Re: Something rolling around the back area

This might not apply - but do you have kids that might climb in the back and play? or sit in the back?

Sometimes they leave toys or something in the cupholder, or storage bins, and it rolls around as the truck moves :) Just a thought.

Re: IPDM Upgrade

Very nice!
I've been looking at the IPDM/Fuse Box myself, planning to do a small rewire to give more control over the factory fog lights.

The big terminal block atop the fuse box cover has me in awe! What do you have hooked up?

Re: Custom Projector Headlights

Those look really great! How is the angle of visibility? With halogen/LEDs, the light beam seems to be only about 30'deg each lamp or something (ie. very narrow). The website says the customer should ceramic-coat the lenses to prevent damage. Did you end up doing that? I wonder if just a lens film w...

Re: Where under the hood is the heater inlet pipe?

Weird I was messing around with the PCV a couple weekends ago, and in doing so, I ever so sightly nudged the rubber hose that connects to the supposed "inlet" to the heater hose assembly, and the fitting broke clean off. IMG_20220327_211400.jpg I went and replaced it with a full metal asse...

Re: Show it off!! Recent pics of your Pfinder, let's see 'em!

Took the rig to a local SVRA (state vehicle recreation area) where they have a 4x4 obstacle/play area. I've never off-roaded before, so I didn't go for anything too crazy, just some bumpy routes, some significant inclines, and dirt. Plus, my lift is so mediocre compared to the other jacked-up vehicl...

Re: Ultimate Lift thread

Finally decided an an upgraded suspension kit, that provided lift :) I'm trying to be modest with the term "lift", as this is a rather subtle "lift" in comparison to a lot of other folks on the forum Model year 2010 LE Lift height:1", 2", 3" etc.... Before: FD 33 7...

Re: Bilstein 4600 + Moog Springs

I have the 4600's and the Moog's The Moogs started off pretty hard but, I was pleased with the Extra ride height. Under load they perform beautifully and give a real planted feel the Pathfinder. I towed a 4600 lb Travel trailer this year and was very please with the way it handled the weight. Did y...

Re: Pics of R51 Pathy with Moog rears settled for a week

NWpath thanks! Yes from eyeballing I am guessing 2 inch also. Can’t wait to put new struts on with springs too so they are even Asking for reference and trying to gauge where I want to go with suspension; what struts and springs did you eventually go with up front to match/level with the rear Moog ...

Re: ClockSpring Adventure

I think I might need to do this for a blinking airbang light (Code 12 = LH/Driver airbag module).
Where did you source your clock spring from?

Re: 2" lift recommendations and potential UCA rubbing?

I did the subframe drop in the rear and it did not mess with the alignment at all. As for the front, I went with the 3" spacers from Supreme Suspension and had to change out the Camber bolts in the lower control arms to get it back in alignment for the front. I also learned a lot from Alger Ad...
