[Lockright locker question]

No vibrations with mine, but I do experience similar symptoms of the kick or slack. I feel it when I am coming on/off the accelerator and when shifting. I think it is inherent in the locker design, but it does bother me to be honest. Like you, I thought it was the rear control arm bushings getting worn out, but I am reluctant to change them out for nothing.

[speedometer issues]

I just checked the plastic gear for the cable, I was really expecting to find it all worn down. I might try driving it around with the cluster removed

[speedometer issues]

Forgive me guys, I know this topic has been beaten to death. I have looked at all the threads and I am just stumped. My issue is the speedo never really works, sometimes it bobbles randomly or just reads 0. My trip and odometer do not function either.

 

So I started to troubleshoot the different components that are known to fail. Here's what I have done:

 

1. Removed the gauge cluster and and spin the speedo with a drill motor. It appears to read just fine 0-60+

 

2. Removed and repaired the white plastic sprung tip that inserts into the gauge cluster

 

3. Got under the truck and use the same drill motor to spin the cable. I get the same readings on the speedo 0-60+

 

4. Pulled and inspected the speedo gear inside the trans, It appears to be in great condition with no signs of distortion.

 

So what am I missing? I don't know where else to look

 

 

 

 

[OEM light bar?]

not sure lol

[OEM light bar?]

The install is very straight forward. Just remove the 4x4 badges to reveal the mounting holes. You will need 4 bolts to mount the bar, I used allen style bolts with a countersunk head. The 4x4 badges will have to be shaved smooth on the backside so you can re apply them onto the light bar. The other thing I want to mention is the rubber seal that runs around the bar. I suggest when you inquire about the light bar, make sure that seal is included.

[Factory clinometer help]

Ok so I recently purchased a Terrano clinometer and I am preparing for install. My truck has square dash style, and I have removed the center air vent for better access. I can see there are in fact 4 square holes beneath the dash pad that will mate to the clinometer bracket.

 

However, I am not sure how to go about cutting/drilling the dashboard to mount this thing. So I am curious if anyone has done this before and can offer tips or advice.

[What did you do to your Pathfinder today?]

Did some more prep for the body lift today. Radiator is out (will be replaced since it was leaking), power steering is disconnected, as are the e-brake and driveshaft saftey hoop. Ran to the hardware store and picked up a new angle grinder (I I can't have too many of these things!) and some cut off wheels. All the body bolts are out, (Had to cut out 4 of the 10), and replaced with the new bolts.

 

Need to run to the store again tomorrow for some M12 washers, then will unbolt the brake/clutch lines from the frame, and take care of the steering shaft tomorrow before I lift it.

 

I am currently prepping for a body lift removal. Today I removed front and rear bumpers, the front bumper lift bracket was a pain to get to. Went to the parts store to get shorter bolts for the body. Hoping the rest of this job goes smoothly

[Gearing Question]

The lockright will only fit in an open diff housing

[What did you do to your Pathfinder today?]

Strange new mystery. My E-brake light stays on no matter what, but when the E-brake is actually pulled, the light gets marginally brighter. Any ideas? I checked what I think were all of the connections with an ohm-meter and no issues

 

Make sure your interlock switch is in the off position.

[What did you do to your Pathfinder today?]

Did the maxima alternator upgrade today. Definitely an easy project if anyone is thinking about doing it. I just had to swap over the pulley and trim the fan spacer from my stock alternator. After that, it bolts right in. Also, scored an extra lego wheel at pull-a-part this morning

[If you have a 2 Door Pathfinder could you post a pic]

Here's an older pic, I have since changed wheels and added a brush guard

[Hello! NPORA Newbie from WA]

welcome! fellow drifter here

[What did you do to your Pathfinder today?]

Me and a buddy spent the afternoon installing my new (old) brush guard. It was meant to go on a stock truck without a body lift, so we fabbed up some mounting tabs to make it work. Im happy with the outcome!

 

[Tire Rack Template]

Mount the lower brackets, and let the tire carrier rest on that. Now you can make your marks for the corner brackets. An extra set of hands is helpful, good luck

[What did you do to your Pathfinder today?]

Yep, that 3M tape is exactly what I used. I use it for all kinds of stuff, it holds great

[What did you do to your Pathfinder today?]

Swapped out the lights on my targa bar. I was running some smaller fog lights, but I upgraded to the factory Boschs. These things are huge! Thanks to vagabond for trading me two of the lights I needed

 

[Front end sagging, but T-bars already cranked up]

I think your rear height looks fine. The front, I suggest reindex the T bars as mentioned. Yes, your camber will be off, this is normal. You will need an alignment when you're done

[Hello! 87 Pathfinder in GA.]

Hey everyone, Ive been lurking for some time now and decided to make a introduction post. I live in Kennesaw, GA and I love my pathfinder. I have owned a 94 in the past, but had to sell it. It didnt take long before I wanted another. My current is an 87, I just had to have the 2 door! I bought it last summer on npora and have been working on it, wheeling, and enjoying ever since. I dont have many pictures of the rig at the moment, but the previous owner took great care of the truck. Its in good shape inside and out.

I am a car guy to the core and I do as much of the mechanical work as possible. My true passion is drifting. I also drive an 84 toyota corolla. But drift cars don't make good daily drivers lol, so my love for trucks has grown. It started as a need for a cheap daily, and now I really enjoy off roading. The nissan is nice enough to daily, but I can also wheel it, hop curbs, and not worry about speed bumps. Just get in and drive it and have fun.

here's what she had:

approx. 135,000 miles

4x4 and 5 speed

rancho lift A-arms, coils, and shocks

3 inch body lift

things I've added:

rear coil spacers from daystar

lego wheels and correct center caps

33x10.50 BFG A/T

lockright locker

factory tire carrier install (not factory equipped)

custom jerry can on the tire carrier

targa bar with period correct bosch driving lights

future plans:

fix speedo!

CB radio

[Coil Spring Spacer Option]

yes I used the exact part shown in the pictures #KC09103BK. And they do not compress much at all, so you get the full 1.5 inches. Fitment is spot on.

[Coil Spring Spacer Option]

I tried it, works great! My pathy is level now. Installed in about 30 mins

[rear wheel bearings - need help/input guys]

well I'm right in the middle of doing some rear wheels bearings. I was not getting much drama from the rear end, like grinding or howling. Just a slight vibration. I began looking around. With the rear off the ground, I could grab the wheel and move it up down left right in and out. all directions about 10mm easily. very loose and wobbly

 

I cant find much on the forums of somebody actually doing them. Most people say "you shouldnt have to do them" or "they last a million miles." My question is, whats the best way to press the old bearing off? Im having trouble finding a shop that is willing/able to do it.
