If you are seeing lots of body roll around corners try replacing your sway bar bushings. I noticed a big difference in the handling when I put in new ones. Fairly cheap too, I think around $20 in parts total.

Pulled my popup camper out of storage this weekend. Haven't set it up yet to know if I have any varmint problems. Only thing I saw was a little bird poop on the top cap, hopefully the first rain storm will clean that for me.

Plasti dipping the wheels black solved my issue with seeing the brake dust on the front wheels all the time. I am do for rear brakes soon, due to the pads being close to worn out.

My plan is to do pads and rotors. I know the parking brake is in the mix doing both, so I am looking to see if there are any special requirements for them.

Good call on replacing that hose after you found the wear on it. It looks like replacing the plugs on the V8 is way easier than the V6's, lucky you!

Schmidty: I have that same setup. I also upgraded the rear shocks to the adjustable rancho xl2000 when I had the spacers and strut installed. I had ~90k miles at the time with stock shocks so they needed to be replaced anyway.

Rear brake replacement

I am going to be replacing the rear brakes soon on my '06. Anybody have any tricks or tips from past experiences?

I agree that is a crazy thing to happen. Looks like it could have rasily resulted in much more damage. Makes me glad I went with the rancho setup. I like the adjustability option and it defiantly gets rid of the dive of the front end while braking / accelerating. I have mine set quite high at 7 in f...

I am not sure bow much more they do, but the first time I had an alignment done after my lift they didn't need to install the camber bolts to get the alignment within specs. After I had new bigger tires installed they could not get things back into tolorance and I had the cam bolts installed then.

I replaced the positive battery clamp connector a few months ago. So I am going to guess its not that. I do have the original battery in there still. Might be time to replace it?

Seeing how the battery was only on the charger for about an hour I don't think it was completely drained. I did not take a voltage reading before putting it on to charge. I do know that relay box was clicking away after the car had been shut off for at least an hour. Lights were in auto mode and all...

You have a nice looking rig RCA, your pathfinder would be my twin if you had a lift.

Update: I reinstalled the battery after getting an hour or so of charge with a voltage of 12.83V. The relay clicking problem is now gone. Still not convinced that the problem is gone forever. I am glad I got it on video and that it seems to be fixed for now. All input on what might have caused this ...

Electrical Relay Clicking without Key in car

Walking past my pathfinder in the garage today I noticed the lights flashing very fast and dim. The key was not in the ignition and the car was flipping out on its own. I put the key in the start it and the battery was already to drained to start the engine. (it is currently getting charged to see i...

I have the rancho rear spacers and original springs. Both alignments I have had done since did not have any problems getting things into specs for me. I do think it is near the end of the adjustment though.
