OoooooK. Lemme give it to you simple, so you don't have to search more and ask more and so on. The following companies make UCA lift kits for Nissan HB pickups and Pathfinders: Calmini. Superlift. Rancho. Rough Country (repackaged Superlift kit) AC. Those are listed in order of quality and preference. Calmini's best, AC's worst. You do not need longer shocks if you install a body lift. A body lift does not affect your suspension, it merely lifts the body off the frame. The front end will be fine with stock length shocks. A UCA lift does not increase front suspension travel, it merely re-adjusts the ride height to a point higher than stock and allows for proper realignment, steering adjustments and tire wear. On the rear, if you use lift springs, you can still use stock length shocks but the shocks will be your limiting point on rear axle travel. Longer shocks in the rear are a good idea when lifting the rear, they allow more axle travel. More travel is a good thing when offroading. New UCA's are fairly easy to install. It took me about 1 hour tops to install a new pair on my Pathfinder. Eight bolts per side and you're done. Good 'nuff?

Nonono, the brackets inside the body are spot-welded to the body and then the rest of the body is spot-welded around them. The tire carrier bolts on, yes. The interior brackets with the captive nuts that the bolts go INTO, however, are spot-welded in.

Where are you located?

PM me your address and I will send you one free. I have one on hand.

Also check your glove box light. Make sure it turns off when you shut the door...

You don't HAVE TO buy a front kit to go with the rear, it just works out better that way. If you can't afford it, simply crank up your torsion bars and have it aligned so that the front isn't doing a crazy nose-dive compared to the rear. I ran my Pathy for three years with stock UCA's and cranked t-bars, with no alignment or tire problems. Calmini offers a UCA lift kit (best you can buy), AC offers one(but I really don't reccommend it), Rancho offers one(kinda crappy, nobody really uses it), BDS offers one (replacement t-bars and rear coils but no replacement UCA's), Superlift offers one(but it's listed as only for a HB pickup), and Rough Country offers one, it's basically the exact same as the Superlift kit. I have the Superlift setup and it works great.

I've TRIED putting those brackets in with the taillight removed, and they physically don't fit in there with everything spotwelded together. Maybe if I cut them down they'll fit, but the fullsize brackets don't fit in there. And that's just for the top hinge. The bottom inserts are completely spotwelded in and surrounded by sheetmetal. I have no idea how to get those in there.

The amount of steam you see coming from your exhaust also depends on the relative humidity of the air at that time. I've seen my breath on 60 degree days before...

All of the above...mine weighs about 4400+ lbs without me in it, has 33" tires, 4.625 gearing, roof racks, spare tire on the roof, lights on the roof, 40 lb skidplate, add-ons, etc...I get about 10-12 MPG. Be thankful you're getting better than that, eh? These things never were rated for high gas mileage. 15 city 18 highway is stock MPG.

That's only on R50 Pathfinders, from 1996-up. You probably won't notice any change in fuel mileage on a WD21 Pathy.

Yep, it's simply a rubber seal pressed onto the edges of the windowframe. Pull the old one off and press the new one on. Very simple replacement.

The install on a VG30E is exactly the same as on a VG30i. MaritimeMan and I installed one on his '92 in a few hours with no problems and used the exact same procedures and steps. I only took one pic of it, because it was the same all the way.

Degrease and pressure wash underneath so you can tell where the leak is coming from. It could be tranny fluid, t-case fluid, engine oil, etc. Was it wet outside while you drove to the mountain? Dunno about the smoke/steam from the exhaust pipe. OK... does it disappear into the air when you have it running, or does it just kinda float away and get thinner but you can still see it? Burnt oil smoke is bluish, excess fuel is black, coolant is white. Normal exhaust has a good amount of steam in it from the combustion process anyway, that's why your tailpipe drips in the summertime, ya know?

The flasher is plugged in underneath the dash on the driver's side near the firewall. It may be that the flasher was the problem to begin with...

Have you replaced your fuel filter lately? Your MAF sensor could need cleaning or replacing also.

Yeah, that's not the problem though. Putting them in is impossible unless you cut sheetmetal out of your way first. Please tell me I'm wrong. I have a tire carrier in my garage that's been sitting there for like a year now...

As far as I know: Open the window. Pull the old seal off. Put the new seal on. Shut the window. I'm heading out to the junkyard tomorrow, I'll rip one apart and see if I'm wrong and there's a trick to taking it out. I'll get back to you on that one, OK?

Checked your fuel pressure? Fuel filter replaced recently or old? The injectors don't usually just die, AFAIK. The mass airflow sensor is integrated in the TBI unit. The EGR valve wouldn't cause a no-start condition.

Only if you want to trim a LOT of fender sheetmetal... Generally, the only way to fit 33's without rubbing is to install a 3" body lift and a 3" suspension lift. Mine STILL rubbed after the 6" lift until I trimmed the fenders even more. These things don't have big enough wheelwells, man.

There is no MAP sensor. That's the acronym for a manifold absolute pressure sensor, correct? You looking for the mass airflow sensor or the exhaust gas recirculation valve instead?

Remove it, hang it up in a place you can wash it off, scrub it with carpet cleaner, hose it off and hang it up to dry. It IS removeable.

A locker will click repeatedly around corners, but not when going over bumps.

Hmmmm, that's kinda generic. Why don't you try and determine where the wet smell is strongest or the windows seem to be wetter and go from there?

Well, at least 50K or three years, I'd say.
