while you still have the stock wheels and tires on the new one could you take pictures of the red pathys tires next to the new one’s?

I have a shop down here in the SF Bay Area that does custom work. Unfortunately, I don't have a torch/welder at my place in Palo Alto. Will be copying this one! Awesome looking set up!
Thanks man!! It does it's job. I've got a better departure angle than most lifted yotas lol

Some mawl crawlin’
And got the new pathfinder registered today. They’re taking over!! Lol
No personalized plates for this one (yet). Some of you may notice the front plate is sitting on the dash, and that is because the one on there right now is held in with some weird kinda flathead screw that only let’s you tighten them but not loosen, so I’m gonna have to drill em out.

Well folks, to those who haven’t seen it yet, here’s the new Pathfinder! Ended up getting it for $600, and I’ll be driving it back to Bozeman tomorrow and starting my new job at Go Fast Campers on Monday. It’s got a 5 speed manual which it’ll be donating to the red Pathfinder once the weather improves.
Also, huge thanks to Alex for the old lift springs! Might as well roll around with a little extra style before the trans comes out!

I'm pretty sure that the high beams are a different filament in the same bulb but I could be wrong. Honestly I'd just try replacing both bulbs first and go from there. It's cheap and who knows maybe it'll solve the problem.

Before and after from OME MD to LR NRC 9449's with "32" inch tires and no spare tire in the rear so a little lighter in the rear. Also my driveway is not level

Alright installed the LR 9449's on the rig.
Tires: 265/70r17
Suspension (before): OME MD coils with 1 inch spacer
*also I have trimmed my fender flares about half an inch so take that into account
Before measurements rear: both sides at 36.5 inches
After measurements rear: both sides 38.25 inches
1.75 inch difference with fresh install
I'll post before and after pics of the truck tomorrow but here's a comparison of the LR 9449 coils and OME MD coils with just the coil, 1 inch spacer and 2 inch spacer.

Gotcha, yeah I’m planning on staying away from spacers in general. Going to be trying out the 9447 with OME HD fronts in the next couple weeks. Hopefully the extra inch or two in the rear doesn’t make my 31s look too tiny!
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI think it'll look just fine with 31's

Thanks Micah, I love the way your Pathy is looking in the pics you posted earlier in the thread. Just to confirm, you're on OME HD springs with no spacers in the front, and LR9447 in the rear also with no spacers.
And you said you're on 32's right?
Oh but the picture you're talking about from way up there in the thread was with no spacers. I put those in later. Got them for free so figured why not. I still can't recommend any spacer that's over an inch though

3/4in level spacer in the front, everything else is right. And yep, 32's!

9448’s? Are you gonna do a panhard drop? Could be interested in the OME shocks
Honestly forgot about that! Guess I'll make one!

Also, Kent, your info isn't quite right, I've got 32's not 31's. Rear springs have settled to more like 3" now, they didn't stay at 4 for long lol

Also I'm probably gonna be swapping out all my lift springs from my red Pathfinder to the tan one and getting longer ones for the red one. Once I pull the trans from the tan one (should be this spring, or whenever it warms up) I can give my old stuff to whoever may want them. OME HD with kyb's up front and 9447's with ome shocks in back. Probably gonna go with 9448's like @Jax99 has in the back and still deciding on the front

Hey guys! After reading through this thread I have a couple questions, hoping someone could clear them up for me.
What was the final verdict for which model number got the least amount of lift from the 9446/9447?
And for those of you who installed extended length Bilsteins along with the 9446/9447, did you also install extended brake lines?
The 9446 is like half an inch taller than the 9447. If you go with longer shocks it's probably in your best interest to extend the brake lines and diff breather tube, but you can get by just fine without them if you aren't gonna max them out all the time

Rig is coming along nicely by the way!! Keep up the great work!

You thinking about welding a hitch right into your bumper like I did with mine? Looks great, functions great, and best off all leaves a ton more room for that departure angle!

Gotta love when the driveway is taken over by pathfinders

Micah, have been following this thread and missing a Montana right up until you posted the pics of your Pathfinder in the snow. Yes, I miss home and will be back in NW MT mid April. I found a very nice 2000 Path SE here in SW NM that I have been upgrading. Albeit, it will not be coming back to MT this spring. I have a 2000 Xterra at home NE of Ronan that I wheel all over Montana. Another great Nissan that I have done extensive upgrades to and will continue. My hunting rig.
We spend our winters in SW NM and I do lots of off-roading in the desert with my Pathfinder and ATV. Warmer here and no snow to deal with. Quail season runs through mid Feb. and lots of desert to roam. Keep up the thread and lots of pictures. MTG
What brought you down there? You're missing out on all the snow wheeling here!

If you're putting them in the original housing I would just go with some LED's. Running HID's in the reflector housing would be basically like running with your high beams on all the time, plus then you need a ballast and all that crap. And they're more expensive.
I run these in my car https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BNFXZSH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

you could always fab up something to mount a shallow ten in that little hidden cubby on the passenger side in the back....like this
This looks awesome except for the fact that you can't lift up the rug to access anything in that lower storage compartment without taking the sub box out

Do you have to go the donor vehicle route? I'm not sure how much it would cost to rebuild your transmission.
I'm not a fan of the automatic in this and have been wanting a manual for awhile, so I just figured what better time to do it than now. I also know pretty much nothing about how auto transmissions work and have no idea how to rebuild it lol

Not super great pics plus there’s a bit of a snow bank so they’re not perfectly level but hopefully this is at least somewhat helpful
