  1. My truck has a push button on it to start it but it was on it when i bought it. I'm not 100% sure on this but i believe for a push button you would just have to wire it to the power wire coming from your key switch to the starter so there isn't power going to the starter till you hit the button. As for the switch if you want to control the power coming into the key switch from the battery all you would need to do is wire it into the power wire from the battery that goes to the key switch. But i'm not 100% sure on this so if someone else could confirm this it would be better.
  2. Mainly because i anit got the money to keep the pathy and buy a DD. Ive always liked the hardbodys and il most likely need the bed alot so selling the pathy isnt that bad to me. Guess now i need to figure out how much my pathy is actually worth.
  3. Ive been thinking either one of them or a 4 banger yota but id rather stick with nissan. Can anyone give me some real life numbers on the mpg?
  4. Starting August 15 il be a full time college student and having to drive 100-120 miles a day round trip 5 days a week. Which means that il most likely be selling my pathy since its not the best on gas. I wanna stay with a pickup or suv(mainly because i cant fit comfortably in almost all cars). Definitely looking for a manual and would love to keep a 4x4. Any ideas on what would fit this would be greatly welcomed.
  5. interesting. i swear when i got my first pathy 2 years ago i read a post around here that said the fender anttena was just am. maybe im imagining things
  6. ok so i been thinking. I have a 3ft firestick that ive got mounted on the back cross bar on the roof rack. But our fm anttena is in the windshield and the antenna in the fender is for am and i only listen to fm. So would it be possible to take the anttena out of the fender and install the firestick there? Would it mess up my radio signal at all and would it work well for a cb?
  7. ok all i have to say is....... I WANT ONE!!! too bad to get one right now id have to sell my pathy
  8. Naw no write up. I know how to put a exhaust system together. Was just wondering about how different style tips would change the sound. The more i think about it ima just do from the cat back with 2 1/4 and exit right before the rear tire. Only thing left to decide muffler type and tip style.
  9. Hey. Ive got a few questions bout the exhuast. Ive read and read and already know 2 1/4 pipe is probably best and duals only after muffler and all that stuff that is basically been gone over. One thing i havnt read on this site or hardly anywhere about our lil 3.0s is tips. Ive basically decided that i wanna get a deep thoarty loud exhaust tone while cruising and some popping when i stomp the skinny pedal. Will any exhaust tips and/or mufflers help acheive this? I had a glass pack on the stock system with a dump right out of it on my old one and i loved the noise level and the popping but it wasnt exactly deep as i wouldve like. Also i wanna do duals after the rear axle comming out side exit. Is there any way short of having a exhuast shop bend me a pip to replace the pipe going over the rear axle or a way to get around the axle or will i be stuck with the stock pipe. Id really love to go 2 1/4 there aswell. Sorry about the long post and any typos. If this has been gone over and i just didnt search right go ahead and tell me and I'l go back to searching. Thank you for yalls advice in advance.
  10. I hope so. I know it's either a locker or LSD going bad. It isn't an open dif tho. Itl go places in 2wd that my old pathy with a open dif struggled in 4 high
  11. I've had this pathy since last September(last one wrecked to friends stupidy.) and every since I've driven it there is a clicking/clunking sound coming from the rear axle when i am going slow and turn in both drive and reverse. It may do it at all speed but i haven't noticed it over 20 mph. Also when i hit the gas in dirt or gravel or brake stand on pavement both rear tires spin. I've looked and cannot find the orange LSD sticker on the rear differential. I don't know much about this truck cept what I've found out since buying it cause the previous owner didn't have much info about it. Is it possible that a previous owner put a locker in the rear axle? Or is the sounds I'm hearing is just the rear differential grinding and about to go bad? Any help is appreciated.

    Welder help

    As the title says i need a lil help with welders. Ive been looking for a cheap mig welder to buy for myself lately but being a 17 year old and not having much money really limits me. Today my boss offered to sell me a Campbell Hausfeld Flux core 80 for 25 bucks. Ive used it before working for him but he recently bought a new mig and im currently his goto for any welding that comes in. Im basically thinking of doing lil jobs and whatnot for now. Biggest probably be sliders and bumpers sometime maybe. I have access to my granddads stick welder if i need it. Basically i wanna know if its worth buying or not. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks
  14. I know there is a website floating around here that sells most of the parts youd need. i wanna say krypto fabs. but i could be wrong. just search for sub frame drop and you orta find it.
  15. Sub frame drop. Used on r50 and up. From what i understand it is the biggest lift you can do besides a SAS for r50s and up.
  16. Lots of pics aint a problem at all. i gotta have documentation of the whole thing and easiest way is through pics. once im done il get em posted up for yall. Decided to go with ODB to cover better and whatnot.
  17. everything painted blacks commin off to get painted. everythings gonna be taped off good. ima have a clean body before painting. all dents and what not will be gone. prep and body work is 3/4 of the whole paintjob.
  18. My dad said ODB cause it would "blend" with my existing paint better if i missed a spot on a jamb or something like that. No camo. not that it dont look good i just want a solid color mainly.
  19. yeah i know paint is personal taste. im just wondering which will go better with my interior and whatnot(grey interior). I cant decide between the 2. i like em both and would drive em till they were peeling and dull. just gotta make a decision by this weekend so i can order it and do the paintjob by december 6th at the latest.
  20. Flat black bumpers, rims(already done stock chromies flat black but ima redo so the color matches exactly), black nerf bars, nissan symbol black(maybe). and if only i could get a spray can of each. would make it alot easier to choose.
  21. Hey Ima be painting the pathy soon for my senoir project. I was gonna with olive drab but when i found the type i want there is another color that looks great. I cant decide between em. I was hoping some of yall would be able to give yalls opinions and help me out a lil. http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/HRF236.aspx http://www.tcpglobal.com/kustomshop/HRF233.aspx Those are the 2 colors. each kit cost about 170+ shipping. Doing all the work myself and with my granddads help in his shop. Thanks
  22. Thanks. I found some on amazon but its a lil brighter than what i had in mind.
  23. Where did ya get the OD paint at? and is it Lusterless or what? Planning to paint mine in it soon for my senoir project with flat black trim and still trying to find the best deal on the paint. Thanks
  24. I always gap any plugs i help put in a vehicle. Dont trust any manufracture to gap them properly. I put them slightly below .035. probably around .033.
  25. The only time it misses is if i come to a dead stop like at a stop sign. then when i take off it mises/stumbles 1-4 times and then takes off and runs fine. i have noticed that it will only do it the first time you completely stop enless youve gone 5+ miles.
