SC88Pathy

HAHAHA! Go in in the morning. Then go wheeling, and bring it back that afernoon! Yah guys I don't know what happened. I parked the truck at the mall and when I came back it looked this way. OMG I would have so much fun if'n someplace offered that to me! Slick can attest to just how dirty I get my pathy!

That's illegal in California. No but they did in Road and Track a while ago. They did some wind tunnel research and as far as drag coefficients go tonneau covers where best, vs tailgate up and down. However they didn't mention the effects of a camper shell. Although I suppose a camper shell could vary a lot due to differences in shapes between manufacturers, whereas a tanneau cover is the same no matter who makes it.

Yup it's a wonderful little place called eBay, maybe you'v heard of it before?

Well I'v only had the pathy for a little over a year and it's closing in on $2000, but I have had most of the work done at shops... Close to $2000 and no real mods besides the stereo! Hmmph need to get that bull bar on soon, need to have something to show for all that money spent.

No thank you. Then how in the hel would I get anywhere on time?! Cruise control scares me. And where I drive there is NEVER a constant flow of traffic. My AC don't work and one of my windows don't roll down, so its window down for me! Wait there's air inside tires? I thought they were solid rubber. OK this one I can agree on.

As Eli says CHANGE THE FLUID!!!! I just had mine flushed and the trans runs sooooooooo much better. A transmission cooler is also a very good idea something I have yet to do. However don't run it inline with the stock cooler, completely bypass the stock cooler. The problem with the stock cooler is that it is prone to clog. Stock cooler clogs, then there's no more fluid flow, and the tranny burns up quicker than a fireworks factory. And if the stock cooler clogs the external cooler does no good. This is something you should change Eli.

LOL!! Oh man that is SO good! Seriously though jay, there was a post about this about a month or two ago. Do an advanced search for lighting wiring, or light bar as the question was asked about how to wire a stock two door light bar.

Three simple steps to becoming an NPORA member: 1. Own a pathy 2. Declare yourself to be a member. 3. Enjoy all the benefits of membership (a cool message board with cool people, and wheelin your pathy!)

Hmm this morning it didn't die. It tried to, but I gave it a little gas and it sprang back to life. Didn't get to run codes yesterday, I'll have to do it tomorrow.

Yes I did know that was coming, I'll try and get to it Tuesday. In the meantime any other thoughts?

For the past week or so the Pathy has been giving me problems after start up after having sat overnight. It starts up fine and idles for a second or two but then promptly dies. When I start it up and immediatly give it some throttle it gets to about ~1300 RPMs "coughs" (I don't really know how else to describe what it does but cough is a good approximation) and then dies. Does this for 3 or 4 startups until I can get it to rev up then it runs fine. Any thoughts?

Yes you are correct Nissan Hardbody Pickups are D21's and Pathfinders are WD21's. Pretty much everything is the same from the dash forward, although the D21 4x4 pickups have a cool little 4x4 logo on their grills. 4x4 D21's have a longer steering column and a longer transfer case shifter as well due to the fact that they came from the factory with a 2 inch body lift.

I don't know if they ship to the UK but www.jcwhitney.com sells brand new supports for the back door and window. I got my door supports from them about three years ago and they're still working great. Good luck on interior parts most of the stuff that breaks/wears breaks and wears on EVERY pathy. Otherwise check ebay.

Welcome Jon! There are two methods to post a picture. The first (and in my opinion the best) way to add a photo to your post is as follows: First upload the picture in question to another website. Anything will do geocities, free webspace that came with your internet connection, or a service such as www.photobucket.com . Next to put the photo in your post use the "IMG" button above where you type your post. That is the button I am refering to. When you click the button it will ask you for the web address for your photo. Simply copy and paste it and click ok. NOTE: if you use photobucket you don't even have to click the image button. Upload the photo to photobucket, then under the photo there will be a box that says IMG. Copy and paste the contents of that box and the photo will be in your post! The easier way to attach a photo is to click choose file at the bottom of the reply page. Then you can select the file and it will be uploaded to NPORA. Using this option only allows you to attach one photo at a time. If you have any further questions feel free to PM (personal message) me! ~EDIT Wow first pic was way to long, this should be better... Oh yah don't forget to introduce yourself properly in the New People Start Here thread Jon!

Haha that's what I meant by chinese fire drill.

Actually I'v heard that the claws can have even more traction when mounted reverse... And if you think it was going to be a long ways to get back to a tire shop you could always play a chinese fire drill with the tires and have it so that all of the tires are backwards, that way they're all at least going the same direction...

I always wait at least 30 seconds after starting up before going anywhere, unless the pathy has only been parked for a short time. With so many miles on the pathy you gotta try and keep wear to a minimum.

That happens when your connection to the site gets messed up somehow while loading the page. Re-load it and the page should look normal. Happens to me everyonce in a while too.

Their nicknames aren't "Just Empty Every Pocket" for nothing!

HAHA! I still have all my metal tonkas, although they are just a little rusty. Even here in sunny CA metal rusts if you leave outside over several winters...

Maybe vsicks, but then again the trailmaster and uca/jgc spring combo is mostly bolt on whereas an SAS requires quite a bit of engineering savvy, understanding of suspension geometries, and welding knowledge something that many of us sadly don't have.

The hood *should* fit. I'm not sure but I think you might have to change the grill and lights at the same time. Or is that just for the swap to the '97ish hardbody hood? I don't know about the fenders though I think those might be different. Also I think the hardbody fenders have even less "bulge" than the pathy fenders.

Um yes they do remanufacture your stock centerlink into their centerlink. That's the reason for the core charge. Finding used centerlinks can be difficult for them, so you get charged if you don't send them your core. Also if your centerlink is buggered it's no use for them thus you get hit with a core charge. As to why they don't have upgraded tie rods I don't know. However I haven't heard people having problems with the tie rods, the problems come from the centerlink and idler arm.

Haha my grandma got a speeding ticket!

Actually engines are at their most efficient at 75% throttle. So going super light on the throtle doesn't save you that much gas.
