  1. My two cents.I got he 3 inch suspension lift which i am not too happy with on road due to the instability but is better for offroad. Body lift is more solid and is awesome when working on your truck but not reccommended for hardcore offraod due to strain on the contact points and i got that too. I run the 32x11.5x15 on my legos and thier fine. All said i think you would have enough power with 33s with a new muffler, intake and headers. Not only does it stand out inthe parking lot but it sounds sweet.
  2. My clutch and timing belt went quite smootly and it runs excellent now. Not a big deal but I did spend about a day and a half with my brother on it but it was fine. Do it all yourself. I saved 2 grand on labor by doing it myself and I know my truck way more now because of it.
  3. I did take my front sway bar off and the roll on the highway felt kinda cool. Even when all sway bars are on and I corner hard my tire comes off the ground enough to loose traction and it pisses me off. I need to test out the flex yet withoput the front sway bar. another problem I have if u look at anyone flexing a IFS pathy is the back flexes easy so u almost tip ur truck over with a rear tire off the ground a foot and the front tires are barely stuffed. Thus u need more front flex to even front and back flex out.
  4. I've never seen a fuel light on mine either but I average about 70L when I fill up and havent ran it right empty cause THAT WOULD SUCK. Side note. Anyone with a 3" body lift lifted thier fuel tank the three inches? Maybe for more clearance in the back?
  5. Wait a sec. The u joint must be the ones on the rear drive shaft because there wouldnt be one on the rear axle as it is fixed right? Got confused there for a sec
  6. Sorry to be slow but where exactly are the U joints again?
  7. Me TOO!! I also think having a sub box with two twelves that take up the entire trunk rendering it almost useless is stupid! It doesnt take much to biuld a custom box which is taller than it is wide and mount it to the side. You will love the extra space. As for sound quality, I dont know the difference bettween the big ass boxes and my tiny one but mine is really loud and goes way louder than my speakers can.
  8. custom sub box with a 12" sub and the volume in the box is very small but it pounds decent. The box sits overtop of the wheelwell and the sub points toward the interior mounted spare with the front of the box angled off to follow the lean of the rear seat and sits only about an inch past the wheelwell so it takes up way less room(about half)than the spare. a 1200W xplod which is mounted on top and the end fits into the 1.5" inset of the window and is flush to the opposite edge. A scrap yard bent grill painted completes the setup which is bolted with angle iron to the floor. Totally out of the way and the cargo area is still useful. Loud enough to impress everyone who comes in my truck. Sorry but I got no pics yet. Plan on getting a low profile sub and cutting out part of the metal interior rear quarter panel so it only sticks out 2"s past the side. Only bad part is the amp is in totally plane sight of passerbys but I plan on carpetting the rear windows as they are all but useless
  9. I have plenty of body work to do on my truck from ur typical trail ride but the body shop is too rich for my wallet. I would like to do a decent job with my air sprayer but need to find the right color and clear coat espeacially. Has anyone done this nevermind thegravel gaurd dudes?

  11. Im way up in smithers so a ways away. I saw a guy who has a sas done on his with 35s or somehting in nanaimo but havent seen him on this site. His rig is awesome.
  12. He said he was on ice and the pathfinder is a light truck compared to other trucks and dont go far on ice with hard rubber MT tires. Ive bin in 3 feet of powder but once u stop and hit ice it could be very hard to get out. The pictures dont do it any justice but do they ever? Airing down the tires and never stopping inthe deep stuff would help though. I drive in through couple feet of snow for 6 months of the year and the pathfinder goes so far with even crappy tires on. Get a jackall as well. Its saved my ass a couple times.
  13. Well its jan 09 and I jsut found this site and I have the same thump problem. Has anyone figured out what this is yet?
  14. Thats cool. didnt know that though I musta seen it somewhere. Ususally just roll on right? Cant u get paintables too? Well Ill look at color combos and decide. Thanx
  15. 3+3=32s till I get new rims as well. I have rubbing issues with my stock lego rims. I cant find anything up here. Need to order some over the border. How are those tires working out for u? I want those in 33s but still have not dicided. Decent in mud and highway?
  16. Sweet! That makes sense.I saw on 4x4parts.com that they have quick disconnects for the back. Does anyone make them for the front because that is what I want to flex the most before my truck tips over?
  17. Thanx for the tip precise. I think Ill just tear into it with my brother. Im just glad to know I may not have to pull the suspension and Ill give it a shot. Ill let u know on the results.
  18. Has anyone done herculiner on a tan pathfinder? Maybe halfway up to the body line? My paint is chipping like mad but Im worried it would look like crap. Would herculiner or rocker gaurd be better or are they the same stuff. Im lost.
  19. Hey all. I have not found any info on manual trannys as respect to taking them out and how big of a pain it is. I plan on doing my clutch and crankshaft seal. I think I read somewhere that u have to take the whole rear torsion assembly off to drop the tranny. Is this true? has anyone ripped the tranny out or does everyone bring it to the shop? Any info would be helpful cause I am doing it this weekend and have the parts ordered already. Thanx. (Oh and my truck is a 93 xe manual pathfinder.)
  20. I painted my lego rims blck with a spray can of canadian tire texured spry paint. It collects dust easily but are just sparkly enough not to be boring and not too sparkly to look gay. I did no prep other than cleaning the rim well and I have had it on for 6 months thru snow, salt, mud and gravel and it stays on very well. I took the plastic center pieces off and it looks alright with the chrome wheel lugs.
  21. Sorry Dudes. My pics are too big and Im still trying to figure out this computer. Maybe these will satisfy. Oh and I need more flex
  22. That is awesome. One more detail to make the pathfinder perfect. Id be intrested but would need it sent to canada. I dont have any donor parts as my pathfinder is my daily driver but I could look at a wrecker. keep us posted.
  23. Hey all. This is Daniel reporting for duty. I just joined this site the other day and must say there are many nice trucks and alot of helpful information on here. My ride is a 93 xe pathfinder with a 3 inch body lift, 3 inch suspension lift and currently 32s way up here in the beautiful northern interior of BC Canada and as far I know I have the nicest pathfinder within 400 square kilometers of me. This is just my second vehicle of my life and I am getting happier everytime I drive it for it blows so many other vehicles out of the water with the looks, performance, reliability and inexpensiveness. Any tips for my truck to improve is always appreaciated. I am currently working on new bumpers, more lights, 33 tires and new rims and fender flares and winch and to come within the next 6 months.Great site and keep up the good work.
