I have been thinking about the front coil spacers... waiting to see sucesses/issues from this thread: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=6362
-
i did notice that star-wheel thingy but it looked like it needed a special tool to adjust... wonder if you can buy a tool from the dealer (probably would be cheaper than having them adjust it)
-
Anyone know how to adjust the headlights on an R50? My winch and skidplates really sag down the front about an inch lower than the rear, and as a result the headlights are pointed too close. The owners manual is worthless. Thanks.

i have only seen them in chrome (like mine)... I searched really really hard on the internet for a while and found a random dealor down in texas who sold me my bull bar for $850. he didnt know what he had... to him it was just a big box taking up space in his warehouse. got lucky on that one.

i have the standard 4x4parts.com 2" lift, w KYB GR2s and Rancho 9000x and it is a much stiffer suspension than stock, and i believe those stiffer springs cut down on body roll. i live in denver and am always up and down the mountains, and as far as handling i cant really tell the difference between stock and lifted. but, like Pezzy said, you do feel the bumps more, especially when the shocks are dialed in high.
now i read somewhere that you dont need to swap out the shocks and struts when replacing the coils with those in the 4x4parts kit.... maybe that will make it a more affordable option for you?

got em too... they are much better than the stock lights imho

well, after much research, i decided not to have my changer fixed. it would cost about $200 and often the problem comes back from what i read online. instead, out of curiosity, i plugged my wife's Rio mp3 player into the cassette player with one of those tape adaptors, and it sounded pretty darn good. so i went down to the hobby shop and picked up some 1/8" thick Styrene, glue, and some sticky-back black felt and made a box to replace the CD changer. it fits pretty well and is a great place to hold an external mp3 or cd player.

Hi all, anyone have issues with their CD changer dying on them? in my 01 SE, it justs goes "click, click, click" then stops and displays "WAIT". just once it said "ERR 2" but i havent seen that message again. maybe a TSB or recall notice? I really dont want to go buy another.
-
what kit is that, Pezzy? how easy was the install and how much weight do you figure you are adding? also, do you have to remove the plates to change the oil? cheers
-
that makes sense. i did have the struts replaced when i swapped in the new coils, which are much stronger and taller than the stock coils. its probably much easier to top the struts out than when stock. thanks

my 01 with a 2" suspension lift does the same... Runnerman, do you think there is the possibiliy of cracking the stabilizer linkage over time?
-
i have the same noise going on with my 01. i "lifted" it last fall, and it just started making that noise about a month ago. it is especially loud when i turn the tires while not rolling. i think it may be more than just gaskets rubbing, but i havent taken the time to really check it out. hopefully this weekend i will get a chance to investigate it more.
also, i get a large "clunk" when i uncompress the front springs whenever i go over a pothole or something like that. it sounds really bad. for the life of me, i cant figure out what the heck that is. anyone else with that problem?

I put my order in for the 2" suspension lift from 4x4parts.com (with the Rancho RS9000X shocks and KYB GR-2 struts), and now am afraid to do the work myself. Does anyone have any experience installing this lift? A called a couple 4x4 shops, and they want $500-600 to install, and say that a full alignment is necessary also. The lift was $700... I really dont want to pay an additional $500 for installation. Can a very handy person with lots of tools do it himself? Please help! :help:

hi all, 1st post to the forum... just got an '01 PF and would like to do some mods to make it 6-7 trail worthy here in Colorado. where is the best place to get a modest (2"-3") lift for my PF so I can comfortably fit 32" tires, and who makes a decent looking brush guard that costs less than 300 bucks? i saw this (http://198.63.2.33/index.php?ITEMID=ZGSN-802) but i can hardly believe it. i think the nicest is the Waag (http://waag.com/showroom/31.php), but man it is expensive.
i gave up already on a front winch mount for my Warn M8000. well, here is another question... anyone make a front hitch mount for the 01 PF? I have my winch on a sled right now that fits into a class III receiver.
thanks for the help!
