I have 33's on my rig, and a matching spare. Being that they stick out(the carrier) quite a bit, I don't think there is a limitation in height. Most of us don't run much bigger than 33-35's. What the biggest issue is, is weight. The carrier bushings are well known to wear out and cause noise and closing issues. Rebuild them if needed. Add moe weight, might have to rebuild them more often.

Your a small business owner, right? If you had a website, or whatever, you wouldn't want a competitors product all over it, would you? No offense, but I thnk you are blowing this a bit out-of-proportion. That have thier policies, just like there are policies here. If you want to plaster your rig on their website, follow thier rules, no matter how silly. I used to post on there, but it wasn't that interesting. I have been a happy customer with them, btw.

Meh, it's their website/company, their rules. Whatever.

Oh man, maybe timing belt. I would take the cap off the distrbutor and see if it turns when you crank it over. Maybe jumped a few teeth. Your pedal has no feel? Make sure the cable didn't snap or come loose from the thottle pivot.

Did you put a grassroots link in?

On board shower kit! Several companies make them or build our own!

Welcome! Most questions regarding anything mechanically, are usually posted in the garage section, but no big deal. Using the search functions is always a big help to find info from members who don't check in often. As far as you suspension question, read this... http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/20711-suspension-lift-information/ And see if it helps. If you have more questions, ask away!

What load rating are they?

No check engine light on? Or no code set? Do you have spark when this happens? You can also unplug the MAF sensor and see if it runs in fail-safe. Coolant temp sensor could also be messing with you.

Maybe their version of a EGR valve gasket

Ding ding ding! Wiiiiiinnnneeeerrrrr! I think I see one on the other side as well.

I guess no one noticed what's behind the left rear tire?

Ok, so the torsion bars had been pulled, then leveled with a alignment. Possible something loose or not installed correctly with the torsion hangers. I wasn't sure if you were stating, or someone else, about the noise coming on during sharp corners. If so, the power steering stops may be missing their caps. You can apply some grease to where they contact. I would also take a look at your front sway bar mounts, at the front crossmember. I've seen the bolts fall out for no good reason. There should be lots of zerks to grease. Tie rod ends(inner and outers), upper ball joints and the front drive shaft. Take a look and see what you find.

Thinking out of the box here.... Spark plugs? What heat range did you use? Your a nissan guy, I'm sure they are NGK's. What's the engine timing at? When's the last time you checked it? Throttle body clean? Engine grounds all attached?

Hammer and chisel? Access to a angle grinder? You could cut a small slit in the head of the screws then back them off with a flat blade screwdriver.

Sorry to hear about your troubles at the dealer. You are right, if you spent that much there, they should take your noise concerns seriously. So I am clear, if I jumped into your rig, how/when does the noise happen? The more specific, the better. Can you take a video of the noise as it happens? And as stated, where are you? Maybe someone can help you out.

Dirty MAF? Loose a vacuum hose somewhere? Crappy gas?

How about greasing it first...... http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/17227-how-to-lube-your-spare-tire-carrier/

Ya know, there is a TSB for water getting in the o2 sensor connector and it would cause a misfire. I will have to do some digging to find it.

Wheeling, in general, is a lot more than plowing through mud. Gys usually build their rigs for their local terrain. Your right, big tires and big lift don't mean much of anything, well, unless your compensating for something. If you pay attention to the big, well know off road builders, they have changed from tall, stiff suspensions, to low slung, soft suspensions with lots of travel. Heck, even king of the hammers had rigs going to full independent suspensions! This hobby is changing everyday, but maybe that's why some of like it so much. Personally, I like having a bit bigger tire(33's, woohoo!). The pathfinder in general looks a lot better with a bigger tire. Some say "If your not breaking stuff or getting stuck, your not trying hard enough!". While i agree pushing your limits is a good thing to do, I don't think it necessary you need to break stuff every time you wheel. It's is what a good dual purpous rig is about. Works great off road, but can still take you to work everyday.

Here a a few threads about people's opinion and feelings toward the new 'finder..... http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/33983-2013-pathfinder/?hl=%2B2013+%2Bpathfinder http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/31913-2013-pathfinder/?hl=%2B2013+%2Bpathfinder

Washed him. Not really sure when I did it last. Flushed the frame as always.
