vengeful

Oh...what luck! That royally sucks bro. Time for an ARB, eh?

HAHAHA...Priceless. I alternate between living in the Southeast (Virginia) and Western New York Snow Belt (Rochester). I've got Mud-Terrains on my Pathfinder, and let me tell you, they're actually very good in soft snow and somewhat packed snow. Ice is a WHOLE NOTHER STORY THOUGH...They are simply HORRIFYING, and I will occasionally go ICE RACING in my buddies 2.5RS Impreza. Each winter, I go out to a big open empty parking lot at like 1:30 AM when the first substantial snowfall hits and do donuts for like an hour to get my snow-legs. It really helps to learn how the truck acts in the snow and gives you an idea of how you should react and how you should drive. And, it's LOADs of fun.

Same...looks good!

Has anyone tried this on an R50? Are there any significant differences in the MAF between the VG30e WD21s and the VG33e R50s?

You are running WAY too much tire pressure. The recommended tire pressure for your truck is 28PSI....50PSI is the MAXIMUM air pressure the tire can safely hold. The reason you are slick in the rain is because your tires are OVER inflated and your contact patch is severely reduced. I run my Dunlops at 32F/35R (slightly more than the recommended pressure, but I also carry a lot of weight (skidplates, sliders, tools, etc) and that pressure is where the contact patch is optimal.

Several people have done air bag suspension. There are a few options in doing so, though. There is the AirLift airbag system, which will take some of the strain off the coils, and reduce sag and give you some control over ride height. Then there is the lowrider airbag system which has been done by a couple of people...InSanIuM comes to mind (98 QX4 with airbags and supercharger...haven't seen him around in a LONG time though, don't know if he still has his truck). Which type system are you interested in? If we had a little bit more information, we can give you more detailed answers.

Stabilizer Bar bushings and the links are two different animals...however, they are both fairly easy to do. The links are simply the vertical pieces that tie the bar into the "frame." The bushings are rubber bushings (duh), that surround the stabilizer bar (front) as it goes through the frame rails. To replace the links, you simply have to unscrew the top and bottom of it, it'll fall out, and screw in the new ones. To replace the bushings, there is a bracket at the front of your framerails where the stabilizer bar goes through. Unbolt it and let it hang from the hook through the framerail. Once you have both brackets unbolted, the stabilizer bar will come loose and you can peel off the bushing. Installation is simple because they are split and all you have to do is squeeze the bushing onto the bar in the same place the old one was. Then rebolt up the brackets and you're good to go.

Well... At NOAS Spring Run CC 05, I ran 2wd for almost everything except a really soupy nasty mud pit...even in the driving rain...so...They're good tires.

Dunlop Mud Rovers or Dayton Timberline M/Ts. I've got the Mud Rovers and they are EXCELLENT...I'll never buy another kind of tyre again...I only paid $130 each for them (BFGs were $170). Yes, I know I could have had them cheaper, but I got them mounted same day I ordered them. They don't have side lugs like the BFGs, but I can run in 2wd with my open diffs for most anything the truck has the clearance to make it through if it's dry out.

That's actually pretty cool...I like it.

The biggest you can fit with no lift will be a 31" tire. Might want to consider a 65 instead of a 70?

I agree, leave it the way it is, it's working fine. The garage can be used for highly technical - not necessarily year specific questions, and the individual forums can be used for not so technical year specific questions...

Waiting patiently for mine... Won't be patient next week though...moving....EEK! :eek:

Happy Birthday Diesel Boy!

How does it light up? Does it illuminate with the headlights or flash with the hazards?

That's who I used...they've very good. I got it in 3 days.

EBAY EBAY EBAY EBAY EBAY EBAY EBAY..... I got a Direct OEM replacement for $13 on ebay. Search for Nissan Pathfinder Antenna. Very easy to install, too.

What happened to all the pics you took last weekend? I've got a couple I could send ya.

No.

OHV Parks in the Northeast: Pine Barrens in NJ. - New, small, not many people go there, kinda sucks. Paragon Adventure Park in Hazleton, PA - HUGE, over 150 miles of trails - kicks ass, tons of people! Rausch Creek OffRoad Park in Joliet, PA - Smaller than PAP, but still quite large, over 2,000 acres. Fairly new, so not too much traffic. There is nothing to my knowledge in VT, NH, or ME...but there are tons of Forrest Roads that allow OHV access. Just be sure to make sure you're on one of them. NIORA is having our first annual Autumn Run October 6-9 at Rausch Creek. We'll be camping in the park (free). Daily admission to wheel at the park is $25, I believe. We already have several top tier sponsors for it, and there will be a nice raffle/giveaway, as well as awards for several categories for the weekend. If your interested, shoot me a PM here, or come on over to our website at http://www.niora4x4club.com

Since you're in New England, you may want to check out the Northeast Import Off Road Association. We're having a major event October 6-9 at Rausch Creek in Joliet, PA. Check out our website at http://www.niora4x4club.com As far as trails go, I much prefer to wheel in parks...you don't have to worry about whether what you're driving on is legal or not. Some of the fines they assess for that are pretty steep. Edit: I can't even spell my own clubs name.... :oops:

TWO!

Cameron...try the B.A. Target at 7-Corners...they usually have the more obscure stuff. I haven't been there in well over a year...might swing by on the way home...I'll let you know if they've got any. Oh, and isn't it time to change that sig pic yet?? Perhaps with something a little less....driveway.

*Tries again* *waits for test results*
