GrnMchn Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 (edited) Lol, now im fighting an air bag problem. This didnt happen yesterday, but when i came home last night i disconnected my battery over night, then go and start it today and the air bag light is blinking. wtf.. On tacomas the air bag sensor is a thin wire that runns down the steering shaft and if you turn the steering wheel while the shaft isn't connected to the rack it can break. I found this out when I did a SAS on my taco, not fun. Might be the same style? The lift looks sick, your ride looks how a pathfinder should Edited May 14, 2007 by GrnMchn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Yeah the airbag problem was totally unrelated, I was aware of the steering wheel spiral cable thats why i tied the steering wheel to the bottom of the seat so it wouldnt move while it was disconnected. All I did was put the airbag computer into diagnostics mode and let it spit out codes then i took the key out, now it works like it should again.

nissandoms47 Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Haha yeah, I need to fix the strut angle tho and make spacers for the rear. I bought some used 33" MT/Rs with 60% tread for $200 so it should be pretty cool when its done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Looks good It may be the angle of a couple of your pics, but it looks to me like if you stuff the rear tires you'll make a mess out of the surrounding sheet metal, especially in front of the tires....... Time to get the sawzall out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 The rear isnt leveled out. Its about 2 inches lower then the front. I just havent had time to build those spacers yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmorgan4 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Look in the classifieds...there are currently 2 kits for sale. thats exactly how i want my pathy to look, how did you go about doing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 There is a method to turn your air bag light off.... It involves turning the key to ON and pressing the door switch a certain amount of times in like 10 seconds, i forgot what exactly but I found the procedure online with some research, I posted about it on AC years ago. Beats the dealer, who wanted $200 to turn the light off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 Yes I know, I found that in the FSM. But somehow the computer thinks i broke the spiral cable, but yet the horn and cruise still works, very weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPLORx4 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 Here's a photo of a somewhat mild Japanese "MudJayson" Kaioh lift. Looks like only about 3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmorgan4 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 (edited) That is another option for the steering for the shorter lifts. I do remember that Keith mentioned that "spacer" in the steering WON'T work on the 4.5" lifts since the angle would be too steep. I can definitely make a 3" lift with one of those steering extensions. I REALLY like the design of those blocks too, but they wont' be easy or cost effective to make. People are complaining about price already so I'm trying to avoid making it more expensive. Edited June 3, 2007 by tmorgan4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 It would be stronger IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
