[Stock air intake on 2003]

Thanks for the advise guys, I will give it a try.

[Stock air intake on 2003]

OK thanks, not sure I like any of those options  but might look at making some kind of cover if there are no better options, is it the same piece for all r50's?

[Stock air intake on 2003]

Just finished installing a bumper on my 03 pathfinder and part of the air intake system hangs down really low. What do people normally do with this guy?

 

Thanks for any advice.

[Rugged Ridge Hubs]

Thanks for the input i will see if i can find that thread. If a little grinding is all thats required I may go that route.

[Rugged Ridge Hubs]

Just had my hubs rugged ridge hubs fail, and was thinking about replacements. I was thinking about using the warn hubs but i still use my 2003 alloys occasionally and they apparently do not clear. I was wondering if any one had tried making them fit with a little grinding, i think there is only a mm or two required? Has anyone tried this- or is this just a bad idea?

 

Anyways I don't really want to go with the rr hubs again as I dont really feel that they are great quality- but i dont really think there are any other alternatives.

 

Thanks for any feedback or advice.

[Complications with getting lift]

I have the tx14 and from what i’ve read the 4WD light will turn on during long trips? I understand how the hubs work and to never put it into 4WD before locking the hubs. The light doesn’t bother me because they said that it doesn’t actually affect anything. Has anything changed or is there more information known about this?

 

 

Not necessarily, it has for some people. I have the tx14 and have been running manual hubs for a year and the light has never come on. Only important thing is to keep it out of auto.

Yup, I would have just measured, thanks for the replies. In case anyone else was wondering they clear the hubs fine.

[Yet another tire rim question]

I have seen a few people saying they are running these rims:

Pro Comp 69 Series Vintage, 16x8 Wheel with 6 on 5.5 Bolt Pattern - Flat Black Machined - 7069-6883

 

https://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/Pro-Comp-69-Series-Vintage-16x8-Wheel-with-6-on-5-5-Bolt-Pattern-Flat-Black-Machined-7069-6883.aspx?t_c=11&t_s=535&t_pt=101508&t_pn=PXA7069-6883&Manufacturer_PQ=Pro+Comp+Alloy+Wheels#ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder1_pDetail_productSpecs

 

But i don't know if they are going to clear the rugged ridge hubs?

 

Anyone know if they will fit?

 

 

 

[Another rim sizing question]

Thanks, 10 inches does seems really wide gonna try to find something in 16x8.

[Another rim sizing question]

Sorry meant to say 265/75/16's..

[Another rim sizing question]

Sorry for another tire sizing questio but i have just seen a lot of conflicting information on the backspacing necessary for upgrading the size of tires on my pathy. Any place that sells lifts or spacers for the pathy seem to say that you need to go to 3.75" bs on the rims. However i have seen people in the max tire size thread claiming 4" bs would be enough, and when reviewing the numbers on an offset calculator it seems that the combination I was thinking of 16x10" rim with 4" BS and 275/75R16 tire should have more clearance than stock.

 

Can anyone put my mind at ease before i order the rims?

[Lokka in a 03 Question]

Thanks for all the replies, i think i will go ahead with the lokka sometime soon. Will report back with driving impressions when i do.

[Lokka in a 03 Question]

Thanks could you clarify how it handles with hubs locked in 2x4 on pavement in snow vs clear?

[Lokka in a 03 Question]

Thanks for your thoughts, after reading some accounts of the lokka it was my understanding that you would get the chirping chattering anytime the hubs were locked and it was not recommended by lokka to drive on pavement this way 2x or 4x. My theory with one hub engaged is that everything would work correctly as the front gearing/ drive would be spinning with only one or two hubs locked- with the lokka installed. But with one hub locked you would not get the chirping in 2x or 4x and could still engage 4x to get an extra drive wheel around town for light snow duty.

 

Anyways hopefully someone with first hand knowledge can confirm or deny.

[Lokka in a 03 Question]

I have been thinking of installing a Lokka in the front but am worried about loosing winter street drive-ability. Quite often in the winter where i live it goes from pavement to snow and vice-versa. I had heard that it is common on other vehicles to simply lock only one hub to get similar function to an open diff. My question is will this cause any issues on the pathy? I think that if I run my current setup in 4wd drive with one hub locked i might run into issues? However i don't think this would be an issue with a lokka installed, Anyone care to confirm or deny or offer any thoughts.
