Photos on this forum are a little different than what you're probably used to, you have to host them externally. There's a few different how-to's and informational threads, here's one:

Another excellent video Tyler! I'm looking forward to seeing you tackle that obstacle at the end again in the future with more upgrades.

Since the strut overhangs the inner edge of the tire (lower coil bucket, should be pretty easy to see if you peek in there), maximum diameter is very critical. As @R50JR said, 31" is your max with regard to that. If you want to retain your current wheels when you get larger tires later on down the road you'll need spacers. As far as fitting without trimming the fenders or bumper, 31's may require some trimming, but if so it won't be a lot.

That's a cool build you've got going! What are your plans for the rear tray? Just gonna do a flat deck, or something more elaborate?

I believe that orientation is making the camber worse, but it's been a minute since I touched R50 suspension. I'd definitely say it's worth trying it rotated 180°.

Not unusual, it's a *fantastic* little pocket for junk to collect in and rot through. Yaaaaaaay rust!

That depends, did you install the camber bolt on the top hole or the bottom hole? In any case, it should be easy enough to loosen the bolt and rotate it 180° to see which way is correct. Even without putting the tire back on you should be able to very clearly see the knuckle change angle.

Well I'll de darned, Dobinson's does in fact make a small lift. Couldn't find the link to the Lovells one @RAW444 mentioned but if he was right about the Dobinson's I'm sure he was right about that too. Dobinson's stuff is very highly favored in the 4th gen 4Runner community, in many cases higher than OME, so I'd put a big thumbs up for that. https://www.dobinsonsprings.com/nissan/niss-79/kits

Bumper plastic, and commonly also a bit of metal on the fender right by the rocker panel. I had to take a small triangle off mine in that area.

If @Mr_Reverse's suggestion doesn't work, only other idea I've got is to start cutting.

I agree with everyone else, with the new glass in it's really not bad! A couple body panels from the junkyard and it would honestly look pretty excellent. Really jealous of how clean your strut towers are too! Looks like you've got a good setup going for it.

I have 1aauto sway bar end links on my 4Runner. The parts are fine but the nuts they included were junk. I wouldn't trust any significant parts from them. With discount codes you should be able to get KYB stuff from Advance Auto or something like that for a comparable price.

Sweet! Wants me to buy a WD21 just to run that NPORA badge you've got in your grill.

There is very little information about that generation Pathfinder on this forum, as they're not optimized for offroading from Nissan really in any way, and this is a primarily offroad forum. All of the discussions thus far (very few) are here: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/forum/72-2013-present-r52-pathfinders/ As far as a lift, the only suggestion I would have is getting a spacer lift custom machined, just then you'll have to take the plunge to experiment with if the CV's will survive and if it will even be possible to align it, let alone if any of the car's electronic systems will get fussy.

Lots of info on this already covered in there. You just gotta sift through it. To summarize, you can fit 32's with some trimming on a 2" lift (springs every time over spacers), you'll want 15x8 wheels with 3.75" backspacing or 16x8 wheels with 4" BS.

That most certainly qualifies! PS: I'm jealous, it's been a wimpy winter in Michigan.

That's sad to hear man! Last I heard my Q is still kickin, I hope the current owners give me a call when it dies...there will be no saving it, but I figure if I have a parts rig I'll have to buy another!

Sfcreations has not closed, fleurys is the owner, he was just replying sarcastically to the previous person's statement that they were closed.

Doing snow pics for TotM right now!

Sounds like a pretty good setup you've got planned!

You'd better get working on figuring out how to make this happen to yours, since you and Alex aren't exactly twinning anymore!

Impressive dedication! May not be a ton of power, but for the price you can't beat it.

Too bad October is for TotM sunset pics, that's a really well-done photo!

Moved to the FAQ section and pinned. This video should be a great resource for anybody interested in lifting their R50!
