Eh, I reckonized your rig from AC (LeftHandedMonkeyWrench) Nice video! And I've always thought you have a Nice Rig!

NICE!!! They're capable machines but not as 'moddable' as the WD's but good highway manners. I love fronties too but that R&P steering is a joy compared to my parents 00' Fronty. Once again not a huge aftermarker for us.... but its growing Too funny!

That's funny cause I must have called right before or after you cause Volrick said he had 8 people without me and I said Foookit and put my deposit down so I figured I was #9. Not that it matters much now but I think they might have like 10 total maybe!! Alright I'm done with my blabbering!

Hmmm so your getting another R50!??? sssh That pathy looks sick I really like the front end of the 99+ models. Anyway killer ride!

I got it too!

Good on ya Phil! And Gian, thats awesome and very deserving!

Well hopefully you have ventured over to the AC post on the TJM's winch bumpers they are trying to bring over. A limited run for the R50's. Nows the time to jump on that, I think they need like 1 or 2 more buyers. $50 deposit that goes toward the final cost. Check it out: http://www.4x4parts.com/ubbthreads/showfla...ge=0#Post514176

LMFAO!!

Hey Alex, Where'd you get the gears? Oh yeah add to that list/cost TJM bumper (A/C bb) Talk about timing, I think I need to jump on that cause this will probably be the only chance at a great opportunity like that :o Dear Santa, Send more money then previously asked.... :help:

Wow the timing is bad and good. I'm getting sliders done, thinking about going all in for a rear bumper and now the front bumper TJM style from Dean......Dang! I need more MONEY!!!! Aaarrrrrrgggh!!! Can't get a front bumper at this time.... I'm pretty sure I can't. Damnit I guess I'll watch to see if any others are interested .....

tecciball, Maybe this website can help. I ordered my Warn hubs through them. $134.90 shipped! http://autoaccessconnect.stores.yahoo.net/wa4x4malofrh.html

Got mine in 03 from my aunt for a sweet deal. 1/2 under blue book value. Suhweetah!

Yeah roger-that and thanks Dean.

Whoa! Thanks for the heads up guys, going to have to shop around then for some metric cap screws...I'll need to figure out what size exactly.....oh well

Also I'm wondering if I need to use something like lock-tite? And possibly high-temp brake grease like "dkpath96" had mentioned even though it says 'factory-greased" already....? Statikuz never mentioned (when installing the new bolts) that he used any lock-tite. ...?

Just received my manual hubs Manual Hubs And I was wondering about the bolts that secures the driveflange (threads on both ends). I will be replacing them but I was wondering if I needed to put anything on them. I know that will change its torque specification but I only ask because the drive flange had a rubber type of substance on it not sure what for. Please help to clarify. Thanks.

Really!? j/k

I wonder if there is a write-up someone has one this or is it really easy to do. I looked over the How To's and didn't see anything. Hey MichiganAve you can take the lead on this....

Um, lets see not sure what trail we took from S22 down to Pumkin patch but we also did 17 palms, 5 palms (?) and maybe 1 palm (not sure I mean it was just 1 palm) LOL ~ We probably were doing a bunch of trials just to get to pumkin patch. I was with a 4x4 club so they were leading and I was tagging along.

(in beginning) A few times lightly rolling (4HI) my whole driverside lifted up then abruptly fell back down....WTF! Anyway I had to leave it in 4HI the whole way home and even now but not driving it anymore till I can get these items in.

Oh, well they've been torn for quite a while and they finally grenaded on me recently 4bying at Anza-borrego. It must have been all those washes we ran through (most of the runs). Anyway they made some loud grinding noises and at full lock it became even worst.

Okay so I've read Dean's write-up and others on R&Ring the CV axles e.g. watching for the thrust washer, brake lines, etc. (I also downloaded the Service Manual for my rig) Is there anything else I have to watch for? I'll be putting on Warn Manual Hubs as well. I was also wondering about the whole re-greaseing the CV axle. What parts do I have to grease and what kind of grease? (any multi-purpose) Any "Special" tools I need? I have snap-ring pliers already. Please any advice would be greatly appreciated as I will rip into it this weekend. Oh yeah, how much time should I estimate for a first time try? :confused:

Yeah its located at the very top of this forum.

Yeah I guess I'm more worried about the clanging sound cause that has to be metal-to-metal hitting and I just don't want it to be grinding or damaging anything else other than the CV. I'll keep my fingers crossed I think my part comes in on TUesday. Thanks guys for the info.

Yeah your just going to have search like crazy all the pathfinder boards to see what certain individuals have done to gain power out of their VG33 - it won't be extreme but I think it has great potential to be a very decent and capable off-road motor. Like Turbopath said 98Silverpathy said that the cams worked great his pathy just had other underlying problems. Anyway there is a great pool of knowledge here so welcome and don't hesitate to add to it!
