  1. Went to the mechanic... I have to change left front bushings... I thing I will go for a full set of poly bushings... Maybe 4x4parts sets...
  2. I have 265/70r16 and i go between 34-36psi for urban riding...
  3. Some times I get 32km gallon on the road or highway... At the city with terrible traffic jam I get 19km gallon 😰...
  4. Same here.... Ingalls camber bolts, with 35mm coil lift and 265/70r16 tires... They work great. 👍
  5. You can use 265/70r16 without problem... Well, maybe you will have small rubbing in reverse at full turn. 👍
  6. Changed the 4x4 green light indicator in the dashboard... lost 2 bolts during the process...
  7. I just found these too, less price... Suggestions? https://www.armstrongdistributors.com/products/8-x-rear-upper-lower-control-arm-bushing-kit-fits-95-05-pathfinder-qx4-psb-594 vs. http://www.4x4parts.com/i-18914449-pathfinder-split-design-trailing-arm-bushings.html
  8. Thanks for your advise! I thought it was going to be easier to find the bushings here (Bogotá)... I only found bushings for Toyotas and Mitshubishis... Pathfinder R50 poly bushings are like a very rare hard to find pokemon... Hahahahah I think maybe i cand find some Nissan Patrol bushings... But i do not know cross reference or campatibility with R50... Which seller has good price and quality in the US for poly bushings? I need to send them to NY... I will be there next week visiting my sister... Thanks!
  9. I think my driver front A-arm bushings are damaged, son I have to change them. So I am planning to change as many bushings I can i my R50 2000 Pathy, front and rear for polyurethane bushings... I looked for local manufacturers and found a good one, for really good price (Australian an US were out of my budget beacause dolar TRM vs local peso). I talked to my suspension mechanic about the change and he sugeste me to buy original Nissans bushings, not poly. He told me that non Nissan rubber bushing will cause squeezing sound and will not last to much... And poly bushings were too hard to the truck and will cause damage on the upper and lower control arms... He suggested that it was better to change the a-arm instead of putting a poly or generic bushing... Is that true? I mean, I have read lots of comments about poly bushings, that they are stiffer on the suspension, but to cause damage on contro arms or a-arm? Thanks for your comments...
  10. Me? I have 1,5" front and rear springs, planning to add 1" spacers on the rear.
  11. Small trip we did two weeks ago... Villa de Leyva but looking for some new to us trails...
  12. Washed the pathy this morning... I was full of dirt and mud since last week... Now it is rainning cats and dogs...!! Hahahahahahah
  13. My Pathy is a 2000 3.3L... So i think i would not have problem with the panhard rod braket 👍 BTW, which one do you like better Rancho 9000XL or Bilstein 5100... Thanks.
  14. Over here, on my way to work (15km) I see at least 5 to 10 R50s... Not so much WDs... Few years ago I think there were more R51s, but not these days... The new ones, R52s... I think they are not so popular... They look like Hundays... Hahahahahaha People like a lot 4Runners, Prados and Cruisers, all models... And Mitshubishis, Montero (Pajero)...
  15. I keep searching... And I am no shure about which rear shocks to buy... Should I go with Rancho 9000XL (part number RS999112) or Bilstein 5100 (part number 33-185552) Any thoughts? BWT are these the correct part numbers? Thanks.
  16. If they are the same as these.... Yes.... http://www.gorancho.com/products/shock-absorbers/rs9000xl-shock-absorber/
  17. I thing I would go for rear shocks with Rancho, maybe the 9000XLs... But I have two number parts... RS999010 or RS999112... Wich one should I go?
  18. I have been reading about struts rear shocks... Rancho, ProComp, KYB, Bilstein... I have 1.5" spring lift in the front and 1.5" spring + 1" spacer in the rear.... I am not sure which struts I have.. But they are standard size, i thing... At the rear I have KYB Gas-A-Just (the grey ones) and they are standard size... So I need to change them, so they fit the spring lift... I like the ride of these shocks because they feel stif... Some of you have been using or used Rancho 9000XLs, KYB ExelG, ProComp, etc... And I read some topics about it.. But they are like 3, 5 or more years old... To the date pros and cons of these shocks and struts? Part numbers? Is it worth it to expend on the Rancho 9000XLs (9 levels), or something more simple? BTW mu Pahty is a 2000-R50-3.3L, MT. Thanks.
