Hardwaretoad, don't you think it's time for an updated signature picture? Your truck looks entirely different in the posted picture.

I've heard of these. When I Google it, I get real train horns. Are these something like those Wolo trumpet air horns? They get 118 decibels I think. If these aren't the same, what decibel levels do the train horns get?

That is weird. Usually the people who would want a supercharger are the type of people who prefer driving a manual.

Yeah I've looked at JAOS and they're really cool. Thing is I'd have to buy wheels and tires at the same time instead of just getting 15 inchers for my current tires. That and I might be wrong but aren't 16" tires less wide than 15" tires?

If you replace really worn out plugs, plug wires, and distributer cap, you can easily restore 10 horsepower. Just out of curiosity, would a 50 HP shot of nitrous put much stress on the engine? I know the VG30 is pretty much bulletproof but it wasn't exactly designed for nitrous.

The new Pathfinders do not come with a manual, nor is it an option. However, the new Xterra you can buy with a manual transsmission. The new Frontier comes with a 6-speed manual as an option on certain trims... if I was to get a new Nissan the Frontier would be it.

Check your bumpstops and make sure they aren't worn out. And if they aren't, use some rubber spacers to lift the back end up a little bit...like maybe an inch. I have 1" rubber spacers on mine.

For the type of off-roading I do they will be fine. When I off-road it's usually barely tough enough to put it in 4WD. Unless it's mud which happens once in a blue moon.

Yeah, they're brighter (my dash is different from yalls). One thing is that since they are LEDs, the light doesn't spread as evenly as normal bulbs would. That's my only complaint. But blue is all I have... you have to remember that these are free.

I like the Nitro 6, Nitro 8, and Nitro 10... Nitro 8 is my favorite. And for the Primex ones, the 415 and 460 are really cool. I like that mesh style. The reason I like these is because I'm growing up in the tuner-era, and these are sort of styled like those tuner wheels. I love Momo and OZ wheels on Civics, just not the I-4 inside them. I like the classic wheels like those Mickey Thompsons, but it seems like they work best on Chevys and Fords. Or Dodges. Have you seen those type of wheels on an Xterra? Yuck! They look decent on a Pathfinder, but completely clash on those Xs.

What SUV is that? A Montero? Or is it a new SUV called Landwind? Who makes it? That is some crazy stuff.

And the $30 one is great because even when you burn it out (you're not supposed to run those for more than 5 minutes at a time), you just go pick up another for $30.

Ebay. That said, I accidently bought (40) 194 blue LED lights from Ebay and I'll just give you guys some if you want them. No charge. Period.

I have run out of gas completely in my '95 and filled it back up with 18.3 gallons. I might of put maybe 0.5-1 gallon of gas to get me to the station. My guess is a 19 gallon tank.

Very good point, I never thought about that. I love the Pathfinder so much that if I tore the bumper off in an accident, driving it home would be last on my mind... I'd be crying my ass off!

Recent meaning something people will cruise through right off the bat... something that you don't have to dig through archived stuff to find.

It's kind of weird pulling up old posts, but it's nice to see Mr. Jim in some recent topics, right?

I've been looking for some wheels that are unique. My search landed me here. I was wondering if anyone has used any of these wheels or even knows someone who has. They look really cool and are really the style I've been looking for... they're in 6x5.5! Primex Wheels Nitro Wheels

I used a Fram because it was the only Part # I could remember on hand PH8A... I can still remember it. Next time I'm taking my list of other possible filters with me.

Yeah Vsicks, I don't think the author is in it for accuracy... just money. Pointing fingers is childish.

Why did I mount it in the wheelwell? Several reasons. One, it leaves the engine bay much less cluttered than if you put it behind the fuel filter. If you look at MaritimeMan's or Slick's, I don't know for sure but I don't think they can change their oil without undoing the bracket (Slick's I know is like that for sure). Two, the oil filter can shed heat much easier in the wheelwell because the air is constantly moving and moving fast. A cooler filter means cooler oil which means longer engine life. Three, you can't fit the Ford V8 filter (like I used) in the engine bay. Cleanly, anyways. Why use a V8 filter? It holds more oil, and more oil also contributes to lower overall oill temperature. I bumped up from 3.5 quarts to 5 quarts. It's not just the filter but the length of hose that adds to the huge capacity. I almost used all of the supplied hose. Remember that you cannot use more than supplied. I do not know what happens if you do, maybe 88 could answer that question. And four, I'm pretty sure I can cut my old oil change record time in half and without burning myself. You are supposed to change the oil when the engine is warm, but I think everyone else does it while it's cool because of the stock filter location. But I've done it while it's warm and I have permenant burn marks on my left hand from it. Perma-Cool solves this problem.

I couldn't tell ya. I bought them in a package with an MSD ignition system. I definately felt a gain in power, but I give the credit to the ignition system not the plug wires.

I thought All-Terrains already had a unique siping on them that kind of went in and then bent under the rubber. It's supposed to allow the All-Terrain to have a 'claw' that comes out when losing traction. Maybe the Tire Kingdom guy made that all up.

That looks really cool. Don't you have some suspension lift too?

Awesome!
