  1. You mean something like this: http://roadsafe.com.au/4wd/tow-points/ http://roadsafe.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/towpoints-01.jpg (this is like 1/2" steel?) Edit: Just found these... http://www.roadrunneroffroad.com.au/Nissan-Patrol-Recovery-Tow-Point-RP-PAT01.html Made from 12mm Plate Steel Using SS41 carbon steel plate (Q235) Might be something similar?
  2. More snatching tips.... http://www.unsealed4x4.com.au/issue021/#177
  3. Wow..!!! I do not know if I have to laugh... Or be worried... hahahaha I have read some articles and watch how to recovery videos... About how to use bridles and snacth straps, points os recovery, etc.... And how NOT to do it... Read some reviews... Basic sling hitches and loads... http://www.fdlake.com/rig-slng.html Snatch strap tests... http://www.unsealed4x4.com.au/issue012/#23 I undeerstand that Snatch strap is used for recovery... It will stretch +- 20%... Isn't the tow strap the same, or does not have this 20% of elasticity?
  4. I am planning to buy some recovery gear as a bridle, recovery strap, and d-ring hitch receiver. But first things first... As the R50 is an unibody truck, I have read histories about R50 recovering and being recovered with the tow or recovery points, that have being destroyed... Trowed like missiles... So my question is... Are the R50 "recovery points" front and rear real recovery points or just tow points? In the future I am going to install a rear hitch and buy a d-ring hitch receiver for rear recovery... Would that be a good rear recovery point? What about fornt recovery points... I do not want to install a bull bar... Should I use the front points as recovery points using a bridle and recovery strap? Thanks.
  5. Just in case, I just found https://sites.google.com/site/r50projects4free/home I'm thinking on doing this one... Long term project...
  6. I did 1,5" coil spring llift... And bought Ingalls Camber Bolts (14mm) 81260...
  7. I think you mean 265/70R17... I read on the NPORA Faceboo page, I guy how used Coopers 265/75R16 A/T tires, or something similar... They where just there... Few millimiters away from the strud... He had to change the tires (from normal use) and bought the same tires 4 years later or something... The new tires, same reference were rubbing the struds.... As Jyeager says... Some tires would fit and some that wouldn't....
  8. Yes they do well.... I think the front console lights (reading lights) are not to bright... I think they have 120 lumens... I am going to buy some with 180 lumens. ...
  9. Well... I removed the fuse to prevent short circuit and install the led bulbs... I think it worked 👍
  10. I have been claying (clay bar) the Pathy.... I have finished all the sides and hood... Still missing the roof...
  11. Thanks for the tips 👍 I was thinking to remove the fuse before installing the leds, to avoid some short circuit, just in case... And then re-install the fuse... Maube i did something wrong, a short circuit touching the base plate or something.... Before i intalled the led bulbs, firs time, i did test them.. They were all ok... After the short i re-test them... They were ok... So that leads to a problem with the install process... Again... Maybe a short circuit.... This time i am going to be more carefull 👍
  12. I have installed these... I remove them and re install the old filament ones... The fuse did not blow. I bought them on ebay two moths ago... I cannot find the link on my ebay user page, it is harder to find waht you bought on ebay 😡 I test them with a 12v sourse and test continuity and they are ok...
  13. I was installing the bulbs in the interior for LED... I was installing and testing, and the ELEC B 7.5A fuse blows. Changed the fuse and keep the LED install... And again the fuse blows.. I asume the new interior led bulbs were the cause of it... Should i change the fuse for a 10A or 15A?
  14. I installed led bulbs in the dashboard and automatic HVAC to...
  15. Over here we do nota have JY as in the US... So i was looking for the Box Assy-Luggag, CAP-ARMREST, SEAL-HOOD FRONT, and other small parts... And I found https://www.nissanpartsdeal.com and http://www.megazip.net ... Megazip ships to Colombia with a reasonable price... Nissanpartsdeal ships over here but its way to expensive ( I will have to ship to NY to my sisters house)... Has someone bought from one of these sellers before? Thanks.
  16. Try to put my daily drive wheel on the spare tire space... And did not fit...
  17. First time doing engine bay cleaning... I went to the local shop and buy and engine degreaser... I think it went well, at least the pathy start up without problem... hahahahaha
  18. Today I went to emissions inspection/"technical test" for the pathy... And was ok... Inspection passed.
  19. I would love to buy them on rebate, but I do not live in US... I am looking for rebates over here...
  20. I want to change my FireStone Destination AT 265/70R16 in the near future.... So I was reading abou AT tires and all that stuff... All the reviews I have found (still reading) are about Tacomas, LandCruisers, Jeep, etc... but not Pathfinders... Wich could be a good chice.... BF Goodrich KO2's or General Grabber at2's?.... I would like to go with 265/75R16 but I thing I would need to use wheel spacers and maybe some triming on the plastic parts... So that is a NO NO... (my wife does not want me to trim anything on the pathy... )... SO the choices I have for size are 265/70R16, same size I am using now with FireStone Destination... Or 245/75R16 almost same diameter (KO2's 30.6" vs AT2's 30.5").... Maybe better fuel economy vs off road grip?.... Thanks.
  21. Maybe have to do some maintenance on the mechanism and or motor?
  22. Few months ago when I installed the new front and rear springs on my pathy, I saw a Toyota Prado with a hidden winch... I have been looking if it is possible to do it on my 2000 R50, and I found this post... Went to the link Precise1 post but the only photos available are these... http://www.cardomain.com/ride/608653/2003-nissan-pathfinder/ Pros and cons of having a hidden winch on a R50? Thanks.
  23. My parents have a 2008 Nissan Frontier 2.4L... Something similar happend to them... When they switch from 2H to 4H the shifter try to go back to 2H... I think after a while the boot got softer and it was easy to shift to 4H...
