Nah, just weld the washer to the frame. In my case, the front cups were pretty-much gone.

I feel weird about putting wood in my car/truck. Doesn't look bad though. A for effort... But, can you better explain what you gained here?

I welded a heavy 7/8" washer to the bracket. It was pretty close to the original size.

Wimpy arms.... I don't see any reason for that not to work. It's not like it gets any more support form the normal position. I suppose there's only one way to find out.

What's this "torque" you speak of? Why would you want hundred pound crows feet? Just pull on that MF'er until the nut stops turning.

Ok. I won't worry so much then. Thanks.

I thought the Mile Marker instructions were fine when I changed mine over.

The ODO is wonky like that. I recently fixed my speedo after years of driving with a broken speed sensor. The speedometer kicked on as soon as the sensor was installed, but the ODO took a little over a day before it kicked on. The way I look at it, that's a just few more miles that don't count. I only have 104k on my 95. That's above average!

Has anyone used these parts? I'm looking at a set of their ball joints, but I'm wary of quality/price. Rock lists them 3/10ths of a dirt. They come with cool blue bushings too!

Yikes!

It shouldn't matter. I've done it both ways and I noticed no difference other then it being easier to work with the tires out of the way. Do it like this and it should go more smoothly. -Remove the big end-nut from the compression rod (24mm wrench). -Remove the two bolts connecting the LCA (19mm wrench, 22mm socket). -Slide rod forward into LCA enough to clear bushings. -Remove old bushings. -Replace the rod into the frame with new bushings and washers in place against the bracket (don't forget the bushing sleeve). -Replace and tighten the end nut. Hold the compression rod steady with your 19mm wrench around the flat taper (As you tighten the end nut, it will be easier to align the holes for the LCA bolts). -Replace and tighten LCA bolts. -Soak tired forearms in Epsom salt taking care to keep out of knuckle wounds. I may get some flack on this (its a forum, there's always flack), but I've done this job three times in the last week and this is the best way I've found to do it.

Wive's. I still don't think you're making your case.

What's a fiam?

Check with them again. The released a new model last week. Looks pretty badass. http://www.ruger.com/products/gunsiteScoutRifle/models.html

I called Energy Suspension about my mis-shipped bushings. The retailer blames ES; ES blames the retailer. I'm in the middle. They conceded to send me my swaybar kit straight from the factory though, so I'm happy. So happy in fact, that I'm not going to push the fact that it really was Energy Suspension's fault. They put the wrong part in the box. Double plus - Now I have a spare set of compression rod bushings! Yay!

Did you know that if you tap the rear bumper of a Pinto with a crescent wrench, it'll explode?

Just get the tranny number from the FSM and match it. The V6 uses an RE4R01A (that's the same as the KA24DE 240sx). The I4 uses the RL4R01A. I've really been wondering about the Diesel Terrano's transmissions. Particularly the R51 turbos. If you're gonna go crazy, find one of these and forget about gasoline.

Yep, stick to whatever you can find from the JY. I recommend something from a pre-90's land yacht. The Hellas look cool and I got a deal on them, but they aren't an improvement. Personally, I won't buy this style of horn again. The disks tend to freeze in the winter, then you're left with no horn until they thaw... maybe. I'm sure this is less of a problem with a bumper, or by relocating to the engine bay, but I doubt it would ever be an issue with the shell type.

The parts pictured match the FSM.

Bah! Saiga 12 pwns all.

Sure. You can stuff a 351 into a pinto or make a monster truck out of a 59 El Dorado too. Some mods are left to those crazy death-wish types. A Pathy with Vtec, Lambo's and a Shogun spoiler would be way too fast and furious for a normal person to control. Now, this guy on the other hand....

THAT is an awesome find! Thank you for posting a link. I'm all over it.

Yes. You can order one from +\%28wd21&cPath=5572_5573_5640_5657"]Courtesy Nissan of Texas, but you'll need to match the gear to your model and/or tire size. To sum it up: I used a 20 tooth gear, as that's what was noted as required for my XE. However, it might have been a better idea to buy the 19 tooth as it may provide more accurate readings due to my over-sized tires. 18 tooth is also available, but others have had problems with it engaging in the transfer case.

I called my Pathfinder (and my wife) when the Porsche left me stranded today. I was so happy to be rescued, I kissed her. Then I said hello to my wife and drive home.
