vagabond Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Been working on the roof rack the last few days, mounting side lites and a backup lite. I ran the wiring inside the tubing then into the Targa Bar. Pics to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushnut Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 drove around in a blizzard last night just for the fun of it. Rusty handled like a champ, even with what I think are crapy Motomaster tires. even in drifts up to a foot deep no issues no pulling to one side just powered straight through. The longer I have this truck the more I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor636 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Installed some Moog coils. Lifted it about an inch and half over where I was, but I know it'll settle. It was definitely sagging. It rides much better though and that's the big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory74700 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Took the upper and lower air pan off then removed the MAF and cleaned it with some isopropyl alcohol. I soaked my whole intake yesterday driving through the river and splashing around, and the check engine light came on and sounded like I was driving with a worn out 454 with a moody cam. Problem solved, pathy is happy and purrs like a kitten again =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor636 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Got some new shoes installed. Always saw good reviews on the Falken Rocky Mountains, so I got a good deal on a set and free replacement certificates. My heart wanted some mud terrains, but maybe next time.

Cory74700 Posted January 19, 2013 Share Posted January 19, 2013 Fixed a nasty exhaust leak that kept sucking water into my catalytic converter, considering removing the cat till I have to smog at the end of the year, and hopefully by that time ill have a completely new exhaust system complete with fully custom made headers by me and a dual exhaust setup ran from a glasspack with twin outlets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Installed a fuel saver vacuum gauge in the T93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) how does a vac gauge help you to save fuel? just curious..i'm always down for saving fuel!! anyways i finally went out and cranked up my drivers torsion bar...driver side is not liking being cranked up over 3", might need some new bars soon.. ill be building a custom front steel bumper soon so I could use some stiffer t-bars anyways.. did a driveway alignment. also moved an exhaust clamp that wasnt sealing and tightened my drivers side exhaust header.. no more exhaust leaks!! also set the timing, it was just eyeballed when i put the distributor back in recently. purring like a kitten now! just need to find an EGR to put on my truck to pass emissions (then promptly take it back off once i pass) and the beast is ready to rock! almost there!

MY1PATH Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) how does a vac gauge help you to save fuel? just curious..i'm always down for saving fuel!! Look at the picture,Its called a fuel-saver because you can use it to curb your driving habits using color coded zones; the harder you step on the gas the less vacuum you have. So if you drive around keeping the needle in the green you will your driving habits will use less gas then if you drive around in the red. The colors read as follows: POWER (0-6) POOR (6-12) BEST ECONOMY (12-21) DECELERATION (21-30) There's articles online that go much more in depth about these gauges and the other indications they can give as far as tuning and engine health. My purpose is a means of comparing performance and economy when I do her 3.3 swap soon. Edited January 21, 2013 by MY1PATH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You "might" be able to pass without an egr. I passed with a non functioning one here in ontario. Barely, but it passed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory74700 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 That all depends on the location, I'm in a part of California that is tighter than a ticks ass with the smog requirements but they have some leniency here since mypathfinder is an 88 with tbi, I have a funky egr valve that causes a weird bog and had to drop my idle below 750 to pass but I passed with flyring colors, it just all depends on the year and motor style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Used the rear drivers side wheel to rip the front corner off a 2007 honda civic. Used it's amazing turn radius (not) to do a 3-point u-turn to follow the drunk driver in the civic that had hit me and fled the scene. Used it's height to see over the Saturn in front of me so I could get the license plate of the civic. Used it's size to block the civic in between a parked SUV and a tree about 3 miles from the accident Used it's engine to heat the air inside and keep my son warm while I spoke with the police on scene Used to crystal clear drivers side window to watch as the driver of the civic was taken away in handcuffs. Used my BFG TA/KOs, as I drove home, to run over (multiple times) the body parts that were left at the accident scene 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devonianwalk Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Now that is something I would love to do. I could get rid of my make shift base ball bat "prop rod" for working on the driver side engine bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harbinger Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I looked at my truck with a bit of sadness. Suddenly a spark of light appeared when I realized the ground under her isn't covered in snow. Now that temps are getting closer to the melting point, the sooner I can give the ole girl some love.

Trogdor636 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Painted my spare Lego black to match my others. Now I just need a good A/T tire to mount so I can throw it on the spare tire carrier and give my buddy his chrome XE wheel back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahardb0dy Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Installed gas hood struts, loose prop stick ...

Precise1 Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Moved some of the parts in to the garage... I sure miss it. Get another one! I took it out and washed it, prelude to waxing it and installing the Xterra rack. After years of neglect, it needs a good buffing or something...

Slartibartfast Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The years of neglect don't show, that thing looks very clean. I put an LED dome light in mine... not sure if I like the white light but it sure is brighter than the stock bulb! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagabond Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Am I glad my 88 is a Ca. pathy I ordered the pins and bushing for the tire carier today, and decided to tear it down it only took about 45 minutes to pull the carrier and knock out the pins and bushings. I did have a slight prob with last of the bushings , but a 12 mm 3/8s socket and a 4 inch extension fit perfect to knock it out. After hearing some of the stories about frozen pins I was sweating it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
