I sheered off a rear sway bar mount on the frame that day prior to that picture. After seeing the kind of flex it was capable of I removed it completely when I got back to the shop. We went back there today and had a lot of fun. More pictures to come.

I need info on putting a VG30DE in my Pathy

I am looking for anyone on this forum that has swapped a VG30DE into their WD21. I have a customer in my shop that is having us put a VG30DETT in his VG30DE 300zx and he has offered me his VG30DE+wireharness+ECU for $200. I would like to stick in my Pathy. I have read that the bellhousing will bolt...

I am not a fan of ABS but it was also because when I ran new lines I wanted to keep the system as simple and direct as possible. Side Note: If you are going to replace your brake lines use the copper nickel allow line. It will not rust out and it will bend in tight bends by hand. Great stuff.

I checked the brake lines for proportioning valves and didn't find anything other than the ABS for the rear wheels which I bypassed when installing new lines. The piston in a caliper requires more fluid than a wheel cylinder so the drum brake master cylinder will not flow enough fluid.

I bought the rear axle off a rear disc brake Pathfinder and it was a simple swap. Once you unbolt the axle shafts from the axle housing everything you need swaps over as one unit (the caliper, caliper hanger, etc.) However, the one thing I did not get was the master cylinder for four wheel disc brak...

I run a 32/11.50/15 on my stock steel wheels. They are a bit wide for the wheel but they work just fine. To compensate for that I got some aluminum 1" wheel spacers which helped out. As far as a lift I just cranked my torsion bars up a bit and installed an airbag-assist shocks in the rear and g...

Its fixed! Now first of all, I don't recommend this for anyone to try..but here it goes. This past Saturday I went trail riding with some buddies and I tried to hit this swampy mud hole. Unfortunately, it was too deep and soggy and I got stuck and the engine just crapped out on me and turning the ke...

Electrical Issues

As of recent a few things have started occurring with my Pathfinder. I am hoping someone may have had a similar issue and that a common ground may be at fault. Here is whats going on: - Speedometer randomly stops working - Cruise control stopped working (would still work if the speedo stopped) - The...

Gabriel Hi-Jacker Air Assist Shocks

I installed some Gabriel Hi-Jacker air shocks (they have airbags in them). All you have to do is run air lines and mount the valve where you want it. I put my valve in the removable cover behind the passenger side tail lights. The nice thing about these is they are under $60 for a pair at Autozone, ...

It will certainly affect the way the vehicle handles during on road driving. It should help you get a bit more articulation during offroading. I was thinking of doing the same but I currently use my Pfinder as a daily driver so I have not attempted taking off the sway bar yet. Your best bet would be...

Converting a `95 Pathfinder to rear disc brakes?

I have a 1995 Pathfinder which I have converted mostly to a trail rig. It has rear drum brakes and when I go offroading and submerge the rear brakes in mud or water the self adjusters usually back all the way out so that I have no e-brake and the brake pedal gets really soft because only my front br...
