    And one more bulb change in my gauge cluster lol. 3rd time's a charm, white LED's this time. Might look a bit bluish in the photo but it is pure white. Luckily this is a very easy job and takes no more than 5 minutes.

    So if the mood strikes me, there is no guarantee that it won't go back to red someday lol.

    North Eastern US Pathfinders?

    in General Forums

    Posted

    I wasn't sure what to name this thread, but essentially I was wondering if there were any active members from the New England / north eastern states region interested in joining me, countryboy88 and a few other members from Expo on a weekend trip through northern Mass/ Vermont neck of the woods? This will be the 3rd trip with this group, however this year we have a bunch of new people coming along, so why not see if there are any more Pathgrinders that want the come along?

     

    Dates: 28-30 May

    Lcoation: Torrey Mountain Road, Tunnel Road, Old Florida Road

    throttle body spacer

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Reviving this thread because I found a TBS on Kijiji in my area for $10. I know they are very controversial in reviews and my own opinion is, they don't really do anything. But for $10 I figured what the heck. It certainly won't make it worse. Usually these cost around $100 bucks, which is insane!! Anyway, I tried to put it on tonight, but despite having removed the 4 bolts and loosened the throttle cables, I was not able to pull the TB far enough away from the intake manifold to fit the spacer. There is a thick hose on the bottom of the TB (not sure what it is) and that's just not long enough to pull it forward, at least not without risking to pull that hose off. Anybody know what exactly this mystery hose is, or what the trick is to install this sucker?!

    LED headlight bulbs

    I hear ya. I was actually able to fit the fan housing inside the rubber seal. So far in the winter it has never overheated. Might be different in the summer. But I carry 2 halogen bulbs with me whenever I go anywhere just in case the above happens. But even if it did, I still have plenty of other lights to back me up :)

    Sounds like you have a good game plan for Thomas.

    I would recommend soft 8 or Rock crawler rims with a 3.75 backspacing at least. I also wouldn't chose a rim less than 8" wide. If you plan on spacers you can get away with a 15" rim, but 16" will clear the calipers without spacers.

    As long as the ATF meets Dexron 3 you're fine.

    Wheel Spacers for 31 inch tires

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Spacers will help only where you're close to the strut and the brake calipers (15" diameter rim). Don't these rims have a backspacing?! If you upsize your tires you have a few options:

    1. Backspaced rims (solves strut proximity)

    2. Wheel spacers, (same as above plus clears calipers)

    3. trim your bumper and fender liner (solves rubbing tires against bumper and fender liner)

    4. lift your truck and do all of the above (solves everything!)

    :tongue:

    How to install hood louvers

    in The Garage

    Posted

    Reviving this oldie... Ever since I first saw theexbrit's Pathy, that's when I knew what direction I wanted to go with mine. And to this day I still really want to do these louvers. I even found the exact ones he used. http://rodlouvers.com/Pair-of-Angled-double-Row-24-Louvered-panels-P2005276.aspx

    In this thread it says it's a "sunbelt mod" referring to the concern of water on the engine. Then another site has this to say about that:

    http://hoodlouvers.com/heavy-rain-snow-water-no-problem/

    So all in all, I'm still considering this mod, I think it looks badass and I can only see benefits to a cooler engine bay. My question is more geared towards the hardware and install, especially where the Run Cool louvers, hardware included, are all made of aluminium, but their price is pretty steep for 2 pieces of metal. The Rod Louvers are steel, don't come with hardware and require quite a bit of prep and modification. Much like Andy I would be cutting mine to an angle too. I do have a rivet tool after all.....this could be another excuse to use get my money's worth out of it lol. And I could buy aluminium rivet nuts as it isn't load bearing.

    So I guess after all I don't really have a question, I just wanted to revive this thread for my own selfish reasons :)
