JazonD Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Howdy all, my name is Jason and I am a recent pathfinder convert. Wait, this isn’t one of those meetings.... Anyway, just bought my 1st four wheel drive vehicle and I feel like an idiot. I am used to tinkering with my past vehicles that were simple front or rear wheel drive; this is madness I tell you. I am crawling around under this thing for hours identifying parts and widgets I haven’t seen before. Now I understand how 4 wheel drive works, but I guess this is the first solid rear axle that I have stared at in detail before. I don’t remember all these parts on my 2 wheel drive pickup. But to the meat and potatoes of the post... I found what I thought was a steal, a 2001 LE with 58XXX miles on it that appeared almost new with slight caveats. It had a brush guard with the spot lights on it, a skid plate like I have never seen before - the dang things goes all the way under the back seats, Rancho suspension at all for corners (the back are the 9000x series)and it looks like a slight lift. The tires look about 1 size taller and wider than stock. There is Flomaster exhaust out the back, possibly upgraded calipers with slotted and drilled rotors upfront. K&N cold air under the hood, and I would be willing to eat off of most of the engine bay and a Warn locking hub set. That is all I can think of at the moment as far as add-ons, but it gets better – the interior looks amazing. I think the prior owner was more anal about this stuff than I am. All of the stock parts were in the back of the truck as well! Maybe the prior owner is on this board? Anyone sell a Black and Tan spotless LE in St Louis recently? Any other St Louis owners on the board? But all good stories must come to an end... After driving it for several days - I have what I have now found is the dreaded SES light. It was for O2 Sensors... As well as a clunking in the backend, it clearly comes from the left and right side depending on the pot hole. I am starting to wonder if the springs that were replaced are topping out the Rancho shocks installed and that is causing the "Clunk". Anyway, I have alot of reading to do on this forum...
