Cheers everyone! Towncilvian, If you have pics i'd love to see them. I'm more of a visual learner LOL

cheers! How long did this take you to do? 5 qts of tranny fluid?

I'm FINALLY going to order these today and hopefully knock it out next week after I come back from the field!

So, magnefine has 3 sizes of in-line filters... By chance do you remember what size we need?

Yeah, BUDDY! I'm going to put these on next week when I replace my timing belt! Thanks again!

Since my wife bought the Pathy 4 years ago it has ALWAYS "knocked" when going from 1st to 2nd. It's always been slight, but noticeable to me. A couple days ago I thought I felt it knock when DOWN Shifting... yesterday that got confirmed!!! DOH!

Glad it worked!

check the fuse first! That's the problem I've had

I posted an offer...

these are a little more expensive then halogen or hid bulbs BUT THEY'RE WAYYYYYYY WORTH IT (IMHO) https://www.rigidindustries.com/SearchResults.asp?Cat=149 And yes, I come from the desert race scene. I've seen these LED lights in person and they're AMAZING!!!!

WOW! I L-O-V-E the front!!!

I'd take 12.5 with 35s... I had a 2wd F150 prerunner on 35s- she only got about 8-9MPG with stock gears. My 4x4 Ranger on 35s was getting about 12-14MPG.... AGAIN, I'd BE HAPPY with 12.5 if I were you!

GREAT POST! Thanks!

X2 my apologies. I'm not one to sit behind a computer and talk @!*%... don't know what got into me. Dumb people... I guess. Anyway, X2 ^^^^^^^

I meant you were uneducated with what I quoted you on... If you get better gas milage with bigger tires you'd literally be THE FIRST person out of THOUSANDS on MULTIPLE forums that this has happened to that I know of. With stock gearing and going bigger than factory set tires you will loose efficiency (MPG) UNDOUBTABLY! And you are correct- if you don't change the trucks computer's "set tire reading" then you will have traveled further distance than your odometer reads, and you'll be driving faster than your speedo reads. With larger tires it takes longer to get the wheel around to make a complete circumference than it did before. This however does NOT mean you'll get better gas mileage. Now take your degrees and talk to someone who cares about them! Sorry to get off topic from the awesome work of the original thread poster.

CHEERS! That's to all that responded! I was thinking what they were saying was "bravo sierra". Any idea what the difference is between these two: https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/pathfinder-complete-trailing-arm-bushing-kit-p-6250.html https://www.4x4parts.com/nissan/complete-pathfinder-split-design-trailing-arm-bushing-kit-p-6244.html

You sir, are uneducated... 1. there's NO WAY you get better gas mileage out of larger tires! That's like saying a 300 pound brick house who benches 600lbs can run faster than a lean 5'8", 145 pound olympic sprinter because the meat head has more muscle. Larger tires mean more weight to go around which adds more friction which therefore causes the motor to have to work harder for the wheel to go around (mass+friction=more used power= LESS MPG) 2. if you're having to push a wheel out (away from the hubs) then there is added stress to wheel bearings. THEY WILL FAIL if taken to extremes.

... Nissan said it was a MAJOR pain in the ass and recommended I just replace all the bars b/c they come with the new bushings in them.... They were at $700 for the new bars and bolts

Just my .02- 1. It looks GREAT! KUDOS! 2. Be careful with those big of spacers... you'll be going through the wheel bearings like crazy! 3. REGEAR REGEAR REGEAR Not only will you get WAY better gas mileage AND performance with it, but at the time the shop is re-gearing you can throw in a locker! 4. I'm TOTALLY JEALOUS lol!

I had BFG AT's on one of my desert trucks... HATED them! They "popcorned" every time you wheeled, they're loud, and the have cupping issues IMO

finally got some time to look at it closer... EVERYTHING is tight. But when the passenger strut is compressed there is a noise coming from the strut itself... almost like there's no oil in the strut....

Nice! I think I might be able to see your white Pathy from here (Alaska)... nope, it's just Mt. McKinley!

What was it with the strut??? KYB replaced it or the shop did everything? Did this shop do the initial install as well?

The noise is only heard when the strut goes in and out.... TOTALLY weird. On a worse note, my rear 4 link bushings need to be replaced.... the parts from Nissan are nearly $680!!!!

I bought and put in new OEM ones... only approx 400 miles on them. I pulled the wheel off yesterday and everything appeared to be tight... I'll pull the wheels off tomorrow and retighten them down though. Thanks for the tip... hopefully it'll shut it up.
