I'm getting anywhere from 20-23~ on the highway. It's a 5 speed manual with a full tune up. Replacing the o2 sensor made a decent difference. Other than that I've always been able to squeeze that kind of mileage out of my pathys. City mileage is meh. I will when I get the rest off my camera! Sweet, I'm on Vancouver Island right now... Took a whole day and made it up to Tofino. Had a great dinner at Shelter Restaurant. Damn I need to clean this thing lol.

Evicted a group of squatter bee's from the rear hatch!

Your most likely down to finding a used one, because I don't think anyone is still making them for WD21's anymore and likely have not for some time. Watch eBay, check wrecking yards regularly, scan Craigslist, etc... There were two companies that I can think of that used to make these visors in the 80's/90's. Lund was probably the best known, As for the second I do not know what their name was, but iirc it was Trailmaster who bought them out years ago (maybe mid-late 90's) and ultimately killed off the product line entirely. Only reason I know this is because I used to work for a company that made them for the original company and after TM's acquisition of them, we were just waiting for TM to officially tell us to destroy the molds. They had stopped production of them before I started there and the molds were still in storage long after I left.

So... I am not dead and fortunately neither is the pathfinder. Back in January my no run issue ended up being caused by the fuel return and feed lines being ass backwards in the tank hookup, and with a mostly empty tank it would run on fumes and then cut out. But in the process of trouble shooting I managed to screw up a few other things like my timing and my idle sensor so all in all it actually took quite a while to figure out and make right. But currently the engine runs like a champ. However, I am still having rear end noise issues at speed. Part of the problem ended up being my drive shaft length. At ride height the shaft was fully pinched between the diff and the transfer case, resulting in transmission noise as well as differential noise. I caught that in time to avoid damage fortunately. And now after another drive tonight I have a feeling that the noise I am hearing is coming from my rear brake drums rubbing on the sheet metal guard that wraps around the backside. If this is the case I should have it sorted out soon. On my test drive tonight I also managed to displace a coil spring while flex testing through some V-ditches and getting the wheels flexed out in the air, but that should be a minor fix. Long term I think I want to look at coil overs, or land Rover springs but we'll see about that. No pictures due to my phone camera being broken unfortunately. Part of the reason this has all taken so long is that I've been super busy with work, and I've taken on several more important projects since January that have all just made the time fly by. Speaking of, say hello to Swamp Thing... Not gonna spam the crap out of it on a Nissan forum but it'll probably pop up here or there when I finally get out and start having fun in the Pathfinder ?

I jinxed it! Went to fire it up before I left this past the weekend and it would crank and fire up fine but wouldn't stay running for more than 5 seconds or so. My guess is a critical sensor problem but I won't be able to find out until my shift is over. She's staying put until then.

/\ NEEDS a Pathfinder < Is wondering how tonight will go \/ Needs to have more fun
