I had one installed on either strut. My camber was fine for the entire duration and my tires wore pretty much perfectly.

Boss! Nice Yota.
And you still have your Pathy so I see no treachery at all.
-
For the record, I think Keelhaul has the best winch set-up on a stock bumper. Looks badass, too.
-
I wouldn't want one of those. Is just a winch sitting on a brush guard. A brush guard that is not load bearing. Even the OEM brush guard had thicker main supports. Those are paper thin. That thing will get ripped off or very badly bent the first time it is used. If you can't find it anywhere, that is probably because it was a prototype or something. I can't see how those two tiny supports could take over 4000lbs of weight from the truck.
This.
i don't even want to think about winching at an angle with this...
And this.
That looks like a serious failure waiting to happen...
And this.
Looks more for show than anything functional. Or maybe winch transport at best...
-
Exactly, just take out the spare and hold the tire up there and see if it clears, no need to make whole new damn thread about it.
That's the whole point in having this forum.
So Andrew, were you able to fit it up there?
-
If you go OEM, this rust problem with keep coming back. Your best bet would be to go with something aftermarket (i.e., stainless steel) which is resistant to corrosion. Salt really does a number on these trucks. Living in the salt belt sucks...

Whatever there frame boy.

That tent on Northernpathy's rig is sick. Is that the ARB one?

That's lookin' just boss!

Just jokes...
Welcome to the forum. Definitely check out 4x4parts.com for lift kits.
-
Also, Ironrocks Offroad charged me about $60 to ship the WJ springs to Canada and it was here in a couple days.
And those gave you the lift to match the SFD, right? Are you just running stock coils up front?

Welcome aboard! Post some pics of your ride.

Igetstabby: Exhaust looks good! Did you do that yourself?
Based on what I've read in this thread, I'm guessing the diameter would vary between the VG and VQ...? I'm curious because I'd like to do custom exhaust in the near future, and something that'll sound mean and provide some gains would be ideal.
-
Because it will not solve the problem of the @!*% load carrying capacity the r50's have stock. He will still be riding on the bumpstops lol.
Calm down, Mr. Zanette!!!
Well, OEM coils suck, that's a fact. The only option is lift coils... Or custom coils. WOT, contact Kevin coilsprings.com, he's done a few orders for members on here for SFD projects. He could probably design stock-height coils with a higher spring rate to keep your rear end from sagging/topping out.
-
Wrong type of vehicle no way!! This bitch can do it. And its different from all the exploders and tahoes in the shows I go to. I'll make it work
It bottoms out right now because I have removed the bump stops ( and discarded them stupidly ) for the airlift kits I was running
Rather than install new coils, why not just get a new set of bump stops...?
-
Damn, that's tedious... I'm going to try and tackle this tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks for the help!
-
I'm hoping to tint my reverse lights on the QX4 to match the tail lights (I tinted them this past week) but I have no idea how to remove them.
I also was wondering if the bulbs are the same as those found in the Pathfinder.
Sorry for sounding like an epic newb.

He sold it because he is a traitor.
Hey, I almost, almost bought a '03 S/C X... Not treachery, my friend.
I switched to the X because (to me, no hating here! lol) it had more potential.
I had all the steel cut and ready to do the subframe drop, but then switched gears mid-stride.
I've stipped the R50 back down to only having the 2" lift and rear bumper, asking $2000 now for it, paying only for the bumper and lift/struts/shocks, and getting a free truck with it.
I'd split it up $1000 for the truck / $1000 for the bumper if someone was really interested.
In terms of cost feasibility, the X definitely has the advantage. Lots of aftermarket support out there, too. Sad to see you part ways with the R50 but I couldn't care less because you got a X instead.
$2K for your rig?! Uh, can you say deal?
Someone, scoop up this R50!!!2 Grand for a lifted r50 complete with a custom rear bumper? Sounds like it would be an awesome project for someone to pick up cheap!
What he said.
Is that 2003 SE a 3.5?
Nope, the D22 Xterra had either the naturally-aspirated 3.3L VG33E (same as the '96-'00 R50) or the supercharged VG33ER. The 3.5L VQ35DE was only offered in the '01-'04 R50 (in terms of Nissan's SUV/light truck category, that is).
-
Definitely a once in a lifetime experience. Have a great trip and be safe!
Oh, and if you get a chance... Please tell the Russians we want their WJHC gold medals.
I'm pretty sure I attacked that fortress in Call of Duty: Black Ops.
And I'm jealous!
-
Potty piping!
I agree with Adam on this, only because I lack the patience to fab certain things, a snorkel being one of them.
I'd go with the D22 Safari snorkel, primarily because it's so versatile. Second, I've seen it on Dan's (vengeful) R50 and it looked downright awesome.
-
Nope, still stitting in my driveway with a forsale sign in it, complete with AC 2" lift and bender built rear bumper.. know anyone looking?
Mike, your new X is sick. And the KMA bumper mounts up beautifully... Like it was meant to be.
But I gotta ask: why did you move away from the R50? Your build was going seemingly well.
Speaking of your R50, are you selling it as a whole? I was quite fond of your custom rear bumper...

From what I can tell, the coils all provide the same amount of lift. The determining factor is what you have equipped on your rig (winch, bumper, etc.) when it comes to how the coils settle.
