A wheel in the air with an LSD makes the LSD just about pointless. You can trick it a little with some left foot braking but for real traction you would need a locker.

I just got a 1.5 Tomei for my 350z
Please test fit it on your R51, if you have a V6. It would be great to know if these work. |

There aren't a ton of options if you look for Pathfinder but you could look for Navarra front recovery points if you want something else. DiBo has some nice looking custom ones that should be relative ... |

The body lines for the rear are very different. The bolt holes may align, not sure, but the body lines will be way off. There are very few, if any, mass produced rear "offroad bumpers" for t ... |

Not sketchy at all with the floor jack. Frame was on jack stands and it compressed easily.
I don't know how to deal with that bushing. |

1 - I didn't remove the end links, but I did unbolt the swaybar from the frame. My end links were rusted on so this seemed like a reasonable solution.
2 - I used a floor jack and a ratchet strap. T ... |

Nice.
Any other specifics on the G35/37 or just open diff with 3.69 gears? |

It also only applies if you have less than 120k or repaired your vehicle with less than 120k miles. Apparently somewhere in all these documents Nissan argued that their engines are only meant to last ... |

Camped at about 700' and the summit of Ellinor is 5951' but I had driven to somewhere around 3000' before I started climbing.
Washington is great because I live just above sea level but have the Ol ... |

Remove the front driveshaft?
Everything inside the transfer case is mechanical so I would think the only way to accomplish a RWD Low would be to remove the front driveshaft. |

Either the ARB or the ... |
