I understand unbolting the driveshafts would work. If I was flat towing it across country once in it's life etc... that would work. But, I want to use this behind my motorhome a couple times a month. It would get really old crawling under there every time I wanted to use the Pathfinder on my trips. That would be about 5-6 connects and disconnects on a weekend as we like to hop from one place to another and take the Motorhome with us. The front driveline disconnect is the issue I think. Remco has a rear disconnect system. But, no one makes a front disconnect for them as far as I know. It doesn't really look there is room for one. It's pretty close up front there. I wish Remco was around the corner from me so we could come up with something. The object is to be able to pull a lever (or two) for the disconnects and still keep the strength for off roading. The rear isn't a problem the front is the issue I think. I'd like to figure this out so that I can sell my JEEP and get back that $13K invested, free up the insurance $'s, reg costs and storage space. We were going to just tow the F100 with driveline disconnect, but since have killed that idea due to motor rebuild, lack of 4WD and AC on her. Wife has allergies and asthma so that means AC with recycle mode is a must especially in the spring.

I like the cast iron color that VHT has. On the smooth Alum you can polish and Hi Temp Clear Coat it. 472 - 800HP 327 - 360HP I can hardly wait to get this Camaro finished up and back on the track. We have the radiator and trans cooler mounted now. We are working on our custom grill and the wiring. After that it's ready to fire up. ;-)

If your going to go with a mid 90's .... Here's a nice low mileage for the year Pathfinder for only $2900. It would fit the bill nicely. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_...mp;cardist=1819 And here is a 2000 for under $7000 - The only thing it doesn't have is the VQ found in the 2001 and newer - Really nice rig: http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_...mp;cardist=1801 Good Luck - I hope my post helped you.

ALL MODE doesn't have a neutral setting. Manual doesn't show flat towing a recommended option. It shows, for both Part time and ALL MODE that you have to have all four wheels off the ground when towing. If further goes on to warn you of Transfer case damage if you tow with only front wheels off the ground. You can't even reverse tow it or do a driveline disconnect. REMCO said that a driveline disconnect could be done. However, after putting the Pathfinder on a lift in 2WD and shifting into drive the front tires spin slightly. Therefore there still is some sort of clutches etc.... that remain connected and REMCO then said .... sorry, we can't help you. I was just wondering if someone found a way around that. That would have been a $2000 solution if it would have worked. I agree that towing on a trailer is the best option especially if that trailer has brakes on it. I have done that before behind the Motorhome. However, the wife for some reason didn't want to store or try to find a place for the trailer in the campgrounds. She is right it does take so shifting around in campsites etc... Or, It limits us to the pull through sites. I really think it's a storage thing for my wife. So, I ended up with a '04 JEEP Wrangler that I paid 13K for to tow behind the Motorhome. It's easy to connect and disconnect but, I just thought someone might have figured out a way to flat tow our Pathfinders. I think that's why you don't see any of our Pathy's behind Motorhomes going down the road. Thx for the replies ..... AJ

Now that looks like some fun. That's one of the main reasons I like come-a-longs with tree straps and extra lengths of tow straps / chains. A portable winch for $90 from harbor freight comes in handy at times too. An anchor can be of use for fast retrieval too. Or bury a tire. But, don't think I haven't been stuck for hours on end figuring out what's going to or not going to work. Fortunately, I haven't had to fashion skis or something to drag my truck out on yet. I hope I never have to. But what really make me mad is when my dog just stands there and laughs at me and doesn't even lend a paw to help.

Not sure what your budget is. But, if your budget allow for a $13-15K SUV you might consider a 2001-03 Pathfinder with the VQ motor and 255HP. It will tow quite a lot and still gets 20 mpg unloaded. I tow my 3500lbs boat (21')on a 1200lbs trailer and it hauls butt up hills and around corners through the mountains. My buddy with his V8 and towing his boat simply was shocked. The newer motor with the extra HP is really nice for towing. I tow my 67 Race Car and a very heavy trailer with major tool, gas, extra tires, ramps, compressor you name it. I actually would recommend a older Jeep Cherokee for power if you plan on towing and can't afford a 2001 and newer Pathfinder imo. My Old Jeep with air shocks did pretty good handling the loads. But, it didn't even come close to what this Pathfinder is capable of. My .02

Hey, do any of you people flat tow your Pathfinder? As in behind a motorhome all four wheels on the ground. Then, the next question is how do you do it if you have auto locking center diff like the 2001 LE Versions? If anyone does this I'd really like to know. I have towed my Pathfinder behind a motorhome but, only on a trailer. I'd like to improve that situation.

For those of you that want to take a HiLift with you. I took a peice of steel bent it and mounted it to my rear hitch mount just in front of my bumper. Works pretty good but, you have to watch your shins if you don't get it out of the way before loading or unloading. You guys have a pretty complete list here. I take a generator along as well and sometimes a trailer full of spare parts for base camp just in case. Some people have said GPS. But, I always carry a liquid filled compass in case all else fails. Maybe the only thing I can add to this list is fishing line and hooks in case your out there a while. Or, tire chains are always nice for extra traction. On my Jeep I have a mounted winch. For the pathfinder, I have a portable winch (busted cable right now from stump pulling). I still take the portable with me along with the good old come-a-long.

Just post here when your site is back up. The domain says it's waiting for a renewal as of 2-28-08. I'd like to see what you have to offer and the pricing.
