  1. "Tip: install manual locking front hubs. I did this to the wifes 99 R50 and got +2mpg instantly. They were MileMarkers for $90 so no great investment." How hard are they to install? Does it require taking the front axle off and fiddling with teh transfer case and such? I am at college so I have no garage or really equipment (socket set and some screwdrivers I do have) to do the swap with if it involves more than a few simple steps' "I owned a 84 720 also. Best vehicle I have ever owned so I know what you mean. It led me to buy a WD21, another WD21 and an R50... " I wanted a WD21 but not having airbags was kidn of an issue of me and parents (who helped buy). I like the older, truckier feel of SUVs (see FJ60) , but the R50 is damn nice too.
  2. Howdy I'm new to this forum...I joined "thenissanpath" and posted up and never saw any response...maybe that forum isn't used as much? Anyhoo, I aquired my 1998 Pathfinder XE (I am assuming it's an XE, manual windows, locks etc) in april and aside from the not so awesome mpg I love it...I was expecting low MPG's though becasue we weere in the market for a while so I did do my research. My pathy replaced a 1986.5 D21 that I had...loved the little truck but lack of people space, airbags adn 4wd was kinda not fun after a while. Glad that I had it though as it taught me to always carry tools with me! My dad owned 2 1984 720's, which is why I buoght the D21...he has since moved on to an 84 FJ60 Cruiser though. Anyhoo, I am glad I have found somewhere to get info on what to look out for and the how to's. IV
  3. @Fukin.. humor this early in the AM helps :coffee!: Thanks for pointing that out, I secretly knew that. @nunya..thanks, I will prolly just keep an eye out for an R50 being parted out that has a brush guard on it...
  4. Going to hijack my own thread...would a brush guard and trailer hitch on the front/back of an early 90's pathfinder bolt into the front/back of my 98? Or did they change the frame around and such?
  5. Bullocks...too bad so sad oh well. That is good to know about the wheel, as it can be unnerving to drive down the road knowing that my spare will not serve much purpose if I catch a flat.
  6. Greetings from NoVA and Shepherdstown. I aquired my 1998 XE in april and have had a good time with it. I am wondering though-would a wheel from an 86.5-95 pathfinder fit on mine? I am looking to repalce my spare (nice and rusted) and don't want to have to buy a brand new wheel and it seems parts from the earlier Pathfinders are in abundance. Also-is it possible to take the rear swing out tire mount off of an 86.5-96 pathfinder and mount it on my 98 with minimal drilling? Thanks IV
