I just installed #5118 Ranchos on the rear of my 91. Bought them on e-bay so I didn't get any instructions. My question is concerning the red dust boot, can I run the shocks without the boot? On the drivers side the boot was real close to the tailpipe and I was sure it would melt so I just took it off and the shock fit fine with plenty of clearance. Is this O.K. ? Will the Rod rust or get damaged and cause problems?

I have read on a couple posts that if my pathfnder has less than 100,000 miles I can get the manifold studs replaced by Nissan on some type of a recall deal. Can anybody confirm or deny this. My local dealer says no. Mine is a 1991 with 65,000 miles.

I bought a westin safari bar on ebay with PIAA series 60 lights for $130. The westin safari bars are all the same dimensions but you need to buy a specific installation kit for your vehicle. Of course westin doesn't offer a kit for the old pathfinders but the one I bought was off a Dodge Dakota and I was able to fabricate the brackets to fit the 91 Pathy real good. A lttle cutting drilling and welding and it looks great but it kinda renders the front tow hook useless. I just figured I'll probably be doing most of the towing. Maybe some of the other bracket kits would work even better. Remeber this is a safari bar not the bull bar and it is very light duty, for looks only. I will try to post pictures soon.

Guess I was lucky, I sprayed the cleaner in their in january and it still is working like a charm. Krylon electrical parts cleaner.

Before I tore apart the steering column I decided to try some tuner cleaner, I just sprayed it in the hole where the switch goes into the steering column, worked like a charm, problem is fixed, thanks alot for the info

Thanks, I will try it in the next few days and let you know how it worked, this site is great.

Can anyone help with this problem? My drivers side high beam quit working, It has been somewhat erratic for a few weeks, coming on a few seconds after I'd flick the switch, but now it has quit working completely. I thought it was the bulb and replaced it today but no luck, same problem. Passenger side works fine. I'm pretty sure it will be a relay problem but I have no idea where it is or how to fix it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
