Welcome Justin.. You'll find lots of good info here.

Sorry that I can't offer any help for your problem, but I can welcome you to the forums

Welcome to the boards... now, about those pics?

Must be THIS auction that you are talking about. This seller has a total of 9 autos up on ebay. If you check his/her feedback you'll find a negative regarding an Accord that this person also had for sale.. Who knows who was right, but based on that negative and what you mentioned, it would be safe to consider him a high risk seller to buy from.

Nice shots, as mentioned, thanks for posting! :cool2:

Having been in the market for a while again, I have to ask.. Does she have a sister Seriously, she's a keeper... don't let her get away!

Welcome Jason

Cool pic's, looks like you had a good time.

Cool, easy fix and they still have life left in them

Welcome to you and your '01

Looking good... and a bit late but "Welcome"

LOL yup, as far as I know your light says nothing about it being engaged for not. It just tells you that the lever is in one of the two 4WD positions. My Yota did not have a functioning light for a year or more after I bought it, But I could alway's tell when it was in 4WD. Then one day I decided that it was time the dumb thing worked. Having already tried replacing the bulb, I crawled underneath and checked wiring... I discovered that it had been ripped right out of the connector to the switch... fixed that and have regretted it ever since.. the light is freaking bright! The Paths light works fine, comes on when the transfer case lever is moved to 4WD. If the light is not coming on right away it may vary well be a wiring/switch problem.

I agree, they can be used for many things... Vehicle Recover In place of a car dolly's wimpy strap winch Engine hoist in a pinch - actually it was just used to reposition an engine properly on the mounts.. but still Even used it to remove 1800pr (and smaller count as well) com cable from a conduit I have seen those "4ton" cheapy units at Harbor Freight before.. mine is aging and I have been considering replacing it. But I am almost afraid to pick up one of them.. last thing I need is to have it fail when I need it most. Probably will just spend the little more on one like my current. Anyone have or even have on of the HF models... if so, how are they?

I don't actually know just how different the job is on an R50, but my '88 WD21 was a PITA. My clutch failed (read: Broke, not worn out) and I replaced it myself. New clutch, pressure plate and t/o bearing. Learn from my experience, do it on a concrete floor, like a garage/driveway... not in the dirt/sand with a tarp thrown down like I did. Also rent/buy a transmission jack or tranny jack attachment for a floor jack. This will make life much easier than doing it with a crappy floor jack, a bottle jack, a bunch of wood blocks and as much strength as I could muster! Bottom line... it's a job, but if you do the extras (like acquire tools and location) suitable for the job, it's not that bad.

Anyway... does your warranty on those wires cover that? What brand were they again?

I saw no whoring going on here... it's all on subject

The items below I almost alway's have in the truck... A tool box Small easy to carry bag of tools water, oil, PS and Brake fluid spare water pump/alt v belt come along and a few recovery straps tie wraps and light rope two blankets (one old wool military issue) first aid kit vacuum sealed and compacted TP few other things that escape me right now When I make a "pre"planned trip I toss some other items in aswell.

iirc, that would be Superlift... or at least, they are the same as SL's units (if another company produces them for SL)

Welcome to the all Pathfinder board!

Sunfire? Had enough of the other? lol

With today's wheels I think it basically boils down to which you think looks better... Generally, both will get the job done and both can look good doing it... depends on what you like... Oh and what you can afford. Unless your a serious rock crawler or truck trasher, aluminum will do every thing a steel wheel will do... Aluminum does ussually weights less, but on the other hand (as TrailChaser mentioned) in the off chance that you did bend one on a trail you can "persuade" an steel wheel back to it's general shape.

Looks like you had a blast, I am officially jealous now! :cool2:

Since I have been keeping exact track via log/spreadsheet.. not even a month yet. I have been averaging 18.15mpg. With a low of just over 17 and a high a little short of 21. These are combined town/hwy numbers and based on an average of just under 100 miles per day. Trucks odometer is sitting at 286,802.8 as of this writing. Prior to starting the log I calculated the MPG at each fill up (but did not keep a log).. numbers were 1.5-3mpg lower. However that was prior to the replacement of the O2 sensor.

Welcome Your NG conversion does indeed sound interesting

Welcome.. it sounds like a good project going.
