I hope they don't end up looking like this guy's pick up!

I spoke with Fleurys last night....he's a "MetalHead" (He usually come out to see me when I'm in Montreal with what ever tour I'm working on.) The top pic is just a regular moog inner tierod, which he still has on his truck & in good condition. The lower is a beefier tierod he's been working on and will hopefully be ready to sell. Check out his website!

I thought it was the opposite.....the "Death Wobble" is more of an R50 thing IFS..... Which is usually fixed by replacing the Lower Control Arms. This is PINNED in the R50 section Death Wobble

I'm probably going with these for when I get my SFD. http://cart.bilsteinus.com/pdfs/off-road.pdf Bilstein 5165

So you're suggesting going to the dealer or a Nissan on line shop ( like courtesy parts) and get rotors, shoes, hardware, etc.? Sounds more expensive than the high end stuff? Could be wrong thou.

I know there are some high quality brake parts for the front disc stuff i.e. Baer, EBC, Brembo, etc. BUT, are there any higher quality brake SHOES / DRUMS for the rear? Also, when doing the rear brakes, how often do you replace the hardware back there? Only when it fails or replace all, along with the shoes?

Oh, do tell.....could you go into more detail......what year Chevy van? Pictures? Video or audio clip would be nice too!

What are the pros & cons of running 17" rims....I would figure you could run 33" or 35" much better with a 15" or 16" rim? I'm running a 15 x 8 w/ 3.75 BS, also currently running 32's x 11.5 x 15.....could I keep my same rims (after SFD 6") trying to run 33's ? What about 35's?

So how did the Pathy do on this run??? My math sucks, what does a 265/70/17 tires / wheel? combo translate into 31" 32" 33" 35" 's?

I just wanted to resurrect this thread.....I'm thinking this is why my front brakes/rotors have all of a sudden worn quickly!!! I'll definitely be doing this mod. (FYI , I'm getting EBC Drilled/Slotted Rotors & Greenstuff 7000 Pads). With all the new lifts I've been seeing by members here and SFD's I thought I'd bring this post back to relevancy. More info on LSV.....LSV And this one......starting at post #15........LSV / Break Info

Looks good.....you opted for no winch? I wish I knew how to weld. More pics when you get the rest on!

When are you gonna post pics of your rig after the SFD install??? I've been following your posts, and curious to see how your rig turned out. (I almost think it doesn't exist?!?). I'm still waiting to get my SFD Kit.....probably within the next couple months! I hope you figure this out! GOOD LUCK!

Inspect tires carefully- rotate & balance if necessary.

Andrew- I didn't forget about my SFD KIT, I'm on the serious "lay away" plan.....only $300 to go!

eBay has them for $61.56ea. FREE SHIPPING!

I found another MagnaFlow, it has dual 2" and single 2.25". I wanna run single exhaust. Would this be closer to stock? Would I still need adapters? It's from Summit, Magna Flow 11148 And this, not sure the difference? MagnaFlow 12148

I'm in dyer need of a new muffler and really want to go aftermarket. I'm tired of buying cheap mufflers lasting only a year before rusting out! I think I'm going with a 2.25" at the dual end & 2.50" at the Single End. I want to keep my existing stock set-up. I have a 3.3L engine. Im under the impression that MagnaFlow is a Reversible muffler??? Will I need adapters and/or hangers that need to be welded on? Is there a problem with the 2.5" output going back down to the smaller dia. Stock Pipe? I'm ready to make this purchase NOW, but wanted to run this by the FOURUM first. Heres the link to the muffler in question ....No, I'm buying it on Amazone (not paying $200)MagnaFlow 12580

Ahhh, I see your point! Makes sense, more sturdy connected to some fender.

Found this on another site (Yota, sorry). But thought this guy did a pretty clean job! Yota Snorkel Build

FOUND THIS ONE....... Pathfinder Buggy

Bar........Have you looked into the Missing Link??? Missing Link From Jackson Auto Sport

Did you try PM to Daddy Rim (Jeff NPORA Member)??? He's the Man!

Did you check inside the slider??? If I recall it's inside the pinch seam portion of the slider. Post some pics of install and finished product!!!
