I respectfully disagree. I've been running those coils for a while now with the proper 3" lift RS9000X shocks and I've never had an issue. Quite possibly I wheel harder and more often than 95% of the people in this forum, and this setup allows me to flex like mad off road and due to the spring rate I can load up the trunk area with my winch, full size spare, tools, hi-lift, spare parts, chains, etc.... and the back end just loves it (ok that sounded a bit dirty). sly Perhaps you had some crazy long travel shocks and had bad experience with this setup, but I know that I am not the only one running those coils with either the RS9000x or RS5000 shocks, as few of my friends run them without any issues as well.

I've been running Ford F100 coils for long time and I love 'em. Have you tried looking for those?

Bud, you have no idea how much I am looking forward to those... I am also looking forward to running some mucky trails myself sly

But I've been here shorter!

That's insane pricing for tranny rebuild! It's about $1000-$2000 for either a wrecker tranny or a rebuild here and that's in Canadian currency so it would be about 20+% higher than in US Dollars. Did you call around? :confused: This sucks bad man... I had the same problem pretty much exactly one year ago and decided to have the tranny rebuilt.

BTW http://www.japaneseusedautoparts.com/ in Scarborough has the pump for $56 as listed on car-parts.com also Mega City Auto Recycling 9198 6th Line North, RR #3 Georgetown, ON L7G 4S6 905-457-5713 1-877-777-4142 Fax: 905-877-8135 I kid you not though... full fledged bearing shops are awesome, I get my alternator bearings for $11 from them (PA doesn't have that size)

When it warms up i gotta make a trip to the wreckers... There is a good one in Georgetown. I'll let you know.. in the meantime, there are some PS fluids you can buy at Crappy Tire, maybe just flush the fluid and see what happens? If it's a bearing, then take the pump apart and go to a bearing shop to find a new one... Even Princess Auto has many popular bearing sizes in stock for like $5 each.

Take it off, disassemble, clean the roof and the pads. Make sure your M1 through M4 measurements are correct and reinstall. Should fix all problems.

$300? GO OUT AND BUY THAT SUCKER RIGHT GODDAMN NOW!

I CHECKED MY BACKGROUND BUT EVERYTHING IS OK!? Did I do this right???

I have no idea what is going on in this thread.... Isn't this info in your profile anyways?

Please do. I love reading technical writeups, you find out quite a bit about what's actually good for your vehicle. Tech docs for me are much more interesting than sales broshures. Seriously if I am wrong I'll admit it.

Where do you guys pull all this crazy misinformation on brakes from? :confused:

How are your tires, suspension, skidplates, and recovery gear? sssh

$300? GO OUT AND BUY THAT SUCKER RIGHT GODDAMN NOW!

I got my transmission and transfer case off those guys last year... they're a 10 minute drive from me so it's convinient. I also get my starters and alternators off them.. I know that they charged $500 CDN for my buddy's Pathfinder replacement engine... I always ask them if they'd be willing to bring a diesel Terrano front clip but they laugh at me. Fine I say... you have entire Skyline GT-Rs and EVO VII front clips all over the place but you won't bring me a truck one..

Actually it's 16% larger. sly

this is the dude: http://www.xterraquebec.com/forum/profile....iewprofile&u=33

Tell us more please. Clearly you have a top secret prototype Pathfinder that exists in no other place but your garage and my fruitful imagination! 6 or 5 speed?

So what happens when you need to go on trails with deep and long water crossings?

I call BS.

Chu gotta start wheeling son... sly EDIT: sweet Lord your sig is huge.

There is a dude in Quebec that I or Pezzy can get you a contact with that is a distributor for IPF lighting. The Xterra club that Pezzy is involved in has been getting their IPFs through them at very very good prices. Here is a pic of Craz4sno's Xterra that has been IPFized to the tits: I have seen those in action and they are quite good. Here is an example of them lighting up some nature from a run that my buddy and I did in the winter:

Is your current exhaust system shot? If not don't touch it. You'll bang up your muffler and tail pipe off roading so replace it with a cheapie one when necessary. You're best off getting some skid plates to protect your undercarriage first. As to intake, you can get a nice sexy snorkel from any decent 4x4 shop or fab up your own, there are a few good writeups available.

Then get the lower BJs and do those as well. They're harder to replace than the upper ones. There are two steering systems available, Calmini and L&P. Calmini is more expensive but more overbuilt and complete. They have chronic issues with their idler arm bearings but that's something that can be easily fixed. They also seem to have issues with stuff being constantly on backorder so if you're not in a rush that's good. L&P uses more stock components so it is easier to get replacement parts. It's also cheaper and they have much better customer service. Also they are easier to get a hold of as they're on this board.
