After seeing a few pictures of peoples trucks with the 96-99 style bumper with the metal endcaps, I think I like that look much better. Does anyone know if the earlier style bumpers with the metal endcaps will fit on a 2000? It should be the same, but I have no idea whether or not it will work. Will the rear work as well? Of course, I'd much rather have a TJM than this, but just incase that doesn't work.....

I really like the look of those tires. Which springs do you have on your truck?
-
I would buy an R50 bumper in a heartbeat if you guys released one that looks anything like the jeep bumper in the first post or the TJM version. A rear bumper with a tire carrier would be amazing as well so I could fit more than a 30" spare.....plus it always drags when I'm offroading. Where are you located? I see your offroading out in CO which is where I'm from, so I'm guessing you're not from here.

Trainman - That picture helps me! That clearence looks very similar to mine although I have even less. I also wonder if they re did anything after changing to 16's. I probably have 3 or 4mm between the tire and where the spring sits in the strut with 265/75/r16s and no lift. When I decide to lift it, most likely OME springs, I'd like to get a pair of 31's although these are supposed to be. They actually measure in at 30.4-5" and I don't think they'd clear if they were really a 31. Anyone else have any ideas?
-
Thanks for the response. Thats exactly what I'd been thinking, so I'm wondering why I don't have near the clearence you do with an inch smaller tires. Any other ideas anyone? -thnkboutit-

kmgar99 - Is that last picture that shows the clearence between the strut and tire with the 32's?! With my 31's (even though they measure 30.5") I have about 3mm of clearence and I have the SE package. If you get 2" out of a lift, with you gain 2" of clearence where the strut could come in contact? Thanks!

Vengeful,
Any idea whether L&P is getting another test vehicle for sure? I was excited for their lift's to be released awhile ago and then heard their truck was stolen, and they've never replied to any emails since.

Precise1,
What type of weight are we looking at for these skid plates? Don't need an exact number, just wondering how much they weigh compared to the steel versions. BTW - NICE work! Also, how much is just the material alone costing you to make one skid or a whole set? I think this would help people get an idea on pricing when labor is included. Thanks!

I second the BFG AT KO. I just got them put on a week ago and are much better than my Coopers.

JJ Big Shoe,
Thanks for the advice - no offense taken at all. I have done a fair amount of work on vehicles myself, but I'm by no means a mechanic. I haven't done much engine work since I'm worried I'll screw something up. I think it would probably be a good idea to have someone help, and hopefully this will help. I didn't get that horrible noise this morning, so I'll have to see if it happens tomorrow. If not it may have just gone away. I really do appreciate all the help.
Anyone else know whether the shock sensor can be adjust by me, or whether I need to take it to the dealer?

Not sure if it's correct, but every remote turn on wire I've ever seen is royal blue.

88,
Thanks for the quick reply. Is the shock sensor something I myself can adjust, or need to take it to a dealer or mechanic? I had the timing belt replaced about 2,000 miles ago and don't think they replaced any of the other belts. Will this be another $500 in labor like the timing belt, or does the entire front end not need to come off with these? Thanks a bunch.

First of all, I think something must be wrong with the alarm on my 2000 Pathfinder. It has gone off in front of my house the last two times I was mowing the lawn, and then again this morning as the neighbor across the street was. Also happened at work a few weeks ago in the middle of the parking lot. I'm thinking it might be a noise sensor (If we have them on our cars? :confused: ) considering its all happened in a "noisy" environment. If I can't fix it, whats the best way to disable the alarm all together? The next problem that just arose is another sound the engine makes when being started for the first time that day. As soon as the engine is started, it makes a LOUD shreaking noise for 1-3 seconds, then goes away and everythings perfectly fine. I know I've heard it before in parking lots, and heard it was something to due with the power steering? ANY help is greatly appreciated, I know theres a lot of knowledge on this board.

Awesome job, it looks AWESOME!
I'm glad to see someone else with 32's since I'm looking at getting the same thing sometime in the future. If you have any more pictures I'd love to see them. By the way, what did the rims and tires run you? Are you using a camber correction kit? Thanks!Tyler
-
Any pictures? I'd like to put 32's on mine after getting the AC lift and think i'd end up using stock rims and 32x10.5's.

OR99.5speed,
I just happen to have my fog lights off at the moment so if you need any pictures on how to do it I can send some. The back of the light has a "twist" release if you haven't gotten that far, and once that piece is off the bulb is exposed and can be removed.

OR99.5Speed,
Nice Pathfinder, welcome to the board! Would you mind taking pictures of the spare tire carrier and how it connects to the body? I would like to put one on my 2000 SE but im unsure of whether or not it can be done without too much trouble. If you dont want to go through all the trouble of hosting the pics they can be emailed to tmorgan4@frii.com
Thanks!
Tyler

Just realized that its for an older body style.....

I can't answer the first question since I'm wondering the same thing, BUT from what I've heard 31's fit a stock Pathfinder w/ some rubbing (although they require the mudflaps and other parts to be trimmed) and I know 32's fit on the Pathfinder with the 2" lift.
-
I saw a bunch of Xterra guys who've done the same thing. but can you tell me what exactly it helps with? It definitely looks amazing, and ive heard you should upgrade both when getting large tires. Does it improve the steering at all? How much is the centerbrace? You should consider fabricating a bunch of idler arms and sell them since I've never seen them anywhere else

I noticed this too a few days ago while cruisig on the highway in my 3.3L 5-speed. Crusing about about 80 my RPM's were in the 4000+ range, which probably isn't great on the engine but I only get on the interstate for a few miles to get where I'm going.
This brings up another question I was wondering about.....I too like to save gas when I'm cruising around town, and usually keep it in 5th when doing anything higher than 40mph. The RPM's hover around 2k.....is this too low? I know if the RPM's aren't high enough it wont burn hot enough and can blow out your spark plugs, right?
Whats the lowest RPM you can cruise at while playing it safe? Thanks!Tyler

DJ Dank,
I should have phrased that better
It ended up completely smashing the TJM bumper, broke some lights and not sure what else. When I said there didn't appear to be any damage, I meant to refer to the frame. I'm just trying to avoid bending or cracking my frame if I ever get in a small fender bender..... 
Tyler

Thanks for all the replies. If anyone sees one for sale and your not planning on buying it PLEASE let me know as I'm in search for one. Does anyone have any information regarding the frame being damaged in an accident by adding a solid, steel bumper? I just looked on TJM's site at a guy who hit a deer doing 75 and didn't say it did any damage, but hitting something more solid could do some damage.
Thanks,
Tyler

I just got back from a collision repair shop, and they told me getting a tough metal bumper that bolts directly to the frame is a horrible idea. They said that in a crash as slow as 5mph you can tweak or crack the frame since the bumper doesnt give whatsoever. I was originally going to order a shrockworks Xterra bumper and make it fit, but after seeing Pezzy's T15 I may go that route. I know on the Xterra you can crank the torsion bars if the front end sags, but can you do this on our cars? I have no idea whether or not the pathfinders have torsion bars
I have just over 106k on my 2000 and I'm hoping the front end wont sag too much with 150 pounds added to it. Also, why can't I find a TJM T15 bumper in black? It seems like all there is available is chrome? Thanks a bunch for any help.Tyler

Thanks for all the support for our R50's, I appreciate it more than you can imagine, and im sure everyone else here does too. I have yet to purchase one of your products, but the skids will hopefully be purchased soon. I'll keep an eye out on the sliders!
