  1. If shipping/labor across the border is a concern and your moving over to this side in a few months, I'd say 1st thing should be patience and saving some coin As for your build, are you plannin on a specific type of use for it? Just a daily driver, streetable mild toy, strait mud truck, etc. you would be suprised of your trucks stock capability with some good tread. I would suggest going through the 'members rides' section here and looking at some of the r50 builds there for inspiration though.
  2. We have a pinned thread specifically for this http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/26865-rockautocom-discount-code/ Please use this for future rockauto codes
  3. You say not to be shy saying hi but waited how long to make a new member thread? I'm sure I'll eventually break down but I can't get into those LED light bars yet... Just too dated to give up on big round lights for now!
  4. I don't see Steeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevo being to fond of a bad product having his name associated with it. I'm sure he'll make it right (since I already see you've contacted him )
  5. Danger Cat is still good, nunya is happy you linked a good read for others interested so dead or alive this thread leads to good info (though with its title I don't see it getting the traffic FOR that )
  6. Future reference, ignore tappytalk error messages, I've removed the multiple of repeats (and the seperatly named thread with the same content) R50 patffinders have their quirks like any other vechile on the road (check through the pinned stuff in the r50 section). But if you talk to the people on here who actually own them and have driven them for years you will hear minimal on the negative side
  7. Tire carrier mount could be pretty ingenious actually... Someone in here should try to rig one from an old conversion van or something...
  8. Yea, we ain't against proper research and using an old thread for good info, that's what they are there for! And as said DONT STACK SPACERS OR USE HOCKEY PUCKS! A proper 2" or 3" body lift (most people jump on the bigger is better wagon but a 2" is plenty for some as well) is not only safer and correct, but will save you in the long run
  9. unless you pinch off the flex hose and push the old fluid out the bleeder (which I haven't seen done since high school ) As stated, check your brake light switch, xterra linked you good
  10. Ive had 1 and 2 together (or at least close enough to say so, I don't remember exact rpm anymore). It was at fault of the used Maxima Alty. I recently put in at the time. Different alty and I replaced the battery with a known good used one (preventive incase I cooked it from the ride home where it originally failed... Then Driving it for another week) How dare a junkyard part fail!
  11. Fwiw FSMs recomend an order of Load sensing valve (where applicable)-LR-RR-LF-RF which sounds 'backwards' from standard but is the 'correct' way.
  12. Agree personally with the census on the black wheels on your color...
  13. Remember, we have enough techs on here that can help with Chebby issues too
  14. I had issues with them a few years ago over a fuel pump that didn't last a week and was supposed to have a year warranty. I got every excuse possible trying to blame me from installation to ordering incorrectly and got absolutely no help. I rate them worse than CarID (which I had a terrible experience with as well) and don't understand the way people praise them over some 'exclusive' 5% discount nobody can ever find because google is too complicated... And I hope they do see this, places NEED to see their negative feedback to try to correct a problem that could cost them MANY customers. Word of mouth is way more powerful that a cheap commercial with a terrible song...
  15. Welcome and thank you for your service The R51 isn't as 'mainstream' around here yet but with some of the mechanical knowledges some of our members have, we should still be a good asset for you (them at or at least good times/good laughs!)
  16. It's a tapatalk thing, don't belive the error messages (duplicates deleted ) Welcome!
  17. My phone would probably change a real word TO that
  18. Well you picked a good one to join, just watch some of the people around here... welcome!
  19. That problem is well covered (so make that a "X4" for me). The slave ain't expensive so as stated I'd replace both just as a preventive.
  20. I 100% agree (along with all the other checks mentioned-don't blindly throw parts at it!), just bluntly stating the cooling issues I personally had
  21. One of the 2 times WhiteOwl ever overheated on me was due to the clutch fan failing (the other was due to a junk radiatior that was missing a majority of its cores ). If start with where B pointed you... Make sure the system is blead of air well (I always like to park on an incline or put the front end up on stands, helps force the air out), check for good flow. Save additives as a last ditch effort...
  22. Never had that issue, only time I would see a wd21 around here was at the pick a part, most r50s are picking up their kids from soccer, and the average Xterra would look at me funny because I don't have a Dick Dastardly moustache and wear thick black framed glasses with no lenses
  23. Don't apologize, that's why we have a search function! PM Alkorahil on the forums here, he can hook you up
  24. Your pretty well covered already besides I would like to add, don't be so quick to jump on the 'need lift and all kinds of stuff' wagon. If you pull the trigger, try it out a little as it sits... You may be quite suprised how these brave little toaster shaped trucks do in stock form with some grip and common sense when behind the wheel. Many a stock wd21 on 31"s have been proven around here to hang with big boys that have big bucks dropped into them.
  25. You don't want it as a full 'basket' so why not fit a factory Xterra roof rack bar set (requires some modification to sit right). Gives a cool off road-y look, is all Nissan, and still functional as a normal roof rack
