SC88Pathy

Hehe I was just about to suggest that. Either open up the hood with engine running at night or in a garage with all the lights off. If you see sparks time to replace the wires.

OK ready set go: Small chip in windsheild Both armrests on doors have ripped open Both seats have rips on side. Center console has a huge crack in it, but it's hidden by passenger seat Weatherstripping is shot After being parked in the rain the moonroof will dump water on my head when I start driving. Passenger side power window doesn't work Passenger side gap gaurd is missing Clear coat is flacking on trunk, but it's hidden by the spare Pretty sure one of my manifolds is ticking Crack in grill. (currently looking for a 4x4 hardbody grill to replace it with) Front suspension is very noisy. I'll post more later when I think of it...

:cool2: If they make it sign me up!

I maintain my position that its best to stop and shift, don't need any more wear on the drivetrain than it already has what with 207k miles on my 88. And BTW 88 you are crazy! Shifting on the fly at 45! Was that from your famous photo of you getting airborne off a dune?

LMAO! I actually saw a prius with a, yes you guessed it, TOW HITCH!! That just made my day, only thing that would have made it better is if they had actually been (trying) to tow something.

While you can switch into 4hi at low speeds (under 25mph) I would not recommend it, the transfer case will make many angry noises at you. Also that's how my dad destroyed the front diff in his old S10. Best to stop completly then shift into 4 hi then continue driving.

Yea we went over it a while ago, they have his OK to use his images (despite the fact that he doesn't have any OME products on there! )

I notice a HUGE difference between sport and touring settings on my pathy. I actually drive with sport on almost all the time. It reduces body roll (to almost none!), and definatly stiffens up the ride. Before I got my ball joints replaced it didn't seem to make a difference which setting I choose but now the difference is definatly noticable.

I have given up worrying about scratches in my paint, ever since I bumped into that stupid concrete pillar in a parking garage last year. All it did was put a quarter sized dent in the left front fender and scratch off a little paint. My first reaction was to be pissed (I mean seriously who puts a concrete pillar in at a diagonal?!). But then I took a good look at the pathy: Hood has numerous pits in the paint, scratches all around the key hole on the drivers side door, pits in the paint behind the wheel wells, scratches all along the sides from trees/brush/who knows what, clear coat flaking off on rear door under the glass, lower bit of front bumper folded a little from prev. owner, etc. etc. etc. At that point I was like F it, the pathy ain't never gonna look beatiful. As long as she runs I'm happy. Scratches give character, and if you leave the pathy a little dusty it's hard to see most of them (my pathy actually looks WORSE when I wash it ) Speeding tickets suck, loosing control and crashing sucks, dinging up your car sucks. But as Calvins dad says "It builds character" Anyways HAPPY 18th! You're a man now, that means you can buy cigs, jump out of a plane, join the army, go to REAL prison, and (most importantly) buy PORN! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Yah I think I also get charged around $5 for my 20oz CO2 tank. I have also been told that my tank is out of date and I need to get it static tested or some BS I just go to another store where they don't care and presto my tank is all full!

Something tells me that DSM had an easier time because he's got a body lift. I got the material for my gap gaurds (which I still haven't made, stuff keeps coming up) at orchard supply. They had pre cut sheets (I don't have the measurements on hand right now) in the flooring section, not sure exactly what it's supposed to be used for but it seems like sturdy stuff. Cost me like $25 for two sheets. I got lucky and all my little plastic tab doohickies were still there. As soon as I get around to making them I'll make tracings so people can have an outline for which to copy from.

Snicker see those on Craigs list all the time "Pathfinder, runs great, no reverse!" The prices they want for some of them is outrageous too! I have a sick feeling that this is gonna happen to my 88 soon...

Fraid not, sorry. http://www.frappr.com/npora Although I want to go to moab sometime...

This was inevitable: Don't blame me I'm just doin' what had to be done.

Some of this stuff you might be able to pick up at a J/Y, forget about undamaged interior pieces though, that's rarer than the factory light bar My suggestion for the rip in the armpad: 1. get it re-apolestered that's expensive, or 2. the cheap way get some color match duct tape, cover rip, problem solved! There ain't no problem enough duct tape can't solve.

Check to see if your power shift button is depresed, it's the button on the shifter. If it is depressed the orange "Power" light should be on, located on the dash to the left of the steering wheel next to the AT Temp warning light. If that's not the case, then do you have a lead foot? Pressing the gas peddle all the way or most of the way down rapidly will cause Power shifting to activate whether or not the button is pressed on the shifter. If your button isn't depressed and you don't floor it, I suppose that the gas peddle sensor could be stuck or broken.

Heehee anyone else see this? "Bragging Rights est. HP 265 hp est. wt. 3400 lbs" HAHAHA! A pathy with 265 hp!? What's he got a supercharger? Oh no I know he's got one of those tornado air spinner doohickies.

:o Well I'll be dipped that IS your pathy wheelman! You should sue the guy for illegal use of copyrighted material! :contract:

Hmm just recieved a follow up reply from BDS: "Hello, You had recently inquired about BDS suspension; I just wanted to make sure that you had been taken care of. If you are in need of further assistance, please let me know. Thank you, Chrissy BDS" Hmmm, should I let them know that I'm too cheap to make a long distance phone call for info on a lift? sssh

Wait was ABS even a option in 89? And NO 89 pathfinder had power seats! I think this guy has worth and money poured in confused. Oof pathy's do not look good in yellow. :oops:

If you want really cheap I'd go just flat black, with a white racing stripe! :cool2: (Racing stripes add 5 hp you know!) Or you could do what my friends did: they all chipped in a purchased a real beater car for another friends b-day. Then they took some pink spaypraint and wrote things like flower power and gay pride and an upside down triangle. I like the camo idea as well, woodland or white and black zebra style. There's also a company that sells vinal camo wraps...

I know it sounds obvious but have you tried running ECU codes?

On some models (such as mine) they are behind the head unit, kinda stuck back in there but noticable if you look. It will say clarion on them, and it is bronzish in color.

I thought something was wrong when I popped the hood only to find a man demanding beer and a fried cheese sandwich, but now that I know that I'm not the only one my fears have been relieved!

Can't help you with the noise other than to just say that my pathy makes a lotta suspension noises just driving around. However getting the front to sit level with the back requires no money, just a little bit of time and some wrench work. Just adjust the torsion bars to the point where everything is even (when I got my upper ball joints replaced the shop adjusted mine free of charge). Here are instrustions on how to adjust your torsion bars: http://www.geocities.com/pathfinderoffroad/techtbarlift.html
