What did you do to your Pathfinder today?
Charlie_Brown replied to RedRider3141's topic in The Garage
Get a strand of wire, string or bungee and strap the cv up to anything you can. A pickle fork works pretty well but I also got the bj press that has the three arms and a bolt. That works wonders, I used an impact to get it right while smacking it with a hammer. If you don't smack it, it can build too much pressure and fire out like a damn bullet. Bjs are honestly pretty easy to do -
Connection box on positive terminal cable

That is good to know lucky at this point I don't need to mess with them and their lengths bit in the future I'll have to remember that -

Flushed the coolant system and repaired a wire that broke from it's connection so she can start and run again. Trying to get enough motivation to pull the rad out and redo the power steering lines. -
Connection box on positive terminal cable
Charlie_Brown replied to Charlie_Brown's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
Yep, black box is just a connection however I was unaware that the red and green wires were fusible, I figured that was in the next set of connections immediately after. Good to know -
Connection box on positive terminal cable
Charlie_Brown replied to Charlie_Brown's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
It is literally the connection box that connects to the positive terminal right at the battery. I took it off and apart and it's not a disable link it's just a connection for anyone else who may want to know. Ended up a wire pulled away from the connector so just the insulation was connected in my case. -
Anyone know what this is for and if it is a fusable link or just a Connection? Can I bypass it and wire straight onto the battery post or like I said is it a disable link?

The block attached to the positive cable is making it so I can't start the truck up. Thought it might habe just been the terminal since it was cracked and rotten bit after replacing it's still having troubles starting. Gotta go the the junkyard and get a new cable. Not paying 122$ for that. Seemingly fixed my coolant leak once and for all. I say seemingly because until I run the truck for a few hours I won't know for sure bit I see now way of it failing. Looking at exhaust parts now with magnaflow high flow cat and red cherry bomb style muffler. Anyone have any thought, opinions or remarks on exhaust and which way I should go? Never done anything with exhaust before. -

Took it out on a dirt road for shooting, nothing big just a road with some minor ruts since the gate was closed. Truck performs great, ecu 55 and the only issue with the whole engine after the swap is a coolant hose has a leak which stopped me from getting an alignment. Swapped the 33 super swampers on it and looking at trimming the fenders a little so I don't rub at full flex and turning bit other than that it doesn't rub at all. Plus it would be interesting trimming the fenders and making them look good and not hacked. Still have to redo the power steering line but I'm just happy to be driving it again and not have any major issues -
33x12.50r15 beadlocks on super swampers with 3.5in SL and 2in BL. Only rub is on the fender flares in corners at turns and on flex. Thinking about trimming to get rid of it and give it a better look. Have to paint the truck regardless so really not much stopping me.

Last three weekends I cut, bent and painted new brackets for the power steering out of 1/4 inch steel. Bent and moved the lines for the pressurized line, bent the outlet for the return hose so it wants going straight to the frame and added 6 feet of hose back to the fluid housing. Thankfully got my dad to help me out this weekend however it was only after we were done with everything that we saw that the return line is hitting the centerlink when it turns. I thought it was going to just barely kiss it but it hits hard so now I'm looking at getting a different line and maybe drilling new holes in my bracket to raise it however much I possibly can. Cut a notch out of the fan shroud since after the body lift if wants to rub against it and put the radiator back in. I'm going to run the power steering as it is right now to get new tires and an alignment, later I'll be bothered to take it all back off and work new lines. -
That's why we have our current wd21s

Patrols and wd21 with a stock front live axle

Everything is torqued down and greased. Need to attempt an amatures allaignment but that can wait. Time to start brackets -
Tried taking my Pathfinder for a swim
Charlie_Brown replied to ubertalldude's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
Don't forget to depressurize the system and run it out if gas before pulling the Injectors. Gas in the eyes burns like a son of a bitch -
Second opinion for Upper Control Arm
Charlie_Brown replied to Murph's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
Front v8 Cherokee springs. Google it you'll get the answer because I'm not positive on the year but I want to say 98. Type in Google lifting wd21 using jeep Cherokee springs. You'll get forum threads right off the bat. Can we just put all this information in one forum and pin it at the top so it doesn't have to be asked all the time? Would help out newbies and make it so we don't habe to answer the same questions all the time. -
I messaged you
-
Yep, that's exactly how I did it and how it says to do it in the bible. When in doubt, pull the bible out. Especially for something as critical as the timing belt is in our engines

Got the tie rod adjustment sleeves drilled and retapped, putting the zerk fittings in now so it's all ready to go in first th8ng in the morning and I can torque it all down.havw to thread two of the tie rods first though, not a big deal. Looked around for where the hell I'm going to mount this vice for the time being till the garage gets cleaned out a bit have an idea with a junk table I've been using to paint parts on in the driveway so power steering bracket should be coming along sooner rather than later. I'll just have to put counter weights on the other end of the table. This vice is no joke! hahaha -

Bought your grandpappys vice he used to build ships in WW2 for 100 bucks off Craigslist. Is it overkill since I'm really just using it to make brackets? Yeah. But it was cheaper than getting one brand new. Time to beat 1/4 thick steel! -
I can't say anything about GTA 5 maybe they have something weird going on but any other game like destiny, battlefield, need for speed ECT you don't need PlayStation plus for at least on ps4.

I'm holding out hope for mods with console seeing as skyrim and fallout have mods. If it doesn't happen will be a huge bummer. I'd be stoked to play with a pathy or patrol
-
With ps4 you don't have to pay for online play. If you have the og spintires on pc you get a 50 percent discount and a preorder adds like another 10 percent off? Something like that? Ends up costing somewhere around 11 or 13$. Not bad considering but everyone has their own opinions and situations. It's really just a console launch. Consoles also allow mods now with certain games so I could see this being one of them. I don't habe the pc game so I'm pretty stoked lol.
-
Not sure how many of you like video games but a pretty cool looking 4x4 game is coming out to consoles. Guess a previous version has been on pc for awhile. Thought I'd share since I'm interested in it with what little free time I have when not fixing my rig lol

Cut and painted some shims last week from 1/4 steel. Got them installed after fighting the motor mounts for 2 dsys. As soon as the fronts came off each motor mount would suck in and would not allow the new bolt to thread in. PITA! Something that was supposed to be simple took two days lol -

Isn't there a diagram of which fuse goes to what on the backside of the cover plate that tells you this?
