Those look great except the fact that I would be forced to add power windows to my truck. Is the master switch pack for 2 or 4 windows? And how much would you be looking for them anyway?

Warm weather is here so I got back on the Hardbody.I found this spare in a Pathfinder.It will replace my current 14" white wagon wheel.And I installed the molded headliner and A-pillar grab handles.Note the rear headliner lamp.

$200 plus your rims is too much, and odd to ask for.I have intermintent wipers to add next.Then a remote entry system.Then an illumination circuit to add glovebox lamp, ashtray lamp and ect...Then I'll be finishing adding the ac.Underhood you need: ac comp with mount, fan belt, hi + low pressure lines, condensor and a relay .The relay plugs into an existing connector.Your crank pulley will be a 3 belt, or at least mine was to cover the ac and ps.In dash you'll need the ac switch and the evap core plenumn.The dash switch will fit into your existing controls.The evap core plenum will replace the non ac plenumn.That's just off the top of my head.I will be removing my dash to do the ac because the system and ductwork need a good cleaning.Keep us informed of your doings.

Your low beam problem may be with the headlamp switch.Mine had the same problem and it was the first thing I fixed.I took my stalk switch apart to repair.But later replaced it with a cruise unit.

Mine came with a burned up H/L switch. That was just the easy part to find and fix. Someone had made a rats nest of a wiring job fixing a headlight that didn't work (wired the headlight into the parking lamp when the whole time it was a fusible link that had pulled out). Either way that fried the T/S pretty good. Unrepairable I might add. Got one for $20 at a yard.

That's the way mine was when I first got it.I fixed the switch then undid the quick fix wiring.Then I eventually got another head lamp switch.

Did a leak down test and found #2 cylinder was leaking into the coolant.Bubbles would appear in the radiator.This was done after finding a cracked insulator in the #2 plug.I will be trying a gasket sealer system in another week or two.I'll let you know how it works.

Okay I don't think I need those lol I'm going to a local yard that has the marker lights for about 13$ in a few days...I'm waiting for the 40$ Saturdays Anything you can carry over the line in your arms is only 40$ all together already scoped it out none of them have what I'm grabbing from you tho....

I might grab two pathfinder seats new speakers and a new Nissan logo and all the fuse's relays screws nuts bolts etc etc my pockets can carry...and i have a set of cargo pants that can hold a lot. Well wish me luck and as soon as this lady pays me for mowing her lawn you shall have your money as well.Hope you have a good day!
