    TOTM: THEMED MONTHS

     

    The idea was put forward by packie88 with then intention of getting people out in their pathys to get themed shots.

     

    It is only each alternate month that is themed, so you can post up whatever pic you want in the in between month (Some people will never see snow).

     

    It is a kind of rule, but a loose one. For example, water crossing nominations may be considered if there is a mud crossing, the truck is in water, or crossing the road in a torrential rainpour. If you post up a pic with no water in sight, then that will be removed.

     

    Below are the monthly themes:

     

    January Anything goes

    February Snow pic

    March Anything goes

    April Water crossing pic

    May Anything goes

    June Sand pic

    July Anything goes

    August Flex pic

    September Anything goes

    October Sunset pic

    November Anything goes

    December Mud pic

     

    This nomination thread is open through September 20 or until 20 submissions are reached (whichever comes first).

    I'd suggest researching adding loctite to the power valve screws. Other than that, nothing really jumps to mind other than the usual used vehicle stuff like changing fluids.

     

    When researching your new ride, you may find it useful to add site:nissanlathfinders.net/forum to the end of your Google searches to just get results from this site.

  5. I can't contribute huge info here since I don't have my rig in front of me anymore, but here's what I do remember 100%:

     

    CV Brand/PN: Cardone

    Markings: Can't check

    Strut Brand/PN: KYB

    Spacers: 1"

    Binding: 1 - you could turn the tire all the way around by hand and I never had a CV totally fail, but you could feel resistance every ~120° when the vehicle was jacked up.

     

    I know with Toyota's the OEM CV's are equally expensive, but are equally the way to go unless you go with a quality aftermarket, unfortunately not an option for R50's at this time. I have a CVJ CV on one side of my 4Runner and some random cheapo one on the other side, and the difference in smoothness of rotation at full droop with no spacers is astounding. CVJ rebuilds OEM Toyota CV's to very high specifications for a much cheaper price than OEM, maybe something similar can be arranged for R50's? The size of the market would make it hard though.

    I don’t think the U.S ones did but there are definitely non-U.S. models that did.

     

    My 02 QX4 did, however it never worked when I owned it, and it was only 13 years old when it got to me. I've seen a couple with them since, but the standard antennas seem far more common.

    update to an old thread, life happened. Got a new truck after this, and other life stuff, long story short, sold the whole project minus the pathfinder, ended up with another VG33 and have since put it back in the pathfinder, currently not running but soon.

     

    That's one heck of a comeback, 8 years later!! Don't forget to update here as it comes along!
