  1. Watch the video Bushnut posted. A 4 wheel drive has power sent to the front and rear wheels. Each axle has a differential which splits power, typically to the wheel with less resistance. I'm assuming you had one or two wheels free spin in the mud, with the other wheels sit still. This is what happens normally. As Bushnut said, there is more to wheeling that shifting it into gear and gassing it. To solve the issue you have, you will need to add locking differentials, spools, or limited slip differentials. Search here or elsewhere for the rundown on what's what. With differential modification, everyone has an opinion of what's better. The fact is, it's a matter of what works for you.
  2. Good point! On my next rig I might try to relocate the cooler so I can use a fan. I overheated my last one too many times. The cooler I could fit with the bigger radiator wasn't enough to keep it cool on steep mountain roads. I'm sure you'll have way better luck, you know way more than I did then.
  3. Just a thought on the transmission cooler, maybe go with a better cooler, and add an electric fan on a switch to help keep it cool? I've seen small fans for trans coolers before.
  4. Mine wasn't much, but I condensed most everything that I carried into milk style crates and used the factory tie downs in the rear cargo area to tie it down. I found milk crates to be simple, and wheeling is a lot more fun when nothing flies around at all.
  5. Just remember steering stabilizers can help reduce steering wear but mask problems. If what is damaged is the stabilizer, it shouldn't make a difference. Steering should always been in working order before having a stabilizer. They are not band aids. That being said get some pics when you get a chance and I'm sure we can figure it out.
  6. Wow! Now I wish I had pics of when mine melted....
  7. I'd say don't bother with Haynes or Chiltons and go straight to the source with a FSM.
  8. Still have every car I've ever bought. Except the Pathfinder, but I dont regret that one. It was too far gone.
  9. Check your fluids afterwords (including diffs) for signs of water and change accordingly after the trip as well.
  10. Never seen one crack, but I've melted the whole top off mine before.
  11. Good luck! Please let us know what the process is like. I have similar feelings towards most of my cars, and letting my pathfinder go was very hard for me.
  12. I have the full foglight harness out of my 92 in the garage, if needed for reference. Without looking at it, I seem to recall that the purple wire tapped into another wire under the dash for power to the switch or relay.
  13. I don't recall a need to swap t cases.
  14. I never exceed about 15, maybe 20. I seem to recall reading the limit is really your rpms.
  15. But in california it'd be a ticket plus 60 in fees.
  16. I got mine today. I couldn't figure out what it was so I opened it. I feel really guilty, I gave what I could afford, and it wasn't much. I received a very generous gift in exchange.
  17. Interesting, I'm gonna have to try this on my next pathfinder. I have an entire center console in my garage that I was planning to cut up to use a Jeep console on the next rig.
  18. Is it fairly stable? I've looked at those time and time again and had doubts.
  19. Gotta aim for the axle, less damage if you're lucky. That's where mine always landed and I never damaged anything.
