hello im Ian,
Kiaju is my first pathfinder, she is a 1995 4dr WD21 5spd ,
Im a outdoorsman who cant afford it, just moved to fort st. john chaseing the money to support my offroading habbits.
kiaju is more of a rescue, i got her from a co worker he had picked it up for $500 he just wanted the tires... he ended up not needing them i bought the truck and tires from him for $500, previous owner neglected her and had been useing it as a bare bones mudder (muddy cloth seats from high tide ) in two months i tuned her up then she moved me from vancouver to fort st john. still a work in progress!
the nitty gritty as i got her :
after market UCA and torsion bar crank (quickly torn boots) rear lift springs,
frame is in runnable condition 8/10 with a little frame work could be fixed up.
body has seen better days 6.5/10 rear fenderwell good sized rust hole, and some minimial trail tree damage.
184 xxx km aparent at purcess odo not running nor speedo (this forum helped me diagnose the speed sensor)
3.0 v6, 5 speed, running gear is in good condition running fine needed a oil change (fixed)
hack wireing job through out i must have pulled 30ft out
as i got her, she had the holes for a tire carrier got new-ish one from the wrecker (later modified)
locks all broken(fixed)
no radio of any sort, no speakers,(fixed)
no rear sway bar (fixed needed one for the drive)
LSD rear axel not sure on gearing... yet
exhaust leak at the manifold to exhaust (fixed)
needs a new o2 sensor old one is welded in...
the tune up:oil change, spark cables, spark plugs, distributer, points, battery, brakes, radio, speakers, subbwoofer, CB, VHF, spare tire,
this forum has helped me lots already, and i hope i can do some write ups to help others or atleast be entertaining
thanks
-Ian (PuddleJumper)
