I always use a torque wrench. My JEEP's steel wheels are very sensitive to over tightening. The first set of wheels got wallowed out by a tire shop over tightening them. But then in 20 years on my last Pathfinder, I don't think any used a torque wrench on the lego wheels. In the end I vote torque wrench.

They worked decent when new, but that was a long time ago. Many either don't work by now, or are so worn out that it really doesn't make a difference. I'd check that all the connections are tight, at the switch and the shocks first if you want to get it working.

Sweet! Love your Terrano and so glad that you were able to bring it with you! I'm impressed at your milage. I thought I was hot stuff getting 24 highway!

I love my Geolandars. They'll pretty old (10 years), but they do great off road, and the road noise isn't too bad. I think Yokohoma has a more street friendly version of them and a slightly more off road friendly version. If they still made the exact set I run right now I'd buy them again in a heartbeat.

RHD*

Yes. I see LHD cars out in LA and at car shows. Gov't doesn't care AFAIK (shockingly).

"Off road" is open to interpretation. If I used 4lo on a lot of the trails I like it would take me days....

Why would they convert to LHD? Thats a lot of effort to get rid of half the coolness of an imported diesel Terrano.

Not a fan of Borla exhaust. Had a lot of drone issues with it. PO on my dad's Pathfinder even had the Borla muffler replaced with Magnaflow due to drone.

I hate dents but I'm not worried about paint. The way I see it, unless you take the paint off, dont repaint unless it will no longer be an off roading vehicle. My Jeep's paint is absolute crap rattle can grey from the PO, but I never repainted it because it can get scratched up like crazy and I wont worry. I'll repaint it when I restore it to stock.

There's also the Jeep style lights that go above the tire, although Im sure that affects visibility out the back. I've seen "universal" kits for that style stop light. If you have a tire rack and dont use a cover there are also LEDs that go in the unused lug nut holes.

If you go on the FB page you can view the admins, there are only two....

I left the facebook page the other day. It's really annoying, like the PoHo section.

x2 on the idler. Other than that, very nice! Looks better than mine.

Do you mean ring and pinion? The gear that goes in the front differential?

Snow and rocks.

You didn't hear anything, or it didn't engage? Those are two different things. I can safely say I've never heard noise from the auto hubs, maybe it's just me. But they have always engaged. If you have the space and tools, I always prefer to just jack all four wheels off the ground to check, but there are easier ways of course.

The issues really stem from tire wear and drivability depending on wheelbase. Some older vehicles, or vehicles that are really flailed on the trail can see breakage. In my experience welded fronts tend to be the ones to go.

Yes, the Ranchos have adjustable damping. The length never changes on any shock, you will need shocks for you application, whether its lifted or stock height.

Love my rancho adjustables.

Just remember guys lockers does not mean locking hubs. Lockers refers to a front or rear differential locking mechanism.

If you're talking about the shade the goes against the glass, your best bet is ebay or a wanted ad here IMO. They seem to have a habit of vanishing.

You can get the Jim Wolf ECU de-tuned to run on 87 Octane. My dad's rig has it running on 87.

PO took care of that foam seal, I have nothing to worry about.

I got the resistor out, and the fan, but I wanted to disassemble the box that holds the heater core. Looks like the drain tube prevents this, along with possible another screw I can't find? Either way, you really don't need to take the bottom off, I was just hoping that I could get more of that darn dog hair out that way.
