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 relatively simple with access to the necessary tools.

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 the R51. A few people on the site have custom jobs.

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. The ratchet strap gave me some ability to move the control arm front to back for alignment while I used ...

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 to 120k. I called the lawyers to get a check because I live in Washington. I have 121k on my Pathfin...

Tall and skinny are likely to work. If you having a 16" rim I wouldn't hesitate to put the 255/85 (33x10) on a stock height Pathfinder.

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 Olympics to the West and the Cascades to the East with several prominent volcanoes begging to be climbed.

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.

Can't wait to see it! I think with the regear you will alleviate any engine issues. Not regearing would require the higher engine rpms that would likely increase engine wear. Either the ARB or the Lokka would replace the spider gears that are the weak point in our R180. For more than the Lokka but l...
