hey guys, I had HID's on my r51 w/ minimal glare. The factory lenses actually fared pretty well and I would recommend it to anyone that can do w/o your highbeams. the high/low set is not worth it for the extra 400...use that for a set of hella 4000's on the rack imho. I have a set of HID mccullochs ...

ATRAC is alot more aggressive than ABLS, which doesn't allow much wheelspin before interacting and comes w/ on/off switch for powering up hills. On this specific mound the FJ w/540 RTI ATRAC on climbed w/minimal wheelspin and locked rear had zero spin http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d28/krnnerdboy...

Hey guys.... I did sell the pathfinder to carmax...great resale value by the way! Update on the dealer they noted that it was impact related but would not show the place of impact. they said the cracked diffs uneven resting position was reason enough, but that was caused by the axles pulling opposit...

the dealer quoted 2500 to repair the front diff w/ their discount
~1200 for the diff
~550 for each axle
~about 5 hrs of labor at 80/hr

it's a negative...the factory rep came in and observed it for 5 min and left. seeing that the case was cracked in half he said it was an impact, but little does he know that it cracked on the freeway on my way to the dealer. oh well ...I'm selling the pathfinder tomorrow morning and I will still hav...

if I trade in it won't be to wheel it, believe me...I have my tacoma for it...I'm aware of the situation I was in was causing stress on the drivetrain, spin/grab, but remember the half throttle in the pathfinder doesn't equate to tire smoking wheels spin...you have the ABLS and VDC that can not be f...

BTW...the most amazing thing was that it made it up on 2 wheels and that I had no problem opening and closing the door at that angle....shows how rigid the chassis really is ..try that in a unibody or even in my tacoma and the door wouldn't shut right. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d28/krnnerdbo...

the car was in 4 low and the pedal was about half way down and the tires were spinning and ABLS did their thing to make it up the hill, but I guess the brakes had enough torque to cause stress to the front diff...the axles are fine but the diff exploded from the inside out (the lift should only affe...
