I wish mine had one. If I found one in a junk yard that had the carrier, I would seriously consider dismantling the entire rear quarter and lift gate to put it on. There is something to be said for having a full-sized spare and doing five-tire rotation. (I know there are other ways, but are there better ways?)

Good feedback. I lean toward dealing with a member as well; in fact that's why I called him in the first place. Steve, if you get some info from Ironman, I'd like to know. I'm targeting an August time-frame for the build, so there's plenty of time.

Hah!! I got fount out!! I did get some feedback, that's why I was looking Ironman. I'm not in it as much for the height as for the ride quality and it seems that Ironman offers a better balance of ride quality and height versus OME. Your price is not that much different than Rocky Road, but I haven't seen Rocky Road on the board either.

x2 on that nervousness. I think the idea of having a shop cat is awesome, both on the level of "epic win" and practicality - keeping the rodent/ pest population down. But he won't be much of a shop cat if he gets squooshed. Beyond the spray bottle, the only thing I can think is that he has to actually be scared once or twice to realize the dangers around him. Not sure of a controlled way to do that where you minimize risk. Maybe keep him away from the forklift altogether as that is probably his biggest danger. . . unfortunately that means no more "lap rides" on the forklift. On that note I have always enjoyed going to businesses where there are resident cats. Says something about the place.

x2. Reminds me of my first cat, a gray tabby with spotted belly and slight reddishness to the light fur. Make sure you get Danger spayed or neutered, though - do it young. You don't want either kittens birthed under the hood of the forklift or (if it's a he) spraying and marking around your shop. How are you teaching him/ her to avoid the dangerous things in the shop?

"Counter-Revolution?" "Communique-Revision?" "Correlative-Reciprocity?" Or maybe you were planning to buy a Honda C-RV and just left off the V?

Anyone have any opinions on doing business with either of these? Looking at getting an OME suspension kit put together, and the price is only about $50 different between the two. I like Rugged because they're an active vendor here, but Rocky Road is cheaper. . . .

Mods: I didn't post this in the R50 section because both companies provide products for other MY Pathfinders, but if it needs to be moved, I understand.

Looks like a Nissan Patrol. Not sold in the US, of course. Hehhh.

Nice. Big fluffy cats are awesome. Until you have to dust. . . .

Considering Ironman instead of OME for the R50. Anyone know a good online source, so I can analyze the price difference?

Mind. Blown.

Maybe PM Rob - "Alkorahil" - I imagine he can give you solid insight into part cross-applications.

I feel the vibration in the brake pedal, and the front end shakes as I'm braking. As the vehicle slows, it lessens, to where as I'm drawing to a stop it drags ever so slightly per revolution of the wheels. It seems to be primarily in the front left. Could this be a bad/ worn tie rod end or ball joint? I noticed when I picked the truck up from my mother-in-law, she obviously had not had the tires rotated, and it was almost undriveable. The front driver's side was very badly worn and worn very unevenly. I get a picture in my mind that, as the brakes are applied, the front left wheel "shakes," or rotates on it's vertical axis, and that may be what I'm feeling. I guess a tire rotation could prove or disprove that theory. . . .

I have something weird going on with the front end in the R50. I've thought I have a warped front driver's side brake rotor for a while, because of speed-sensitive vibration when braking. (pulsations slow as the vehicle slows) The weird thing is, it sort of comes and goes. Some times I drive the vehicle and it is disturbingly severe, and sometimes it is very minimal. Obviously, I know I need to replace the rotor, but I'm putting it off as long as I feel I can because there are SO MANY other components in the front end I might as well replace if I'm taking the rotor off. (Suspension, probably tie rod ends, likely ball joints, bushings, front CV axles. . . the thing is almost 20 years old) At this point, my mechanical curiosity is what is really piqued - why would this come and go?

Hey I didn't say they were chemically impotent, I just said don't need it.

Especially don't need it with a diesel engine. Don't need EGR with diesel either.

Not sure if that's awesome or terrible. . . . Why the backseat in that thing? *scratches head*

Crock-Pot Carnitas: 2.5 to 3 lb pork shoulder 3 teaspoons dried oregano 2 teaspoons ground black pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon cumin 1 large white onion 4 cloves fresh garlic 2 Avocados, sliced Fresh cilantro, to taste Tomatilla salsa Cut the shoulder into 6 or 7 smaller chunks, and combine the spices to make a dry rub. Rub down the pork chunks and line the bottom of your crock pot. Peel and trim the garlic cloves, and cut the onion into 6 chunks. Place the onions and garlic whole on the top of the pork and cook on low for 8 hours. When finished, discard the onion and garlic, and shred the pork with a fork. Serve on (preferably masa corn) tortillas with fresh avocado, fresh chopped cilantro, and some tomatilla salsa. The bomb-diggety. Just made this Sunday and it was GONE.
