Wow those links looks big, how about the ride quiity?, any noticeable difference?

Thanks! Its a good addon with nice look. Thanks, I am sick at bed right now but I will report any issue the next week. Hello, on the manufacturer site there are a lot of pics, I have not take any of the valves. take a look here: check link Thanks, its just changing valves, except that the new ones have a nut to fix it on the wheel. In fact, I have replaced the valves by myseft while the tire shop person was unmounting the tires (I am not a confident person when it relates to install gadgets that are not common here). The only pic with the valve installed is one that I have found on the web. Good luck!

Thanks! Thanks again, another I have not tested on routes yet but from other comments I have read on the net, it support low pressure too (4 psi)and its fairly accurate. The display has over and under pressure alarms and you can see alternatively the temperature of tires.

Thanks!! it looks oem and the monitor fills the space perfectly!

That is the one I have used! but I bought it here: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/2-6-lcd-wireless-tpms-tire-pressure-monitoring-system-45222 Rgds

Hello all How about to install a TPMS kit (tire pressure monitor system) on our trucks..and at the same time to fill the useless "hole" that we have in the center console? This is the TPMS that I have bought, the kit comes with this screen and 4 tire valves to replace the standard ones. You have to disassemble the center console (there are some good threads about that on npora). I only need to drill the bottom of the pocket to pass the wire and connet it to the cigarette lighter: With everything installed back, this is the final product: Install takes no more than an hour. Hope you like it!

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking, I have never seen an extended bar, just extended links....pics pics pics please :-) We have all kind of terrains relatively near. Mountains with ski centers at one hour travel and beaches with a sand dune camp at 2 hours to the oposite direcction...Rock crawling we can do relatively close to. Mud... winter and mainly the southern part of the country. For me 4x4 is to be with my family and friends, so i love to travel, go to dunes and explore....and bbq :-) I dont know if I have answered your question yet...

Hi, thanks for your comments. I have broke the rear sway bar a year ago and I have removed it. No noticeable effects with the bar out. Please upload your pics !!

Hi, no problem with that but so far I could not know which brand/model is. Thanks!! now waiting for the new tires... im going on 32's

Thanks for your comments! And for your patience ... other pics from the weekend :-)

Brake lines install Front Brake line detail And the new one on the rear: Whell that’s all for now…have a nice beer, relax and enjoy your new lifted pathy : - ) And a last pic from the weekend...testing the lift

7.- Loosen subframe bolts and move it down +- 5” just to put lifting blocks. First bot the upperside then the lower one to the subframe. Some specs.. Engine mount spacers blocks: Front subframe blocks: And rear subframe blocks 8.- Finally you lift the subframe, tighten bolts, mount CV’s, struts and whells. Final torque with wheels on the ground. 9.- Have a beer and admire your front lifted!!!! OK, now to the rear: First of all, release the panhard support that is on the driver side and remove both shocks. Then lift the rear (blocking the front wheels) and remove original coils. For replacement coils I have used WJ coil that as an internal diameter almost identical to the one that pathy uses. As you see in the pic, the Wj coil has two “pig tails” You shound cut ONE of them( the one that goes to the upper support) the other one will sit on the adaptor. Coil comparisson: To munt the adaptor you have to drill and to enlarge the original hole on the lower support: This is the adaptor where the coil will be mounted: After you mount the coils, You can install a panhard drop. There is need to make a new hole. I have a problem with the krfabs adaptor because the holes were not lined up and I ended cutting a piece of the panhard support of the truck. And finally the panhard drop installed.

Then you mount every mcpherson, put spacers blocks on and the two towers will wait to be installed at the end of the process.….just a pic to show how this will be at the end. Now, from my point of view, come the most complicated and more time consuming part of the job: to install the blocks on the subframe. My 9 steps recipe is: 1.- Take the CV’s out. With the CV’s out I changed the 4 bellows (?) In Chile you can do that for about usd60. I think that you can work much better with them out. 2.- Drop front differential. You can use some straps to hold it and not to put it on the floor… Well finally with that you can reach motor mounts. 3.- Loose motor mounts , just loose them. Location and torque specs: 4.- Lock the engine to keep it posicion relative to the unibody fixed. I have used a pair of hidraulic jacks. 5.- Unplug the steerig wheel conection to the rack and the pressure senso. This is the joint and the replacement part: Be careful and do not let the steering wheel move because you can loose the alignement ant maybe Airbag/abs “coordination”. 6.-You have to loose the steering hose in two places: That is the adaptor that I have made to keep the hose from moving around. That is the beta version, the final product is painted antirust black The other one I have no pics but is on the passenger side.

Dear All Nissan people I’am introducing this project with my R50 Pathfinder 2002 3.5 MT. Everything started with the idea to have a family rig to go out, camping and have fun. What has been done so far: Front : 4” Lift with Subframe drop and cardanic joint to replace steering extension. Rear: 4” lift. I have used rear WJ coils with 4,5” lift, mounted with adaptors. This setup provide a little “rake” in the back (+- 1”), but I am waiting to the suspension to set down before to cut a little more of the coil to level the truck. Installed Procomp struts and a panhard drop. Brake Lines: New brake lines are required for safety in the front (2) and necessarily in the back (1). Since I was changing lines, I changed brake and clutch fluid too. Differentials Breathers: You need to change both breather hoses with larger ones. Diameter of front and rear are not the same… just if you want to be purist. Tires: I’m running my old tires right now 255/70/R16 (30x10), and I’am debating If to put 285/75/R16 ( 33 x 11,5) or 265/75/R16(32x10.5)… last weekend I go wheeling and I think I made my mind to go with 32”. Wheels: Original wheels mounted with 1,5” spacers Front Lift In first place you need 4 blocks to lift subframe, 2 blocks for the engine, and 2 mcpherson spacers. Front subframe and motor Rear subframe blocks: And two spacers for the McPhersons All the credit for the drawings and the idea can be found in this thread: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=23821&st=0 I bought my setup from krfabs.com (blocks, brake lines,panhard drop, spring adapters) Let’s begin with the installation (Everything was done at home with manual tools) and get to work: First of all hand brake, raise the front, put some jacks stands in the support points and reassure that all is well secured. Remove wheels and front suspension. Jack points for Pathfinder: With jacks.. Removing fron struts, careful with brake lines and abs connector Well, with front suspension out I have changed some parts:

Looking Good, Any news on that bumper?

Well, not today but the last month I have been a little busy :-) Installed 4" SFD (krfab kit + brake lines (f&r) + WJ springs + rear shocks + panhard drop) Replaced both side TREs Replaced both strut mounts & bearings Replaced struts boots Lubbed CV,s and changed al 4 cv boots. Replaced Brake Fluid Replaced Clutch Fluid Installed K&N FIPK Hardwired GPS Hardwired VHF Handy Hardwired and installed a TPMS.. It's pending to install tire valves while I decide if I change tires or not. Changed HVAC and glove compartment bulbs ....and that's all folks !!

Definitely these two trucks have become my inspiration!! I have already ordered the 4" SFD kit....just waiting they arrive to Chile.

:thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: Looks incredible!!!..

Great place to spend a couple of days.. any more photos? Rgds

Hello All, I have searched but I can not find an answer . How much trimming is required to fit 285/75/16 tires with the 4" SFD? I already have an 2,5" strut spacer with 255/70 and I had to trim a little in the front to fit them. So I think that with the 4" lift the center of the tire will be lower enough (respect to inner part of the front bumper)to clear maybe with a little aditional triming¿¿?? Thanks

Thanks!, Added to my never ending to do list!
