Solid rear differential streetability?

It is a bolt-in affair to swap in an LSD, do it now. It is NOT worth it to drive a welded-diff car on the road. In addition to tearing up your tires like no other, it makes the car easy to flip during turns. The tires will always be fighting each other. Also, I hope that you trust your friend's...

Nissan Terrano(Pathfinder) troubleshoot?
The handbrake signal turns on even if the handbrakes are off and the rims in front get hot everytime we use the car whats the problem?

Actually says hand brake, or just a red brake light. Possible low fluid- denoting your coming up on brake work. The wheels will get hot when you use the car because the brakes stop by friction which creates heat. I would have the brakes inpected by qualified technicians...

Other Choices

More Info

Why should I also consider these? X

First of all, if you plan to haul people and don't anticipate towing much or regularly off-roading, you should look into more carlike choices like the Ford Edge, Honda Pilot, Chevrolet Traverse, or Nissan's own Murano.

The Pathfinder's design is already several years old, but it feels thoroughly modern next to the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, which mates dated styling with a cramped interior and subpar performance and will soon be discontinued.

The Toyota 4Runner is another possibility, with plenty of off-road ability, though it has a noisier interior and a harder ride and can get quite expensive at the top of the line.

The Ford Explorer has a nicely updated, comfortable interior with more standard safety features across the line, but it doesn't possess the sturdy off-road ability of the 2009 Nissan Pathfinder.

An alternative might be the Dodge Durango, which offers a slightly larger package overall, though it doesn't handle the road especially well.

Each of these vehicles has poor fuel economy and a less-than-ideal ride, and most shoppers would be better suited with a modern crossover design from these automakers.
