my Truck needs new shocks all around and i had Rancho 5000's on my last Pathy, i will be ordering them again. didn't know about 4x4parts last time, so i spent alot more. lol glad to get them at a great price this time!

Installed my strut rod bushings yesterday. Needed to weld new races in. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

So I got my polybushings in today...... strut rod kit is wrong .... says it's for a 240z.... Hope they can get me the right ones quick.. need to get this one done this coming weekend Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

on this note, when oredering JGC Springs. i know most people JY Dive, but on Rock Auto you can order them New. anyone done this? and which springs would you order?

Oooooo tint sounds nice.... lol Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

Not bad, it's nice that we have that ability to get parts for our wd's still. I get a good deal cause I'm employed by nissan lol Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk

my cost here is 35$ i was quoting list price so people weren't upset when they went to nissan and were quoted double lol

Actually Happy, Here at My Nissan Dealer we can get the Strut Rod/Radius Arms/Tension Rods (lol too many names) for about 65$ a piece. i'm pretty sure Any Nissan can order. heres the Part Number 54470 - 31G00

oh perfect i'll give that a glance, thank you very much! Thankfully, this truck already has New Upper & Lower Ball joints, and New Outer Tie Rods. All work performed by Nissan 2 months before i bought the truck (receipts were provided upon purchasing the truck lol) needs the Center Link now though, i can feel some play in that one.

wow, i wouldn't have guessed that! i was gonna order red because they "look" upgraded lol. but i'll definatly order the blacks instead in that case! still trying to figure out which bushings i "need" names of things still throw me for a loop. nissan calls them one thing, and everyone else calls it somthing else. weird. so, i'm thinking my list goes as follows: Lower Control Arm Bushings: Poly Upper Control Arm Bushings: Poly Radius Arm Bushings: Poly/Factory (depending on if it needs rings welded for repairs) Sway Bar End Links: Poly Sway bar Bushings: Factory (already replaced them) This should take care of the Front right? lol

Thanks guys, i'm really appreciating the input! keep it coming!

i've bought a couple parts here at Nissan, but parts for the WD's are dwindling. and usually cost near as close to aftermarket Poly stuff. (one of the reasons i asked against Rubber vs Poly) i'm pretty sure i'm going to be buying major stuff here like New Radius Arms and the new Radius Arm Brackets here due to avaliablity.

Alright, so. my truck is kinda scary on the highway because pretty much the whole front end is loose. lol i'm willing to bet i don't have a single good solid bushing. i figured, since i'm in the process of buying new tires for my Pathy. i might as well rebuild the front end. NOW, my plans are to buy a lift kit. i wanted to use 4x4parts.com's upper control arms teamed with ZJ Springs to gain about 2.5", with a 2" body lift. not planning to run that large of tire, but i do like the look. So, on that note. wheres the best place to get the bushings i need? Stock Rubber vs Poly Bushings? This will be a piece by piece part ordering since i'm a broke ass Nissan Technician lol (unless i can get a bushing kit for a good price lol)

Mine seems to have been the Rubber line between the Rails by the Distributor (like everyone else lol) replaced the line and new clamps. no concerns this morning ^_^

I've got this Exact problem, i'm actually at work right now, might as well take a peek! lol

its kinda universal for any e-fan setup. theres 3 ways to set this up. 1 of them being stupid... lol Setup 1: Proper Coolant Temp Controlled E-Fan. Parts: e-Fan Temp Sender and controller 50 amp relay 20 amp fuse assorted wiring this is the best way, as it will allow the vehicle to warm up, and not have to constantly be monitored. (i would still install a bypass switch just in case it fails you can still manually activate the fan) setup 2 (manual swtich) Parts: e-fan 50 amp relay 20 amp fuse 20 amp switch assorted wiring this was will allow manual control of the fan. the user MUST MAINTAIN CONSTANT CONTACT OF TEMPS i'd HIGHLY reccommend a aftermarket Water Temp Gauge setup to better monitor temps. setup 3 (Stupid way....) Parts: E-Fan 50amp switch assorted wiring. This way allows manual controll WITHOUT a Relay setup.... my opinion ONLY IN EMERGENCIES..... this will have a High Amp Wire Traveling through your dash unprotected and can EASILY become a Fire hazzard. i've done this on my FC once because my Relay fell off and hit my Pulleys lol.... i do not reccommend this for repeated long term use. After Note: I use Taurus Fans on most of my cars due to the size and flow of the 2 speed setup. the high speed DOES pull 50 amps pretty easily. so if you are using that you will need a 50 - 60 amp fuse to protect that circuit. BUT i've never needed the High Circuit even on my Race Cars.

Been too long since i've posted here. but heres some updates on my Pathy. she's still running strong. i've installed a hitch so i can finally tow my race cars, and finally got my 4 wheel drive to work. lol problem was on the axles. the shims that are held onto the axle by the snap ring were put on backwards (before me, i never touched those lol) so i cleaned and reinstalled them correctly, and BAM everything works perfectly. its amazing. planning on taking my Pathy back into the hills to test my new off road abilities lol. thank you for those who were helping me here. heres a recent picture of the Pathy ^_^

And they still don't work Axles spin, but they won't catch..... so either my hubs are broken, I didn't fix them right, or voodoo isn't happening. Lol Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

Well, it was dead today. So I decided I should actually take my hubs off. So when I took them off one was locked solid, other was free Wheeling. So I pulled both out, greased them both, and put them back together. Hopefully it works. Lol haven't tested yet Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

Took apart my auto hubs, found one of them was stuck. Other free wheeled. So cleaned then both and reinstalled. Hope my 4x4 works now lol. If not. Manual hubs here I come! Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

Awesome news! Hope the basterd's got caught with it! Then they deserve s NPORA beat down! Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2

Thanks guys been busy at work and haven't even been able to take my hubs off.... i'm staying late tomorrow for work, i'll bring my truck into the shop and tear her apart (kinda sucks being a tech... all your nice tools are at work.. lol )

hey i'm in Salt Lake, i'll keep my eyes open for ya man!

sounds like I'm upgrading to manual hubs lol sent while peering deeply into my soul.... trying to find that lost apex seal again.....

After the weekend i have utmost confidence in my Pathy..... the driver... noooot so much... i'm still rather new to offroad so picking my lines is something i'm getting used to. lol
