I'm with broncobowsher here. There are too many attributes. Dana axles and H-series Nissan axles aren't even constructed the same, so axle tube information in itself isn't a sufficient way to qualify strength. Dana axles use tubes pressed and welded into cast housings. The Nissan C200 above...

From Amazon, BUD Industries CU-3283. There are a few other options/sizes by that brand.

Bummer being in that position, but I totally get it. I don't drive mine much either...not for lack of interest, I just don't need to drive often enough (work from home, wife runs my errands during the day usually). I have an older Frontier 2wd that I rarely drive except for "truck" needs, and...

I built something similar to this for an upcoming road trip: https://roofnest.com/diy-portable-camping-battery/ Main objective is for the fridge to run overnight, and for the car to charge the battery while driving during the day. It's not much more than a battery box, battery, cheap solar...

Nissan usually puts an “Axle Code” stamp on the VIN plate under the hood on the firewall. In the US, the code has also appeared on the driver’s door jamb sticker. The H233B has an “HG4x” code designation where HG indicates the H233B axle, and 4x is ratio (somewhat). Not sure what the H260 code...

Haha, yeah he's an alright guy. (Thanks, man!) BTW, rear bumper build started last week... The CA, NV, and AZ Xterra groups are having their annual CANVAZ run in Anza Borrego 10/5-10/8. While probably not exactly cool weather-wise by then, would be great to meet up and see your iconic truck...

Hahaha, funny you mention that...I was just at the MVD (City of Surprise) for the first time in years to get my old Frontier titled and registered and the old lady at the counter flat out said she didn't know what she was doing (she at some point also called her some a retard for being afraid of...

And to be more specific, I'm more curious about vehicles <25 years old, maybe late 90's...what're the other constraints, or is it simply not possible/practical?

Thanks Haven, hadn't checked out that link yet. So, that reads like the costs to get it stateside. Once here, what sort of other roadblocks occur? Surely it varies state by state, and fortunately AZ seems pretty relaxed on registration and titling of all things here (sandrails and quads can...

RMP&O, can you give us a general idea of what the process entails, from the buyer's perspective? Beyond purchase and shipping costs, what other costs (financial or time) exist? I last read up on this sort of stuff well over a decade ago when thoughts of a Skyline crossed my mind, but sounded...

Sorry, was a comment for the guy who bought your truck...he's had a couple R50s affectionately known as Trailfinder (among other names, from what I understand).

Ooooh....is this Trailfinder V3??

This is a really good point to bring up...definitely check their tool return policy. O'Reilly and also NAPA have short loan programs; if you fail to return the tool within that time frame, you'll end up buying a loaner tool you likely didn't want own. I rent from AutoZone because they have a...

Better off just using brake cleaner and spraying everything down. Keeps the dust down and is far more effective, but obviously be mindful of the overspray, fumes, skin contact, etc. Gloves, glasses, and some cardboard usually helps to catch drippings (it'll evaporate quickly, though). But if...

That'll be awesome!

31-spline swap...check. http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/42436-31-spline-swap-or-how-to-install-a-rear-mechanical-locker-in-the-r50/ Yup, I chatted with Chris a couple times to get some info, but also did some additional research for the fitment of Patrol lockers. Didn't install it...

Thanks, Mr. 510. Good info...and not to doubt you; I'm familiar with your work. I had read about a few Xterra transmission swaps by WD21 guys on NPORA, but I guess it was mostly to get a newer AT that fit. About the TSS...I presume that's aka Turbine Revolution Sensor? Since the R50 was the...

I like the N50 platform in general; the 4.0L is a stroked 3.5L and it's apparent (drove a couple newer Frontier CC 4wds this year and loved it). But, that VQ40DE has had reports of timing chain noises/whining that the VQ35DE doesn't seem to have. I like the body styling, but I feel like the...

Hey Dan, I think in your specific scenario, you would be better off with the Xterra instead of another R50. And I say that because even knowing what I know about the R50, the WD22 has a lot more potential in everything (except maybe engine performance). I personally don't think the R50 is as...

Lemme tell you a story about the sidewalls on Goodyear Duratrac Load E tires...
