Not in the rear, the rear wheels will have the stock bs and since the rear flexes more it can tuck more easily vs a higher offset wheel. There is no need for an offsset wheel in the back. Up front is where the issue is, with the struts and yes up front will be about the same as the offset wheels, but that doesnt matter much because the front doesnt flex for sh!t

Well, here is the issue with your setup- you had a rediculous amount of offset on your wheels, like 3.2 or whatever, By using the stock wheels, they can tuck in the back, and up front, the backspace will be about the same as your wheels were with the spacer. But the front doesnt flex anyways so there is no problem there.

Yuppers, I ordered the spacers, only 80 bucks shipped The plan so far is to just drive on the spare until I drive to my friends for thanksgiving, then install the spacers and get the tires mounted on my double tri stars. The sad part is that im gaining the same amount of lift just with the diff in tire size than what the actual lift gained me

Well I have had the crappiest day of my life, found out my pass front tire did this Glad I found out and switched over to the spare, a blowout is the last thing I need now. So I guess next up are some 1in. wheel spacers for the front and 33's

Haha he said he has work and school to worry about, I doubt we will get it anytime soon.

Well you dont need money for the dents And apparently the fenders had to be rolled in on the bottom a little bit, but its definately do able

Im not sure about the spacing of the steelies on the back, but Alex seemed to fit 285/75/16 muds on with just 1.5in wheel spacers in the front and the steelies in the back. The only issue he had with fitment was the door side fender being a bit of a problem. He is taking pics as I speak I believe that is what im going to be doing soon, the only concern I have is fitting that wide of a tire on my stock wheels (double tri spoke) But I guess it will have to do im tired of skidding all over the road in the rain lol. PICS

If you look right behind the headlights you can see where and just how bad his fender got damaged by the brush guard. The thing blocked brush from doing any damage.....but not a tree

Really this just hit yall? I got this done like over a year ago and I live in Texas LOL

That "bullbar" looks terrible IMO, the worst thing you can do to any vehicle is add chrome. It also looks like that thing KILLS ground clearance in the front. Im not a fan of brush guards like this, they often wind up causing more damage when you hit something, Like a friend of mine who hit a tree with the side of the brush guard and it bent inwards and screwed his fender. Just my 2cents.

Family actually ordered ours, and took delivery when it was brand new in late 2000

Thanks for the info Fleurys, at this point its terrible I have zero traction in anything wet. I have a buddy with 285/75/16 BFG AT's he will just give me, if I buy the wheels. But im wondering what offset would be best for that. I just cant wait for this stupid sfd to get here....if it ever does. And when it does it wont go on til summer when I actually have a place to install and the time to do it. I will let yall know when/if im doing this.

Hey yall, long time since I have posted up a topic on here. As some of you may know I have been waiting for my SFD to arrive for some time now, and I was planning on getting new tires when I finally installed that lift. Well its been put off wayyy to long, and my tires I have now are quickly becoming a safety issue for me. I know i want to get new tires, But I want to buy some that will still look good after the SFD goes on. So with that I was wanting to know who all has successfully mounted 33x10.5's on just the ac lift and off set wheels? I believe that GPG has. but im not for sure. I know there will be ALOT of trimming that will need to be done, but it might just wind up being worth it in the end, either that or I cant drive lol. Thanks in advance for any help.

Well I happen to like it, you should hear the 14 speaker system in my moms FX, that is truely an amazing experience. And im really not looking into dumping alot of money into this, just a few hundred at the most. Id rather just get tires lol

Sorry I cant be of any help to you, but I will most def be lookin at this thread as I was also looking into doing some kind of system soon also...the stock bose is loosin its BUMPPPP

Gunna have to disagree LOL

I'd recommend staying away from the ball joints, more things to go wrong, in my opinion. This is how I did it, just took out the literally 3 Bolts, and the control arm dropped down, then undid the bolts on the cv, with a friend holding the screwdriver in the rotor and took out the cv. Make sure you remove the snap ring first though. Here is a link to the FSM go to page 12 http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/pathfinder/2001/ax.pdf

Its actually super easy, just make sure your hubs are locked. And I also found it useful to have a friend hold a screwdriver in the slots on the side of the rotor to keep it from moving.

You got some purdy welds

Could someone sticky this plz

So I have 90k on my 01 LE. I believe that I have heard somewhere that pathys with that many miles rarely have a screw fall out. *knocks on wood* That being said I would still like to do it someday, but im really hesitant to do it myself- Im bound to screw something up....i guess the best way is to pay a shop to do it, and just ask for all the old gaskets back to make sure they actually did the job, and didnt just take the money since there is no real way to check

The only thing I associate diff drop brackets with is a lift, and idk wtf thermoplastic is LOL

So Fleurys, can you elaborate more on your idea?

Congrats on your purchase!!! Your really going to love it. As far as lifts go, yes the 2in lift struts do top out, its really bad at first doing it over everything, but it gets better over time, you just learn to slow down over speed bumps and such. And the manual locking hubs are a good idea to have, but not nessicary right away. As far as the plastic goes, I use armor all, it seems to bring back the black of the handles and steps. Post up pics of your new ride when you get it!!

Great work indeed, how big are those km2's they look big compared to the snowblower.
