  1. Yea - decided to do it and I did not do the roof though lol I still would like to get an good ol buffin pad on the paint and bring the shine out some more. The claybar really did help a good bit.
  2. No rust, but there are some dings. Nothing to call mom about as say its ugly. to make is almost perfect, I just need to replace both front and rear bumpers. They are just dinged, but no frame damage. Nicks here and there that's about it. On the 2nd pic from the top, look by the front close to bumper by the fender well. It has a ding there. Only thing needs work as for interior is the seats need to be shampoo'd and headliner got some stains, other then that..... almost cherry,
  3. thanks for the response. Well I can do some things. I done hub bearings on my old 1982 Cutlass but from what I was told, the bearings on the Pathy is more difficult b/c of the 4x4. What is your take? My buddy said that since my truck is clean / straight, he said these things are wear and tear items and said more then likely even if you get a newer dated car, I would have to take on about car payments, auto insurance (full coverage) and then its breakdown if you was not to have warranty. So like Glenn said, I think I am going to go forward to fixing it. The Balljoints (lower) I can do. I help a buddy of mine that used to have a 1992 Hardbody and we did it with no prob. Now tie rods... I am little worried b/c it will need an alignment. Thanks all.... I will go ahead and take the task and do the lower ball joints myself.... ..... now about about the bearings? Is it easy on the 4x4?? TIPS?? The parts are only like $10.00 lol
  4. A good friend of mine overlooked at my Pathy and to find out that the bearings are loose and needs to be replaced soon. He also said that the tie-rods, lower ball joints, then he said that I also should replace the upper ball joints. Also I have a lifter knocking on the driver side (Yes, I did replace the exhaust manifold bolts ) Now on these Pathy's; how hard is the job to replace the front wheel bearings (4x4) ?? I was told the job would be about another $1200.00 to do all this. *** Now , do you all think I should do it? I already put about $1100.00 into it by getting the rear main seal, small block gaskets replaced, exhaust manifold bolts, timing belt replacement kit w/ all other belts. Right now what I paid into the vehicle and all the repairs, I have about $4200.00 total into it. If I get the ^ above replaced, I will be out another 1200.00 So I am thinking about not getting the other $hit replaced and just selling it out before I take this loss. I can afford the repair but do you think it's worth go forward w/ the repair? Now.... in the future.... I am not sure what else it will need fixed, but man........ What's your guy's take on this?? Thanks
  5. Yep, CV boot is EXPOSED and very dry (grease is gone). So I assume its on its last leg I think I'm going to replace all the ball joints and the cv boot/axel on both sides.
  6. Not sure what the hell the noise is coming from, but when I am rolling I hear a clicking. I'm think either the hubs (4x4) are going bad or could it be the dry exposed CV BOOT?? The sound kind of reminds me of my 1992 Nissan Maxima, which it was then was the CV Knuckle. What'cha think it is?? ??
  7. Thanks U 2. Since I been driving more often and longer distance I start to feel it. Somedays it seems to get warmer then others. Like today, same route to work and it was just a little bit warm (4x4 rod / shifter metal part of the rod), it was no where as warn as it was yesterday. I think I am going to change the differential fluids. It prob needs to be replaced Oh - the boot is for sure ripped
  8. I think I read on here that if the 4x4 shifter boot is ripped you can feel the heat around your right leg / knee. Also I notice that my 4x4 shifter (not the knob) is pretty warm to mild hot also. Normal??
  9. Ditto on Lucas products. I use the fuel injection cleaner by lucas and the truck rides and sounds great. I did use the oil treatment also. I get about 17mpg (4x4 / AT)
  10. Ok, now starting to wonder. I would like to know how I can find out if my 1995 XE has an OEM amplifier? If so; where would it be located at? I want to rip it out. lol
  11. What is a good deal for a shop to install a body lift for my Pathy? (just labor / install) I am thinking about the one from 4x4 parts. Would this be the recommended one also??
  12. Stay tuned; Dynamat installing to doors very soon
  13. Crow - keep in mind that "I THINK" on the 1994 & 1995 model Pathy's had the rear 5x7 in the rear roof and not at the doors. I do not recall that the older model WD21's had rear speakers mounted in the ceiling / roof of the hatch area. Am I right guys?
