Hey guys I'm looking to install a CB and I would like to see where you have mounted yours. Post up a picture or two of your mounting locations. Radio and antenna. Thanks.

Hung a new alternator today. It's been a nightmare. First off the front bolt broke off so I had to drill it to use a reverser. After an eternity of drilling I stuck the reverser in and tried to extract the bolt. The reverser broke inside the pilot hole. Grrrrrr. Had to grind that smooth and drill that out to get the hole back that I stared with. Lol. Managed to drill out the front bolt hole and then drilled the tread out of the rear bolt hole so I could use one long through bolt like it should be. Now I can't find my fan pully. Been a crazy evening.

I trimmed the front of the front plastic trim around the fenders so it won't rub the 32's. Looks like I'll need to trim some metal at the bottom back side of front wheel well next. Made appointment to replace water pump ,timing belt,and thermostat on Tuesday due to leaky water pump. Can't wait to take it out on the trails.

I hear you man. Figure I'll use this bumper until a friend fabs up a proper bumper for me.

. So this is what my pathfinder is looking like.

Got my body lift done, got new wheels and tires. The four black bumper relocate bars that came in the kit has my bumper on all wonky. Anyone have example pictures of how you put yours on?

I got all the nylon spacers in place but can't line up the two rear bolts yet. The picture of the bracket that holds the bumper/signal light holder is upside down. That's why I was confused , because I had seen that same image online before asking you guys. Lol. Anyway, that's what I did with my weekend. Hopefully I'll get everything reconnected within the next couple of days as work and family life allows and then its off to the tire shop. Thinking of getting the black steelies or maybe just painting the aluminum wheels black to save some bucks. What do you guys think?

Ok thanks . I didn't see the lower bolt when taking off the top one. I'll take a look fom underneath the bracket tomorrow. Thanks for the info. Trying to get the 3 inch lift on this weekend so I can go get some 32's on it. Thanks again.

Ok I'm trying to take the bumper off the 95 pathy but I can only find one 12mm bolt per side and one small 10mm per side that appeares to be holding on to the lower shroud.. Is this right or please clue me in as to where to find the second 12mm bolt. About to take a sledge hammer to it. Lol.

Ok cool. Then, so much for saving money. Just gonna have to bite the bullet and spend the money to gear both axles. If I'm gonna do it, might as well go all out and do it right. Thanks to all for the info.

Ok I was looking at this white Pathfinder on youtube going on the Clegorn trail. Then I notice the guy posting the video was names SteeeveO. That video was great and got me to thinking that I could get away with only running a Dana 44 in front and leaving the rear axle stock. Is that what you did ? Did you just match the Dana's gears to your stock gear ratio in the rear ? Or did you change both ? Remember I only want to run 33 inch tires.

Ok ill check it out. Thanks for all the info. I have to go brush up on algebra now Thanks.

Ok great. So I was thinking I would have to change the ring and pinions but its the axles that turn the wheels that have to change right ?

OIC ,, So the 3:55 = three revolutions of the driveshaft equals a little more than half a turn of the axle gear on the pinion ? If this is so how will I find out what " gear ratio " is in the differential before I buy them ? Am I even understanding this the right way ? Man someone needs to post up a lessons on understanding gear ratios and axle ratios. Formulas and variances in calculations. Maybe ill just keep to hauling ass instead of crawling. LOL.

I also hear a lot abouth 4:10 gears. Been told I would be able to go about 70mph hwy but still do ok out on the trails. I just need to be able to drive the truck to the trails and not have it gears so low that I have to trailer it. I don't think im going to try vertical waterfall rock crawling just yet , just need be able to crawl over medium terrain not hardcore stuff yet. Someone else told me I would be ok with the 3:55 ratio for a while ,, I mean hell the wagoneer they came off of was running them and I think they come on 31 inch tires don't they?

I was planning on running 33in tires. I have a manual tranny. Does too tall a gear mean they accelerate to quickly, does a deeper gear mean accelerates slower ? The front axle is driver side drop so that should line up right ? How expensive is it to change gearing ? $400.00 to buy both axles is a great deal right ?

I recently acquired a 1995 4x4 pathfinder and joined this site for information and how to tips. My plan is to SAS the pathy so I have just lined up a deal for front and rear Dana 44 axles off a late 80's wagoneer with chrome moly rears. I thought I was on my way and then I read on another post that you don't want Dana 44 diffs with 3:55 gears.. Man now I'm really freaking out because I have this deal all lined up. If I have the both of them with the same gear ratio , why don't I want these gear ratios ?
