    You'll basically have to remove the front wheels, remove camber bolts (The hub assy. will want to pivot downwards so I used a tie-down to secure it in place temporarily), disconnect the front sway-bar from the strut, remove the strut and spring assemblies, install your spacers and then put everything back together. Make sure your brake lines are clear too! :aok:

    First Aid Kits

    in General Forums

    Posted

    First Aid :

    The farther from the beaten path you venture, the more prepared you should be for a medical emergency. Always carry a first-aid kit designed for the type of trek and the number of people in your group.

    A variety of first-aid kits are available for day hikes, family camping trips or backpacking treks. Kits should be tailored to your trekking terrain, weather, the ages of hikers and your group's special medical needs.

    It is important to know how to use everything in your first-aid kit beforehand. You won't have time in the middle of an emergency to read an instruction manual.

    Before you go, learn about any possible hazards at your destination, such as poisonous plants, snakes and insects. Determine if you need any special gear or clothing. Locate the road and public phone closest to your campsite or trail, so you know where to summon help if it is needed.

    Some organizations offer wilderness first-aid courses targeted to outdoors enthusiasts. Be sure to practice what you learn and share it with others in your party.

    Good first-aid kits are available in a wide range of prices and specialty kits are available for mountain bikers, canoeists and others.

    The following items should be considered when outfitting a basic first-aid kit:

     

    1. 1 elastic-roll bandage
    2. Aspirin or ibuprofen
    3. Adhesive tape
    4. Alcohol swabs
    5. Antacid
    6. Antihistamine
    7. Antiseptic ointment
    8. Adhesive bandages, assorted sizes
    9. Bulb irrigating syringe
    10. Butterfly bandages
    11. Chemical heat and cold packs
    12. Dry-wash pads or wipes
    13. Diarrhea medicine
    14. Gauze pads
    15. Hydrocortisone cream (soothes allergic skin)
    16. Insect repellent
    17. Mirror, small and unbreakable
    18. Moleskin, 1 or 2 packets
    19. Cotton swab, sterile, packaged in pairs
    20. Safety pins
    21. Scissors (Swiss Army Pen Knife has scissors, small blade and nail file)
    22. Sunscreen
    23. Triangular bandage
    24. Tweezers

    Inspect the contents before every trip and make sure the tools are clean and supplies in good condition. Replace expired medicines and add items you wish you had brought on the last trip. Make sure the container is durable and waterproof, and stow it in an accessible compartment of your backpack.

    Beadlocks?

    Beadlocks only depending on how much/little pressure you plan on running in your tires.. They are nice for running very low pressure but not necessary for the tires to fit the rim.. I will be getting tires soon.. I'm definitely going with Goodyears! MTR w Kevlar.. New tread design. 35x12.5x15R :aok: Can't wait for that X-Mas bonus to come through!!! Then it's time to RUN&GUN :ar15:

    throttle body spacer

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Worthless, not to mention non existent. You may be able to find them for 3.3L v6 pathys (I don't really know as mine has the 3.5 and that's what I was looking for.) or possibly for Nissans Car models that have the 3.5L BUT.. The throttle body size and bolt pattern configuration against the intake manifold is way different on the Pathfinder R50 3.5L. It uses a much larger throttle body than the cars with the 3.5L i.e. Maxima, 350Z, Altima equipped with the 3.5L So be careful if the maker says " Oh yeah it's got a 3.5L in it, it'll fit.. It's the same.." Nope.. I've sent back 3 of these trying to get one that fits my truck.. I know a Machinist here in SoCal that can make custom ones that will fit specifically on our trucks (3.5L). However I felt it was not worth the time or $$$ to design one only for me.. PM me if you guys want me to look into having a lot (min 5) made.
