norcaljoe Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 First off let me apologize if this has already been covered somewhere else. I just recently installed a 3" body lift from Performance Accessory's and there's these 2 pieces of rectantgular tubing that came with the kit that I have no clue where they go. Wow that was a run on sentence. Anyways has anybody seen these things or know where they go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcaljoe Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 Almost forgot. It's an 88 standard tranny. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrimGreg Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Looks like the drop bracket for the saftey hoop around the driveshaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcaljoe Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=4770&view=findpost&p=39648 You know I pondered that for a little while but I dropped the idea when i didn't find any hardware to go with it. Maybe they just forgot to put it in the kit. Is the safety loop a necessary piece? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcaljoe Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 (edited) Wow I did that wrong. I was trying to quote GrimGregs' response. Sorry for the newbie mistakes Edited May 18, 2005 by norcaljoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Those are for the safety loop, yep. I just took mine off, period. I don't think it'll matter all that much in the case of a very slightly modified Pathfinder with a stock engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they just forgot to put it in the kit. Is the safety loop a necessary piece? The only hardware for it was a nut and bolt. You use the stock nut through the top into the bottom of the body, then the new bolt through the bottom and the saftey hoop. The reason I left mine in is it helps support the center of the body where the front seats are mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norcaljoe Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 Good point about the extra support GrimGreg, I think i'll go ahead and put it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treywurst Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Yep for the safety strap...I just left mine off...I figured if the safety strap is the last thing holding the body on in an accident I am pretty much screwed anyway...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earth1 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I just took mine off 2 weeks ago, it had been binding and making some annoying sounds and popping since the body lift. Sounds and feels like normal again. If the driveshaft were to fall off, well, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Another solution to the "poping" or creeks it makes is to put a piece of garden hose over the loop where it runs through the crossmember. The hose stops them from rubbing and being noisey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
