  1. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if he actually bent his frame out of square...do NOT do as he does, take up slack then gentle pressure! I prefer to use the trailer hitch as a recovery point whenever possible, but if you have to use the front it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to use some kind of bridle so the tow points can share the load. But again, if you're using a tow strap, gently....not like that guy!

  2. Well, mine is my first car. I actually kind of didn't like it at first (what's this thing, Japanese? IFS? Ew!) (I wanted a Jeep or Ford truck really bad) but now that I have it, I love it! It has completely gotten me into Japanese automobiles, and am even interested in JDM cars and stuff now, something I had always frowned upon. In my opinion, many of us got into it on accident, and now we have a sickness; but a good one. :laugh:

  3. Left the QX4 at the local Infiniti dealer for the last 3 days (the loaner car was nice!) to see if they could figure out what was wrong. The ICC issue turned out to be the sensor in the grill, which they wanted $3000 for (yes, I got the right number of zeros there! :ohno01: ) and they even recommended not fixing it; I guess I'll keep my eye on local junkyards. They could not figure out the ABS issue. As far as they can tell everything should work perfectly, and the best guess they had was that it doesn't work because the vehicle is not level due to the lift I have on it (so are they suggesting that if you drive down a hill the ABS won't work? I call BS), so basically that is still a mystery. I guess I'll pretend that's not a problem and just drive accordingly. This leaves no other things that are broken, so I can focus on upgrades again! :D

  4. Thank you for finding that! It will be very useful for me someday, probably not too long from now. I actually scored a navigation system like the one my QX4 came with that has all of its buttons intact, so I'm going to try that for now, at least however long these buttons last. I have no idea if it works though, since I got it out of a junkyard Q that somebody had torn the dash out of, so this was just sitting in the passenger seat...I'll have to figure it out this weekend.
