NissanNut

Similar to the D21 version. http://nissannut.com/projects/D21_winch_bumper Except the approach angle will be WAY better. Same as stock. There will be a hidden hitch connecting the side brackets together. The D21 uses the hitch for a license plate brakcet, but its part of the spring hanger. Also OEM frame and lower 4 frame bolts will be used, 8 total. This will bumper will hold the following: 2 6" lights, licens plate 8k+ winch - warn or milemarker 2 driving lights 2" hitch 2 d Ring mounts winch solenoid - dont like big box exposed winch remote plug - because box is hidden 2 turn signals. Still shopping for a winch. Happy with the MM8k. I have used 10 times with no issues. I keep hearing the Warn is faster, etc. So I want to try something else. Any series wound winch basically.

Here is the rear build up. http://nissannut.com/projects/spare_tire_bumper_92

That was scary when I was cutting it went "BANG". You can see how the flat was curving as I cut.

I started on my Pathy winch bumper. To match the new rear bumper. Started with some 2x5s level and tacked Mock up Clearance the inside angled sides OEM turn signals holes Not done yet....

I just added shaft, adapter and limit straps.

http://nissannut.com/projects/SAS_3link There is a spreadsheet will prices. All 3 SAS I worked on have one. I just noticed it does not have front driveshaft prices.

All dealers set there own prices. http://www.nissanparts.cc/cart/?pn=38424-t5001 $10 each here. This is the middle size I ordered.

No assist. Its stock steering box with DOM style steering. Both my rigs have solid axles. I noticed a while ago my buddys 94 has much better steering than my 93 or 92. I found out that in 94 the flow increased. Not sure on pressure yet. I have modified a flow valve. Just need to install and test. Also need to install the 94 valve in one of mine. I ll do a complete writeup when done.

You should not need to adjust pinion depth when replacing a carrier. Most gear installs you can reuse the same shims.

Your welcome, I bet that will fix it. Let us know..

There is a procedure in the FSM to find out which thickness you need. I just guessed and ordered the middle size. Worked perfect. 100% differrence. I could not unlock lockright on the bench or vehicle until i put in the new washers. I took it in/out a few times trying different things. I kept breaking those pins. This was my 5th lock right install. Never had this issue before. I currently have a lock right in each front dana 44. I had one in the rear of the pathy. The washers are $11 each. You need 2.

Actually the 94+ have the best pumps. I just put in parts of the 94 in my 93 and wow what a differrence. I am going to bust the pressure next.

try new thrust washers, I had the same issue. http://nissannut.com/projects/lock_right_h233b

I just added lights to my pathy. I decided to take this mod to the next level. I love the stock style antenna. So I found a universla antenna similar style ($10). And squeezed it in behind the light. IT FITS fine. I did more work to get that cheezy black rubber one on the D21. The write up has been revised. http://nissannut.com/projects/fender_lights I forget to mention I used a generic 1/2 hole tab for the washer this time. View from the pass seat.

Thanks for the kind words. I am really enjoying the Pathfinder daily. Perfect all aroud vehicle for Me. My kids love it too. My wife complains its to hard to climb into.

Here is the 3 link write up. http://nissannut.com/projects/SAS_3link Last weekend I added some fender lights, removed grill guard, new antenna and new 2007 badge.

Thanks!!! I was not aware I was in this section. April is bday month, so

When I needed a login name I remembered at least 2 people had called me a nissan nut. I have been driving Nissans exclusively since 84. Some boards I am NissanNut74. There is other nuts out there.

Is your sig pic Gorman (Hungry Valley)? I love that place. I added my avator.

Try this if its a manual. Bypass the relay with a jumper. http://nissannut.com/maintenance/inhibit_relay

OK thanks, mine is 160x120 6k .jpg. Same one I use all over the place. Ill make a new one.

I cannot get my avatar to upload. Help.

Thanks. OK here is another pic. No rubbing.

Thats funny. I bought the pathy for serious trail use and daily driver. So I never tested the 4wd. Just cut it off. Ironically I do like IFS though. My Quest is 4wheel IFS its perfect for the application.

Thanks guys. I had trouble finding the forum. There is no link from nissanpathfinders.com
