Best deal: 4wheelparts.com's Shocking Deal...4 Pro-Comp ES3000 shocks AND a steering stabilizer for around $140.

Getcha a couple of CB antenna mount clamps and bolt the lights to those. They're relatively cheap at truck stops and work great. I drilled a small hole in my roof at the edge(not IN the drain channel, mind you) and ran wires through there, then siliconed it up. Run the wiring down the windshield pillar to the kick panel near your foot, put the relay down there, add a switch wherever you want it and voila, lights on the roof. You can also simply run the wiring up to the top of the door and just have them exit at the top through the door seal, I suppose.

Me too, considering that's what's been holding me up on getting my Pathy running again. Trans shop wants between $200-300 to install that same kit.

LOL I do that sometimes too, go figure. Mwuahahaha

Funny, I never got a reply. Bleh.

You've been misdirecting your effort into the wrong upgrades. The main problem is the wiring. It's undersized, not relayed, runs power through lengthy stretches of wire and through the headlight switch and on top of that, it's 12-13 years old! A relayed upgraded wiring setup will give you WAY brighter headlights. But those headlights do look pretty damn cool. I'd buy a set if I had the extra.

Woo, I found something. A "LSD insert" for all R200A diffs. Costs $230 USD and you have to have two of the spider gears ground flat for it to fit, but hmmmm. http://www.atlanticz.ca/zclub/techtips/lsdinsert/index.html I found that by Googling 'Nissan minispool R200*'.

After Googling Lokka lockers, I found this thread at Pirate4x4... http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=142846 I emailed and asked about it. Everyone else interested in a cheap locker for the R200A front diff email and ask for one! Site: http://www.offroadlockers.com/ Email: http://www.offroadlockers.com/contact.php/...28a7/9730/.html Yota guys now pay around $225 shipped for a front locker. WOW. Wouldn't that be kick-ass?

That really does suck. Ugh.

How rude. *un-moderators Pezzy*

Reply: Ow... $1 USD = $1.32 NZD My bad for not translating the currency rates before spouting off.

Who TASTES an AC system for leaks? *snic*

Dude, engine mounts aren't on that list.

See, I don't know it all. Mwuahahaha.

What do you need help with if you have it all hooked up already?

Usually it's tires that cause that. Perhaps you lost a wheel weight somewhere?

Reply! So, has anyone in Canuckistan ever seen a 2WD 4-door or what? Is that correct or no?

This site is amazing. How do they justify doubling the prices on the Calmini parts?? That's insane. Genie4x4: $699 Calmini: $349 W. T. F. I emailed.

Oh hell yeah! Good work, man!

Look in the Garage How-To section for how to change the t-belt and WP... AC problems are actually fairly common but usually easily fixable. Try a recharge first. Others will chime in on the AC topic and fill in blanks I don't have answers for, I'm sure.

SawZall/Oxy-Acetylene torch + old cat = 30 seconds of work to remove, usually.

It never fails to amaze me how little research people do before writing an article for a car review site. Here's an email I wrote to the editor/webmaster: To whom it may concern: From the webpage at: http://www.canadiandriver.com/articles/jc/...5pathfinder.htm written by Jeremy Cato: The following excerpts taken from the above webpage (in bold below) should probably be corrected or added to... I've also seen XE's and LE's with adjustable shocks. It was a customer-selectable option. I think I would disagree on that. The biggest fault in a 95 is the potential for frame rust in the rear. However, the steering system does suck, yes. Even mild offroad use will potentially damage the steering and require replacement parts over time. I have personally ruined a completely all-new stock steering system in under two days from offroading. Most of the fault of the steering's sloppiness is due to the centerlink design and the overall IFS design. Several aftermarket companies now produce beefed-up steering components that fix this problem completely. 31x10.50x15 tires on aluminum 15x7 wheels were also available for the XE, SE and LE models. Many Pathfinders came with them, it was a major advertising point in magazine ads in the late 80's. E models were bare-bones and had the 215's. All base XE's, SE's and LE's started with 235's. Not true, I've seen many 2WD 4-door Pathfinders. They have the same 2-piece driveshaft that most of the Nissan HB trucks use. First of all, this sentence needs restructuring! Secondly, you can shift into 4HI at up to 25 MPH on the road with the stock automatic hubs. How much more shift-on-the-fly can you get? Same as Toyota... The new instrumentation debuted in 1993, not 1994. AFAIK the front fenders from 87-95 all interchange, they are the same. No fender re-styling at all. A very decently built limited slip rear differential was a customer option from 87-95. The external tire carrier was also a factory option, it was not based on trim level. I've seen external tire carriers on all models. Thanks, 88pathoffroad Admin of Nissan Pathfinder Off-Road Association http://npora.ipbhost.com

Sure, try some strut spacers. Those give ya about an inch of leveling power for your front end.

Anyone in Oz know if this locker fits the R200A or if that's just for the Patrol front H233 axle? This site lists the Lokka locker for $689 or so, listing was added this year... http://www.genie4x4.com/shop/product_info....products_id=115 That's $608 in USD, BTW. Ouch!

No, I don't think the 95's have bumper bolts in the same place 87-92's do. *goes to look* I can't really tell from Google Image results. Someone eyeball their 93-95 front bumper and tell me if there are any round bolt-heads on the bumper in front near the center!
