You need to put it through a specific driving pattern. Those short drives and cool downs don't do anything for it. See page EC-40 and EC-41 in the 97 FSM: http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/Pathfinder/1997_Pathfinder/ec.pdf The driving pattern is described on the bottom portion of the chart on EC-40: Start...

No sweat. Of course, I'm leaving out the small details like draining the diff, bleeding brakes, etc., so don't forget to factor those in. I also needed a mallet/dead-blow hammer for tapping the backing plates to get the axles out, but didn't require a whole lot of effort. Also, may want to consider ...

I didn't see anyone mention the obvious, but gears and lockers are the best traction improvements you can do. With an open diff, as soon as one tire to lose traction, you're stuck. And when that happens, your vehicle then asks one tire on the other axle to do all the work...with a very high probabil...

Your shocks are worn. They are meant to control suspension movement, not load; if you're bottoming out, the shocks aren't doing their job. May also want to see how your bump stops are holding up; chances are that the lower 'bump' on them has torn off. Excessive wiggle from the rear is usually a sign...
