WARN is a very well respected American offroad supplier. I believe Mile Marker and Superwinch are also US based...but I could be wrong. The reason many people use ARB etc. is they are the ones who make most of the accessories for Pathfinders. Plus stuff made in Oz is just cool

you dont have to remove the tranny....but it might make things easier. just watch the oil pan as you get it in there.

yeah...well....check now its $101.18 for one now

will do that today thx

one thing though....did you replace both upper and lower with this type? or just lower? thx!

thanks so much nige! makes this so much easier

i refer to it as "this Nissan Pathfinder forum I go on"

got my coil spring compressor from harbor freight today $9.99 on sale. almost bought two for luck lol. i'll make sure to grease it. went to the 4wheel parts store today and they were not very helpful about the energy suspension coil spring insulators. isn't a specific one for pathfinders so they wanted the specific measurements etc of the stock ones before they would order. wouldn't measure the spring itself. anyone done this already, or is it better to go somewhere else?

yes! buy a bunch of spares and keep them in different places around the house so you will always have a back up.

lubing while erect is always the best method

good deal. will pick them up tommorow. this wasnt supposed to be this hard... lol

oooo. never thought of that! Will find an energy suspension dealer tommorow. I must be brain dead this week or something.

with the Key code i was quoted $10-20. When I got it done from my door lock the first time was $75, the second $50. Probably got ripped off, but I needed to get in the truck.

can get it made from the door too. thats what I did when i had my glove box locked. twice.

check the inside of your glove box. sometimes there is a series of letters and numbers written in there somewhere: these are the key's ID. Even a private locksmith should be able to cut the key with the key's ID.

well I rented a spring compressor, went home, and it wont work with the truck. It was one of those where you have to insert it into the spring via the hole in the top spring mount. But there is only like an inch between this and the floor/cieling. Went back to Checker and they don't carry another type of compressor. Looks like Harbor Freight have a cheap one, or is there another place I should check first? Yeah, looks like I'll need new spring isolators too. The old ones are falling apart. Just get these from Nissan?

E-brake disconnected too. I guess disconnecting the sway bar would be a good idea.....duh, lol. Makes sense now that I think about it. Have to try that tomorrow. May as well get the spring compressor anyways.

Spent all day doing my rear suspension lift today....and all I have accomplished is putting the shocks in I have the AC springs that I'm gonna put in. Is there a trick to this? I followed all the instructions, disconnected the pan hard rod, and even jacked up each side to get the other side to drop further, but I couldn't get the old ones out!!! Gave up in the end and just put the shocks on so I can drive it if I need. Should I just go get a coil spring compressor gizmo?

Not to jack this thread or anything...but as y'all are discussing them... do skid plates that people have take into consideration that Thorley Headers drop below the crossmembers? Or am I asking a dumb question?

thanks everyone! thats why I love this forum, get lots of responses. Gonna check out the TM first and then think about fabrication.

hmmm. last tune was bout 6 months ago. New everything. Ill scrape up the battery connectors tomorowz and see if that helps, and try the fuel pump thing.

Just recently my truck has been taking a long time to start, im talking 10 turnovers or so. But this is intermittant, occasionally it will start in 2-3. Thought it might have been my starter, had it checked and its fine. Any ideas of what else it could be?

Does Calmini sell the only drop down bracket extension for the WD21? Don't really want to pay $70 for it but at the same time not confident enough to fab one up right now. No other options out there?

check your ball joints arent kaput also. especially if you take her wheeling and drive over dirt bike jumps......

hey, I wasnt complaining! lol Just so addictive to try to get it right or bigger or better all the time
