SC88Pathy

OK going to pick n pull tomorrow (half off all parts sat & sun! Woo hoo!), I'm hoping to find a lego tire (with or without a 31x10.5 tire), rear lego hubcap, spare fuses (I only have a spare yellow one right now), and maybe a LOUD horn. Anything else I should look for? I'm not ready to do the JGC lift so I don't really need those, but I'd be happy to pick some springs up for anyone (for a fee of course). Anything else you guys think I should get?

OK just went outside, set switch to on and locked the doors. Nothing. Light didn't blink flash or even go on. :confused: Maybe the LED has burned out? Or maybe the previous owners disconnected it, there are two wires one white and one black laying on the drivers side floor, but they look like they're speaker wires. I'll take a picture and post it. OK pictures taken and resized. I'm fairly certain that the wires are speaker wires now, but I'll post anyway. BTW you can also see my super sweet super mario floor mats in this pic. Oh and this is what the switch looks like (I got to use Macro mode on my camera!)

I'v seen some videos of russian police raids. You do not want to break the law in Russia, the police could care less about claims of "police brutality." In one video I saw they raided an apartment complex where a criminal was hiding out, they bust down the door and start beating everyone they see. Then they figure out they have the wrong room, and they go and do the same thing again this time in the right room. Talk about kicking hiney and taking names!

I'm not sure if my alarm works or if it is the stock alarm. :confused: First the switch for the alarm is a three setting switch "off on and impact off" with an led below it. When I move the switch to on or impact off the red led doesn't come on. How can I tell if its working? Fortunatly I live ruraly and have a heavy duty gate on my driveway so I don't have to worry about someone breaking into my car at night, but at school or when I'm in the city I worry about it.

For anyone who is (or wants to be) a total nerd there is a huge Anime convention in San Jose, CA May 27-30. I'll be going Sat. the 28 probably. The web page for the convention is http://www.fanime.com/ To be fair I'm not a complete nerd, I will NOT be dressing up (or cosplaying as the kids call it).

Haha! That scared the piss outa me! Good find.

Yup. Rhino Liner, or any other spray/roll on bed liner. I suggest rhino liner since they have that awesome really long commercial on TV, with dirt bikes crashing, chicks, jeeps and trucks four wheelin, models, people throwin all kinds of stuff into a rhino lined bed, twins, and all set to some awesome but rock. The commercials are available at www.rhinoliner.com but they don't seem to be working for me right now.

My mom: "Slow down!" Less than a minute later: "We're going to be late!"

We got lucky this year, we'v been having weather where it gets warm enough for the wasps to become active, and then it snaps back into cold rainy weather. Kills off a lot of the little f*ckers. The worst kind we get are scrub bees, or meat bees. They make eating outside in the summer darn near impossible.

Driving home from Laguna Seca last year (woo hoo Historic Auto Races!) I saw an 80s Volvo station wagon with a HUGE whale tail style spoiler on the roof. I was laughing for days!

I think that we have agreed without conversation that there is only one 88. Sorry M in KC, we'll have to think of another nickname for SC88Pathy. :contract: I completely agree there is only one 88 and it's not me. :bow: SC will do as a shortening, not that SC88Pathy is that long. BTW 88 I need to edit my vote for this poll I clicked 17+ instead of 15-17, can you fix that for me?

About as usefull as putting magnets on your fuel line. Or putting magnets on your wrist for that matter.

It's not replacing the bolts thats a pain, it's removing old broken bolts that's a pain. If you install new headers you're still going to have to remove the old bolts.

I might not be 88 but I got 88 in my name. Go to www.summitracing.com and do a search for part number RAN-RS5116. Their price is $40.95 each for Rancho RS5000 size 5116.

Looks like it's in Orgon west of Portland. Here's a link to the Oregon Department of Forestry's page about Tillamook. http://www.oregon.gov/ODF/TSF/tsf.shtml

I haven't had a chance to go camping with the Pathy. However when I go on our yearly family camping trip I always sleep in the back of our F150 with the shell on. I plop my twin size air bed in there and it fits perfectly. I'm only 5'10" so I have no problems fitting. However head room is an issue, there's barely enough available for me to sit up.

The 1st to second shift in my 88 is very abrupt and is usually around 3000, as one other member put it "like hitting a brick wall." Other wise the shifts are smooth. Interestingly enough I find that the 1st to second shift is a bit more smooth if you put your foot down and force it to shift more at around 4000+. ~I checked today and the shift point is more around 2500 RPM for 1st to 2nd with light gas peddle pressure. Also the shift becomes less abrupt once the trans has had a chance to warm up.

You guys think braking is bad? First go get about 5 blisters on each foot, and rip up your toe next to your little toe on your driving foot. Then go driving and try to stop. That's what I did this weekend (went running barefoot with my buddies on the beach, and then we tried to get to the next beach without going back and getting our shoes. BAAAD idea! ) Trying to put enough pressure on the brakes to stop in any reasonable distance hurt sooo bad. I'm just glad I have an auto, my friend had to drive a stick with feet in similar condition to mine (of course he has a CRX so might not have been as bad as the pathy). Lessons learned: 1 don't try and run on cement without shoes, 2 chicks dig guys in pain as evidenced by the free ride back to my pathy. sly

No you don't stop on this road, waaay to many scary rednecks. Also when it seized I didn't know what had happened, it sounded kinda like I was dragging something at first. When the water started spewing I could practicly see my house so I wasn't going to stop, I mean I had already gotten that far. Now if it had seized when I was in town, or even a couple of miles further back on the road, yea I probably would have stopped.

I had the water pump seize once in my old Camry. It was no fun, I was about 3 miles from home and had to drive listening to my belts slipping over the pulley. Then when I was about 1/2 mile from home water started spewing out of the pump and boiling out of the reserve tank, which got the belts wet which made even more noise. You could see where I had driven by the trail of water.

Earth, I'm using a Mac and I have no problem seeing pictures. What browser and system are you using? I'm using Safari, and running OS 10.2.8. :type:

Or get one of those kits that they made for old WWII jeeps that turned the jeep into a canoe. I'm sure one could be modified to fit a Pathfinder, then you could cross any body of water, heck you could even pop the glass in the back and mount an outboard motor! Then you could go *anywhere*!

A much cheaper idea is to go find yourself a straight stick, mark off the deepest you think your truck can go, and use that to measure how deep a hole is. You could even add marks for the bottom of your door, the bottom of your intake, etc. :idea:

Oh yeah I should add that my driving is mostly freeway and windy mountain roads.

I'll start it out. I'v got an 88 V6 and currently I'm averaging 16-17 MPG. Highest MPG yet is 18, and lowest was 15 last fill up. That 15 was probably because it was raining and I love to floor it in the rain. Spin those tires! -bounce- Of course I drive with a lead foot regardless of the weather. sly
