Sorry to tell ya man....but thats pretty horrid...significantly worse than mine. You aren't looking to salvage the frame rails are you? I'd suggest a full rebuild from the rear doors back with some good heavy duty tubing....it looks like you lost 2 or 3 entire sides right where the coil spring mount is If you have ANY other options of transportation (even a bicycle) you'd be wise to utilize them...that could break on a speedbump!

You will want to adjust your stops pronto...I tore the inner lug on both my front tires all the way around the tire because of the frame rubbing on it..brand new bfg's... You know, if you piece together your SL instead of getting the AC kit...you could save enough money for a body lift and then just upgrade to 33x1250s to fit those 10" wides! Just sayin Ironman Offroad up here in midland can get you a sweet steal on RC upper control arms and plus, Pat is a cool guy to do business with

Or order from jegs, I got a 22k for 50 shipped...I feel MUCH better now that I know its taken care of

You know, the drop brackets plus some nice RC UCA's, and you could get 6-7" lift springs in the back for one SICK rig..add on a 2-3" BL and that makes a pretty well-off truck (although too much lift for my liking)

I noticed a 1-2mpg gain or so, and it seems peppier, probably because its easier for it to breathe on a whim

My sliders have 9.5" legs on 5"x1/4" plates and will be getting 1/4" plate gussets on the top of each leg...My legs just go straight out bc I have a 3" body lift and mine are doubling as steps for the family.

Metal intake has everything you need like he said for 50+ bucks on ebay, just search pathfinder cold air intake... I however, have a "hack job" kit for sale with about 1k on it

Thats a cool Idea and all, but I'm welding my sliders on tomorrow, and if they ever need to be replaced or removed....I'll just pull out the sawzall and grinder I do need to learn how to weld upside down in one day though...that will be fun!

I will never use a winch w/o synthetic line.....200-300 bucks to save a life? Hell yes.

I would rather have a slider bend than a slider fly across the area into the head of a bystander because it snapped a bolt

I fixed my door pin issue with some masking tape in a flat bundle on the door....so it pushes slightly more against the sensor so it doesn't flicker on turns So there is wiring for footlights in a 91?

My ATF looks like coke, does that make it taste better?

If its not prewired, its the difference between running relays, dealing with halogen bulbs, harder mounting, and driving 100+ miles to the nearest pick n pull...whereas a local guy is a LED dealer who can get me the LED strips for cheap that won't require relays, and can be mounted 1001 different ways.

I love my wd21 and I wouldn't get rid of it for anything. BUT.. as the years go on its increasingly difficult to find a worry-free truck..they are DD able, but that depends on what you're doing while DD....they serve as a combo of trail rig/DD much better.. Personally, I'd find a cheaper r50 w/the larger engine, especially if you're looking to do alot of highway with the family... it really depends on what your definition of DD is

x2 as well as wiring, like I asked above. is it prewired? If it isn't, theres really no point in using stock, cause it would just create more work

lol...I was basically saying lift plus low (numerical) gearing means you get bigger tires and go really slow nvm

You should also know, that on my 98 malibu my 8 year old neighbor ran up to me one day (after backing the car outta the garage to move things around) to tell me that there was blue smoke coming out of the tailpipe. That was the one and only time I EVER saw blue, and it never came back...So does it keep doing it? or no?

If you're going through the trouble of finding 4.6's, you may as well get the R&P from select frontiers and xterras to get the 4.9's and just swap out the R/P I too am cursed with 33's and 4.3's 3+3+.3=33@3mph that was forced...I know.

300+ bucks for a new one I believe. Or, go to a parts vehicle, drill out every spot weld carefully, pull the panel and buy it

Steevo makes em http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=20099&st=40 fleurys did it too

http://nissan4u.com/parts/ Find the part number on the subharness (if it is one) and order the part from the guy in SERVICES on this site (forget his name) or order them from your local nissan dealership. Tada! However, personally I'd save the likely $50 cost, and just get some nice connectors, a solder kit, and some shrink tube stuff

I have a cooler and gauge, Mine will read anywhere from 110 to 170 depending on what I'm doing. Highway after dark going 65-70 it will steadily sit around 110-120F, but when it gets up to say 170 I can definately feel the heat combined with the 90 degree weather outside. Before I had a cooler, on a 4 day dune trip the heat was so intense it made my right leg unbearably "burnt" as in just dried out a ton...that is not something I wish to experience again, for the truck's sake. A brand new as-big-as-you-need-it cooler plus a cheapo (but perfectly functioning) HF water temp gauge, and $12 in brass fittings from lowes will only set you back 70-90 bucks, and its money well spend imho

Same person who used plastic wood to beef up sliders...dunno who

I have some of those in my house (for lighting on say, the stairs to the basement and such) but they put too much of a directional light...hence the $3 12" light strips Rock lights (I say LED because commonly people use halogen but I prefer the ease of LED) are waterproof lights that fit into say a 3/8" hole drilled into key locations. For instance, infront of each tire, behind each tire, in each wheel well and 2 on each rock slider, plus one on the front center and one on the rear center. They are there for night trail runs, so you can see whats going on underneath and watchout for ROCKS....hence the name. They help alot cause if 3-5 people have them on a trail, it lights the terrain for people behind them and around them, w/o blinding people like headlights and offroad lamps. For an exact representation of what i'm talking about and what I'm going to do, theres a link in my build thread.
