  1. Well 2011 was the first year the R50 took home the truck of the year...as WD21 owners we need to do our part to bring back the title to where the Pathfinders originated.!

     

    Go to truck of the month section and make it happen.!!

  2. I have not done it to this axle yet... They are configured the same way. The only problem being how they hook up. The easiest way would be to cut the lever and all out of the floor of the Rodeo.

     

    In the past I kept the backing plate that holds the cables in place. Then made deal that held the two cables on one side and hooked up to the Nissan lever on the other.

     

    This current setup will be different being I am changing the parking brake lever to be the under dash assembly from a Hard Body adapted to the the Isuzu cables. This will make room for a nicer center console. Love me some cup holders....

    yea i was thinking to just go cut out the Rodeo set up...probably do that this weekend...ill hit you up if i run into any issue...thanks

  3. So to answer your question... It will take a little time to make this a "great" product. I would say two-three months you will see something offered. Probably see what folks think at Gone Moab before it is.. (This setup will be made to work for the first gen Xterra folks too)

     

    thank you...

    off topic...how did you hook up your Parking brake cables for the Rodeo swap..?

  4. new hubs

    its like night and day comparing the old and new hubs.

     

    time to install the new hubs

     

    Now slide in the new hub (nice that the hubs are all one piece)

    Install the new snap ring provided with the new hubs

    make sure the ring is completely inside the grove in the hub

    Install the new cap

    now test the new ones out...test by locking in the hub and spinning the wheel forward which turned the axle, turn dial back to free and test its release by spinning in reverse

    If everything locks in and out then you are finished.!

     

    Total process will take 30 min tops...scale from 1-10 on difficulty is 3

  5. So my driver’s side hub was not locking in correctly and they were cheapo's anyways...so I purchased a new set of Warn hubs.

    I decided to do a little write up on it.

     

    To get things stared I blocked the rear tires then jacked up the front end. (you don't have to jack up the truck to do this job, I did it so i could turn the tires while checking to see how the new hubs work)

     

    Here are the old beat down plastic hubs.

    The cap is held in by 6 allen bolts that you need to remove.

    Now you need to remove the snap ring located inside the hub

    Next remove all the internal parts of the manual hub (gears, washer, and the spring) and wipe out and clean the inside of the hub

    removal is complete...

  6. installed Warn Premium hubs...my other ones were junk

     

    I also took some measurements to fit my spare on the stock tire carrier...need to think of a different idea for the spare, its hangs too low so I am thinking about moving the mount up until I build my bumper...

     

    and I got my windshield washer fluid to spray again...

  7. Crawled underneath and looked for a mystery noise. One of my lower links moves side to side quite nicely. It looks like someone tried to use the mount as a jack point at one point in its life. I'm not sure if its the bushing or it just needs to be tightened, I need to jack it up and see.

     

    don't jack it up on the mount... :shrug:
