It's not. Try this instead: Disengaging ie: dis·en·gage (dsn-gj) v. dis·en·gaged, dis·en·gag·ing, dis·en·gag·es v.tr. 1. To release from something that holds fast, connects, or entangles. See Synonyms at extricate. 2. To release (oneself) from an engagement, pledge, or obligation. v.intr. To free or detach oneself; withdraw. Heil!

Got the parts together to replace and repair the compression rod mounts and bushings. Bought sealant for the windshield. Would anyone be interested in a write-up/pics on sealing the front glass, or is that obvious and a waste of time?

I've been considering something similar by attaching the lower plastic assembly and arm rest to a sheet of aluminum. No more stained upholstery no more soggy ripped paperboard. TerranoNZ replaced his will aluminum, but I can't find the pics now.

The "Tactical" band wagon rolled five years ago. Now it's just sad. "I'm gonna open my tactical energy drink with my tactical pocket knife and set it on the tactical bumper of my tactical Pathfinder, 'cause I'm tactical like that." Give me a break. Even worse is naming a bumper company "TAG". I don't wanna think about playing tag with my truck, okthnxbye.

Well, I'm looking at building a roof rack out of 1 - 1.5" dia round tube. It looks to be big, as I'm planning on throwing 28' ladders on top. I've been killed on flat stock here. I'd love to finish my rear bumper and start on a front, but when building something as small as this costs $40 in materials, I don't see how building is even an option. No, I'd rather stay away from my local welding shops. Most of them are just asinine about the whole deal. I was kinda hoping for some alternatives that I may be missing.

The horns are Hella... I forget the model name. I've seen them on the web, but I got mine at a swap meet. They don't sound much different than stock. The rims a Intero, which isn't around anymore. I suppose I should measure the backspace, as folks often ask. To be honest, I don't have a clue. They're just an old set of Chevy rims that I picked up from a friend for $50. He needed the money, I liked the deep wheels.... I figured What The Hell. The tire does rub a bit on the driver's side under hard cornering, but I'm relatively certain that my frame is tweaked on that side. I've never had an issue with the passenger side. Here's my build: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=17404 She's not too pretty yet, but we're getting there.

I love reading about the custom stuff that you guys build. There's been some very inspiring work showcased here in the few years that I've been lurking. I weld myself and I'm not too shabby at the design aspect if I do say so. My biggest drawback is sourcing materials. I don't really know anyone that's in to this sort of stuff here, so asking for suggestions on where to go has yielded bad results locally. Steel is expensive. More often than not, it's cheaper to buy manufactured than to try to buy the materials individually. I just don't see how you guys do it. So, I figure I'm missing something. Just not looking in the right places. Can anyone suggest places to try for deals? Maybe share your usual type of sources or things to keep an eye out for? I'd appreciate the help.

The day I joined the Navy, a man at induction asked me if I had any distinguishing marks; it would be recorded in my Federal record. I decided then that I'd never make it that easy for them. I can respect a well done tattoo (like the one above... That's good work Harbinger!), but I'll never do it myself. ...'course I may just have a fear of commitment. Forever is a long time to have something potentially stupid drawn on you body.

You should be ok. I'm running 31x1250's at stock height. I'd keep your stockers for everyday driving though. Swampers wear really fast. I'm riding ProComp Mud Terrains, which have a bit better wear-rate then the Interco tires, but even they've worn-out fast under heavy road use. If you DD them, plan on replacements in less then two years.

The gear came in today. Mounted to sensor and bolted to T-case in 5 minutes. No sweat. My gauge is working, but my odometer is still dead. My GPS says the meter is 3 MPH slow. I'm not sure which to trust, but either way is close enough I suppose.

Imagine how much farther we'd be if more support had been given to Tesla's ideas. He had lots of patents that might have transfered to the auto industry.

Nope. Yellow. There were jeeps tho.

I like knowing for sure that my hubs are locked. There's no guessing when you physically twist the dial to "Locked"... "Yep. It's locked." Getting out and skating around the front end of the truck on an icy KY road in peak-time traffic kinda sucks though. 'Course there is some satisfaction in leaving a group of angry, shouting sedan-drivers spinning in place while I cruise away in 4L.

Good advice. Thanks. My cups are still there, but the hole is a mess. I'll have to find something that will fit inside the dish.... Or just grind them off. If money and time were no object, I'd buy a whole new bracket. $55 from Nissan.

Damn. That's not what I wanted to hear. I'm gonna have to go ghetto on mine until the parts come in. I replaced the missing thrust washer with a flat one I had laying around; Now I'll just flip the worn bushings around, tighten the piss out of the nuts and hope she holds. I'll get to fixing the wallowed-out cups this weekend.... What a bummer.

So how can a problem this extreme be fixed? If the hole in the bracket is this bad, won't the new bushings wear out all the faster? I'm looking at replacing mine with ES bushings, but my bracket looks a lot like the picture above. It's kind of disheartening.

Not mine. Besides, I think that system is a bit more complex then the Rancho setup. They may not need to be strong, but they at least need to put. It just seems to me that they could be shaken loose. I'm not attacking anyone, I was just wondering if this had ever been a problem. Anyway, "beefier" was mentioned. Adam, there are several on-line dealerships that have them for less than $14, but it's another 10 to ship... I don't know that I have that much faith in my local parts department.

LoL! Mine has been frozen at 103999 for God-knows how long.

I hate reviving dead topics, but this one is kind of confusing. How can the Rancho (or any other aftermarket) SS be tougher than stock when they mount the shock to the CL using nothing but U bolts? Do they hold up all right? It seems to me that they'd slip under any kind of heavy strain. Is there something I'm missing that keeps this from happening? BTW: Rock Auto is apparently not stocking the factory damper pin anymore. Any sources other than the dealer?

Jealous.

Replaced the sealed beams with new and changed the oil and air filter. There was a small puddle of oil on the garage floor this morning, but I couldn't find anything leaking. I've got so much to do to the truck over the next couple weeks, I really don't need engine mysteries popping up.

It looks like a modified 86 HB 4x4 grill, which is what I just bought for mine. Those integrated lights are sweet. I think yours is the first front end that I've truly envied. Very nice.

The book said XE=20t, so that's what I bought. The problem is, I'm shooting in the dark. The part will be in sometime this week (I hope), so I guess I'll figure it out then. If it even works in this case, I'll be able to check the reading to my GPS and figure how far off it is.
