  1. Yesterday was a new distributor cap and rotor. Today is new brake rotors, pads, and Warn Locking hubs.
  2. So at nearly 140,000 on the odometer, I'm sure that balljoints and what not are probably next on the list to be replaced. What do you all think of this "package" deal from Energy Suspension/ http://www.energysuspensionparts.com/moog-packagedeal147 I'm gonna source my local Advance Auto Parts with some coupon codes from Retailmenot to see if i can't beat this price. i'll never use cheap ass, low grade, suspension parts such as ball joints EVER again.
  3. I can sleep just about anywhere and have dozed off in the back of my Pathfinder many times. I had a self inflating sleeping pad that worked really well!
  4. The package was 4 wheels and 4 tires and they would be mounted and balanced and delivered right to my door. So I am definitely on the hunt for 3.75" backspacing and I'm going to see what I can find in a 3.75" BS in a 16. Thanks!!!!
  5. So I am in the market for some wheels. When I needed tires last, I got some retreads that were inexpensive, but they rub from time to time on the front strut housing. I understand that new wheels will remedy this situtation. I put together 2 packages on Tirerack.com. The 15" wheels have 3.75" off backspacing vs 4.48" for the 16" wheels. One package costs $840ish and the other is $895ish. Oh yeah....the wheels are the American Racing AR172 Baja. Any input on the backspacing would be appreciated. There is a chance in the future that I might put a larger tire on...maybe a 31". The 15" tires measure out to 29.6" and the 16" tires measure out at 30.6". I don't want to mess up my fuel economy at the moment, nor do I want to increase wear on bearings and other components. Thanks for the input!
