enginerd Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Hey all, bad news. My '94 lost 3rd gear as an end result of an oil-underfilled manual transmission. Wish I'd known about that TSB when I had a shop do the work, but that was years ago, and I trusted the shop to do it. Damn. Anyway, I'll be putting up an ad in the for vehicles for sale section. If someone here wants to swap the transmission out, you'd have yourself a pretty solid truck for damn cheap. And I'd be REALLY happy if it went to a good home. I hope this doesn't mean goodbye. If you've been on a trail run with me, you undoubtedly helped me along, and I've enjoyed and appreciated every bit of it. (Oh, and Derek, I still have your spare TREs!) I did end up picking up an Xterra last year, and if you'll have me, I hope to join you on another run in the future. And nothing says my WD21 days are over... while I do really like the new X, I LOVED my Wigwam. I'm torn apart to let her go, but other circumstances left me with too many vehicles, and something has to give. I can't see myself spending the money to fix her up, when I could put that money into another project instead. Damn again. Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Well, that's a bummer! You gotta do what you gotta do. No worries man, the Xterra is really just a wd21 that had plastic surgery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginerd Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Good news is, no interest so far. A big part of me hopes I'm "stuck" with her... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginerd Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 I'm daydreaming of another trail run in her. Would be limited to 1st and 2nd gears only. Might be asking to be towed out... Either that, or trying to do wheelies in 2-low this weekend,then donating her. Just want one more good memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 We could hit Tahuya in April maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginerd Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Maybe! Though I may just get the transmission swapped by then, too. I'm finding better than expected prices. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Remember I have a 5 speed that needs rebuilt and you can have it. Might save you some downtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginerd Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 Sorry I've been radio silent. Dealing with craigslist is no fun. But a guy came by yesterday that will likely buy her tonight. Sad. I'll need a Tahuya run to break in the X either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Well, if we can't get one in soon, I know I will be going on Memorial Day weekend(probably Sunday). I've been doing so for the last two years and this might make it a thing 3 in a row! Sorry about the loss! Oh well, you got to have lots of fun in it!

enginerd Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Tahuya on memorial day weekend? Yes. Getting the x off pavement would make me feel better. Though I'll still be the sissy in the group, by far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginerd Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Can't do Sunday on the long weekend though, looks like I'm headed east on Saturday. Damn. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
