SC88Pathy

I don't think you could drive the truck if the frame cracked in half. The frame is what absorbs all the stresses from driving, and even under little old lady driving the frame is still absorbing a lot of stress. I think that any break in the frame would cause the truck to start crumpling. I'm not completely certain that is the case but through my very basic understandings of physics it seems logical. If I'm wrong on this will someone let me know, and if I'm right let me know too.

What they do with them is sell them as scrap metal to J/Y's. Also they take out anything valuable like the gas, and the precious metals in the cat.

Metallica rules! At least old Metallica, they did get very sucky after Load, Garage Inc. Disc 2 was good but thats because disc 2 was all old stuff. Good lookin wheels, but they need to be black!

Huh. I didn't know that. That doesn't come as a surprise as I don't know much in general. Hmm, Oregon is even closer than WA, and they even have redwood trees (at least in the southwestern corner of the state) so I'd feel right at home. Winters are supposed to be fiercer though. I'v never been to Oregon, I'll have to go sometime and see how I like it.

Maybe this is just the first step in taking over Canada? Just Kidding Article says it hits Toyotas and Fords the most so us Nissan folk should be fine. Of course us folk who live far away from Washington should be fine too.

darn! I wanna move to Washington! Not really I love the weather here in Cali. Also I see 4 Runners and low riders with tires sticking out for days all the time. Of course they usually angle their mudflaps outwards so that might be how they get away with it. ~You can't say D A M N?

Thieves maybe? Was it a shiny thing, people like shiny things.

WOW! :bow: I wish my Pathfinder could be so freakin awesome. I really need to get on finding another pathy to go all out on, oh yeah and a better paying job

Lookin good slick My 88 auto on 31's runs at around 2800 rpm at 70 mph.

I'm sorry. I'll check the next time I go but that probably won't be for a while, and cars rarely last longer than two weeks at Pick n Pull.

Not sure yet as to whether I'll do it or get someone else to. From what I'v read in the garage posts its a PITA, of course there's also the question of whether I can afford to pay someone to do it.

Went to get my pathy aligned today as it has been pulling to the right. Gave the guy the keys to the pathy and went inside to wait. About 10 minutes later he comes in to tell me that he can't align the truck because the lower ball joints are worn and there's too much play in the suspension. Stupid rizzrum ragum :furious: . Now I have to get the BJ's replaced, and a simple alignment has turned into a big ol expensive hassle. Not only that but the tire I had for my spare was too damaged to hold air, and they didn't have any used 31x10.5's. pssd Today just wasn't my day.

Dag nabit! If only I was on the east coast, I'm actually looking for another Pathfinder or hardbody pick up right now, a rig that I can go all out on and not have to worry about hurting my daily driver off roading. If anyone sees any cheap west coast pathy's, running or not, (preferably 2 door but I won't turn down a four door) let me know. My only reqs are that the frame susp. and drivetrain are undamaged; it doesn't have to be pretty it's going to be a trail rig.

No prob Slick! Wheel366, yes having drums to serve as your e-brake or parking brake is common.

Slick get to the Moss Landing pick n pull quick, I saw an early 90's with rear discs there sunday (actually was the pathy I pulled my new spare off of). It also had rock sliders (i think) a beat to hell brush gaurd, and some spiffy tan leather rear seats. Unfortunatly the front seats were already taken. :sniff:

Discs are way better hands down no question about it.

Will do, but probably not for a couple of weeks at least. It's not that important it just bothers me that it doesn't work.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! -bounce-

OK I tried arming the system as described (turn ignition to ON, turn alarm on, turn ignition off, shut doors and wait 30 seconds), the LED didn't flash. After 50 seconds I shook the car jumped up and down on the bumper and nothing. Opened the door and didn't stick the key in the ignition and waited fifteen seconds, nothing. Does the engine have to be running when you turn the alarm switch to on? The manual says that you can't disarm the system completely so what gives?! pssd

I don't want to bother converting to KM/H but I usually cruise at 70-75 MPH in my 88 V6 auto on the highway (if traffic allows of course). 75 is usually at 2900-2800RPM, 70 MPH is closer to 2500 RPM and 60-65 is usually close to 2000 RPM.

When you checked the trans fluid was it warmed up, and did you shift through every position (ie P R N D 2 1 2 D N R P)? If you didn't you can get an incorrect reading.

Went to the junkyard today, their selection of pathfinders was piss poor, only two pathfinders (one two door and one four door) and no hardbody pickups. However the four door Pathfinder had exactly what I needed a lego wheel, and a lego hubcap (which was hidden under a bunch of junk in the back of the car). No fuses they were all taken, and no power side mirrors, at least none that weren't broken. :sniff: The tire on the lego is very bald, but I'v got a spare 31x10.5 tire that came with my pathy when I got it. ~ I forgot to mention that I also grabbed all the lugs, so I now have 7 spare lug nuts (previous owner had a couple of spares too) if anyone needs a couple.

I don't beieve in ghosts. BOO! AHHH! WHAT WAS THAT!!!???

Lookin good hardware! :cool2: Now you've got to update your sig!

Thanks for reminding me! My passenger side mirror is broke, it will only go up and down not left or right. I better pick up one of those, I'll get the driver side one for you if you want (and provided it costs <$20 )
