as much as i would like to believe that... i'm really not too sure....

The All-Pro kit i used was the SAS 3-link for the Tacomas. The article i wrote that was posted has most of what you need to know for what you need. And you acutally don't use all the parts from the Tacoma. there is a new crossmember that the toyotas need that the pathy doesn't need and also i used hoops instad of the coilover buckets that come with the kit to mount the coilovers on the frame side. The coilover buckets and the crossmember that is not needed don't need to be purchased as part of the kit so it's acutally a little cheaper than the Tacoma SAS kit. I can get All-Pro products which will be going up on the website for sale soon. so if you need anything from them let me know! If anyone is considering using this kit on a pathy, let me know so i can help you out or give you a few pointers PM me if you need me to give you a call or need my number. i also have a few changes that i would recomend that were not mentioned in the article that came about after the article was written which will be covered inthe next article i write (yes, there is another one on the way!) some changes to help maintain road manners. and a few to help with a few very minor clearance issues that came about after i got the coilovers dialed in. it's not bad and atleast i can tell you about them before you get the truck together then have to tear it back appart!! and i agree with mookie, things will nickel and dime you sometimes even quarter you ha. but just do your research for what you want to do just like he said. Off-road my truck flexes extremely well. Here it is in action:

i'ts easiest to just use an 80's waggoneer D44

The pathfinder in the pic on the 4wheeloffroad site belongs to an emplyee of Advance Adapters and that pic was taken in the advance adapters parking lot. The truck has since been rolled and no longer operable

They arn't listed on their website but if you call them they will do it. I'm hoping to have them on before the next 4WD&SU Mag article.

Looks like the 5.5" Bronco dual rate rock crawler coils from Wild Horses are going to do the trick.

hey thanks man, I have the rear lifted quite a bit. from the ground to the frame is alomost 22" and i'm running Bilstein 5125 12" travel shocks on the rear. I'll have to get in touch with Ryan Gee to see what he says as well. I'm also going to to talking to Bodyman909 from Pirate4x4 today and go take a look at his rig. we'll see what happens.

on top of that you have already mentioned, clean the MAS and check for crakcs in your intake tube. i know my truck did REALLY WIERD things with a torn intake tube.

hey thanks guys, one more question.... whats the spring rate of the the springs datz 510 is running in the rear? i think he is using bronco springs. thanks for the help i'm just trying to really dial in the rear suspension. it's doesn't feel right, right now. at ride height the 185 springs that i'm using right now are compressed to 17 inches. but rides to soft. i need to get the same ride height with a stiffer spring.

I've been going round and round looking for anyone that knows the springs rate of the rear coil springs on the WD21 pathfinders. Knowing the rate of either stock or aftermarket springs from Calmini or Spencer Low Racing would help alot. or even knowing the stock rate of JGC springs that people have used would help. Thanks, -Steven

it's actually not too bad... i don't have the relo-kit and i change the filter with out much trouble at all.

heres the writeup on my rig. http://www.4wdandsportutility.com/tech/071...sion/index.html

Heres my .02 + a few bucks. You can do this all yourself if you have the right tools. This is what i used when i did mine... and i have had to do mine a few times probably pulled atleast6 or 7 busted studs all together. I used: -Small reversable drill -Reversed drill bit -good penetrating lubricant - the SQUARE EZ-out.. much stonger than the round ones [[you do NOT want to break an easy out in there]] -Lots of patience. spray the penetrating oil on the stud.... then let is soak for a few minutes and then hit it again. wait a while say 20 minutes atleast before you start drilling. the reversable drill and bit are so if the bit catches and jerks the stud it jerks it to the left to pull the stud out, instead of twisting it right pushing it in farther. sometimes you won't even need an EZ-out the bit will catch and it will come right out. But drill the hole all teh way through the center of the stud. spray you penetrating oil through new hole in the stud so it can work from the back side of the stud also. Wait a few minutes for the penetrating oil to do it's thing and then use the EZ-out to extract the stud. about the manifolds, you should be able to get them out and install headers without the removal of the engine. I honestly would not put manifolds back on because down the line you will be replacing studs again. Thorleys are the way to go. If you decide on the thorleys, PM me so we can work something out.

if it were me.... i'd start pulling the plastic on the steeting column (only a few screws) and start tracing the wires looking for burns like you were saying. electrical problems are always fun..... my carpet caught on fire once.... ha that was fun. the story of that is floating around here somewhere. [[don't worry though, it was my fault, not nissans]]

Ditto.. haha.. he'll miss the nissan soon enough.

Thanks guys. Let me know when you're ready to do yours. I'll get you set up.

I finally got the pic to work in the first post. looks like the forum changes any + symbols in the image URL to %20 when it should be turned into %2B .... and now my avatar is busted.....haha ah computers.. gotta love 'em

Thanks for the Compliments on the pictures! Adreas had 99% of the suspension done in a few days working by himself. but then there was the fender trimming and trailering to the exhaust shop, gear work etc. the more you can do in one location the better. But check out the article! If you want this done, i'd suggest contacting Toyota Masters to see what they can do for you. OR if you are willing to take on this project yourself PM me for numbers as far as parts go.

So i've been quiet on this board lately but i've been busy! Check this out! All-Pro Off-Road Nissan Pathfinder SAS

does anyone know the exact spring rate of the calmini 3" WD21 rear lift springs?

i'ts not vehicle specific. i shpwed up to a run last weekend with the pathfinder and yes there were alot of fj cruisers but also a hummer, 4 runner, and jeep. they are very friendly over there.

well that was settled pretty quick! lol but yeah def. get the thorleys

Hey everyone, a freind recently told me about adventure4x4.net and i was wondering if any of you have heard of it or are on it? seems like a cool forum (but not cooler than NPORA ) and it seems to be growing pretty fast.

1888-833-3225 hopefully this will save alot of headache for future nissan owners.

That would be great! i just ordered some bearing from the dealer (rip off!) so as soon as you get the bearing numbers to me i can cancle the order at the dealer. Thanks! -Steven
