You mean the lights on the front bumper (they're IPF 968s with DDM tuning HID kit)? If so, it's pretty simple- I just drilled through the bumper cover in front of the radiator grill. Under the plastic bumper cover there's a metal (C-channel) bumper. Once the holes are drilled you just mount the...

Sorry about the late reply- for some reason I didn't get notified via the subscription...not the first time either. Stubbs, hard to say but that sounds too soon for poly bushings. Did you replace all of them last time or just the lower or upper control arms only? Edit: Oh about the Balloon...

Yeah surprised me too. So far I haven't heard any squeaking but with time they may...as long as it doesn't sound as bad as a balloon being gnawed at by a 1yr old I'm ok with it. My front control arm poly bushings have been in there for a good while and so far so good.

As always awesome photography and enjoyed reading about the Moose encounter :)

Yeah those are 265/75/16s with 1.25" wheel spacers all around and he has a 2" suspension lift. OME HD front/OME MD rear (1.75" lift) drives better than the AC 2" lift and will allow you to run 265/75/16s just the same but I'd do some research on NPORA, there's a sticky at the top there all about...

Good stuff man! I bet the 33s look great, can't wait to see some updated pics.

So I finally found the weird suspension issue...it turned out to be the early stages of the infamous death sway. The reason I didn't suspect it was because I had just (seems like yesterday) replaced all the rear trailing arms but yeah cheap Dorman bushings gave up the ghost in 20k or so miles...

x2...gorgeous foliage, and good to see the Xterra keeps on truck'n.

Welcome back! Biggest tire size without rubbing on stock wheels is 245/75/16 and IMHO a great balanced choice for the truck overall unless you're planning to do difficult trails etc.

OK mph, you have to tell me your secret...how do you find the time (and energy) to get out there what seems like every couple of weeks? :)

Thanks man. Well I just checked by putting a socket wrench on them and I couldn't budge them any tighter so I don't think they're the culprit afterall... the struts seems to be ok, the bolts are all tight.

You may be on to something there Lecoq! As I said it does seem the right front tire seems to shift inward when the weight transfers to it (lifting off the gas). I did change both ball-joints some time ago may be those bolts have worked themselves loose? I did a quick visual but didn't see...

Sounds good...will post in the CA section if I plan to head out there again (with advanced notice). A quick weekend project to see why I'm getting the weird handling issue: 1. Motor mounts - check, didn't see any movement 2. Install KR fab panhard drop bracket - with almost a 3" lift I figured...

I know what you mean brother. So the trail is called Holy Jim, you can access it a couple of ways but it's off Trabuco Canyon Rd from where you turn on to Trabuco Creek Rd, pass the small RC plane airport on the right and then a little further up on your left is the entrance. I think this is the...

Yes, the front locker should definitely help as will 35" tires in this case but be careful man- the angles you're dealing with are pretty steep on a narrow shelf road. I personally would use a winch to anchor the truck though I'm not even sure if there are good anchor points there. When are you...

So after some ways up we get to the "problem section". Again, I'm thoroughly impressed that the stock pathfinder even made it up this far, honestly I even had to hit the locker switch once along the way (lazy to try a different line I suppose but still). So here's the truck the bottom of the...

An impromptu wheeling trip. My neighbor recently picked up a 2003 Pathfinder after watching mine over the past 3 years (this build thread is 3 years old now, time flies!). He's been going up to the Holy Jim trail which is about 15mins from the house. The main Holy Jim trail is basically a...

Wow what an awesome trip, the MT scenery reminds me of the CO scenery from my last trip but even more rich and vibrant. Can't wait to see more.

x2. The company here is a bad influence!

Wow that's one clean looking WD21. I'd say go drive it, and also drive a R50 Pathfinder and then decide. If I were building a super capable offroad truck in the Nissan lineup (in the USA) it would be the WD21. If I were buying a do-it-all truck I'd get the 3.5L R50 Pathfinder if the budget...
