RCWD21

I noticed their prices were pretty far off on a lot of common stuff, but at the same time the convenience of all of it coming from one location is nice too Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Where at you located at? I've been finding the same winch for $299 with free shipping (not sure if you got extra accessories or not causing a difference in price) Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I decided on the XRC due to it's lighter weight, a MUCH better warranty, and the fact that all that is only $30 more than a 12k HF winch without the added expense of an extended warranty. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

If you managed to bend that bumper or break your clean welds then we've both got a problem because I'm going to be using 1/4" for the winch mount too. But unlike yours I have to drop my upper mounts down at about a 45° angle sue to me having a 3 inch body lift. I may remove some material from the body so I can use a sort of triangle shaped mount instead of only a 45° piece. I go home from work at the end of the week so I'll hopefully have some free time before I get called back out. Also thanks in advance for the pics! They'll help me a lot on my design.

If your pathfinder is an automatic try removing the cooler lines from where they're held up next to the oil pan, it gives you a little more wiggle room. If it's a manual transmission then it's a lot easier. Like others have said just keep trying it in different positions, it'll eventually come out. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Lol I prefer to do it right once instead of spending twice the money Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I plan on replacing my AC compressor at some point with a brand new one along with some other components due to a ticking noise in the compressor at idle and the fact that pag and mineral oil was mixed and started eating through the hoses (one already blew). Are the compressors the same between the r1w and r134a systems besides the oils and refrigerant used? Are the high and low side lines compatible besides the pressure ports? I plan on doing a real conversion instead of half assing it like a PO did. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I've never liked selling any of my vehicles, there's always that thought about the new owner taking care of it like you would. I'm interested in some of the harnesses for my 87 pathfinder swapped to a manual transmission Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Sounds like they're a pretty decent set of tires Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I'm not familiar with that issue but I'd still look into if it hasn't been done, it's always a good idea to keep your tank sealing and venting like it should be. Vapor leaks could be a fire hazard and obviously fuel prices are getting up there. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Sounds like it could be a fuel issue. Either an extremely clogged filter or a weak pump. Get a fuel pressure gauge and check your pressure during prime and then again when it's running. I think fuel pressure should be somewhere around 46psi at idle. You want to hook it in after the filter to get a good reading. Check and replace all your vac lines if they've never been done, I've found some really bad ones that looked perfect before removing them that we're the source of some pretty serious air leaks. If it were a bad alternator it would still start and run but the battery would slowly drain due to lights and other electronics draining down. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Get a different brace. Calmini has hit or miss fitment issues. All the posts I've read report some sort of issue with their braces, especially with aftermarket idler arms. http://www.4x4parts.com/i-18981130-pathfinder-idler-arm-brace.html Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Can't really get any simpler than that. The geometry of our rigs IFS limits us quite a bit. I'm sure there's a way to really improve it but by that point it would be easier to SAS it on either coils or leafs. All in all though I've found the stock suspension setup to be more than capable of handling everything I've thrown at it. The weak link is the dog bone steering set up. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I have the super lift uppers and they're currently sitting on the bumpstops which are half the height of stock and the balljoints are still at a comfortable angle. I'd still run the new upper control arms just to help the ball joints. Any thing closer to the stock angle the better imo. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

How do they do in sand and mud? Not thick sticky mud more watered down like near a flooded fire ditch. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Ordered my rear shocks finally, Rancho RS5112 for the rear. Should be here Wednesday along with my exhaust manifold for my frontier that decided to finally completely split away into 2 pieces 3 days before I have work out of state. Luckily I get to drive the company vehicle and it's only 3 hours away in Myrtle Beach. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Does your truck happen to be a manual trans model? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

How are you liking the Cooper tires? I'm stuck (again) between those and the Falken Wildpeak A/TW3s Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I highly recommend taking a look at Citrons build thread on the last page and checking out the bumper he just built. It's probably way stronger than it'll ever need to be and last longer than the rig it's attached to. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

That's correct, I forgot to mention that. A brand new fan on high drops my idle about 100rpm or so but it'll blow leaves off from around the wiper blades. I also have a non modified 110amp quest alternator and 1000cca battery so it doesn't pull too big of a load so if you have a weak alternator be careful. I was never able to get a true answer of exactly how much it really pulls on start up so I went overkill on my electrical for it. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

I think I'm going to go with the smittybuilt seeing as they offer a much better warranty than Harbor Frieght would and I don't have to pay an additional $40-$80 for only a 2 year warranty. Not to mention it's lighter than the 12k, isn't as amp hungry, and spools a little faster. Now I just need to find out what work is doing this week, get some cardboard and start mocking things up. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Citron, how much steel did you get to do your bumper? Just looking for a ball park figure, tomorrow I'm going to Sears to get some fridge boxes so I have big pieces of cardboard to work with. Also could you take a pic for me of how your bumper mounts to the frame under the front onto the frame rails? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Yup. The bumper I had planned looks nearly identical to what you have, just a little thinner top to bottom. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Awesome, I'll take a look at those here in a few. The bumper I have in my head sounds similar to what you built. Also I found the winch I'm probably going to go with.
