I bought the K&N Intake because I was stupid and like to waste money...I love it, but Chris (02silverpathy) bought the intake pipes and filters you can get at your local auto store and built a custom intake for 1/10 the price I paid. And he built a custom heat shield. I will say that this engine sounds sweeeeeeeeeet with an intake on it.

I think most people vow never to do links again after the lowers, and the uppers aren't known to cause problems like the death wobble...i imagine the market is just too small for them

Struts that extend longer would be pointless because they would put the CV's at a severe angle...What I hear from most people is the topping out goes away after a while...I was ripped off and sold blown KYB's with the lift springs so mine never made a noise when topping out...

That is excellent work...I will never remove my fender flares for fear of what I find...

They are a tad pricey, but if you need to replace the links and offroad I would think they are worth the extra cost...And its definitely a good thing to have for people with SFD's...

I didn't feel like reading everything...I bought Dan's hitch off of his 99 and put it on my 2001. I did not remove the rear bumper, and honestly I don't think it would have helped at all. First of all the bumper on the 99 doesn't hang down as far as my 01, so the hitch digs into the bottom of the bumper a little, which is barely noticeable until you are wondering why it is so hard to get all of the bolt holes to line up. Otherwise, the bolts were a pain in the ass to get in because these are big, beefy bolts that need a good sized ratchet and you have a very small space to work in...

Those are designed as a temporary solution if you rip one on the trail...they are no good for a long term solution...

I like the wheels in the first one...and if I had a chance I would mount one of those just because it's different...

Brandywine is a ripoff shop.

I was just speaking form my couple of experiences with him, if this is truly the way he conducts business then that is a sad thing. I am never going to jump on you for saying your experiences and your opinions, I actually hold you higher than a lot of members because of your no bullsh!t attitude and way of handling things, which is the way I try to conduct mine. I hope everything works out for you guys and I hope this is not how Dan truly is...

I would get 31's. I have 32's on mine now, and the braking has become downright atrocious with them on, to me it is not worht the extra 1/2" over 31's. And 31's barely rubbed and worn 32's need a good bit of trimming...

The love of my life...

Probably in August was the last time we talked...

knowing dan personally i would say this is far from normal for him...

I'm pretty sure only manual models 00-04 have the manual mode transfer case, whereas all automatics from that point on had the all model. In any case, I am referring to the all mode transfer case, not the manual transfer case.

I don't think so or it would be a headline on the forum...i think nissan is just going to ignore the problem... It is not a hard job to do, there is a really good how to by Bowtied floating around, i think it is stickied in this forum...

Also, make sure to loctice the power valve screws soon after you take delivery, that is the only real issue with these trucks...

The problem fleurys is talking about only applies to automatic transmission 2nd gen R50's, if you have a manual like me you are golden!

Chris, weren't you asking how to get the shoes out when everyone was telling you how to get the drum off? If that is so, the shoes can be a pain to get off, but are an even bigger pain to get back on. With the drum off, take a picture of the assembly so you know how all the springs go. You will need to remove all springs attaches to the shoes, and in the middle of the shoe bracket there is a spring with a round hat that you press in and twist to release. If you want help we can replace your shoes and my PCV valve over a 12 pack during a weekend sometime soon. Just PM me if your game. Just an afterthought, didn't you have to remove the shoes when pulling out the axle shafts to pull the gears out? Dan and I took apart the shoes, but I don't remember if that was necessary to pull the axle or not...

You must be one strong guy! These are high grade suspension bolts, it took me about an hour per rear bolt (the fronts I could always get out with a ratchet) with a sawzall equipped with demo blades...I found an angle grinder is probably the most effective way, just get the thinnest cutting wheel you can and have at it...

I think they look better with the caps off...Legos look unique but too old school for me...I like the Xterra S/C rims...and someone with a WD had them and they looked awesome on it...

White letter, it looks stupid with black walls...

I mean on the actual youtube comment so people watching can read the story, it will make them feel all warm and fuzzy that people are capable of doing such great things still...

Jim, bring your daughter with you when you come for an East coast meet!
