  1. my rig is for offroad use only i dont drive it daily well i think its gonna work just fine :crossedwires: jeje

     

     

    ok, cool. you should be ok then.

     

    however, if you want to run any larger than a 33" tire, your not going to have enough gear.. example.

    to get back to stock ratio with 36" tires, you need to go to 5.38:1

  2. you guys are not correct.

     

    the difference is only. .98%.

    up to 1.5 % is acceptable.

     

    for example, Ford gears. Front Dana 44- 5.38, closest matching gear 5.43 (for the ford 9" in the rear). This has been done for YEARS. I used to run it in my rig.

     

     

     

    Run it.

     

     

    In addtion, with the old fords, quite often you saw a STOCK 9" and D44 combo of 3.5:1 and 3.55:1.

     

    this is .05 in actual ration difference, with what you are talking about is only . 06. (4.56-4.62)

  4. for doing sheet metal that would be fine.

     

    if your going to do any "fab work" you need a 220 machine, but don't get a stick welder if your doing sheet metal and just learning.. VERY difficult.

  5. If I went back and did it again it would be straight to SAS so I wouldn't have wasted all the money putting the front end back together every time I went wheeling. I think 87pathy is like me though and wheels hard. If you are careful you can keep the IFS together.

     

     

    hahah, you have no idea.. i beat on my stuff HARD.

  6. the only problem with mike,

    is that i have sean him off the trail several times.

     

    He was on the 196? on his side trying to pull his rig back over with a ****** come along all by himself.

    Nice enough guy, but.......

  7. you guys could run gotcha, main line, and rainier vista (there is a bypass at the top)

    any other trails your asking for body damange... maybe gotcha

     

    I know elbe very well.

     

    stay away from alder, and the busywild.

  8. Ive been interested in doing the Xterra Auto trans swap, when the time comes for a new tranny. I was wondering if anybody knows of any gains or problems with doing this swap. I did notice that the gearing is better for the first 2 gears but remain the same for 3rd and 4th. Are they stronger? Shift better?

    Also what is all involved in the swap? I read that you need to lengthen the harness. Do I get to keep my transfer case or do I need the xterra (output spline count)? Is the Xterra Tcase better?

     

    personnally, i wouldn't put an auto in it.. and the likely hood of you needing a new tranny is about ZERO.

     

    for the most part, the nissan manual trannies don't fail.

     

    Min stock manual has over 365k on it.

     

    the nissan autos are not known for being a good tranny.
