do you have the gas struts that hold up the rear hatch?
-
Thats beautiful 
-
(I'll check nomination sizes later and talk it over about letting that HB slide or not, but current thoughts are gonna be a big negatory since it is NOT truely a Pathfinder/Terrano/QX4 but have been let in in the past)
It is a sick truck without a doubt
, but i agree, its not truly a pathfinder so shouldnt be allowed -
Phantom what brand was that axle that broke ?
i dont recall and i threw the box away. the box was blue if that helps
All i know is that it said made in china.the shaft itself didnt break, the boot tore and was oozing grease all over...
-
Are you running a lift or stock?
If your boot hasnt been torn for long and you have a lift, just buy new boots from Rockford Constant Velocity (www.rockfordcv.com).
I bought a replacement CV axle from Advanced Auto and it lasted about a week, and i didnt even have the hub locked
I have a 2" AC lift.It is not to difficult to replace the boot, and it'll save you $$$ from buying a new CV shaft.

keep 'em on

I am looking for a little lift and a better ride without putting too much stress on my cv axles.
If you got any cash left over, I suggest investing in some new CV's or just new boots from Rockford Constant Velocity. I replaced my passanger CV a month after my lift cuz it tore. Then the driver side tore a few weeks after that. Then I finally got the better boots and had them replaced because the cheap CV i bought from the parts store only lasted 4 days. Even with Warn manual hubs the boot still tore. My boots have survived one offroad trip so far...

get the HD springs. the ride is going to be stiff anyways
that way just incase you do decide to upgrade the bumper you wont have a sagging front end
-
Uh one more question. The kit on amazon only goes from -1 to +1 do you think that will be enough? I noticed the one on 4x4 is -2 to +2
Id go with the one thats got more adjustability, just incase you get wicked camber when its lifted. But im sure others will give some input...
-
When im not fixing or driving the Pathy im cruizing in the Bimmer ('97 E36 328i)
-
I just paid the $30 per side cuz i didnt want to wait longer to get it from somewhere else. But amazon has them i do believe. Best of luck! Your going to love your lift
-
You will get mixed reviews when it comes to which lift to go with. Read some of the other threads and see how others have decided.
Ive got the AC lift from 4x4parts and i love it! if you have saggy suspension you will get more than 2in of lift. I didnt take measurements, but i would say i gained 3 - 4in. Over time it will settle. When my lift was first installed, the front was higher than the rear, but the front has settled and i have the raked look.

Still cleaning off the mud from my Badlands trip

can't an R50 ever win.
its rare...we just need more R50's out on the trails and not in the mall parking lots

GrimGreg got my vote too

Lastly, I'm going to order new wheels and tires- are 32 x 12.5's too big??? Anyone have any input on tires that are good for summer AND SNOWY winters???
Thanks!
32's will be ok if you want to do some trimming, but 12.5 i think is too wide...
Ive got 245/75/16 Goodyear Duratracs and I love them...it lookes like i could fit a bigger tire but when fully locked, i barely clear inner fender. I rub the front bumper in reverse, left and right.
You might want to do some fitment tests before ordering tires, because all manufactures sizes vary slightly...
Best of luck!
Oh and you'll have somewhat of a limited selection of tread patterns if you go with 32's...thats another reason i went with 31's
-
We should make that an NPORA annual run!

-

To anybody heading to the Badlands remember to bring an orange flag for your rig.
Happy Wheeling -
I must be confusing the plastic spacer (or adapter) that came with my red top? Are you guys talking about a vehicle specific adapter?
Yah one made for pathfinders from 4x4parts. but Rick13 said he didnt use one, so now i dont know
-
Where do you get the adapter plate?
I saw it on 4x4parts.com...it is $16 for the adapter
-
i was looking into this a while back and you have to buy an adapter plate or holder because the factory one isnt big enough...
-

D a m n man i am sorry hear about this. The truck did its job in keeping you safe. Maybe the motor and trans are still good?
