I do have a skid plate already, but it's the orginal....it's not even black anymore, more like redish black. That's why I wanted to buy another skid plate. I guess I'll just have to see if it looks good or not, like I said, the only chrome I have is the wheels.

Hey everyone, I need your opinion! My friend gave me a brushguard that he doesn't use anymore...the only thing is that it is chrome. My pathy is a white 92 xe with all the black trim, and I wanted to know if you think I should sand out all the chrome and paint it black, or just polish it up and leave it as it is. The only chrome on my rig are the wheels . I don't know if chrome would look good or not, I was even thinking of buying that pro comp skid plate from summit racing for it also, but I have never seen a suv or truck with a brush guard and a skid plate and don't know if it will look good. What should I do?

Sweet looking set up wheelman!!!

Sent mine in, hopefully they will take us into consideration, since we are almost ignored by the aftermarket dealers.

Mine did the same thing, but after I installed a tranny cooler from a very old ford mustang, and it did make a huge diffrence! I still feel a little heat, but not that much. I'm going to install a heat shield under the carpet in the driver and passenger side since it does get a little warm also.

How's it going everyone?! I have a few problems that I need help with 1) I just noticed that when I had my a/c on and going about 40-60 mph I hear a squeal coming from the engine for about 5 seconds, then goes away. May be the compressor, not sure. 2) I mounted 265/70/16 tires, changed the brake pads, and cranked the torision bars, I started to notice that when I hit the brake, it sort of pumps, like jumping on my foot, it does brake, but I also started to see that brake fluid covers the front passenger side of where the torsion bar connects to. 3) When I turn at very low speed,(5 mph or less), I hear a clicking noise coming from the front driver side. Any info regarding these problems will help me out a lot.

Sure!!! If you can get me this info, it will really help. What I have noticed recently also is that the check engine light comes on when this problem occurs frequently, and since I know what made that light turn on. So i unplug the harness and plug it back in again, the light goes out. What a mechanic told me is that the o ring around the sensor itself, not the harness, may be cracked and that in turn make the sensor suck air around it :confused: , instead of the air box. I'll check it out and place a new o ring. Like I said already all the input is greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone, I am having trouble with the mass airflow sensor. I recently had it cleaned and it worked fine for a couple of days then the problem I had before happened. Before it was cleaned my tranny was shifting at 4,000 rpms, after it was cleaned it shifted at 3,000 rpms. Now its back to the way it was. I know I have to replace it, but I was wondering it there is any aftermarket performance maf that I can install, or is there any type of customization I can make by getting one from another car. I can get a remanufactured one at autozone for $169.00, but if going to drop that money I might as well get a performance part to get better horsies. all input will be greatly appreciated!!!

Well, I do want to lift the back end of my pathy, but I found out thru the forum that you can lift the back by adapting jgc springs, that's what I want to do. From what i read you can get a 3" lift in the back, but I want to have a 4-5" lift in the front though, and since I'm on a budget then I need to save the most money I can for lifting my pathy!!! with the UCAs you can get 3-3.5 inches of lift in the front, or less if you crank the tbars less. youcant gwet any more than that really cause there just isn;t room to droop, never mind that the cv joints and tie rods cant handle it. why do you want to lift the front so much, and not the back? you may want to consider replacing your old torsion bars too, they could be sagging causeing you ride to be way low in the front. CALMINI.com is a good place to look for some really nice kits, but they are $$$. but worth it from what I hear. if you need more than 3" of lift, than your only real option is to do a combo body suspension lift. thats what I have done ad have about 6" of lift all around. I went with the 3" kit from 4x4parts.com, and have not been impressed with the front UCAs. the torsion bars are nice, and they were cheaper than calmini, and the rear springs were nice too. I want to change out the UCAs with the superlift ones, but cant justify spending the money again. :furious: if I were to do it again I would go with the calmini kit, but it wasn't available when I did my lift. dont forget to budget for new, longer, shocks when you are pricing out a lift. using your old ones will not give you enough droop. good luck Thanks for the inof oil man! Well, I guess if all the lift I can get in the front is going to be about 3 inches, then I think it'll be fine. The reason why I don't want to lif the back so much is that, not to offend anyone who has their pathy lifted this way, but i just don't like how it looks. The style around here in Arizona is to lif the front a little bit higher in the front than in the back and I think my pathy will look good that way, but if I can get 3.5" lift in the front with my torsion bars, than I think that'll be cool.

Thanks for the info!

Hey everyone, I want to lift my pathy's front end and I am thinking of buying these control arms from http://www.4x4parts.com. The website states that it can lift my front end from 2.5" to 3" of lift, but my question was, will this lift include me cranking the torsion bars or will these parts help me get the lift with out cranking them? This is a where the pic of the parts are at: http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...645e8453218c2ff Any input will be greatly appreciated!!!

Does any one know where I can get a replacement fender flare for my Pathy? I don't have the rear passenger side flare, and I am having a hell of a time trying to find it, preferable i would like it to be and original oem part.
