That's what I needed to know! Thanks!

Okay so size-wize it'll hold it, but the added weight won't cause the body to crack because of stress? I know the tire carrier (outside) on mines seems to be real beefy, I guess I'm just paranoid from all the horror stories I heard about other Jeeps back when I had my Cj5.

I'm needing to replace my spare, it's the original and is showing it. My best friend's day runs a tire shop and was recommending getting a full-size spare (31in) instead of the original small one. So my question is will the stock tire carrier hold a 31in tire mounted on a lego rim without any problems?

Thanks for the help! Just what I needed to know!

Well I adjusted the t-bars and now it sets at the appropriate ride hide. Thanks for the help! Although what you said about the compression rod bushings got me to thinking if mine need to be replaced. I don't know if or when they have, but I don't want to replace them if they are still in good shape. Any way to test them, either visually or some other way?

I know it doesn't make any sense, but I have pictures before and after and the front is clearly setting lower. replaced the cv axles a while back on my dad's and we both noticed it sat lower after we put the new ones on.

Today I just finished replacing the cv axles on the front of my 88. After I got everything put back on and lowered the vehicle off the jack I noticed that the front end was sitting a bit lower than before I replaced them. Did I somehow knock the torsion bars out of adjustment? I've never messed with these before, but looked at the how-to in the garage section. What I'm wondering is do you just jack up the front of the vehicle and then loosen the locknut and tighten the bottom nut on both bolts on the crossmember? The how-to section was a bit more involved, but I'm thinking that was just because it was showing you how to get more adjustment if it was already maxed out?

From the diagram that looks like exactly what I need. I didn't see an option to specify the color of the striping though Hmm hadn't thought about it, but the dealership may still be able to get them.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the problem you're having, but check to see that the EGR valve is not stuck open.

I'm thinking about having my 88 pathfinder repainted in the near future. It's long been needing it, and i've convinced myself to do it. I'm wanting to paint it back to the factory "flare red pearl" color, and I would like to keep the pathfinder letters and striping on the side to retain the factory look. I was wondering if there is somewhere that sells this striping kit, or am I most likely going to have to get it custom made?

My dad has a 95 model, and during winter months the temperature gauge barley moves. The heater gets plenty hot, and gas mileage stays the same. During the summer months with the A/C running the temp gauge can get up to about halfway between hot and cold. Maybe these are just cool running engines

Haha good point! Mine sure could use a helping hand... It's getting better though!

Sounds like the wrong kinda wash to me! I sure appreciate it!

Thanks, good to know! So I'm guessing the hose in question is supposed to attach to this port (or vent) on the side of the trans?

Hmm yeah that's what I was wondering. I couldn't see any evidence of fluid leaking out of the hose, so I'm thinking you might be right. Just wanna be sure.

Hey guys. I was looking up underneath my pathfinder earlier today and noticed a hose on the passenger side of the transmission that was unplugged. I looked around to see if I could tell where it could've come off of and I found a port almost on the very top of the transmission that points diagonally out of the side, with no hose attached to it. Well common sense told me that the length and size of this hose was just right to fit on this newly found port. The other end of the hose goes to a t-fitting on some metal lines that run along the passenger side frame rail. I didn't just want to ignorantly plug this in without knowing what it was. Any ideas. I'll try and post a picture or two tomorrow if I get a chance. Thanks!

Mine look exactly like yours. Does the bracket on the guard go on the outside of the tail light, or between the tail light and the little cover on the side of the tail light?

How'd you guess? -_- This is gonna be a fun return....

So I bought some brand new tail light guards the other day off of Craigslist. The ad said that they would work for a 87-92 Pathfinder. Mines an 88, but I know all the WD21's have the same tail light. Problem is the guard is not wide enough. I mean all of the mounting holes line up, and the bracket on the side of the guard is the same shape as the side of the light, but they just won't work. So I got to thinking are these for a hardbody pickup? I've seen pictures, and the taillights on them seem to be a bit narrower than the pathfinders. Does this sound probable?

Yeah I hear ya. That 4th speed makes a big difference. Well what I did is went to the local pull a part and took the who heater control assembly out of either a pathfinder or a hardbody. It helped get me familiar with the installation process without tearing up something on my truck. I think the whole assembly was less than $20. The biggest difficultly in getting the control unit out is unhooking the cables that attach to the levers. Very little room to work, and alot of brittle plastic parts.

The little lever that you move back and forth to change the fan speed, that's connected to the switch. It's a pain to get out. I just decided to live with only 3 speeds for now, cause I don't wanna risk breaking everything trying to fix it.

Ah you have the same problem as me. It doesn't sound like its the resistor though. If the resistor was bad the fan would only work on 4 and not on the other speeds. The fan switch has probably got a dirty/corroded contact, so it's not letting power get to the motor on the 4 speed setting.

I'm wondering if the side rails from the 4 door models will work with the earlier 2 door models? I've seen plenty of the 4 door rails, but I've never seen any 2 door rails around at the junkyard. Really it looked like the only difference I could pick up on was just the overall length. Also will this bumper work for an 88 Pathfinder? https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/arb-winch-mount-bull-bar-p-378.html I've seen a couple people on here have a bumper similar to this one, not all with the brush guard part, but I was wondering if they make anything like this for my model? Thanks guys!

Well I did some more checking today and I am still having the same issue. When the temp gauge is about in the middle, the door in the snorkel is still closed. I've checked, and all the hoses appear to be routed correctly and free of plugs, so I'm thinking something is amiss with this little sensor/switch. I mean I know i've got the vacuum, it just ain't shutting off. Too much vacuum! Any way I can test this thing? I used a hair dryer, but that test didn't seem to help too much.

Thanks! I'll be sure to check that!
