Some of the other guys will know if the chassis are the same between the years you mentioned. If they are the same, given the right equiptment to lift the body off, the body swap will be fairly straight forward. Take the body off of the doner first. That way if you miss something it will not matter. It will be good practice.
Just make sure all your wiring loom is unplugged. The easy forget places are underneath. Fuel tank and gear box for example.

Would you mind if I used it?

no more tow strap!
Very good.
I like it!
I can't use photoshop to save my life.

Perhaps I should read your post befor I ask questions.
-
I can't understand why Nissan would make round radius arms. I have never seen one here in OZ.
Are they hollow?
-
Diesel is waxy and thickens up when it is cold, making it harder to get through the rails until everything heats up. Just a thought.... Do the TD's have a glow plug/preheating arrangement? If not, It sounds like it needs one. The symptoms you describe are exactly what happens when trying to strart a diesel cold.

there is a whole bunch on tires here actually. body lifts only raise your center of gravity and help a tad with approach and departure angles. they don't really help with clearance much.
if the search function doesn't like you just look in each specific area.. there is a boat load of info on these subjects here.
That being said, the BL, as does a SL lets you up size your tyres. Larger tyres give you more ground clearence, most importantly, lager tyres give more clrearence to biggest anchor of all on a Pathfinder.... the rear diff. A BL does raise the COG but nowhere near as much as a suspension lift. If I was to only have one lift, it would be a BL. The steering components detest a suspenion lift.

Ahh yes...for all we know, you could be pulling someone INTO that hole
Thats it! sly
I don't know why I didn't think of that one myself? pssd
-
Nice pic Vsicks -- but you should photoshop out the tow strap
Nah, you gotta take the good with the even better.
-
The new Pathy is 4WIS too isn't it?
-
Just to give you an idea... a Unimog (Portal Solid Axles) would not only crawl over the hole that a Hummer was stuck in, it would crawl over the Hummer itself.
So true. Well said.

Thanks for that 88.
-
I think my sig is too big.
-
I already have the 3 in susp lift. OOPS!
Loose the suspension lift and just keep the body lifted. That way you will give your steering components longer life expectancy.
put the suspension lift back in if and when you up size tyres. It will look a bit silly with all that lift and small tyres too.

way in the too freakin much, even with doing nearly all stuff myself. good truck tho.
I second that.

Come one guys, where is the love?
Here man.

Yeah, that's the one. I talked to him a few years ago and he had the front driveshaft made up and working. It just needed to be fabbed up when the pics were taken.
:cool2:
-
one was a 2-door Pathy. The Pathy had a 383, TH400, AtlasII, Ford 9" rear and D44 front. Money was obviously not an issue for him...
Almost anything is possible with time and money. If you just want to know if it's possible, then yes. It will fit. You gotta figure out how, though.
Are you talking about that white Pathy with the thing on the bonnet? If so, didn't you notice that the live axle has not got a drive shaft?

Hi, I'm from downunder in New Zealand. Wondering if anyone has any decent links on doing solid axle swaps on Pathfinders/ Terranos. We have a problem down here in that Dana diffs are as rare as rockinghorse sh*t down here. One would probably have to hack & slash a Toyota front beam axle or a MQ Nissan Patrol.
I am running an MQ patrol front end in mine. They are the same width as the Pathy rear and have the same gear sets. I am using GQ radius arms and spring/shock towers and bases. My diff has been rotated so that the pumkin now sits on the passenger side.
PM me if you want more info or pics.

Lets face it. Two doors rock.
-
My chassis actually has almost no rust on it. Most of what you see is grease that was applied for the winter months... I Have no holes and no bad rust sports on the whole thing.
Thanks
Jay
On, what about in?
-
I don't know about putting a new donk in but a head gasket isn't too hard to fix.
-
Eye it up and you should be pretty close to the mark. That is assuming the ground is perfet.

And the pics were just a bit of fun.

How did you get holes in your tank?
