Well my Pathfinder Party video made it to the finals in the ARB 4x4 Video contest If you vote for me, I might win a gopro camera which I will put to good use. You have to add this promotions app to vote on the vid but you can delete it after the contest is over if you want. I am in no way affiliated with the app, just a hoop I had to jump through to enter the contest. You can add me as a FB friend too if I don't already have you in my list.

Try the JY and find some factory manual hubs from a v6 hardbody. I hear they are very good build quality. Just make sure you have the matching # of splines and you should be good to go.

i used to carry a big jug of water with me and after each dirty water crossing, i would shut the truck off, douse the alty with clean water and then spray it with WD40 to force the last little drops out. nismojunky taught me another trick - rev the shiat out of the engine after going through the water hole and it clears a lot of the grime out. Best to carry a trail spare with you and keep an eye on your volt meter. Clear water doesn't hurt them very much, it's the chocolate milk and packing it with mud that ruins them. if you cant afford a skid plate, at least go to the JY and get a factory splash guard. Something is better than nothing.

there were some xterras that had 4.9 R&P gears. You could use that in the back with a wagoneer 4.88 up front. they should work pretty good for 33's + 35's

Almost.. they weren't allowed to bring that 4.2l 1HD-T engine with them. We got stuck with the gutless gasser.

Y61 Patrol! Straight axles, diesel engine, factory lockers! what's not to love!?

sounds like you are getting too much fuel. There is a procedure to read the check engine code saved on the ECU. It's in the garage forum.

definitely not black. It looks like that steely blue or dark grey color

You can buy the hose by the foot at most auto part stores.

Here's a good deal on a console from the states: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/1990-1992-1993-1994-1995-nissan-pathfinder-truck-center-console-armrest-gray-/390369876070?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item5ae3db9866 and Dowser, you can use my console if you don't have one already, there is the replacement cupholders: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NISSAN-PATHFINDER-CONSOLE-LID-ARM-ARMREST-HINGE-CUP-HOLDER-CUPHOLDER-89-95-/290641122245?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43ab8f93c5

does it get worse when you let off the gas OD? show me a picture of the truck, how high does the rear end sit?

hi william, i had 33's with and auto trans and 4.625 gears around ontario a lot. As long as it isn't too windy, and you gas it down hills, you get decent mileage out of that setup. As soon as it gets windy, the truck might have to drop a gear to keep up with highway traffic. You don't want it buzzing away on the highway too much because it drinks fuel and heats everything up too much. It was fine on the trails, but if you get into the harder trails around here, you might want the 4.9's instead. Basically, go wheeling with what you have and figure out what would work better after.

I had the factory super deep console with two flip down cup holders in my truck. They worked pretty good, but if anything dribbled, it went all over everything else in your console. They worked great up until my buddy's dog trampled them one adventure weekend. tungsten, you have obviously never commuted to work for any decent amount of time. It's the most annoying thing to be missing from a vehicle. I dunno, i guess the japanese never had to drive their vehicles very far. ask any canadian commuter (especially ones from southern ontario) they love their coffee with a drive to work. :coffee!:

look here are a set that might be still for sale. I don't know if they will fit your truck so check that out first http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=31476

If you have a junkyard around you, a lot of 80's + 90's nissan v6 pickups have factory manual hubs which are very nice as well. Count your spindle splines and make sure they match before you buy them though!

they have been repairing some, and buying out the particularly bad ones. My parents have an 01 and hasn't shown any evidence of corrosion like that. Sucks it's happening, now you feel a little bit of the same disappointment WD21 owners do re: their frames.

besides the premium gas, i would love a vq... as long as it has a manual tranny

For toronto, you're better off getting a second set of winter tires and taking it easy on the icy roads. Studs would be expensive to remove and install, and Dowser is right, you can only use them north of sudbury AFAIK. I used bfg A/T's for the winter and they work pretty good. I saved the mud tires for the summer time. A true winter tire would work better but I got the BFG's so i could leave them on for longer to give the mud tires a break. I am gonna see if they will fit my frontier too since it has all(no)seasons right now.

here's a good thread for tranny coolers http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=6486

no, you don't need them, the pressure isn't that high. I bypassed my stock cooler a long time ago, and the truck has ~275k km on the original transmission with 2 fluid flushes. It still shifts as crisp as ever and is one of the things that still works relatively fine on my old truck. If you're gonna loop it with the factory cooler, why bother adding it in the first place if you're adamant about cleaning the factory unit? The heat kills the transmission and an large aftermarket unit on it's own will do a fine job of cooling if you put it up front so it gets the fresh air. The odd fluid inspection and change will keep the clogging problem at bay.

Make sure they are actually connected too. There should be some wires coming out of the seat bottom. Sometimes they can get pulled apart or not plugged back in after removing the seats for cleaning.

i would select "2" and turn on the power e-at switch when wheeling. When you have bigger (33") tires, I would leave the power e-at switch on constantly. It locks the T.C. and keeps the heat down, especially on the highway and long hill climbs. Do use your parking brake all the time and follow the parking procedure the other user posted earlier. Once you wear off your parking pawls (the part that holds the truck in park) that is pretty much it for the transmission and you will need to rely 100% on the parking brake to hold the truck on a grade.

There are lots of places to get warn hubs, you should find them for between $150-200 for a brand new set. I leave mine locked all winter and unlocked when the snow is gone. I would inspect your auto hubs, it sounds like they are sticky and need a clean and re-lube. Probably nothing wrong with them other than that.
