It probably grinds. Ive had this happen a few times when i had my white pathy. Its weird. Sometimes it happens sometimes it doesnt. You just need to be completely stopped, and stick it in N only. Not P. Idk why but it always seemed like it was smoother shifting when the trans was in N. Are you pushing down when you're going from 4hi-n-4lo and vice versa?

Its done, ill go take pics today hopefully and post them up.

if you get a different gas tank ya.

In your first picture, see the tiny phillips screw marked with a dab of paint? loosen the nut with i think an 8mm then slowly screw out the screw while watching your RPMs.

heres an update of the my friends r50. At the beginning of last weekend he moved it out of my garage and put it into his dads shop at his house to finish working on it, but this is how it was before it left, its all on its own weight now. We're using 6" lift Ford F-350 front coil springs in the front, and stock F-350 springs in the rear. Believe it or not it will flex.

Just the hubs, i dont have the studs, on r50s you can just use the factory studs.. Comes with the bolts and washers though.

ive got some in brand new condition, was on the 02 pathy for 6 months til sas'ing. $90 shipped..

The friend who bought my pathfinder, 2 months or so ago, got it in an accident tuesday night, some dumbass pulled out of the left turn lane right in front of him and he swerved and hit a mazda 3 right in the drivers front door. the mazda mirror dented in the front of the passsenger fender which broke off the mirror and took out the corner light, not much body damage but the front suspension took a lot of damage on the pathy, mazda just needs a new drivers front door and the tire mark buffed out of the rear. he was going maybe 25 but the mazda was doing at least the speed limit, 50. bent the tie rod and shifted the rack, bent the strut so he decided to sas. Waggy 44, jeep steering box, radius arm suspension front and rear, possibly coilovers in the front with just longer springs in the rear. Also we are in the process of building a high clearance front bumper for the front, so far it looks sooo sick! stinger and all. pictures to come this weekend,

oh i thought you were referring to each wheel/tire. IMO 52 lbs is nothing, thats like carrying a little child in the back seat.. or a big subwoofer box. BUT those wheels look a lot better then just plane jane steel wheels.

Well i did some research cause i didnt believe it when you said the steel wheel was 50 lbs more then the aluminum wheel. Your eagle 185 wheel 16x8 shipping weight is 24 lbs. A generic black steel wheel, i used the cragar 397 series, shipping weight on that is 37 lbs. Obviously the tire is going to weigh the same. So how did you come up with 50 lbs more?

Few reasons why it shakes at that certain speed, 1 its still imbalanced, have them statically balanced with a tape weight in the dead center of the wheel its easier and more effective of those type of wheels, 2 the tire "resonates" at the speed you are feeling the vibrations at, 3 its a BFG AT, brand new they already have a lot of movement in them. You just need to find a good shop with a good balancer that can take care of you.. Also the shops balancer could also need to be recalibrated, at discount tire we recalibrate our balancers every day to insure the best balance and fewer customers returning because they're car is shaking/vibrating.

ah, that makes sense now...

still not getting the "bro-truck" thing..

I tied the valve all the way open with i think really strong zip ties lol. It always held.

which is why i drive it and not you... There is a huge difference between the r50 and the titan suspension.. the titan can actually handle the 37s... at least so far..

I wasnt saying you were going with a 35.. i was just stating so people can refer back to this post so we dont have more stuff like this in the future. But thats cool.. some of us like to keep the fenders though, i just really dont understand why people chop the @!*% out of the fenders like that xterra. It'll sure be interesting seeing an r50 on 33s with stock height.

Theres no way youll fit 34s with just an AC lift, The max you can use with the AC lift is a 32. Its not so much trimming your fenders, its more of trimming your pinch seam so you can actually make turns. You had to use a specific offset on a wheel so you can clear the strut so you cant just suck the tire in more to be able to turn with 34s. My white pathfinder had the SFD and AC coils and i had 33x12.50R15 goodyear MTRs my black pathy was slightly higher then the white one and i had 33x12.50R15 BFG KM2s and still had to trim a decent amount. Why dont you just get a lift? Theres no way you'll fit anything over a 35" tire with just a 6" lift, 2" coils+SFD. I have a 6-7" lift on my titan and i still had to trim to run 37s... Oh and it'll be a nightmare turning anything over a 33 on the freeway. My white pathfinder just sucked on the freeway but i had 4.3 gears and an automatic, my xterra with 33s had 4.6 gears and a manual and it was alright.. But my VQ+5speed pathy was awesome. I had no problem turning 33s on 4.3 gears. I wouldnt run anything over a 35 on an r50, theres no point. Unless you SAS it of course then it opens a new row of doors.

The LSV has nothing to do with the ABS. The LSV allows more braking ability to the rear wheels when you're towing something, the more the suspension sags the more the rear brakes "break". What i did on my gen1 r50 was just stretch out the spring, and then i just locked in the LSV to allow full brake pressure to the rear wheels cuz i was running 33" tires. The reason for adjustment is when you lift your pathfinder, it pulls on the LSV reducing the brake pressure to the rear axle. The more lift you have with out adjustment the less pressure to the rear, the lower your car is the more pressure.

i ran 33x12.50R15s on my VQ r50 and it was fine... you wont notice that much of a difference on the VQs like you would on the VGs.. I just installed some 37x13.50R20s on my titan a week ago.. If you thought those bfgs were heavy...

why would you warrenty them out? is the shock damaged?

Are these just going to be 1" strut spacers to level out lifted trucks? Every single stock r50 ive seen sits level, if not maybe at most 1/2" nose down.

When i had the ome lift on my pathfinder i had the HD coils with a 1" front strut spacer with no camber alignment bolts and everything worked out just great.

well obviously you havent been to moab during easter jeep.. your sarcasm is really starting to get annoying.. And stop putting words into my mouth.. afaik my titan gets farther offroad then my pathy does.. And its body on frame.. big problem with the pathy is the lack of frame, and im not saying that to be stupid, if and when you rip your inner fender out of your firewall you'll understand where i come from.. Thats why I bought an xterra, then i wanted to get back into the r50 with a 3.5, now i just want something bigger and nicer.

I live in utah, all we have up here are rocks... I dont think the r50 pathfinder was ever made for off-roading so whats your point? Buy whatever you want and build it to what you want to do.. thats what ive done and its worked out pretty well so far.. I'd probably never take the titan on half the crap i took the pathy on because of size of the trail and/or the width of the trail. I really didnt buy the titan to go offroading in to begin with.

seems to wheel a lot better then my pathfinder.... But its got the pro comp 6" lift on it with racerunner coilovers in the front, deaver leafs in the rear with the racerunner 2.0 shocks, its a lot smoother then the pathy over all the bumps too. The titan is more solid then the r50 pathys, way more ground clearance, just have to worry about the tight spots sometimes, because its wide and long, but im starting to come out of the daily driver offroad truck. I'll probably pick up an old WD21 or even maybe an 84 4runner with the factory solid front axles to play around with. The non big tow/offroad titans came with 2.94 gears, the big tow and offroad models came with 3.36 gears. Which if any company makes as gear set to match the front, ill be swapping in a D60 into the rear. but so far the D44 has held up just fine. And ive romped on it. But now that all the snow has melted i just crawl along.
