I understand swampers are less than fantastic on rocks, i wouldn't want to know what they do on ice.

My May 06 win was a water crossing, I was surprised it won. Oct 07 was a big stupid stuck in the mud pic.

Really now?

Overall the WD21's dominate the board, there are way more WD21 owners here, to nominate and vote for. That said, I place my votes on a few different criteria. The overall image has to be appealing to me, somewhat centered, and a nice clear image (sorry, no blurr). Then I often vote on the surroundings, the pose of the truck, the set up of the truck. It doesn't have to be a built truck for me to vote, it's about the photo to me. I have noticed that the voters here happen to like LOTS of deep mud, or retarded flex. And then sometimes, it's something entirely different. Regardless, I think muddfildvaynes was looking for support from the R50 owners, and perhaps some attention from others.

Gee, no one has ever slighted the R50. *eyeroll* It's always brewing. That is why I enjoy watching the 2 door, 4 door debate.

Congrats!

You have a choice of the AC lift (4x4parts.com) or the Old Man Enu lift coils. There are a few threads in the R50 section on the lifts. I don't know too much about the locking diff's, other than ARB makes one for the R50.

So did they help you with SFD kit pics?

Wow, one WD21 owner who didn't slam the R50 pathfinder!? Hi Yukon, Welcome to NPORA. There are a lot of differences between the R50 (1996-2004) Pathfinder and the Xterra, as some have pointed out above, but both are very good vehicles. We have a 99.5 Pathfinder, and a 2000 Xterra in our driveway. I think most would say the Xterra is better offroad, they are certainly the more popular choice, and there is quite a bit more aftermarket support for protection & upgrades. That said, I have wheeled my pathfinder with the Xterra club for 5 years now, and I am able to keep up, and in some cases piss people off because I got through in my lowrider pathy. You can easily lift an Xterra with body and suspension lifts to fit 33" tires. The pathfinder has a 2" lift kit available, which typically allows 32" tires. (of course, there are exception to the rules, and then there are custom kits that can give either truck more lift). Lifted Xterra's develop steering issues (as the older WD21 pathfinders, they wear), and you will need to upgrade & maintain steering components. As I mentioned the Xterra does have better aftermarket support for things like skidplates, sliders, bumpers,snorkels as well as lifts and other toys. That said, if you do your homework, you can also outfit the R50 pathfinder. Size wise, the R50 is larger - a bit longer & wider, which gives it more in cabin space. Although, I have slept in the back of either truck comfortably. As mentioned the Xterra is a body on frame, which gives it a more "truck like ride", where the caR50 is a unibody, which is a nicer ride on road. I would suggest you test drive both, and compare for yourself. Good luck with your search.

01silvapathy (or something like that... Sorry man) did a write up on how to fit 33" tires with the 2" lift. Generally, the lift allows for 32" tire. Up until recently, the only available lift is the 2" lift, either from AC, or the OME lift coils. There are a few guys running a custom Subframe Drop lift (SFD), which will give you some more height... check the vendor section, as there is a company there who just started to fab these. And don't kill the R50. It hurts my heart.

x2 on the relay.

Not the same part #, but I sent this one to Grim Greg a couple years ago for secret santa... http://www.autopart.com/TOOLS/TOOLSMAIN/tool/T_4170.htm

Me thinks you mean XE?

Maple syrup bottle holder, and seat belts big enough for your polar bear. It's a Canadian thing.

We use bubble gum. From the grocery store. P... ahem... and on a less hostile note, I moved this thread to the R50 section.

Wow, can I get a few more lights on that bad boy.

You're so helpful!!

Strut Tower convo has been moved to: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=28064

You're all on topic now, I have split the strut tower posts to this new thread.

x2 for fleurys' skidplate, and as a bonus, he's in Canada. Otherwise, check the classifieds here, unfortunately Black Panther has been out of commission for a few years, but his skidplates come up for sale every now & then.

Ventvisor also makes them: http://www.lundinternational.com/products/ventvisors-windows/ They have an incredible warranty program too. Simon busted one on Old Red years ago, and was able to get a new set by cutting the part # off one, and mailing it to them.

Here is Mookie's set up for his hi-lift:

LOL!! Is that placing it flatwise against the carrier? What if you attached it by the narrow side? (Like Simon had on Atari) Unless there was another poster, it was AlexRex in his R50.
