    How long did this take you all in? My buddy asked me to help him do his as well as his exhaust manifolds. He thinks he can do it in a Saturday after noon finishing Sunday morning.

    01 R50 Cabin Hissing and Brakes?

    I get in my Pathfinder this morning only to find that when I apply my brakes and its in park I get a very prominent click from the shifter but once it's out of park it goes away and its only when I apply the brakes and its associated with an air hissing sound in the cabin that goes away when I...

    01 R50 w/ cold air blowing instead of heat help. Screechy belts @ startup

    I was leaking some coolant but that's because the previous owner "topped off" fluids before I took delivery and I think he gave it too much. I've checked it cold and there's about an inch from the cap

    01 R50 w/ cold air blowing instead of heat help. Screechy belts @ startup

    So just today my super clean 2001 R50 with 126k started to blow cold air instead of heat. I noticed that on start up for the past month when cold I'd get a brief belt screech and after a few seconds itd go away. There would also be some cold ish days so I'd turn on the heat and it'd sound like a...

    New R50 Pathfinder Part 2 with Pics. Donkey

    I took it to a very trustworthy shop and talked man to man about it off the record and the owner of the shop broke it down and said there's no structural damage worth noting and that while it looks significant it's not compromised and basically said it'd a waste of money to replace. He said he'd...

    I don't even pay attention. Gas is $2 something a gallon and you have to run super with the vq35de. If money is tight enough that fuel economy is a concern I wouldn't bother with one

    New R50 Pathfinder Part 2 with Pics. Donkey

    So after an estimate it's going to be $1800.00 to replace the subframe up front. The previous owner is sending me a check for $1,000 of it though. In other news after having these Khumo Road Venture AT51s on for a few days I just can't shake the regret feeling of not getting what I truly...

    How serious is this damage? R50 Pathfinder

    That looks like the whole front end basically needs to be taken apart. In MA there is a lemon law that states if you have to spend 10 percent of what you paid for the vehicle they need to buy it back. This guy was good to me but I don't think something this serious should be left unpaid for. Do...

    How serious is this damage? R50 Pathfinder

    There aren't any leaks or anything. I contacted the seller and he said he slid into a snowbank and had to get winched out 2 years ago. Nothing seems to be damaged besides that part.

    How serious is this damage? R50 Pathfinder

    The front tires were super worn on the inside hence the replacement. They aligned it yesterday after the new tires and it rides fine, straight too but if this is a serious issue than I need to re evaluate. If it's as simple as bolting a new crossmember in whatever. I don't think the crossmember...

    How serious is this damage? R50 Pathfinder

    So I took off the plastic shield to get to my oil filter on my recently bought pathfinder and found this. It looks like someone slid into a rock or something. How serious is this?

    New R50 Pathfinder Part 2 with Pics. Donkey

    SURPRISE! Decided to do an oil change today on my day off and after I pull down that stupid plastic shield I find that it looks like dude hit or slid into a rock. From driving it at any speed I would have had no idea unless I saw it. Hopefully this isn't a huge deal.

    New R50 Pathfinder Part 2 with Pics. Donkey

    If you look at the tread you wouldn't think they were very capable but there has to be something behind it. The more and more I see off road rigs in other countries the more I notice their tires aren't mud terrains or some super aggressive tread pattern all terrain. I figured Khumo was a good...

    New R50 Pathfinder Part 2 with Pics. Donkey

    So I went off the grid and ended up with a completely different tire because of cost and just wanting to try something new. I just wasn't feeling spending $1,000 on tires for a mild build especially considering the tires wouldn't be that much better if at all. I went with Khumo Road Venture...
