  1. It's because their kit is only 2.5" and 32x11.50 will sometimes rub even with a 3 inch lift. While we all know you could fit 32" under there with minor trimming, they went down a size for liability or whatever. That's my guess.
  2. Not many Pathfinders retail for what KBB says. I got mine for $3000 and it rated at $5000. And since yours has so much wrong with it there is no way that guy could sell it for $4500. I think the best he could of done would be somewhere around $2100 which still means you got a heck of a deal.
  3. I left a message for that guy and he says it's a 4" lift. I don't beleive him since from what I understand BDS never made a 4" lift. I bet he has the torsion bars maxed out and some extra coil boosters in the back or something to make it 3.25-3.5 and he just rounded up or something.
  4. 2) Upgrade while you are at it and it will be cheaper. Get a flowmaster muffler and take it to an exhaust shop and have them make you a custom exhaust... less than Precise's guess is my guess. Use your stock catalytic converter if it's not in bad shape. 3) Mine seems to loosen itself as well. I need to get another nut on there to hold it better and that may help you out as well. 4) Nissan may (don't bank on this) announce a recall. Stay tuned! 6) Get clear blinker lights off Ebay for $18 or so. They improve the look so much. 7) I wouldn't worry about it too much... mine has had a huge dent in it for the past 2 years. If it bothers you that muck go to a junkyard... remember that only '93-'95 bumpers will be the same as yours. 8) Stop it now before it gets worse. -Good Luck!
  5. Now are you looking for something that rips or something that rumbles? Different mufflers will make different sounds but you already knew that.
  6. Well that's what I heard from the guys that were selling it to me. And the answer to both of SC88Pathy's questions is yes. Or so the guys at Tarheel tell me.
  7. Just the distributer try to avoid. Anything else will be fine but like FLApathy said, don't just sit there and drench the battery.
  8. supermotors.org I think it may still be too large, but you may need to reproduce it in a different format. How many minutes is it?
  9. It doesn't matter if it really works or not. If we get it and it feels like it works, then we're happy and we can pretend it works. I'm sorry, that contributed nothing to this thread but it had to be said.
  10. I've actually thought about this route in combination with my Superlift UCA's that I've already bought. I have a friend that has a Wrangler and a 3" BDS suspension lift and steering stabilizer and he loves it to death. I looked at it and it looks pretty solid to me (to me) but another redneck kid said it was pretty good. I called Tarheel Suspension down in Charlotte and the coil springs and torsion bars were 270. That was without the shocks because I planned on going with Bilstein. You're gonna laugh but BDS actually stands for 'Big **** Suspension' from what I understand.
  11. I think you may be used to driving sports cars or something, but braking has never been good on Pathfinders. Pads won't give you much results and they definately won't make you satisfied especially since you thought the slotted rotors weren't working out... with those slotted rotors you probably have some of the best brakes on this forum. The next step is stainless steel brake lines. I hear they make a huge difference. Here is a link: http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...07153099725d778 Or if you have a lift: http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...07153099725d778
  12. Do they make Chilton's manuals for this new of a vehicle? That would be your best bet. I don't understand why he would try to keep it a secret, there's already about 5 other guys that have done this already.

    As far as tires go, it depends on how often you go off-road. The BFGoodrich All-Terrains are awesome off-road compared to the Duelers. I have the BFGoodrich All-Terrains and it was my worst investment I've made because I put many miles on in a year. Like 25,000 of them. BFGoodrich rubber is way too soft for mostly road tires like I've been treating them. So it's almost been a year since I got my tires and I'm already shopping for new tires. I should of gotten the Dueler All-Terrains. And whenever I go off-road, it's tame enough that the Duelers would work just fine.
  14. Like this guy? Looks sweet. I emailed him (not enough '05/'06 owners yet so I'm trying to help out).
  15. The '05 to current is an R51, right?
  16. See, I told you body lifts were for off-road guys.
  17. Oh. And my XE has power windows. So maybe this poll should be power windows vs. manual windows that you literally 'roll up'.
  18. But really guys, who would find out?
  19. Sure it is. You'd be surprised at how many off-roaders refuse to outfit their truck with a body lift. Actually, now that I think about it, it's the truck/SUV owners that never take their vehicles off-road that don't like the body lifts... off-roaders will usually combine both.
  20. 1.57480315 inches? Doesn't anybody else find that kind of worthless? I have 1" rubber boosters on my stock springs and they cost me $8. Or $12 I can't remember. No it was $8 plus some tire shine which came out to $12.
  21. 40mm? That doesn't help me at all. Might as well be speaking Spanish to me. Or I guess I could go to an online converter. Yes. Yes. That's what I'll do.
  22. Oh boy! A bike! -bounce- I want a Buell Lightning so bad! They might not be the fastest bike but they're made in the United States! And speed is only marginally different and pretty much unrelevent when it comes to bikes anyways. Welcome!
  23. I'd say you're getting a fair deal. $2000 would be a steal. But it sounds like a solid truck that won't need much work. Rust is my only suggestion but it's been mentioned already... check the frame behind the rear tires and under the back seats. And welcome!
  24. Awww I think you know more words than you think SC88. For example, you've forgotten about sesame. And toyota. Sesame translate into 'little seeds on top of a hamburger bun' and toyota translates into 'taking over the world!'
