I pulled 5500lb cargo trailer from Arizona to Alaska with the standard hitch. Definitely a couple white knuckle moments. I'll get the WDH if I did it again.

yeah, the 4wd in my 2005 always works like this, kind of a pain when you want to switch it off on the highway to get some better mpg. Well, if the dealer figures out any way to make it better, let us know!

yeah, same thing happened to me on the two rear most tie down spots. That metal they used is crap. I'm thinking of just replacing the shiny metal part with a stainless D-ring if I can find one the right size. Could also try bending a stainless bar into a rectangle of the proper size. The whole contr...

condensation?

Hi, I've noticed some strange water dripping from the roof where the sun visors attach. It's pretty annoying, as it drips right on my face while driving. I'm wondering if this is just condensation (sun roof also feels damp) or if maybe my windshield is leaking (it has been replaced a couple years ba...

testing the limits of the pathy

howdy...thought you would all like to hear a pathfinder success story. Just drove from Tucson AZ to Anchorage AK last week towing a 6000lbs cargo trailer, and the pathy made it without a hickup. Have a 2005 V6 pathy with 35k miles. Have the air bags on the rear springs. Picked up some snow tires in ...

If you have an alarm installed it might be overriding the factory behavior.

Mine started doing it last year around this time and the deal replaced them under warranty. If you're out of warranty, buy the lift supports online at Courtesy Parts or enissanparts...I haven't looked but I can't imagine that they're difficult to install. Thanks, I'll try that route. FYI, ordered t...

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Unfortunately, my warranty expired a few months back, so I'm on my own with this one. And it's definitely not bad enough the pay the dealer to fix it.

new tailgate springs?

I've noticed that my tailgate is getting sort of...droopy...lately. Does anyone know the best place to get some replacements for stock shock/springs? Be nice to get some that are a little more powerful...like jump out of the way when you open the door. :D

Just put a set of the rocky road sliders on this morning. Highly recommended! They are so much better than that plastic crap that came with the path. Thanks for putting up these instructions...it's always nice to know how it should look before drilling a bunch of holes in the frame. One thing I woul...
