So ive been looking, reading, searching, and exhausted now, but ive googled the Rancho 2-2.5" Lift and Superlift 2-2.5" lift and have came up with nothing? am i missing something? Im trying to gather prices and where to order so when i get to that point i can order. Im going to continue searching but hopefully i can be pointed in the right direction. Thanks in advance. Robert

Okay thanks,

Haha, true but, I kinda want something to wrench on just not a rotted out project. On a side note, how hard would it to be to make the pathy 5 speed?

I already have a 4x4 jeep grand cherokee with a v8 solid front axle, I'm just needing a truck plus the frame is pretty much gone on one side just odds an ends that I want a truck, it wouldn't be a new truck, I'm thinking late 60's to early 90's 4x4 pickup, solid front axle and v8 with a long bed, I like the pathy but partly is the frame is pretty gone on the rear, and I can't find a better rear half around my area... But if I keep it, do a small lift on it and make it a weekend only rig, kinda like my jeep is right now

Okay, reporting back, it was the simplest issue ever as to why it wouldnt start... While it had sat up at my uncles house, i believe one of the relatives i have, well cousin, had cut the wires on the plug for the fuel pump, hince no fuel at motor, ran to part store got some butt splice connectors, and vualla, it runs, smokes a little, had little to no oil, put some 10w30 in it, and tappin noise went away, let it warm up, put it in drive and drove it around the junk yard runs pretty smooth, and the Alternator that caught fire still WORKS, unhooked battery box to move it and it kept running, so, its good to go, still thinking about selling it, for something different, i really need a truck So soon it might be on craigslist.com/indiana for sale or trade for a 4x4 truck

okay thanks, ill download that also, in the AM im going to work on pathy to see if she runs again hopefully

Okay, ill try that too possibly, ill report back later when i get to work and try to start it again. Thanks again for the info, much appreciated

Okay, tomorrow, ill try a newer(better) battery, some new terminals for the wires, and ill check fuel and spark. When it was trying to turn over it was a real slow crank, like there wasnt enough juice for it, so that could be possible. Also what could be the cause of the fuel gauge sticking way below E? ill take picture tomorrow also of my confusion, i put little over 5 gallons in it..

Okay, so my 95 pathfinder has sat for 2 years now, sadly its been my little project left behind. I borrowed a trailer this past weekend, and pulled it to my part time job at a jeep only junkyard(flame if you must) But i went to start my pathy today, put a battery in it, put some fresh gas, turn key, it was slow at first but slowly picked up as it tried to turn over... battery died, so i hooked up my jeep to it, set my programmer to idle at 1400rpm and let it charge a bit, tried again, the started moved quicker this time but still nothing. On the gauges on the pathy, my fuel gauge says its way below empty, i had put 5 gallons of gas in it. Is there something that could not be getting power to the fuel pump? or no spark? i havent touched this in a long time and have lost my touch... Prior to all this it had caught fire twice at the alternator ground wire? still havent figured that issue out, but right now, id like to get it running again. if i cant i must sell my project and move on to a new project.

So, Decided since my pathy is down for the count, trans is messed up, going to do a minor resto on the whole thing 1.) Rebuild engine, and build for slight more power 2.) Have tranny rebuilt or purchase a used one and have bowler transmissions build it to be stronger 3.) Frame fix "rotted out" Three main things im going for right now, any input on the motor performance will be much obliged. Right now im looking at about 12week period to start and finish and will have about $4-6,000 to spend on everything. Not looking for sports car fast but something more than 153horse Even consider swap well please help as this will be photoed and documented through the whole build once started. and be fairly good looking rig once done Thanks. Robert

Well, in my own little opion i shall ask what exact type of panasonic deck are you running, and we can go from there. Im very big into custom car audio, as i have a 99' gmc sonoma with almost 2400wats RMS which means and low-medium volumn its extremely loud. JVC Headunit 4" JL Audio Dash speakers 6.5" TMA Audio Door speakers Planet Audio Big Bang 4channel amp rated at 300RMS per channel Planet Audio Big Bang 2400.1 Mono block amp rated right now at about 1600-1700 watts rms at 2 0hms 3Farad Capacitor soon to be help by larger alternator and second battery So if your still trying to figure out your audio question(s) just pm or whatever you want im sure i can answer

its no problem, still havent had time to work on it though, switched jobs now i only have weekends and have other things going on currently, and no where to park the vehicle to really work on it

eh hell, nothing else can go wrong if it has no wheels to go anywhere lol. but when i get around to it, ill let you all know so i can get more info

