  1. I don't have pics of just the mounts but here are a few,
    I made a few different types of mounts out of Engineering paper all to scale so I could tape it to some sheet and cut it out with my jigsaw. Ended up being the farthest right one that worked the best.

    Then I bolted in all the mounts lose so I could add a small shim to take out some slop, then I aimed it and tightened all bolts up using some never seize to stop any galvanic corrosion . The door seal actually has a built in channel that I used to run my 14 gauge wiring up the door sill.

  2. yup our work trucks are all 550s with 6.turd also. Love that engine to death.... Currently replacing another FICM Cant get rid of them because the market is so flooded, about to do the Cummins swap in it

  3. be aware that not all pathfinders with flares can transfer those flares to one without...I just replaced my driver side front fender..mine is a 00(no flares), the doner was an infinity with flares....the fender lines are just slightly different and the fender has holes for plugs to mount the flares on to ( I filled them) but the front marker light gap is a little bigger and the fender doesn't quite line up with the hood.

    The 96-99 pathfinder flares will bolt onto any preface lift pathy. While they don't have the side holes for the plugs, I used the holes that held on the wheel well lining to mount the flares I had as mine never came with them.

  4. From memory so I may be forgetting something. This is also for manual windows since that is what I have, Remove the bolts holding the armrest on, pop the trim piece off the inside door latch handle, Remove the screw inside the latch handle well area, Pop the Clip off the window crank(if Electric Im sure the switch panel comes out and disconnect the plugs and remove possible bolt there also) Then get a Trim removal device (looks like a giant 2 prong fork) and work your way around the perimeter popping the little red/orange clips out

  5. I have a 1999.0 with a manual tranny and 4.3 gears and 33s, suffice to say I wanted my umph back. I was looking at upgrading gears to say 4.9 so I could bring my highway manners and torque back close to stock. I was told I could simply use Xterra gears and move on with life, I recently came into possession of a front and rear R&P set in the 4.9 flavor. For starters, the Xterra and WD21 R200 front diff are a low pinion setup, this was the first big sign that they were not going to work, however being I had to swap in my lokka anyway we decided to dismantle my case and investigate further. The R50 gears are in fact reverse cut, however that is only because it is mounted in a high pinion setup, the axles still spin the same way when turned. Here is a X pinion and my R50 pinion next to each other for comparison sake.

  6. You have to weld them together yourself, the slider part is already built but where you want the standoffs to be is all up to you. All I did was flatten the pinch seam in a few areas and welded them up. They have saved my bacon numerous times and have a nasty dent on the bottom side, however they have not moved.
