lerch641 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Wedge eh, hmm, I guess that's for the 1999.5+. Today I replaced my taillight bulbs to LED sets (1156 for the reverse and signal, and 1157 for the stop). Then I picked up a different set of flood lights and hooked them up on my bumper into the fog light wires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gv280z Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Finally installed a set of Monroe Sensa Trac shocks on the front end and threw away those horrible KYB Gas A Just shocks! Much better, no more float! Now I've got a full set front and rear of Sensa Tracs, I'm happy with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nefarious Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The girlfriend has bronco 2 sensatracs up front and they ride really nice after a torsion crank and low pro bump stops! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The sensa tracs are okay but I find them too soft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 swapped marker lights, corner lights and a headlight with a neighbor who was trashing his pathy. The corners are chrome instead of black but it kinda looks interesting (until I paint them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO_pathfinder Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) Did my timing belt today Tightened and replaced belts, no more squeaky Changed oil too, and when I was re-adding oil I was like "wow pathy, you're hungry for oil today!" Then I realized that I was holding the oil drain plug in my left hand.... Dumped 5 whole quarts of Castrol Edge into the oil collector pan Lastly, heard some misfires come back, but they were present before swapping the timing belt, so I know that I didn't screw it up... now to find WHICH cylinder is misfiring and WHY Edit: Much thanks to WD21colorado (Adam) for his Snap-On tool set and for helping me with the whole process Heres a time-lapse video of the the timing belt process Edited November 3, 2014 by RedPath88 Merged Posts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gv280z Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 The sensa tracs are okay but I find them too soft. Soooo what did you upgrade to? If you say Rancho 5000 I'll be really confused because I keep hearing that they are softer than gas pressurized shocks...however I am starting to think more about oil filled shocks instead of gas....I may be due to try a set in a year or so...

RedPath88 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Did my timing belt today Did you do it EXACTLY by the Book/HowTo (specifically, the tension) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CO_pathfinder Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Did you do it EXACTLY by the Book/HowTo (specifically, the tension) Of course Red Followed How-To and FSM to the letter. You should have seen how loose the old one was .... it was so loose that it could touch the timing belt cover!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gv280z Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I do have the ranchos...They're not soft at all.Ok, so how is the ride, harsh, or just a little on the stiff side but not unruly...? Ok for a family run-a-bout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nissanland Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I run the rancho 5000 and the ride is great, just a little bit stiff but it isn't harsh at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gv280z Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I run the rancho 5000 and the ride is great, just a little bit stiff but it isn't harsh at all.My last set of kyb I had in the rear were jittery, I thought at first I liked how firm they were, but then the more I drove with them I started getting all this nervous jitter and I finally couldn't take it had to get rid of them. Those Ranchos aren't too jittery are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just middle of the road really. I have used them on full size trucks and the pathfinder. I think the rancho work better on the pathfinder.

gv280z Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Wow, they sound like the perfect shock, how is it that so many people have vastly different experiences with them? I want to try a set now I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