Okay, so just ground the hell out of the engine block and everything else. With id say mayb some #6 welding wire from my dad's job, also now i need a shift cable because transmission decided not to come out of park and snapped the linkage at the shift arm. =/ would the fire possibly caused the transmision to lock up.. and i think when i get around to grounding everything ill put on jack stands and put in drive when i get fixed to see if it catches fire again instead of being away from where its parked.

Yeah, replaced wires from alternator to connectors. The positive side of alternator didnt receive the damage, it was the grounded that caught fire again. To take it to shop just to look at is $1,000 range and I dont have that type of money. Thanks for info so far

So this is the second time this has happened within three months. First Time i parked the vehicle and waited to fix. Anyways, For 3 years my battery light on das would come on and off as it wished. Replaced alternator but same deal always on and off. Three months ago I was drving and smoked rolled from under the hood and the truck died. I put the fire out by pulling out a wire which in deed was a ground wire off the stock alternator. So I parked it for three months and decided to buy another alternator and put it on. So today after I washed the entire vehicle. I was heading to my house to clean myself up and made it probably two blocks from the car wash, and poof caught on fire yet again. =/ Same problem again with the ground wire burning up. I need to find out or if someone could help in disecting the problem. If i need to replace the charging system wiring harness. or run wire straight to battery from alternator. Or what I need to do. P.S. My father also said something about it being a shift solenoid for third gear pulling to much power and causing it to burn up since the transmision is partially mechanical/electic for shift solenoids. If anyone can help please post or I.M. me Thanks much=)=(

Well I only shop for nissan equipment at oreilly's. Sadly. But now that I'm working again, ill buy new alternator, and a used one out of a parts pathy for a second one since im taking ac out. But will be running a second battery with an isolator so that should help out with draws

Well its been replaced twice and rebuilt 3 times. Also another question with alternators is, im planning on taking out my ac unit this spring just because it works half ass and i rather roll with windows down ya know but i wanna use the free space to run a second alternator off another pathy or upgrade one and install it. Will be running second battery to for my system question is, how would i wire it up?

SO here's my question... My lights in the dash all come on, and off when they want to. Like trans temp light, battery light, and i believe another light but do not remember which one, but they are all red. What does it mean they that happens? I'm leaning towards altenator and regulator because sometimes my voltage hits 16.0v to 18.0v really depends on how warm it is out side or it drops straight to 12.0v even with no actuall load. so can someone point me in the direction i need to be in. Im tired of replacing amplifiers for my audio system =)

Well that really depends on how far down your front end is sagging. Most pathys came with 31x10.5R15 but over time the front end droops down and well mine rubbed for a while.. i ended up using them for 3 years, and finally replaced with a smaller set, but i took mine to tire shop and had them adjust everything back to stock basically a torsion bar lift

When the kid hit my tailgate when we were in the mud, it hit right at the handle. I know the linkage isn't attached, or anything. Well there is no linkage in there since the accident. So any suggestions?

So I have purchased a new tailgate since mine was ruined in a rear end accident. I just cant open the old one. I need to know how to open the door to unbolt it, and put new one on. Can anyone help me out.

Alright thanks Ha it was funny when i crawled under there and grabbed the joint and it fell out in a few pieces lol... anyways, you guys are much helpful

Alright thanks, well I put it up on a lift today. Started up put in four wheel drive and was looking seeing its limited slip one side is always pulling and the other waits to lock in. Well, i need to buy the new cv assembly. The whole inside of it is sheared apart. Damn the luck haha But thanks for helping though=) very much appreciated. oh uhm is there a forum on installing the new axles lol

So tonight on my way home from my girlfriends house, it started to snow out bad. Well i live on a hill, and need 4 wheel drive to make it up, I got lucky and made it without but almost slid off the road. My transfer case goes into 4wheel drive its just my front end isn't locking it. I know i need to replace the axles, because the boots have been torn for 2-3 yrs. What would cause the front axle to not lock in though?
