damn man...u can barely tell mine from the pic, if i could figure out how to resize my pics i would post it... btw: tell me about the tails, i thought i was the only person who wanted the new tails on their pathy...where you get em? plug and play? how much?

you guys just about have me sold...im going to have to take everything off to get to the c/v axle though to replace it. Any suggestions on that whole process? Before the bashing begins i havent searched yet...

^^^ same here

thats a great guide, thanks my biggest concern is on amazon it says i need to "When Replacing Factory Automatic Hubs With Manual Hubs, You Must Also Purchase Spindle Nut Conversion Kit #29918 (Except For ADD)," but i didnt think i did... any suggestions

So after dealing with those retarded zip boots leaking a couple days later, ive established that im going to have to replace my cv boots the old fashioned way... im considering just putting off getting an intake to get the hubs instead since i will be removing the old hubs anyway...what do you guys think? Is there any difficult part of installing these or are they relatively straightforward to put on... Do i need any other parts or is it a simple take of the old put on the new? lastly does anyone know where i can get a set for a reasonable price? Ive heard of guys getting them for less then 200, and would love to do that. thanks, mike

Sorry guys, i tried but i couldnt do it... too involved for me, i like games where i get results quick

i was hoping to get all the parts from one site...what all did you get? Mine was during stop and go traffic and i was pushed into the truck in front of me. The center middle piece and the bumper valance were both dented up, and they were pushed into the coolant overflow tank and busted that. I was gonna replace all of those three parts, both endcaps w/ flares, and the drivers side mounting bracket (looked bent from visual inspection). Think i should do anything else?

For those of you who have intakes already, what did you do with the MAF? I know the cheaper kits dont come with an adapter.

that could certainly help with shipping...kidrock id hold off a little and see if this will work out

You can find them on various websites, including weaponR's website and ebay. On ebay search for pathfinder intake and go down to the stores section and check them. All are 200 or so plus shipping. The dragon intake is the cheaper one which i believe you can get for 130-140

I got in an accident a couple months ago, and my front bumper, as well as the bumper covers are definitely messed up, and the bumper punctured the coolant overflow tank. So I actually have two questions... 1. Where is the best place to buy the parts online? All of my parts are just the plain black, no chrome. 2. Do you guys think I should replace anything else? I was going to get a bumper retainer as well since it looks like it sits right where the impact was. Thanks, Mike

You have PM, that was the one i was looking at.

if you shift like he did with the truck on, you would get a nice grind going from N-4lo, you need to have a smooth @!*% like he did from 4lo-4hi.

Bends do create turbulence, but how the 4" tubing with two 90 degree bends in it compares with a straight 3" pipe, i have no idea... well hopefully the local autozone has a straight pipe that will fit, if not im gonna have to go with the weaponR intake

I think thats all the pop charger is, if you go to the manufacturers website... ive been interested in this also, so let me get the options straight weaponR intakes for 97-99 - $140-200 (two diff. kinds) ebay for xterra - $90 on ebay popcharger from mfr on courtesy parts - $150 ricer parts and k&n filter from autoxon - $70ish? are there any others?

yea but you gotta love having the shifter there, i feel badass when someone asks what its for, they always think that it means my 4wd is better... and in case this happens to you as well, if you push it back up into 2hi but the light stays on, just cut the wheels and move a little bit and 2wd should disengage, it just needs a little push first...also, if your in N, if you shift into 4hi or 4lo you will hear a grind, you only dont get the grind if you go from 4lo-4hi or reverse in one smooth action...and yes you have to push straight down on the shifter to go into neutral, i had trouble with it at first too

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooo DO NOT drive on the highway in 4Lo, u wouldnt even want to do that in 4Hi. Try pushing the lever straight down and forward back into 4hi like you had to do to get to 4lo...if that doesnt work do not take it on the highway

boo on cummins...yay for powerstroke...ive never even seen what is useful about those trucks...oh wow you can make it sound like a big rig, but hold on, its not, so what is the point?

boooooo...way too popular in MD, Evo's are much rarer...besides, do u really like the way that boxer sounds?

Gotta love MD, we stay around 30 most of the winter, i dont remember getting lower and single digits in the 19 years ive been around

yea im on there...still go there a lot on the w163 forum, under the same name...and it came from Alabama, and was recently ranked the least reliable SUV mercedes has ever made, out of all 3 of them

Having owned one i can verify that the w163 M class mercedes were all very capable off road...full time 4wd, not awd, with lowrange capability...some guys custom fabbed some body lifts and raised the front via torsion bar to even it up, the smallest width tire they had were 8.5 inches. Now its not a hardcore trailrider, but pretty much anything you would do in an R50 you could do in a w163 go to benzworld.org and check out the 163 forum, its actually something a lot of those users are into

50k? I would go right to the Mercedes Dealer and tell them to find me an 02 ML 55 (which go for around 25k now), put the kleemann supercharger on it (15k), and save the rest for repairs (needed for these vehicles) and watch all of your 350Z's and such in my rearview mirror, then go hit the trails

you need a relay which has a connector to the battery, one for the ground, one for power to the lights, and one that is the turn on which you would want to splice into your parking lights, then they are on whenever your lights are on, and you can run a toggle switch after that if you choose

how much did these cost and where did you get them? I really want to lift, but dont want to buy new wheels
