94 Pathy

I don't know who's posting that it's hard, but I think it is one of the easiest jobs out there. Jack up the truck remove the tires and away you go. It's very simple and if you happen to have a Chilton/Haynes, it will be even easier. Good luck!

Ya know, I've been thinking about taking mine off and throwing the spare up in the cargo rack once I get one, but I was thinking.......how fun and easy will it be getting a 33"-35" tires off the top of the Pathy once I have my body lift on and making the Pathy 6" higher than originally? After thinking it through, I'm thinking about doing it anyway. Can always fab a swing arm for the spare from the custom rock krawler rear bumper that is getting fabbed. Decisions, decisions Let's over the options!

I mounted my antenna on my tire swing in the corner and haven't had any problems with the ground or anything...

-bounce- Post some pic's ASAP!

The spacing isn't much, but I haven't had any problems with mine. If interested on how much lift there is, look at my other post in the general. "Lifted Pathy". I'm really happy with the lift. I'm thinking about getting the steering upgrade components and look for beefier lower control arms. Good luck with the lift!

Sorry it's taking me sooooo long to get some sketches done for the safari doors. Just an FYI.....if you go to AC's site and look at the Truck of the Month pic's, you'll see on with safari doors. The guy's anme is Richard. Anyone know who this guy is? I would love to get in touch with him to see how he did his....Keep you'll posted!

I lifted the truck and took the tires off. The bj's/trods/and steering linkages are all in tack and tight. I tightened the nuts on the spindles for the uca's and sprayed the hell out of everything with WD40. Go figure, now the truck is squeeking like a mother. I think it is from tightening the spindle nuts too tight. I'm going to loosen a little and see what happens. For some odd reason, I can't download a pic for everyone to see, but I was wondering if there is suppose to be a outer boot or sleeve for the outer half shaft? I noticed one on the drivers side, but not the passenger's and that is the side that is clanging from the shaft bouncing....it's not that bad, but the clanging is driving me . Does anyone have any clue what something like that would run? One more thing and I'll leave you'll alone......For those that know what a rock krusher bumper is for JEEP's are....I'm having one fabbed with a receiver hitch for my pathy. I'm hoping it'll be around $200 or less. From the sounds of things it's going to be. The guy has all the material just sitting in his shop and it sounds like something fun for him to do.....He and his father use to build tubular rollcages and chassis for stock cars....I'll keep everyone informed on the progress. Thanks all!

Alright everyone! I've searched and did what I could do with what I found and nothing is helping........After I got my alignment done after liftingthe Pathy, I have a cluncking and crunching sound coming from the passenger side front. I've tried tightening all the steering links and the lower control arm bolts and every bolt near and suspension and steering components. I still have the inner half shaft that has about an 1/8" of play, unlike the driver's side which is tight. That's not the problem, it's something else. I was in hopes for some insite from you all before I take it too the shop. :sniff: I was thinking it might be some of the steering components and they might be corrected by replacing all the rubber bushings and groumets. Would that be a possibility? I guess it wont hurt to replace them all anyway. Thanks in advance for all your imput!

Yo KILLVOX, could you post some wheel shots of your leggos? I would love to see close ups or side shots of the wheels. I'm thinking about doing the same or doing the hammered look. I've already painted my center caps the hammered, but not the actual wheels yet. Looks tight!

Good job! Just remember, when tightening the screws for them......DO NOT tighten too tight, or they will crack! I found out the hard way. Other than that, they work great and are much brighter than the originals.

I believe the green is Forest /Hunter green...That's what I have....What does everyone think about keeping the front the green and fade it too black in the rear? When all said and done, I'm thinking about doing that. Must add some cool graphics in with it though. Just a thought!

Nice looking tire, but I would've gone with the Kuhmo's. I love them dearly! I'm hoping I can find some in 33" to 35". I'm thinking they done make them that big, but I could be wrong.

Good to hear it & yes just for lights and looks. You'll have to try for some pic's for us!

Por 15 work pretty good? I've heard it is. I was thinking about using that on the frame when I get ready for the body lift. Grind and clean everything, patch up soem frame holes that are bad and go at it.

:oops: It's making me sick just thinking about tearing all that crud out just for a darn rear seal. :furious: So Precise, when did you say you were coming to Iowa to help? I'll have to look up one of my buddies to see if he'll lend a hand. The more the faster it will get done. This really sucks having this be my means of transportation.

:cool2: Thanks for the heads up!

Of course it would have t obe a H1...Duh! In the real world, I would shoot for a Frontier crew cab 4X4 supercharged or a Supercharged Xterra.

I know mine whistles. It's the weather stripping I'm sure. It's riped and torn. Does anyone know where I can get a new seal for it besides the Nissan dealership? Thanks in advance!

If I knew you could wait for awhile, I'll sell you mine for $100. I have a guy & I'm going to help to learn to fab me up a rear rock krusher bumper and some skids. If they turn out alright, I'm having him fab up a front bumper. The Prerunner is nice for the lights, but anything else like supportive, not falling for it. The way they are attached, is very weak. I think I have pic's posted somewhere. If not, just let me know and I can post them again.

I've been having the same problem since I purchased the Pathy. Mine doesn't leak that bad, but enough to annoy me. I was afraid of having to drop the tranny. The guy I purchased it from mentioned that he replaced the rear seal, but wasn't too sure if he got everything sealed tight enough. He mentioned that if that is the problem, it was going to be a pain. Mentioned something about having to remove the crossmember and things? How difficult is this going to be? pssd

:eek: Oops, I think I just wet myself! I just woke the family up from laughing so darn loud! I'm in tears! :sniff: :sniff: :X :X :oops: I'm laughing too hard! That's awsome!

Question here! I was thinking about getting something like this, but I'm also thinking about yanking out all my carpet and ryno-lyning(spelling) the inside. Would that stuff stick to that? I'm just thinking, why have carpet and all that unneccessary stuff in the vehicle if all it is for is off-roading? I know most of us have the vehicle as an everyday driver...Just wanted to put that out there!

pssd Darn importing costs! If it wasn't so much for the shipping, you could find parts pretty easy. I've heard some guys talk about using other guys original torsions if theirs are too worn out. I have mine sitting in the garage and a pair or Ford F150 coils from a '92. They would give you 1-2" more lift in the rear. I was going t odo that and get some new UCA's & torsions, but decided to go with CALMINI. Much more money, but the wife told me if I was going to do it right, go with CALMINI. What a great wife, even though she goes nuts when I'm spending money for toys for the Pathy. sly

-bounce- Thanks guys! The lift wasn't too bad. I couldn't get the front lifted for awhile. I think it had too loosen up alittle first, but then a month or so later...once I had the time, I adjusted the torsions and up it went. I think it's worth the money... flnl: the distance is 20.5".....why do you ask? I measured the front also and they are 20.5" also believe it or not. Just an fyi for all you that are having turning radius problems.......if you take off your lower turning bump stops (?) you have a much better turning radius. That's if you are running 31X10.5X15 or smaller. Larger tires & wheels I don't think it will work. I got tired of the creaking and metal on metal rubbing, so I took them off. Much better! :cool2:

Thanks everyone! Yeah, the 3" body lift will be coming later with 33"-35" with rockcrawler wheels. I'm in the process of having a friend help me with a Rock Krusher rear bumper with receiver & some skid plates for the front and under body. Yo Earth, yeah, I think I'm probablly the first to have the Kumho tires. I've had them for over two years. I love them! When I first got them, it felt like I was in 4wd all the time they gripped so good. I hope Mudfinder wont get upset, but the wife got me specialized plates. Here you go!
