I don’t have tow hooks, did they not come on the LE’s?

I would do the rear springs but the front is what I know will be the time consuming part and I might as well have them do that and get the alignment while it’s in.

What if I were to go with LR springs on the rear instead of HD with the 5165’s? Yeah the bumpers that those two are making is very excited. I also like the coastal bumper. I’m going to order the missing link from SF creations. I enjoy the black but I like my vehicle being clean and black is a pain...

Mud is fun every once in awhile lol. I actually went to the Ouchita mountains with my family a couple years ago. We felt really dumb when we went in and corrected us about how we were saying it [emoji23]. Yes forgot to put power valve screws in repairs. Yes I have the all mode system. Now I’m curious what your center stack looks like [emoji848]

I saw this truck at our mall over the summer and I’m digging it, I haven’t seen it since. My truck is on the right.

Here are some pics:

I’ll start with a little backstory: A little before I turned 15 my dad and I were looking at 4runners(3rd & 4th gen), Mitsubishi Montero SPORTS, Tacoma’s, And Xterras. I loved 4runners, we used to have two 4th gens, and a 3rd gen that was absolutely perfect before it was totaled. Then one day when I was at a friends house I looked out the window and saw this maroon little 4runner looking thing. When I went outside to my surprise, I saw a Nissan emblem with Pathfinder written on the back, I was in love. The only pathfinders that I had known were the R51’s and I’m not a big fan, especially for a first car, just much too big for what I wanted/needed. After searching around I also fell in love with the price compared to the 4runners. My search stopped when my boss was selling a little 5 speed manual Mini Cooper S. The price was right and it had a brand new engine in it, that’s what I thought I was getting, it was a sweet little car but not my style because I often camp and hike down in Arkansas. Fast forward a couple days to mu 15th birthday, I was in my room when my dad called me down to help get decorations down from upstairs. I was confused because it was March but I went out to the garage and there it was. A black 2004 Nissan Pathfinder with 98k miles, It was perfect. It’s been about a year and a half since we got it, and now sits with 135k with some small surface rust. I’ve been on this forum for a few months now and have been reading, asking questions and learning about these trucks. I’ll starter with the REPAIRS done since we got it: -Cam shaft position sensor -Rear main seal (though it still leaks after it being fixed twice yeah not happy about that) -Fuel filler neck -Ball joints -New headlight bulbs -MAF Sensor -6 new spark plugs Things that I’ve done (not repairs): -All new speakers besides tweeters -It came with a JVC Double Din head unit -Came with a cold air intake -Reese roof rack that now has a Yakima sticker on it (fake it till you make it lol) -Came with shortened Antennae -12 inch sub in the back -5% tint -New muffler -Nismo sticker -Rain deflectors Things that I’m planning on doing: I ordered the lift which included - 1.5 spacers in the front Yes I know spacers aren’t the 100% best but I’m not planning on doing any hard wheeling besides getting to camp sites and hiking trails for now. In the future I’m going to get heavy duty coils in the front for when I get a bumper so I’m going to do deal with the front suspension then. - 2 inch AC coils in the rear Decided to go with these because I often have a full car and coolers and gear in the rear. Also have a big bike rack when I Mountain bike -manual hubs -New Bilstein shocks in the rear for the 2 inch lift I wasn’t planning on going with new shocks but my dad surprised me with them My truck is actually sitting 1 inch lower in the rear at the moment due to it still having original springs. I was planning on getting the lift put in over thanksgiving break but things came up. I’m going to get it done before Christmas but hopefully sooner than later. I’m going to have a shop put it in because they can do it in a couple hours instead of me doing it in a couple days. Also my dad knows the manager at an awesome and they’re going to do it for $150 in labor cost. -New bumper by next year -Swing gate tire carrier -Some cubes on the back of the roof rack for light when camping -I have some brand new 32 AT tires Sorry for the novel and I think there is a lot of stuff I missed but I’m tired. I will be adding stuff as they happen and will keep this thread updated.

My girlfriend did the same exact thing in hers lol. Don’t understand why it’s such a big button, it’s a pretty small button in mine [emoji1742][emoji3603]

I also love that you can roll the front two windows down by holding the unlock button

It was the MAF Sensor, running too rich and fouled all the plugs. The throttle body needs cleaning as well. Going to get on that tomorrow hopefully, because I have a lot of Thanksgiving cleaning to do today [emoji884]

You can also use the app “Tapatalk” on your phone. Very easy to use and easy to upload photos!

I get on average 235-50 depending on how i drive for city driving. This is always at the 1/4 line because that’s when I know to fill up. During a recent trip down to Arkansas I got to 288 on the 1/4 line for highway driving.

I checked my alt and it’s working just fine [emoji848]

Yes

what he said! ^ Your truck looks awesome!

I see, thank you. I ran the codes and I don’t remember the codes exactly but one was Evap leak (negative pressure) and i’m 99% sure it’s a little tube that connects to the fuel filler neck but i’ve been putting it off because it’s going to be a pain to replace lol. The other one was “Catalyst system efficiency below threshold” which i think has to do with my 02 sensor IIRC. Could an 02 sensor cause this problem?

I wonder why they didn’t make more because when i went under the actual swing gate parts they are all unavailable

I was just roaming around the internet looking for smaller replacement parts for my car and came across parts for a rear tire carrier for a 2004 Pathfinder. Is this a thing? I’ve never seen a 2004 with a an OE tire carrier?

I forgot to mention it is mainly in the cold. when i park in the garage it will start up just fine. This video isn’t the best but it shows the problem

The truck will try to turn over but only crank. After usually 2 or 3 tries it will turn over but super harsh and die then when i try it again it’ll start and the rpms will shoot up then go down and all the lights and everything will turn off like it dies then it will go back up and level out. I have a video but can’t figure out how to put it on here.

I’ve used this website for awhile https://www.courtesyparts.com/

Old Man Emu (OME) has a 1.75 lift for the rear

I think the smallest one they have found was 2.5 inches and was the NRC9446’s IIRC

Yeah... I went with 260/70/17 which if I remember correctly is the equivalent 31.6 and a two inch lift with some manual hubs
