  1. 343388 don't freak out if you get a silver GR2 and a black Excel-G - they are the same shock/same #
  2. What lift are you on right now? Looks awesome
  3. And so you swapped over the entire diff, carrier and all? It was an option on QX4's. I found a 97 QX4 locking rear axle assembly at a junkyard about 200 miles away, best option at this point. Wonder if it would even be worth it though (given the amount of work and $200 price of diff)
  4. Thanks for the info. Trying to lock the rear simply/cost effectively (at least less than the only aftermarket options which appear around $1k range). Welding the diff is probably a bit too aggressive
  5. Howdy, I have an open rear diff in my 97 QX4. Would I be able to swap the LSD from an 01 Pathfinder over? Could I swap just the LSD guts over or would I need to swap the entire carrier over? Thanks!
  6. I would start looking at the turbo - do you have a boost gauge to check that it's creating the right pressure under boost? I would check for boost leaks or exhaust leaks (before the exhaust gets to the turbo)
  7. Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I was clicking around the announcements and this was a shock to me. Jared was a great guy and helped out a young, dumb me around 2007-2008. I was in my first year at CWU and had a black 92 Pathfinder that I put all-terrains on so I thought I was a badass offroader. There were some great trails north of Ellensburg that I would frequent, and one particular outing I got stuck in super deep snow. I had to walk out about 5 miles with a friend (learned a lesson not to wheel with only one car!). I had no idea what to do. After some brainstorming I thought to look into local offroad forums, seeing if anyone around the area could help salvage it. I pleaded my case to some central Washington offroad forum, Jared responded and offered to help. Even though his pathfinder was way more built than mine, deep snow is nothing to mess with - luckily Jared had a backup plan. He picked me up and we started off towards the mountains - got to know him a bit, cool laid back guy. We got to my car and luckily no one else had discovered it/messed with it, it had been sitting in a deep gully off of the trail for a good 2 weeks. Jared got stuck as well trying to get closer and attempt a tow, but didn't panic at all. He had been talking to someone on CB, a friend of his. He was giving updates on location and it turns out this friend of his was the actual planned rescue the whole time, he was in a trailered single-seat Toyota on 40" swampers - a fully built crawler. When the Toyota arrived Jared and I stood back in wonder as this thing tooled in and out of the gully with ease just to show how capable it was, then lined up to winch us both out. Found some pictures on my old photobucket Me stuck: Jared stuck: Rescue: I'm sure they both thought I was a dumbass kid (which I was) but they were both super cool about it and helped me out immensely. My parents would have been pissed had they known. Afterwards I would wave any time I saw him driving the pathfinder around, unfortunately didn't keep in touch/hang out due to being different ages and cliques. I'll never forget the time he saved my ass though, taught me a love for offroading at the same time. RIP Jared!
  8. On the topic of intakes: most nissan air filter adapters work, I used one for a Maxima/300zx. You can find them under $20 shipped with the filter
  9. It's actually just an ebay dish wheel - 350mm and hub for a 240sx. Can be had for $50 shipped, but have to deal with airbag warning light.
  10. LOL true I only see black or that white/tan two-tone QX4.
  11. Howdy ya'll, You'll notice my 2006 join date back when I had a 93 pathfinder. I'm once again back into a pathfinder (sorta) in the form of a 97 QX4 as a winter beater/daily (my summer/track car being a Dakar yellow e36 M3). I've added an aftermarket steering wheel, short ram intake, and some 31's on unknown brand steel wheels. Looking forward to lifting it and adding some lockers perhaps. So many good trails around me!
  12. mines black, looks great at night because you cant see all the imperfections. It used to be a california car so it has some nasty oxidization on the roof, but who ever sees that anyway?
