  1. Hey Scott... you are close enough for option 2 \/ \/ \/ And those of us who have been around for a while know that your more than capable of the installation... as long as it does not require the use of fire
  2. Might find a few more in THIS thread (currently two below this topic)
  3. Please tell me that SOMEONE has jumped on this AMAZING opportunity?!?!? And to add to what 01Pathmaker said above, fleurys would not be a member of NPORA's Vendors Group if he was not an exceptional member of this community. And he's bilingual to boot!
  4. If its under warranty, get it in asap and keep the battery charged until you can.... if it's not then take them both out and have them tested (battery needs top be as fully charged as possible for proper testing)... at more than one parts store, because some times a given parts store employee may not know how to properly setup or read results of their machines (this is mostly about alternator testing.) Then go from there.
  5. Now that we have a shiny new forum, lets see some more members on the map! Remember that it does not have to be exact, I personally would never recommend placing your marker on your house ... but in the city or general area if your not within a city limits seems perfectly fair! :Aok:
  6. BUMP Good info on understanding the shift procedure of the TX10 transfer case.
  7. It's been a while since this was bumped! Web link in post #1 is dead, but 88pathoffroad cut and pasted the article in post #6 so it would always be available to NPORA Members!
  8. Well after downloading the plugin again, followed by six more uninstalls/reinstalls of the server side app... and no word from their "support", it seems that tapatalk is working again. *Posted from the app*
  9. Well as you can see from my sig I have no problem with yota's. But anyday in which we loose a fellow Pathitarian (? ) is a bad day for sure. ?
  10. The discussion regarding that is still ongoing by the staff... sorta. I just temporarily upped the time limit to 3days (72hrs) Enjoy! If anyone has a specific need to edit beyond that, feel free to contact me with details. We'll work it out
  11. Click the icon next to the thread name, that will take you to the first unread post. It's on the left and will be a circle of you have not posted in the thread, or a star if you have.
  12. Yeah I've seen this as well, but in browsing other forums while looking at options involved in the upgrade, I found many of them to be the same, including IPS's own forum
  13. Couple things regarding the text box. Emoticons If you start to type the code for an emoticon, then the options that match what you have typed should appear. For example lets take the thumbs up emoticon ( ) . For that the code is either of the following two options :aok: :Aok: If you start to type that code you should see the following pop up (may take a second or two) The more letters in a Emoticons Code name you type, the more fine-tuned the list will become. *note that typing native forum emoticon code while using a mobile browser, such as that on a cell phone, will bring up the forum emoticons corresponding to that code (in addition to those which may be native to the mobile device itself) Member Mentions They have finally added a "Mention" ability. By typing @ followed by a members name you can Mention a Member in your post. Please note that by using this feature the forum will automatically sent the mentioned member a notification (per their notification preferences) As an example I'll mention myself.. Here is the code you would use to "Mention" me in a post. @RedPath88 Starting to type that will pull up a list of members similar to this. The more letters in a members name you type, the more fine-tuned the list will become. This will result in the following in your post @RedPath88
  14. Server Move NPORA Forum has moved to a new server due to the size of our database. The server system that we've been on since May of 2012 suited our needs until just over a year ago, when we were originally contacted by our host regarding the amount of system resources we were using. Since that system was a shared server, NPORA's growth had started to impact other websites on that server. Some of you may remember the "There's a problem with the database" errors that started a little over a year ago? That was due to us being temporarily blocked from the database server due to excessive resource usage. Since then we've been doing manual database maintenance every 1-4 days to keep within our limits but it was a loosing battle. We were able to lower our resource usage, thus lessening the impact on other sites and preventing almost all automatically enforced access restrictions, but since the database grows daily we basically came to a tipping point where the host would have been forced to permanently block our access. As a result we have transferred the entire site and database to a virtual private server with dedicated recourses. Now if we over use we affect only ourselves and no other websites. Although this does come at a higher cost, with a little luck it will serve us well for another 5+ years! Forum Upgrade In addition to the move talked about above, we also used this as an opportunity to upgrade the forum software. The old forum version worked great the way it was, so we put off upgrading and having to deal with changes, potential problems and features no longer being available. However, just like with the older server system, this was not sustainable in the long term. The old version had gone out of official support by IPS some time ago so when problems did arise we had no choice but to resolve them ourselves. If something had happened that required far more technical help, that help was no longer offered by IPS. So it was a risk by staying with it. The other thing that was no longer available, were security updates and with the constant reports of new malicious attacks happening, that in it self was a big risk. We are now on the most current available version of the forum software and as you have already noticed, quite a few things have changed. Beginning with version 4.0 IPS did a complete rewrite of the software so in the background many things work differently than before. As a result some visible features also act differently or are simply no longer available. We have managed to restore most of the function that we've all become accustomed too. But there are a few things you should know. No longer can accounts have separate Login and Display names. During the upgrade Login names were merged into the Display names on all accounts leaving the Display name only. So if you used to