My Iron Man springs are rated 35mm front and 50mm rear. the strut spacers don't affect the stroke of the strut. so even if I have 50mm (2inches) of strut spacers doesn't matter. any added length to the stoke and most importantly the valving is what will make for a better ride. Now if only we could source high angle CV axles from somewhere........

could just be a poor machining job, my spacers that I got off of ebay look almost the same but no issues.

could they have meant that the rear brake shoes were seized and were not engaging?

once my struts bite the bucket again, I'm going with the OME because they are longer to deal with the extended spring length and are also valved for a lifted off road vehicle. As opposed to the GR2 or Munroe, etc are valved for on road driving, with the occasional pot hole. I've even thought about importing some struts from Tough Dog in Australia. again valved for off road use.

hawairish, that is such a polite reply I might mistake you for being Canadian.

I did the sensor relocation trick . /https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=nissan+knock+sensor+relocation&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001 or http://www.clubfrontier.org/forums/f46/knock-sensor-relocation-how-41704/ this worked out for me, I was able to do the work in a little under an hour. there are many opinions on whether this will lead do engine trouble down the road. I chose to chance it.

seeing as lots of guys have made their own out of PVC pipe and they work fine, I'd say this one will work as well, and have a nice factory look. the hard part is cutting a hole through the fender and side wall of the engine bay. somewhere on YouTube is a video of this process.

mine leaks a little from the cold start on the throttle body a small drip, has been for 3 years but I keep an eye on it and it's never gotten worse.

welcome, I've kinda always like those tri spoke wheels, but then again I've put Lego wheels on my R50.

this may be of some help.

good job brother, glade to see you've sorted things out. I've got one of the OEM overhead consoles (JY find) however no wiring or sensors for it to work. If you find a JY one remember to pull all the wiring that goes with it.

the lugs on the spacers were to long for the stock nutts so I drilled them out on my buddy's lath.

If you can't budget new wheels just yet, spacers are the way to go, I went with 1.5 spacers and I'm happy with the look and performance.

have you adjusted the wheel bearings? that might be it.

if they don't click or make noise how do you know they are bad?

got any pics? mine is a '00 and it is straight across.

when was the last oil change?

find a new wiper motor at the Junk yard, thats what it took to fix mine.

when was the last time the oil was changed? I do have a different engine than yours, however this might be relevant. Mine will have a similar sound when I'm getting close to the regular scheduled oil change, when that is done the noise goes away.

I know, LOL! my wife thinks I'm nuts.

Ah! the St.John river valley, sure do miss it sometimes. that is sure a lot of gear for 3 days, I thought you army guys were used to doing more with less.

First things first, Congrats and welcome! next down load a copy of the FSM (service manual) from this site in the appropriate section. Then, go and get a copy of the Hayne's or Chilton's Manual for your truck...these all offer step by step instructions for everything to fix your truck. get a jack and jackstands some metric tools and you'll be on your way, A good buddy to help doesn't hurt either.

i wouldn't talk to him, I hear he's a nutter.

In a pine box?
