Awesome! Looks Great!

Made the clutch go bang!

Mounted my $30 aftermarket windshield washer fluid reservoir. WooHoo!

Happy belated Birthday B. Another notch on the cane...

Bought my 1995 in early 1997. Was the daily driver until a couple years ago at about 200k miles. Still runs great.

Box is under the driver seat. Having replaced mine before, just to make the light go off. 1) Do you have disc or drum rear brakes. Most pathys came with drum. 2) In order for the ABS on these to actuate both rear wheels have to be locked up at the same time, if only one locks up it won't actuate. Its because of the design with sensor at the pinion (drive shaft input to differential). As long as one wheel keeps spinning the drive shaft (connected to the pinion) keeps turning so the sensor doesn't sense a lock up. In my opinion its practically useless since with drum brakes it is rare that both lock at the same time. I guess maybe in a really hard braking situation it might occur, but I've never had my ABS actuate and I know I've locked at least one wheel in the rear. Bottom line in my opinion is it is best to drive like you don't have ABS.

08/22/2005? BTW, you need to charge your phone

B's phone comes with a bag.

Sorry, that is what I get for spouting off something someone told me

yeah buddy...diesel would be nice....and i'm also a fan of the MT but a lot like wheelin Autos better

And people wonder why everyone hates taking their car/truck to the shop!

I heard the FJ production is dead. I've actually seen one of these FJs in action and I was pretty impressed. A lot of technology to go wrong but when it works it works pretty awesome. Transfering power to the wheel that needs it.

What i don't get is when the introduced the Xterra it was kinda obvious they weren't gonna maintain two lines of 4x4 vehicles. Why not introduce a vehicle like what they slowly turned the Pathfinder into back when the introduced the Xterra and just leave the Pathfinder the 4x4? It's still a Pathfinder.....you can use it the find the path so you can get out and hike. Nuff said...its not longer what it was and never will be again clearly.

this my main point......really annoying when the ratchet is too to stiff ratchet off the nut, but you can't remove it by hand. My Father's old 1/2" drive Craftsman is very smooth compared to what they have in stores now. Kinda like what B was saying. I was gonna try to find some snap-ons at pawn shops but my 3/8" is dying quick so I may just have to order one...It'll be worth the money if it lasts and works like I expect.

I'm needing to replace some ratchets...i checked the Craftsman ones and in my opinion quality has gone down in the past years. They seem to operate very roughly so I plan on upgrading to Snap-on ratchets.

On one side I see the whole big state vs little state basis of the electoral college, but the presidency affects everyone so I agree that the popular vote should be the decider. In this day and age of technology it is no big deal to count those votes either.

Wow B, your Pathy is so clean and shiny

Did you drain the transfer case as well? This is where you are likely to make your mess after you pull out the drive shaft.

1) I would check your intake to see if you have a crack(s) in the flexible tube that goes from the air filter to the intake manifold. Also check the lines that feed into this tube. If there is leakage then the engine is pulling in unmeasured air because all this is after the Mass Air Flow sensor. Unmeasured air means air/fuel ration is going to be wrong. 2) If you want to know how it will perform without the catalytic convert (i.e. to check if it is major restriction) then just pull it and everything after it off. It'll be loud but you can do it temporarily to see if it improves operation. These older vehicles only have an O2 sensor before the catalytic converter. (FYI, my catalytic converter is complete eliminated, but I live in Florida where they don't do inspections)

Well, I know for sure my with my manual transmission there is a pilot bushing in the crank. I've replaced it twice. Once because it was bad (making noise when you pushed in clutch. especially on cold days) and second time just cause I was in there for throw out bearing.

Have you pushed it back a bit and then tried again? Otherwise, I might think to pull the shifter out and have a look down in there to see if something looks wrong. Of course it maybe be hard to tell if not sure what you are looking at.

Just an FYI. Warn doesn't sell factory direct anymore. So I'm having to go to a local vendor to get the service kit for my hubs.

LMAO

Thanks again B. By the time I'm done with these it'll be like it designed to be....finally. Of course that just means something else will break.

Stud installer = double nut? Guess not. Help a brother out!
