  1. Here some pics I took at work today. I do have the 235's on now, and the alloy wheels. Did they make the alloys different widths? A friend of mine's Dad has a Geo Tracker modified to run on the dunes. It is setup pretty nice, the original body is gone and there is a custom fabbed orange/black body on the frame now. It usually kicks the ass of the big trucks out there going up the big dunes. Definitely not the real sand rails though. We usually pop the bead on the tires, it has something like 275/285's on it. It is called the "Sand Hog". I've been down to Maumee State Forest on my KLR250 before, which was alot of fun.
  2. Changed my timing belt this weekend, as well as waterpump, cam seals, hoses, etc. I couldn't find the bypass hose at any of the autoshops, or at the dealer. The dealer said Nissan does not make the part anymore and that I could call a few other dealers to see if they had the part in stock. I ended up finding a hose from Autozone that had a 90* bend and was the same diameter, and it seems to be working just fine. I took off the crank bolt by using the old A/C belt, connecting it to the P/S pump pulley on the crank, securing it with vice-grips and wrapping on the old water pump. To attach it, I put it on the A/C compressor since I didn't want to break the new waterpump and the A/C looked stronger. It worked like a charm. Now, the engine is quieter and I can hear the exhaust leak better.
  3. Lambertville is a favorite town of my wife and I. I have no idea how it got started, but it is now a favorite town. Where do you go wheeling? I know of a few of places that are more dirtbike oriented, but I've heard Bundy Hill is good for 4x4s. I usually go to Silver Lake every year and would do some tooling around there. My Pathfinder has 245/75 15's on them, I would like to put some 31x10.5's on, but it looks like the torsion bars have sagged. The 31's are only about 1.5 inches larger in diameter, and 1" wider, will I need to worry about rubbing?
  4. Fixed a small issue with the door ajar and dome lights, which was the rear hatch not seating. There was a thread about putting some washers under the latch, which worked. Still no pics yet, today was the wife's bday. @OldSlowReliable - I'm down in Monroe. Where abouts in mid-Michigan are you?
  5. Got the timing belt and all the other stuff changed yesterday. Wasn't too bad of a job. The hardest thing was finding that small hose connecting the t-stat housing to the upper radiator hose housing. The dealer didn't even have the original part, and said it is not made anymore. I ended up finding a similar hose with more than 90* bend, and it seems to be holding. No pics yet, but soon - I promise.
  6. Thanks for the welcome. I'll post up some pictures this weekend since it gets dark here too early in the day. The tirefoamcan name is from the cleaner for tires. I happened to have a can sitting on my desk when I needed to change my name. I was reading a couple of threads and saw that the 94/95 has a 100K belt, anyone know why? Did Nissan switch to a rounded tooth design or something? Still planning on changing it this weekend. Plan for the spring is to wire wheel, steel brush the frame to check for weak spots, hopefully not have to do some welding and undercoat the frame. Heard the exhaust ticking last night after it cooled down, also on the list. Probably will do a 2" body lift as well. A guy at work as some free spacers, so why not. It will be nice working on something where I can stick my hand further down than the valve cover.
  7. Got it back home, but on the way home the odometer stopped working and the door switch on the driver's side started going flaky. Not sure what is going on with the odometer, but I know it was working for a few miles, then it just stopped. Maybe something to do with the regulator? The fuel gauge and temp gauge works fine. Also noticed the exhaust ticking noise. So a couple more things to do.
  8. Hey all - I am picking up a 95 SE Pathfinder tonight. I found many good topics on this forum to look for when I tested the Pathfinder. I found that it is LSD, has the sport package, and that the rear frame is not terribly rusted. There is surface rust on the frame and most of the undercoating is falling into the streets. The body is in great shape. 117K on the clock. The owner said he never had the timing belt changed, so that is #1 on the list along with a fluid change. I need to check the transmission fluid tonight to make sure it isn't burnt. It shifts good, and reverse is strong. Thanks for all the info in these forums and I hope to contribute someday.