login with a name different from the one displayed on your profile and posts, you will need to use the Display name to sign in. To help minimize account lockouts, logging in using the email address linked to your account can also be used. The password is the same it. Friends / Followers Instead of friends, the new forum features followers. You now have the ability to follow another Member without that being automatically reciprocal. Previous friends were not converted to followers. Avatars Some Members Avatars did not make it through the upgrade process. We will slowly go through member my member and attempt to restore those images, but this is a very time consuming manual process and is not a high priority at this time. You are of course welcome to update the image yourself by clicking the photo icon on your avatar from your profile page. While your there, you can also add a cover photo on your profile, give it a try! Themes We've added a dark theme, which you can choose at the bottom of the page. Give it a try, let us know what you think. But a heads up, some people may fine that certain menu's could be a little harder to read. Sidebar They made a lot of changes to the sidebar, along with adding locations above (not currently used here) and below the main forum listings that act in much the same way. You' noticed that those items on the right do appear differently. For whatever reason IPS removed the ability to reply from the sidebar to Status Updates. Since many here use that, we did some searching and found a developer that restored similar functionality, but it definitely does display differently. Anniversaries We've been unable to find a Forum Anniversaries plugin similar to what we had at the bottom of the page. So far now that feature is no longer present. Member Country Flags - Resolved, Deleted the listing. These are the flags that appeared below your avatars in posts. There is no compatible version of the addon for the current forum software. There was also no easy method of removing the entry (addon was poorly written) so the entry, without a flag image is still present. We will look into manually editing that line out at a later date. Member Map The Member Map that we use here is a 3rd party addon application and it has changed a few times in the years we've been using it. With the current version, the background map has once again changed. However, the new version allows a selection of maps to be used, giving Members some ability to customize the view. It seems that all of the existing markers made it through the upgrade, but please take a minute to verify your marker if you had previously placed one. If you didn't, now is a perfect time to add one! Tapatalk - Resolved, For Now Tapatalk has always been a problem for us. It seldom works after a forum software upgrade (some times not for months), seldom works right after a Tapatalk software upgrade and never gets immediate support when problems do arise. Right now, Tapatalk does not work and there is nothing we can do about it at this time. This is a problem on Tapatalks side and we've submitted a support request. As soon as they can figure out the issue, or as is often the case, upgrade their software to be compatible, we will restore it's function. Until then I encourage you to use a mobile web browser to access NPORA. They really do work well and offer full or nearly full functionality. You can also use the Desktop view (or similar) and have the fully functional web view of the forum. We will update this entry with more, as needed. Please use this thread to report any issues you find or to talk about things you like. If we talk about the new forum features openly, then everyone will become more familiar with it even faster
  15. Added some down arrows to the post, but yes just the country flag image being missing.
  16. Others have, including myself.... twice. But I just could not remember if I had to do anything special to get them out or back in the second time, when I installed aftermarket grinds, so I didn't chime in here. The first time, was when I broke one,and for that I had the heads off. That was stock grind replacements.
  17. Can't speak to sunroof sizes, but afaik all D21 and WD21 front doors are the same size no matter the year or how may overall doors it has. Meaning that you should be able to use doors from any First Generation (86.5-95) Pathfinder or any year Hardbody (86.5-97). This has come up from time to time over the years and I can't remember any one ever finding otherwise. If your in doubt then my advise would be to measure the length of one of your doors and bring the tape measure with you to the wrecking yard. When Nissan converted the Pathfinder to a 4dr they literally just squeezed a couple extra doors into the existing body. Same went for Toyota with the 4Runner. Both did it in '90, compliments of the Chicken tax. Edit: I've done some searching here on NPORA and everything I found... including some of my own posts... say that they are the same between models and years. I also looked up front doors glass from various suppliers, and the part numbers have been the same.
  18. Oh no, I get it wrong plenty Lets just hope I am again!!!! Not sure how well this will work out, but it is definitely worth a shot! Even if for no better reason that to know if your going to need more pullers!
  19. I often wonder if he put my 4.6 (that I bought from Jared) and locker to use. I was unable to make it back up to his place to pick them up before I moved.
  20. I was about to ask if you had any recent updates on this, but I just read your post in the what done thread about a booster with les play
  21. See if you can get him (Mr.510) to come back here too, he's helped a number of people here and his return to activity would be welcomed
  22. Well hopefully it's not stuck for the same reason mine was... years ago I tried to remove mine and after two, nearly three, destroyed pullers I found that the woodruff key had partially sheared in combination with the keyway rounding out. Basically it had rotated slightly on the crankshaft and wedged the pulley on. The exact same thing had also occurred on the Timing pulley, leading me to believe that the crank had somehow softened or never really hardened properly in the first place. Either way, it was toast. And sadly, I am not the only one who has seen this happen.
  23. I'm sure you've already done it, may have even mentioned it her... Have you inspected every mm of the hard lines and all hardware for kinks, bents, holes, cracks, etc that may be restricting fluid flow or allowing it an exit point, however minor, under pressure?
