Looks good! ?

Try and look into period frontier and Xterra rims. Many toyota rims will also work if you're looking into factory quality. Otherwise it seems the cragar or summit D windows are pretty popular around here.

OP would you mind posting a picture from profile of the rear wing?

Looks really nice, how do you like those grabbers?

I would say 34 psi is my happy medium. Better mpg than stock but still a smooth ride. I'm not one to fill to the max level anyway.

I would say find a quality degreaser, like purple power or potentially simple green. Soak the area in that and work it into all the books and crannies. Then carefully hose it off, and shoot the hinges, and black slide in a silicone lubricant or something like that.

I'm planning on painting my rear bumper in my factory bright silver (KY0) color, and am looking to buy about a quart of paint. Any recommendations as to a good quality factory matched paint manufacturer?

I've never seen that many miniature golf places in my life, that's for sure! And sweet, I'll check that out.

So from Memphis, we spent the night at a campsite in Nashville. The next morning had a great cup of coffee, explored the town, and then headed on to Great Smoky Mountain National Park, a couple hour drive. The town leading into the park, Gatlinburg, is an absolute tourist attraction, but was interesting to see a crossection of just exactly who was traveling, and to grab dinner. From there we headed into the park: After a quick tour of the park, we spent the night at the Cosby campground, near the north-eastern end. A great nights sleep brought a great day hike for the following day: What was most surprising, at least for me, someone who has only hiked in the west, was the lack of elevation. The highest point in the park (a scenic overlook) at just over 6000' is actually smaller than a very average mountain by my home in Southern California. From the park we continued towards Myrtle beach, and were met with one big tourist attraction. We spent the night but as soon as possible, left towards Jacksonville Florida. In between, I found Charleston and Savannah to be quite charming, with Savannah providing a great atmosphere, especially historically. From Savannah, we made it to Jacksonville without issue. A much nicer experience than Myrtle beach. While it was not exactly like the beaches near me in terms of surf, it did provide warm water, and a quiet beach experience, which was well needed. I also decided to change my oil in the beach parking lot (it had been 3700 miles in high heat). This would be the hottest oil change I've ever done haha. 97* with high humidity made me sweat like The King himself. No issue with the maintenance though, luckily.

Hmm, check all your fuses first. I just replaced the lights in my dash, there should be a way to pop in a new bulb- very easy procedure.

Old man Emu all the way, great ride and carrying capacity, plus more clearance and control.

VQ trannies are beefed up, as are the transfer cases. I think you'd be better off just fixing and upgrading what you have. There's a few options to increase the power of VGs.

Looks good!

We pulled into Memphis, and experienced the greatest ribs of my life: Johnny Vergos Rendezvous. Perfect dry rub, truly amazing. These were the ribs Elvis had flown first class to him in Vegas, several presidents have eaten here- it's an amazing affair. Afterwards, I had the opportunity to partake in the fantastic Beale Street of Memphis- home of the blues, and rich with culture. A muscle car show completed the picture. The following day, and the moment we've all been waiting for- Graceland. We finally made it to the home of Elvis, such a powerful force it was a dream come true. I loved every minute, but again I'm a huge fan. here's some pictures: So many gold records, it was insane. The famous jungle room. From there we went to yet a another hallowed ground- Sun Records. Johnny Cash, Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Roy Orbison, and BB King all got their starts here. It is truly the birthplace of rock and roll, and truly all modern music. See inspiring for me to say the least. From there we drove to Nashville, spent the night at a local campsite. The next morning, we went into Nashville, had some great coffee and crepes, and headed to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

I am, I liked Santa Fe quite a bit, would love to go there again.

Just pulled into Nashville, spending a night here after Memphis. I'll try to update with pics tomorrow

My campground in the national forest just outside the Grand Canyon: From there we booked it to Santa Fe, though stopped to see the Painted Desert, and Petrified Forest National Parks (no pics atm due to my dslrlacking Bluetooth etc). Santa Fe though turned out to be a gorgeous town, with a fantastic atmosphere and a great art scene. I visited the Georgia O'Keeffe museum, and wandered around the downtown a bit. We were originally going to stay here, though a violent lightning storm and general lateness to our arrival meant a cheap motel night. We went up to the Santa Fe national forest later the following day. Following that was one of the more exciting moments of my life- a southwestern storm, amidst our cannonball run to Memphis from Santa Fe (1000 miles). Driving through the night, and until a couple of minutes ago, we were faced with massive lightning strikes, pouring rain, bugs, and fatigue. I even managed to acquire a speed warning from a nice OK state trooper. so far the trip has been great, and I am looking forward to exploring Memphis tomorrow, and Nashville the following day. PS: In Little Rock, there's a great place called The Root Cafe- very well recommended.

First day we made it to the Grand Canyon- absolutely stunning. I've been to some beautiful places, but this is truly breath taking. Here's me, probably the sketchiest climb thus far, about 3k feet above the floor on a 2 foot wide path. Here's that famous crater:

Thank you all, I'll probably be on the road into next week. Pardon the delays, last night I had to cancel my plans of camping in Santa Fe national forest, as a lightning storm on the drive up at 2am made a motel in town a safer option. PS: AR is correct

In ludlow on the mother road

Tomorrow morning at 5:45 AM I am departing on a journey I've been wanting to do for years- tour the South, and see Graceland, among so many other sites. I'm going with three of my buddies in my pathfinder, and I'll be stopping in AZ, NM, TX, OK, TN, KY, SC, AK, GA, MS, LA, AL, then head back home to California. I'll keep you all posted in this thread, figured you might like updates Cheers!

This might be obvious, but are you sure you installed them on the top of the strut?

Could you please explain the sensation a bit more so we can try to pin it down?

Aka I lost a friggen light bulb in the transmission bulb spot and need to get it out

Hi, does anyone have a link to the FSM or another how-to on how to remove the shifter assembly cover? The very top piece with PRND21, not the console. I'm doing some maintenance before work and couldn't figure it out.
