    Well on hold for a little bit...I ordered the new subframe bolts today should be here in 5-7 business days...then I can install my sfd but before the new engine gets put in going to fix the strut towers...nissan did the work about a year ago but only on the inner strut towers...the strut tower on the passenger side in the engine bay is starting to separate and on the drivers side a pretty bad rust spot so I'm gonna have Leon (guy making sfd's now) fix her up right and rust proof it then the new engine will go in...I called nissan today and they said go screw yourself on the job we did wrong so whatever...pics below

    Rear f250 shocks

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    First hello everyone I am.new to this forum. I am wanting to lift my pathfinder and have done some searches on it and got most of the info I need. What I have not gotten is the rear shocks for the lift. I know guys are using rear f250 shocks, but which ones? 4x2 or 4x4 shocks? Also I know that people are using the JGC coils and that the upcountry gives more lift, the one thing nobody has mentioned when they talk about this is whether or not they are using a drop track bar bracket with this set up. Would love to get that last bit of info before I start ordering parts or you g to the wrecker. Thanks for your help.

    I went to the Subaru dealership and actually got a really good deal on mine...I'm pretty sure it's a yakima however the front plate said Subaru when I got it instead of yakima so I'm not real sure but I got it next day and only paid like 300 which for a dealer is pretty good

    4.63 regear opinions

    For those of you that have 3.5L engines with the 4.3 and did the 3rd member and front diff swap from an older 3.3L with 4.6 gears was it worth it? I'm on 33s and plan to stay there. If a good 2 or 3" sfd came out I might do that and go 35s but for now she does what I need her to. Was the difference noticeable? I am actively considering this but would like some input.

    I'm in the process (and almost finished) test fitting the new era of SFD kits to hit the market...working on the panhard bracket and the kit will be done...however I don't think you'll get 35's outta only 2-3 inches...that would be rough

    Look under the back of the truck in front of the spare tire...kinda by the fuel filter...you have fuel lines and brake lines there I have a 98 and just replaced both fuel and brake lines due to rusting and let me tell you it wasn't a fun job to do...look at the valve covers most likely has a leak but gage how bad it is...mine had caked on oil all over everthing

    Well finally! I got the motor out...this was the biggest pain in the butt ever...the transmission didn't want to separate from the engine then it didn't want to come off the torque converter but it finally did come out!

    That thing looks so ridiculously good that I almost want to give up working on mine because it'll never look that cool

    Let it be your inspiration for your...there isn't much you can do to pathfinders (when compared to all the aftermarket crap for jeeps) so to see an offroad pathfinder is awesome...there are tons of r50's out there...how many of them look like this which is why I didn't buy the jeep my heart was so dead set on getting before I found Betsy!

    Anyone interested in a Subframe Drop (SFD) kit

    So my buddy here in jersey is finishing up my kit for me and I'm gonna install it on my truck make any adjustments that need to be made to get it 100% right...he is offering the strut spacers subframe and engine blocks and rear spring perch modified for WJ springs for $425 all that would be left to purchase is steering extension and extended brake lines...he is making mine in a 4" kit but can make really anything desired...below is a picture of the strut spacers and I will have more pictures by next weekend along with it installed once I get that far...any questions let me know

    Looking good! What's the tube diameter used, though? I'd expect less space between the bolt holes and the weld if using a 4"ID tube, which I think is what's required to clear the strut mount.

     

    Take a look at the mount and KrF's spacers:

    You can see on the KrF spacers they couldn't weld near the holes. I CAD'd up the strut mount surface based on an extra spacer I have, and its got a 4"ID (it's the same spacer I run on my truck, and IIRC, it's a good fit), and my CAD shows about a 1/2" space.

    Yea I've got that picture...I'm not sure the tube diameter it definitely looks smaller but not by to much really I wouldn't even think more than half an inch less
