Nice!! I need to do the E brake swap to under the dash myself...ever since I put in the troy, I have been without one... Plan on using hardbody parts to complete the swap but have yet to get around to it...time has a way of evading me...bastard.

LOL yes... very funny.... I would say that checking the torque would be a first, as mine seems to keep getting loose...

Yep, I have ran one of the first gen HF 8k winches, and it saved me multiple times... it is now on a full size Chevy and still truckin right along. I did have some issues out of (either a 9 or 9500 K) HF winch, but when they swapped it out no more problems. Sticky solenoids... IMHO the next winch I buy will be from HF, unless I can find another 8274... lol yea right.

Well I officially ran my truck out of gas, and am showing 14.6 mpg... wow. I went from 21-22 to 14.6?? Yea well most of the time I was dragging a trailer or stop and go traffic haha.

Ive got a set of Frontier wheels sitting by the shed, they are the exact same as a Tacoma wheel... they served their purpose, and cost only 75 bucks...woo hoo

Hmmmm, this has got me thinking... A few years back I did an S10 Blazer body swap to a K5 Blazer frame. Mounted a 5 gallon tank just forward the fuel tank with a motor mounted and driven compressor. Worked great... On our Pathfinder's however there is not much space in front of the fuel tank... unless a body lift is applied. I have a 3 inch on mine, and there is a ton of space available for a small cylinder or a large pancake tank. I like the idea of having one in the cab, but at the same time I dont like it... My wife and kids go everywhere in the Pathfinder, and if that tank suddenly ruptured, or it was punctured etc, I would feel terrible if one of my kids or even the spousal unit were hurt... Now on that same thought... A buddy of mine built a rear bumper out of 1/2 walled steel pipe, 6 inch diameter, welded the ends and installed nipples and a gauge. Had lines ran along the frame to a pump mounted in the engine bay. The thing worked great...

Okay, a lot of good input here... Mine runs at 12.5-13.6 depending on where the load is. My suggestion would be to check your grounds. More importantly the ground straps that goes from your frame to your manifold/block areas. When I did my maxima swap, I had some strange idle voltage issues, (no stumbling or hesitation.) I resolved this by fixing the grounds, and making sure they were clean, and or replaced etc. I am sure you have already done that, but I did not see it listed... On a second or side note, I would definitely check your ECU for codes. You would be surprised what you will find...

I need to do mine. Will wait til I pull the motor and replace all the leaks first...

I change my own oil. In all of my own cars, with the exception of my patrol car (simply because it is still under warranty and SOP for the department is to take it and have it serviced where it will retain the warranty.) Why do I change my own oil? For one I can get it done relatively fast, maybe not 10 minutes, but it is super quick. I work part time at Autozone, and can order Nissan filters if I so desired... at a discounted rate. But the MAIN REASON why I do it myself is this: I was out of town working and the wife decided to be a nice spousal unit for once, and took the pathfinder to a local "kwik lube." The freak tards at the local place but 5 freaking quarts in my VG30 and blew out the rear main, and lord knows what else... When I came home I saw a huge puddle of oil under the pathfinder, and almost lost it... but after the wife showed me the receipt of her intended "good deed" I realized it was not her fault, simply "JT" who was the "service tech." None the less, I still have blown seals, and they refuse to acknowledge an error. They state that their computerized oil dispensing system is accurate and that the error was not on their end, despite the receipt showing 5 quarts... LOL

I agree, I just came accross the deal and couldnt pass it up. I am kicking myself for selling the 60's I had behind the shed... I have read Steevo's write up about the front, and it looks wicked... although spendy.

I did not know that the waggy 44 was only 1/4 wall tubes... that is disheartening... And the camber... geesh... Now I am starting to wonder if I just screwed the pooch entirely... Naw, not for $175 for both the front and rear...

LMAO. I have one of the Calmini brackets... yep it had to be modified... and now its rusting like crazy... time to powder coat it... Amen. Ryan, got a company name?

Dude, where you been.... lets see some progress lol.

Very cool. Looks good man, keep the updates coming!

Very cool. Love the stance... AS for the swaybars, when I removed mine the whole dang truck became a weeble wobble of scariness! But I drive it anyway... I don't plan on getting into any high speed pursuits in it...hahaha Looks great man, really does!

I like the idea, and I can see the reason for the excessive fuel. Would be really cool to have enough to do a "Book of Eli" trek from one desolate area of the country to another... Havent owned a HB in a few years, but it should work with some minor modifications...

Ryan, its all about priorities brother!! I love watching my kids play ball, and well just play in general... I only wish that my dad was around to watch me grow up way back then... I do not intend to be like him... Back on topic I got me a set of full size waggy's, and do not intend on shortening them at all... I dont know about Ryans stance, but it may have simply been what was available... Just an observation... But I am excited about giving my Pathfinder a wider stance... and more trail capability....

When I did my Maxima alty swap I ran into one issue, when I am driving and RPM is up, the blower motor blows faster, and slower when off the gas... weird huh... No suppressor on mine tho, and don't need it, since I don't even have a functioning radio!!

Wow that is REALLY funny. Made my day... Very true though... Mine weighs in at 4770 lbs on the local CAT scale with no front bumper whatsoever. I average 16 to 19 mpg, and have 225+ miles... What these guys have mentioned is spot on... i would only add to check your gap, I know it sounds silly but it can make a difference...

Sweet!! When I first acquired my Pathfinder I did the usual swap, plugs wires and cap rotor etc... Bosch plugs, 3 of the 6 were similar to that....one was broken completely... Thank the Lord it was on the EASY side...LOL
