Pezzy, how much backspacing do your wheels have?
-
That bumper looks great. Have you tested it with the winch yet?
-
Thanks for all the info mws. :bow:
-
Ah ha. That makes perfect sense.
So it's not made for mine, maybe I'll try to make it fit. :idea:

88,
I swear, I must be special. sly Which section is it listed under on AC? Thanks!
-
Is this kit a dealer part?
-
Thats Colorado for ya....

88,
Are these kits available (or perhaps the same one) to work on an R50? I've seen the carriers on ebay but I don't have the support you were talking about inside the body.
-
If you haven't seen them, here's a few after the first coat of Herculiner. Too thin and doesn't look very good, but I'll hopefully have better ones with real light on the Pathfinder.
-
I should have thought about adding these things before I Herculined it but I already started so I guess I can fix it later. Luckily the stuff bonds to itself really well so I can always touch up an area if I cut it. Hopefully I'll have pictures tomorrow with it installed.

AK9849cy - More questions about your recovery points. #1, what are the hoop/shackle deal you used. and #2, what is the piece that you used to weld it on with? Not sure if it's anything specific or just something you made. I do like the idea of the hitch and turn signals too. Can you buy the hitch receiver at places like U-Haul? Thanks for all the help!
-
Somehow I spaced recovery points by mistake as well, looks like I have some work to do. I think I'll pay somebody to weld a mount on, I would hate to have those come flying off.
-
AK9849cy - I was also trying to decide whether or not I should mount a hitch receiver in it. Can you buy just the square part at a store? I still like the look of the turn signs, and I guess I can add them later since I'm planning on Herculining it today. I have everything sitting in the warehouse, and look forward to playing with Xylene.
I'm not sure I'll ever mount a winch on it, I'm just not sure the bumper is strong enough. I'm worried I'd break a weld on a mount, rip the whole bumper off, or just have the hitch part get ripped out. I'm just not sure how strong the welds actually are since I'm pretty new to welding and they're not the greatest. Think there is any chance of this happening?

Is it possible to run 2 batterys that basically share the load and act as one large power reservoir? The only problem I could see is overworking the alternator by trying to charge 2 batterys at once, but if you had a high-output alt it wouldn't be a big deal. Not sure if there's any advantage to this setup, but it's something to consider if I'm looking into a winch possibly this summer.

Of course I had to do some sort of durability testing before it was finished. I tested it on all sorts of things like signs and trees. The good news is it passed! I'll take pictures the next time it snows, it's easier to "accidently slide" into things when it's slick out. Is your friend on the board?
-
Luker I'm surprised your not bashing it, considering it IS going on an R50.
It would look neat to put some lights in it, maybe some big ones instead of fogs. Thanks for the idea. 
-
Just finished building it, wanted to get some more opinions. It's too cold out for Herculiner tonight, so I'm doing it tomorrow during the day. Here's a few pictures in my SMOKY garage. I'll get some better ones tomorrow.
Questions, Criticizm, Compliments? I'm open to all of it.

Just saw on this site that someone else posted CLICK ME an AEM intake added 14 HP and 4 pounds of torque on a new Frontier. I didn't realize an intake added that much on a Nissan.
-
Pictures would be great.
-
Thanks for trying Slick, hopefully somebody else will have some. Unfortunatly there aren't any Pathfinders closer than an hour away from me, but I may need to make a trip if nobody has some.
-
I'm located in Colorado. If you're not too far away I'd love to get my hands on them, as well as the perches. I'm not sure how much the stock coils weigh, but I could cover shipping if it isn't too much. I appreciate all the help you guys are giving me.
-
How hard would it be to swap out the lower spring perch for one off a jeep or WD21? I haven't looked at the top yet so I have no idea on that either.
-
This is what I hope to find out soon.
Anyone have some stock coils out of the rear of a WD21 I could borrow? :bow:
-
Ahh I get it now. I was just copying what the guy selling the springs said it would fit. Thanks for the clarification. -bounce-
And Slick, thanks for the picture. I'll have to see if ours have the same overall shape, and if so I might see if I can get a measurement on the I.D. And O.D. of the spring. Thanks!
How many people would buy the 4 1/2" lift?

I haven't been checking this thread too much lately so I apologize for not replying sooner. The only problem with cutting the spacers in half is the fact that Keith extensively researched the angles needed for the strut spacers so they are the exact same as stock which would surely get messed up if they were cut. Most people get more than 2" from the AC springs so the back would most likely still be higher or close to even. An extension for the steering will be needed, and when I find out what they come off of I'll probably have an option for supplying one if you need one however I might have problems sourcing about 20 of them. That's of course if this all goes through.
The other thing I need to find out is what to do protect myself from being liable if anything did fail, since even a signiture with a release form doesn't fully protect you here in the US. :oops:
