    by rewire you mean just run harness out and connect to what they need to be connected to? no cutting into stuff? time consuming yes, i dont mind running wiring harness if its all there, its the trouble shooting and splicing into things that were once working fine i dont like doing

    I messaged you

    Is removing the front sway bars really THAT big of a difference driving one road??? I was considering taking off mine.

    It definitely takes some getting used to...tomorrow will be the true test I'm driving on the highway

    I almost had all the wiring needed...you will need a donor 3.5 truck for this...then I went to get my 3.5 donor for $400 and it ran fine so I swapped all my parts...you literally have to rewire the whole thing

    '97 R50 project underway...

    Another project was finally wrapped up just as my BMW, and DD, needed some maintenance (I'm determined to get it to 300k miles before I sell it), which turned my attention back to the Pathfinder.

     

    I changed the rear bushings back in October and plasti-dipped the wheels then as well. Today I installed Warne manual hubs and was surprised how easy they were to do. Total job time, including gathering tools and cleanup, was 30-45 minutes.

     

    Here's how she sits now, no big change yet.

    Warne manual hubs installed.

    I'm searching craigslist for wheels/tires now, 31" at least, but may order Fleury's spacers first and just go with bigger tires sooner.

    Do you have the reversed American flag on your passenger door...I had these on my last truck need to buy them again for my new one

    Finally got all the parts off Betsy that I need to swap over...so starting Thursday for an all weekend event...I will be doing to my new pathfinder

     

    I will be doing my subframe drop for the second time now...gonna be a little harder this time last time I didn't have the engine in so we shall see and also I will be swapping the 4.3 gears for the 4.6 gears from betsy...I pulled those off today and it was a pain they were all rusted on there and had to use an air chisel to get it off

    Also installed my CB radio...I'm in the process of taking as many parts off Betsy as I can before she goes away...my sfd kit will be going on in a few weeks then after that front and rear bumpers a winch and some kc lights (6 of them 4 on the top and 2 on the bumper) I'd also like 2 square LED'S for the back of my roof rack
