Looks nice STATS?

SSHHHhhh PEZZY will hear you :hide:

Sorry,missed that. Just figured that since you've already got a lot of experience and $$$ in R50 parts. Fixing yours or buying another one would be better than starting all over again.

Rocky Road Outfitters 1.75"??? Old Man Emu complete lift system $530.00 Shipped to my door includes rear springs,shocks and dampener.(no mention of spacers) Rocky Road OME springs only- $88.27 shipped AC rear (1.5") lift coils only- $128.22 shipped AC rear Heavy duty(3/4") lift coils only- $175.02 shipped I can get JGC coils at the local Junk Yard for $50.00 and may end up going that route. Cutting them down(if need be) so I won't need new UCA's/BJ spacers. If I could still get RC's UCA's for $160.00, I would. Just figured at $88.27 shipped(OME) or $128.22(AC) why buy used JY coils that might or might not be what I'm looking for. (just want as much LIFT and UP/Down travel as possible while maintaining proper alignment. Is that 2 much to ask for?

For anyone still interested.<WARNING LONG POST> I received a reply from Glen at Rocky Road Outfitters, Seth at ARB U.S.A(OME) and Mike at AC. 1st Glen(RRO) basically said the same thing as OME's ad..... OME designs they're suspension "system" so that there is NO NEED for other changes to to vehicle. If you go higher you'll have more problems/$$$$ At the time I wrote him I was unaware of the lift hight discrepancy between RRO's advertised OME lift hight of 1.75" to ARB/U.S.A's advertised .75 (3/4) The reply from Seth(ARB/OME).... OME's springs only give .75" of lift and RRO probably use spacers to get the advertised 1.75" of lift. Mike at AC says that AC's HD torsion bars and 1.5" rear coils should work fine. IF there is an alignment problem I should use 1/2 ball joint spacers to fix it. (specifically told him I would prefer AC's 1.5" coils but if he felt the alignment would suffer I would use AC's .75" coils because I did NOT want to use BJ spacers/UCA's) SO...... I'm going to e-mail Glen back to see if indeed RRO are using coil spacers to get 1.75" and if so. Aren't they messing with OME's systems design? O.K. I know....... "Who Cares,it's only a .75"-1.75" lift" Well,it's my beloved Pathfinder and HARD earned money. Who would you trust?

Planning ahead. Gas prices here in the U.S. are NOT going to stay where they're at or go down. just wait. Propane(or another alternative) will eventually be cheaper than gasoline here as well.

Going to join a local jeep club and need a CB to keep in touch with the trail leader. I know there are probably numerous posts/pictures on installing a CB. what kind,best place, and how to install. But search engine won't do 2 letters. Any links/pictures/opinions on installing a CB and antenna or How to:search:for dummies?

Well, I did a little research and found Rocky road Outfitters claim 1.75 (1&3/4) lift with OME's rear springs while ARB USA's website states .75 (3/4) lift with the same OME rear springs. Contacted both,see what kinda response I get. I'm bettin' it's only 3/4. otherwise OME's system would have UCA's like Superlifts and AC's.

Good info, Doesn't look like their kit would work on a Pathfinder unless ya stick in an older non computer controlled engine though. http://www.gotpropane.com/

Short notice,but better late than never http://www.4wheelpartscleveland.com/

Have you seen this?........ http://npora.ipbhost.com//index.php?showto...mp;#entry311375 I have not personally experienced OME's ride quality. In fact I haven't found anyone that's got the OME system on a WD21. But,from what I've read,most Land Rover,Toyota and R50 owners that do have the OME system love 'em.

My vote for the worst rip off artist is this guy http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=14730&h

I've got a droopy ass. + every bit of Xtra ground clearance helps. rather than buy stock springs from the dealer, I thought I could install either OME's or JGC's(4door/tire carrier) 1.5"-2" lift springs in the rear and crank the T bars a bit without having to buy UCAs Especially if the high $$ Superlift and Calmini UCAs are now my only options. (R.I.P. $160.00 rough country UCAs )

I know,I know.....3+3=33s BIGGER is always BETTER. But with me only being a weekend warrior and gas prices reaching $100.00 an ounce this summer. I have decided on 2"+31s= more money in my pocket. Now to da question...... Both Superlifts and Rough Countries 1.5"-2" Hardbody lifts discuss the need for new UCAs http://www.superlift.com/Catalog.asp?V=258 http://www.roughcountry.com/nissan_hardbody.html But Old Man Emu's 1.75" lift http://www.rocky-road.com/pathfindersus.html Doesn't I'm not even gonna get into AC selling their own UCA's(claims they're longerthan stock ) and Superlifts(says larger wheels needed to use these ) right next to each other for the hardbody but not for the Pathfinder!! Thought the Pathfinder and Hardbody shared the same IFS????? If I only run 1.5"-2" coils in da rear would it be wise to also install UCAs? Hell,If that's the case my as well go with 3" rear springs.

Always the oddball I'm runnin' 265/75/15 Kelly Safari TREX's http://www.kelly-springfield.com/auto/promo/trex.html Want to get a 2nd set of rims.(15X8) and a really aggressive MT for the real nasty stuff.

Used and this was closest topic I could find. Did all Pathfinders with disk brakes also come with LSD or were they separate options? Possible to have drum/LSD or Disk/open diff. from the factory?

x3, I would take it back and politely tell them since you offroad the hell out of this rig. You are concerned about how the line is mounted. If it's a good shop they should have no problem rebending it up and out of the way for ya.

The gasket wasn't able to be saved Dealer wants $110.00 for it anybody got a good used one a lot cheaper?.......PLEASE,I'm beggin' ya

Price? and much more important What do the welds look like???

Your kidding right? I thought you couldn't throw a rock in Southern California without hitting a 4X4 fab shop. Try livin' in Ohio........ or Russia. With all that competition out there I'm sure you can find a good fabricator that's not going to care whether it's a Nissan or a Radio flyer wagon go-kart. BUT,I also don't think you'll be able to get one custom made cheaper than what you can get an ARB bar for. But I could be wrong
