice sound system though. Thanks again! Jer

Does anyone have the bose audio that came stock with your pathy? I am going to install an amp, and the nearest electronics store says they dont know for sure if they need to use a kit on the back of the stereo. I was wondering if the RCA's are already on the the back of the stereo.... Jeremy 02' Blue PF

Looks llike you guys had fun at Tahuya! I miss living a few miles from there. But thats ok less damage to my vehicles. lol. Watching those videos brought back some memories. I definetly want to meet up sometime! My wife and I have been wheelin since we were teenagers, she loves to go to, which is awesome. Anyway thanks for the link... JER 02' PF SE

I am from bremerton, but living in UT for now. I go up there all of the time. Have you heard of Tahuya? There is some awesome trails from beginner to expert. Since you live really close to I-90 take it like your going up the pass, cant remember what exit it is but I think it is the fireman training area/tinkum or something. There is a few trails up there. Anyway I am going over to the middle east untill May and will be up there for a month when I get back that would be awesome to hit some trails. Take it easy. 02' PF

Hey just a begginer here... this is my 2nd Pathy, first was an 89' XE, now have an 02' SE. Just bought yesterday actually, traded in my 01' CC Frontier. I am very happy to be back in a PF. Well anyway just sayin hi to everyone here. Jer
