really? because your pathfinder has a distributor.

is that yalls excuse for still driving a WD21?

all you do is take some long vacuum tubing (or fuel line, or whatever), attach it to your diff, then run it up to a high point under the frame.

i just disconnected my lower airbox (in the fender) from the upper airbox (in the engine bay). i didn't actually remove it; i just removed the hard rubber gasket connecting the two pieces, effectively creating a large air gap. the engine can kinda still pull in cold air from the fender, but because of the air gap, water in the lower airbox will not be sucked into the engine. the only way is if the upper airbox is underwater. when i sunk the pathy on new year's eve, the water level was halfway up my headlights, and it still didn't suck water into the airbox. i don't plan on going much deeper than this: yes, that's water in the driving light. the airbox is shown removed in the pic. we pulled it off to confirm that no water had gotten into the airbox.

navaro snorkels work on R50s. we can't expect you to know this, considering you insisted that there were multiple lockers available for the 33-spline H233B.

this thread is called 'show off your R50 (pic)' so this IS the CORRECT forum.

IIRC, the all-mode tcase has an oil pump driven by the front drive-shafts. if you disengage the front, you disable the oil pump and can potentially overheat the tcase. don't quote me on that, though.

lol, yours isnt lifted either. my power antenna snapped last month in the car wash (my fault). i replaced it for $13.60. 4.6 > 4.3. literally but if you really want to know where you said top of the line, i can post the AIM convo where you made a point that yours is SE and mine is LE. anyway, andrew, do you know if you can make it to barnwell this weekend? if i can get all the bugs worked out tomorrow, i'll for sure be there. the rest of the houston group is leaving friday morning (mostly).

top-of-the-line, eh? i don't see a power antenna.

not any accessory. you have to splice into a circuit which always has power when the key is ON. if you splice into the radio circuit, your lights will not turn on if the radio is off. some good options are ABS or AC. or you can splice them to your park lights; that way, you can turn on your IPFs without turning on your head lamps or fog lamps.

that's cutting it close. the most i've ever put in was roughly 18gal.

andrew, you don't do any real off-roading so i would just get some goodyear assurance.

a burnout doesn't nearly stress a vehicle as much as off roading, imo.

if it were me, i'd just hook a shackle and strap to that lower vent hole thingy, and try to straighten the bitch out. if it works it works, if it doesn't, so be it. you can hardly tell anyway!

well that's ARB for you. it's not their fault we bought unibody SUVs.

in my communications with ARB, in my loooong wait for my bumper, the impression i got was that they only make R50 bumpers when they have received at least 2(?) orders. i was very lucky that pete (PDCCD) also ordered one; otherwise, my bumper would never have gone into production. Buddy at ARB told us that we're lucky they even make a bumper for trucks as old as ours. i didn't know 5 years was obsolete! with that said, i don't know if you can even order R50 ARB Sahara bars anymore. there would have to be a minimum order of 2 for them to bust out the tooling to manufacture our bumpers. so, alex, i think the Xterra retrofit is your only option, if you insist on not getting the ugly KMA bumper. if someone had the tooling and know-how and spare time to design/fab/market a retrofit bracket for Xterra-to-R50 ARB bumpers, i think it would be a gold mine. Xterra ARB bumpers are readily available (comparatively) and as alex pointed out, significantly less expensive.

you'll like this one then

they're a complete lamp assembly, and require the housing to mount them. they can not be used as direct headlamp replacements, so they need to be mounted like traditional fog/driving auxiliary lights - like Hella, PIAA, IPF, etc.

they're GE Q4509 bulbs (long-life version of the normal 4509). you'll need the housings to mount them.

those are badass, but not $2000 badass, IMO. for that price i'd surely get front/rear lockers first.

Dean, any pics of your HIDs?

if you just want air for your lockers, you can get a small compressor for $100-150. it only gets expensive when you start installing hi-output compressors and auxiliary tanks.
