  1. Even though they aren't listed on their site, I'm pretty sure Shrockworks will sell you some: http://www.shrockworks.com/Nissan-Skid-Plates-c-260.html
  2. Sorry to dig up an old thread - anybody know what is going on when an R50 throws P0021? All I can find is this page: http://www.engine-light-help.com/P0021-che...gine-light.html ...but it's pretty generic info, so I wondered if anybody had VQ specific experience??
  3. I couldn't find the Thorley's on Summit...do you have a link?
  4. Pretty sure that when I looked into it before, Calmini did not retain the stock bushing size - hence my move to Rough Country UCAs
  5. "Because of the cachet of the world-famous Ford name..." Aw man, too much - I needed that laugh.
  6. I think that actually sums it up nicely - Why piss off the few people left in the world who might actually purchase one of your non-truck products?? *shakes head*
  7. Amen to that brother - I am still waiting for the day somebody figures it out. I am also finding it a pain in the butt in the snow - I have to turn it off even when in 2wd as it is horribly unpredictable. Of course, even when the VDC is disabled, you still have the goofy traction control, which is the real problem when off road.
  8. I had my dash all ripped apart to install a new stereo, had to go out for new wire and had no signals. It turned out to be because I had the hazard harness unplugged...so it is definitely tied together. Check that harness and even try swapping out the hazard switch for one from another truck that you know works.
  9. Dude, because it's not on their site yet. Since you're so desperate for mods, order all 3 and you can post the pics up here for us! BTW, what is up with your links?
  10. They will make a bumper that looks like the Fronty bumper, just mounts up a bit differently. I might be interested in sliders if they would make them long enough...and they are more realistic $$ until my lottery numbers come in Now if only I knew somebody in the US to get them shipped to. Ooops, just looked back in my email again: Wayne, We have a Pathfinder bumper and sliders, and full underbody skids...Unfortunately it is not on the site yet. The bumper looks exactly the same ( I think it's the same price), we just worked out the mounting. You can call to order. thanks, Nick
  11. Thanks everybody!!! I spent the day at home relaxing with the kids...I am sure it was much more fun than wheeling Minden with Simon and Carri.
  12. I recall a thread on NTC on this subject. Of course I can't find it now, but at the time the only wheels available required the use of spacers and were not recommended. I am also interested for my R51...
  13. EXACTLY my first thought dude. Japanese manufacturers taking styling cues from the Koreans? If you had told me it would happen 10 years ago, I would have laughed.
  14. No-no, just researching for others In fact, I took a long lunch to go and look at the FJs today. Here is the response from Shrock...the fact that they replied to an email same day is a testament to the company: Wayne, We have a Pathfinder bumper and sliders, and full underbody skids...Unfortunately it is not on the site yet. The bumper looks exactly the same ( I think it's the same price), we just worked out the mounting. You can call to order. thanks, Nick
  15. I deeg, I deeg. I just sent Shrock an email to see if there would be any issues with installing on a Pathy...but you're right Pezzy, it should work!
  16. Thanks everybody! ...and for the record, it doesn't just LOOK like I am crapping myself, I just had. Thanks to Simon for saving me a tow, a $3000 diesel swap and my marriage. Also thanks to Pezzy for splitting her steak with me that night EVEN THOUGH I would have been fine with my pretzels! :tonguefinger:

    Game On!

    Pretty sure those guys are running a grow-op in there...better call somebody about that. :tonguefinger: BTW, keep the ideas coming, I need some good ones for my next door neighbours as well!
  18. Bummer man, although I haven't had any serious issues yet, they just don't seem to be built like the WDs. One thing I just noticed the other day was that my AC never seems to shut off...whether the light is lit or not, it blows cold air when the fan is turned on. The realization that you may have purchased a POS is a really bad feeling. Not a good sign that somebody is turning from Japanese to domestic for quality reasons!
  19. Having just been through this, go out and drop $200 on a 4 channel aftermarket amp and completely bypass the factory amp, or better still find one on fleabay. Almost anything (including nothing) will be better than the factory amp.
  20. ^^^ What they all said buddy...good to know your alive and kicking! The good news is that once you have a kid all of the other stresses seem insignificant...uh, well I guess that is kinda bad news
  21. BAh, it was freshly oiled, I was never worried!
  22. Max you old fart...happy bday man!
  23. There is definitely some crappy stuff about the new ones, but I am sure that people were all over Nissan when the R50 was first released as well. It's just a new set of challenges now...some just can't handle change. In 5-10 years, the same people will be wheeling the sh!t outa the R51 as well, although it is a huge bummer that 2 axles will have to be swapped instead of just 1
