LOL, k9, post when you have them installed with picts... Before and after is best. Congrats, I'm sure you'll be happy with it all. B

I highly recommend bolt on spacers/stand off blocks. Again, let me know if you want my input... B

DOH !! Thats cold, but at this point, has to be done... B

Sorry TrailChaser, I wasn't knocking it. Free is good ! I was just comming from weight and workability stand point, thats all. Yeah, the PE can cost, but not that much... Get in touch with me if you want some tips on forming it. You can actually make it fit and not look like you ziptied a restaurant cutting board to your tranny... B

For Roofies ? Don't need any, but thanks for the offer... Hey Drifter, I'm assuming you have an R50 ? Seems like CV shields wouldn't be that hard to make, but mounting may be another story. I don't know your front end... B

That should protect anything it covers !! Next time try UHMW PE, it works quite well... B

Dont forget a good set of tweezers for picking the bird shot out of your butt... B

DOH !!! *BUSTED* B

Ok, lets be adults on BOTH sides of things here... Nothing wrong with asking and nothing wrong with someone suggesting searching; then there are plenty of people who will chime in with info or ride the search band wagon. Either way, did you search ? Mute point... I see a LOT of similiar questions. So many that I have a web folder of links specifically devoted to NPORA so when someone asks about T-bars, ECU diagnostics and whatever else I just pop in the approptiate link and go on my way. I won't even go into all the times I have done searches to find info for people. I am a volunteer... My efforts are purely in the interest of helping, therefore... ...a statement like that quite frankly OFFENDS ME !! You act like you have never received good information as a result of a query ? Sure, there are some wisenheimers, but they also have a valid point. Maybe once you respect the time and effort others take on your behalf, others will respect your desire to learn. Regardless, it all starts with you. Thanks for the credit where credit is due... Yes sw, I agree, the search function leaves much to be desired, but with some practice it can be managable. As for forum Nazi's, no that doesn't help. Thats supposed to be the MOD's job... Seriously though, I agree. If I don't have much to say (other than a joke) I'll likely not post at all. B

Pretty much what they have already said. I remember someone planning to drill out hockey pucks and stack them for a super ghetto lift, but I highly DON'T recommend that !! B

Wow, good read, but nothing earthshattering... Drive mellow and slower and you will save gas No brainer to me. Exactly !! I rarely get a chance to use CC The best way to increase gas milage is ride a motorcycle, or walk out to your driveway, wind up and throw the Pathy ignition key as far as you can with your eyes closed, then walk back inside the house... B

Pissy ? I haven't seen pissy... Who's pissy ? You WANT to see pissy ?? B

Well, I went for the $1-3k option for now. Interesting though how much I have saved doing all my own work, otherwise it would be in the $3-5k range by now... B

Sheesh man, relax !! Theres nothing wrong with asking questions and there is nothing wrong with people recommending searching... It's a useful tool and why should an entire thread be retyped when it can just be referenced ? Besides, you often run across interesting related information that gives you ideas for a different project. Customizing your truck has much to do with your need, desire AND imagination. Seems to me that people have been quite helpful, do they need to come over and wire it up for you too ? That, by the way, was a sarcastic jibe meant as humor, so no need to get upset... B

I hope it was at least imported or microbrew beer !! B

Nice K9 !!! B

Sorry, my manual only goes to 95... Call a local autoparts store, they'll tell you in 2 minutes... B

No spiders ? B

Nice 88... Me thinks to let this sit for a few days, then sticky it in the How To section, it should be VERY useful for many people... B

Cool, nice pathy !! Too bad it's an autotragic though... Thats costing you a mpg or 2. B

Yes, the connector is a common issue as k9sar said. Sounds like you have a good mechanic... Cleaning it can't hurt, although I douby that is your issue. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5194 B

As said before, you need to clean to get a good idea. What ever it is, it needs fixing. Don't listen to this person. Only an asshat is ok with their car leaking oils, and they obviously don't ride motorcycles... B

Yes Sir, they are all right... On my 95 it was about $300 for cat back, 2 1/4" stainless, Magnaflow muffler and a chrome tip exhaust. Thats in Cali, so I can't see SC being more expensive. B

From what I understand, manual hubs are desirable as they are stronger than autolocking (which some have reported engaging with a bang under load). Stronger implies you are a serious wheeler/bigger tires/engage under load. My previous Nissan truck had autolocks that gave me no trouble for 10 years, but then I wasn't racing it or using 4x4 when unnecessary. With manual lock hubs, yes, you can leave them engaged, but this is only recommended for on the trail, not driving down the freeway. Stronger or free and convenient, it's up to you. B

Haven't used them specifically, but unless they claim oem, don't assume... I have several links to good online parts places I have used. I'll post them if you want (I'll check tomorrow). Isn't there a permanent thread in the garage listing sources and vendors ? OK, had to look... Does this help ? http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=5343 B
