yup, that was me who rolled the truck and replaced the body. i used to have a thread on here w/ all the pix but it's deleted now. here's a pic of what i did. did it all in my back yard. http://s17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/?action=view&current=P8160136.jpg like people said, just build a-frames over the truck and jack the body up (i used come alongs) lemme know if you have any other questions or need to see more pix. and good luck with the project!

do you want to get yourself into trouble or out of trouble? my vote is for a winch. idk if you've been stuck in the mud or snow before, but you can get stuck in that stuff ALL DAY-- or longer. even if you have someone to pull you out (and they don't have a winch) there's still a possibility of that person getting stuck while trying to pull you out. this is where you really get screwed. sure, a locker can help get you out of snow or mud, but it can also get you deeper in (as others have stated). you'll also be able to hit harder trails (obviously). personally, i don't like pushing limits too far, or any intense "pucker factor." that's just me, and i'm scared of rolling over (which i have before lol)

nissan nut has good info on the swap http://nissannut.com/projects/h233_4.9_swap/

no prob

i jumped on the PA wedge that i used. but that was on a different vehicle. maybe you can loosen it a lil by jamming the PA somehow, then moving the steering wheel back and forth. these things tend to slide out better if they're in the right position.

i know what you mean, man! i bought an axle a while ago, but the rest of the process is gonna take me foreveerrrrrr! i'm savin up a lil bit here and there. i'm also tryin to do it on the cheap hahahaha.

they made it like that so you know which pedal you're pushing

hah i decided to SAS cuz i bent a tie rod a week ago. then i went to the local pick n pull on monday to get a replacement when i saw the a wagoneer with the D44 i needed. it was like fate or something. hahaha. i'm not looking back now. i'm goin with it.

air shocks maybe? hah, i'm actually moving to the town here Poly Performance is located in a few weeks!!! they can't really help me w/ my swap tho just parts.

nah, it's not that easy. you'll need this bracket kit https://www.4x4parts.com/catalog/product_in...roducts_id=2867 you can either buy that or steal it off a pathy at a junk yard. however it's very hard to remove those brackets. it'll take a lot of work and cutting. no, you can't go without it. if you just drill holes and stick bolts through the body, the weight of the carrier and the tire will rip off the sheet metal on the hinges. idk how much work it'll be since the bracket kit doesn't come with any instructions (i just bought it and have to install the spare tire carrier myself) but i'll let you guys know when i figure this out and get it done.

does anyone have the template for mounting the carrier? AC doesn't have it and neither does the dealership.

thanks for the advice. that sounds like a good idea. i like bolt-ons for the purpose of detachability especially since *in the long run* i wanna get rid of my body lift and swap the front. but as of now i'm trying to get good at wheeling w/ IFS before i swap it. and i like my 33s (which require me to use a body lift) i don't know though. we'll see how "professionally" i do this. i think a friend of a friend is gonna weld these on for me for free, so we'll see what i can get out of him. lol. yeah, i didn't see them either like i said i was told they were either marlins or TGs. either way, i don't really care. hahaha.

check out these sliders i got! my friend bought those sliders and a rear bumper that came off a '94 4runner, but the sliders are too short for his truck so i bought them off him for $100!!! I was told they're either Marlin Crawlers or Trail Gears. they're just the right length at 65" i looked it up and apparently the 4runner has the same wheelbase as the pathfinder @ 104" so that worked out well. i also like the kickouts on them too. they'll make a nice step to get to my roof rack. lol. let me know what ya think! also, i'll take any pointers on placement of the sliders since i have a body lift and all and am not sure exactly where to mount them.

yeah, same here.

i get around 200 miles per tank. which averages out to 12 mpg. i get around 15 on the highway. all these numbers are horrible, i know. factors: vg30I 33's w/ 4.65 (stock gears) mostly city driving. 2.5 miles to work. 6 miles to school. so the engine usually isn't even fully warmed up by the time i reach my destination. i know every gas-saving trick in the book and use them all. 87 grade octane. and that's about it.

i'm too lazy to read everyone else's posts, but i know that AC took like 3 weeks to ship my spare tire carrier brackets to me once.

mine used to be on my back seat as well. then when i had to redo all my interior when i did my body swap, my dad mounted my amp under the driver seat cuz he's paranoid about those kinda things. it fits decently, but only cuz it's small (200W max)

i only remove my rear sway bar when i go wheeling and keep it on for street use, so i have a good feel for the difference between the two. there's a pretty big difference in body roll w/o the sway bar. i think one of my rear tires came off the ground on a right-hand turn w/ a radius of the width of a lane (there were two right-hand turn lanes and i was on the outside lane) going about 20-25. but that's also because i have 3+3 on 33s.

or do it right the first time!!!!!!!!!!!11one

that's what i wanna do with the extra pathfinder frame that i have. either that or just throw a HB cab on it and make it a truggy.

LOL when i read the first post i thought he said that a lady cut him off instead of a person. i guess i'm just assuming and using stereotypes or something. hahahaha.
