  1. Rockauto.com and Weathertech.com both claim to have them available.
  2. I've never done it on an R50 but, if you cannot get it out, then will pushing it all the way up and wedging or painters taping it up, give you the clearance you need to get the regulator out?
  3. Seems like I remember 88pathoffroad warning to never touch the screw, because the odds of screwing it up were way higher than any minimal improvement you may make. I'm thinking that his warning came from personal experience, but I may be wrong. I'm also not sure if it was here or on his old/long gone forum or both /tonsofhelp
  4. Everything's back to normal now... minus the slightly over powered rear brakes...?
  5. Okay Summer, you had a good run but it's time to move along now!

  6. Not sure if this will work, but let try and get B's attention here as he was a 720 guy before Pathfinders. Calling @Precise1 for some advice!!!
  7. Please see the following thread dedicated to /\ Chrisco's /\ issues...
  8. Evicted a group of squatter bee's from the rear hatch!
  9. I understand and agree with what your saying as people on this forum are normally pretty mellow and not looking to cause problems, but I would also guess that you probably don't go around posting your address all over the web either. You are of course free to do so, we just don't require or directly recommend it here. As for the off chance someone grabs the negative attention of a nut job, why make it any easier for them? Besides, I think that it's also fair to say that there are a number of them out there without the ability or patience to track someone down to an exact location. There are other, less paranoid, reasons as well. I personally was tracked down once via the original NPORA website. It was years ago, before I was part of the staff, before the current website and before the Member Map existed, but nonetheless it happened. Almost 10 years ago when we rolled out the new NPORA website the info that allowed that to happen was changed, for good or bad. In that case I was contacted via email by family I had not heard from in years and in that instance it was welcomed. However, today I have other family which I would prefer that they not just show up on my doorstep unannounced, if I put a pin on my house that could just happen. But again, placing it at your doorstep, city center or not at all is the choice of each NPORA Member.
  10. Just noticed that members did not have permission to add a map marker But it's been corrected now, so please go ahead and let us know here your at! And remember, we would never suggest that you drop a pin directly on your house, in the middle of the city you live in is cool and close enough.
  11. These would have been fiberglass and given that I worked for this company around 20yrs ago, maybe I am mistaken. The way I described it above is what I recall being told by the owner (it was a two man shop, the owner and I) but perhaps TM bought the product line from Lund before killing it off?
  12. Your most likely down to finding a used one, because I don't think anyone is still making them for WD21's anymore and likely have not for some time. Watch eBay, check wrecking yards regularly, scan Craigslist, etc... There were two companies that I can think of that used to make these visors in the 80's/90's. Lund was probably the best known, As for the second I do not know what their name was, but iirc it was Trailmaster who bought them out years ago (maybe mid-late 90's) and ultimately killed off the product line entirely. Only reason I know this is because I used to work for a company that made them for the original company and after TM's acquisition of them, we were just waiting for TM to officially tell us to destroy the molds. They had stopped production of them before I started there and the molds were still in storage long after I left.
  13. This is a subject that does not get much discussion here... To be honest, I've never used them on my WD21. Your profile says that you're in Nevada, if you are in the Western or Northern area's of the state I would suggest you head to a Les Schwab and talk with them about it. Here in the PNW they always have a good supply of chains on hand. One bonus of buying from LS is that if you do not use them, they can be returned in the spring for a full refund. If nothing else you can get an idea of what they recommend for your area and then head to a parts store (& some department stores) and see what comparable chains go for.
  14. Not sure if Compression Rods (not to be confused Torsion Bars) are available aftermarket, I have personally never seen any. I got my replacements from a wrecking yard. If yours need replaced then odds are pretty good that it's because the bushing cups are damaged and you will need to fix that or it will just destroy the new rods you install. 5th Bolded line in first post Front shock length does not change with T-Bar lift on WD21's. Also consider Superlift/Rough Country UCA's, they are less expensive than Calmini and other than a single bad production run years ago (which they more than willingly corrected for buyers), there seems to be less debate about the fit and quality.
  15. What are you using to browse from your phone? Never having been a fan of tapatalk myself I use a web browser, typically Chrome, but also Edge and sometimes the Bing browser in the Bing app. On both the standard mobile view and the (preferred by me) Desktop View, the Star/Dot method work fine. One thing that I noticed after the upgrade was that all threads were marked read on both this account and my test account. Is that perhaps what is happening to you? Look for a thread with new posts (Bolded Title) that you absolutely know you have read prior new posts in since the June 24 forum move and major update, then click the Star/Dot icon and see if it works. If you use a browser I suggest that you zoom in on the icon first, just to eliminate the chance that you accidently hitting the title as well as the icon.
  16. Your clicking the thread titles right? Instead click the Star or Circle/Dot to the left of the title. It will be a Star if you have posted in the thread or a Circle if you have not.
  17. 17hr day, not thinking straight so forgive if I am stupid ...Air gets by the bleeder valves? Tried replacing them too? And yes you can use Teflon tape on them or at lease I have in the past (not the Pathfinder) and never had a problem. If air is getting by them under vacuum, then it's reasonable that air is getting into the system because of them too.
  18. Perhaps a picture of what your looking for/what is missing would be helpful. Have you headed to local wrecking yards to browse around for what you need?
  19. You may find that just charging the system will meet your needs for the summer, may even do the trick for a few summers, but ultimately you will need to find and correct the coolant loss in the long term.
  20. Moved the original post 8 into the 2nd post position. This will allow us to keep information at the top of topic and easily accessible for all by editing Posts 1 & 2 with ongoing information.
  21. As long as it's spec'ed to fit a WD21 87-95 it should be fine. Got mine from a wrecking yard for... $50, I think... was a long time ago. You'll need a converter for the lights as well, 4-pin converters are not that expensive and not too hard to install either. Not sure, but if they made different class hitches for WD21's (not really sure why they would have bothered with anything other than a 2in) but if they do and your going to install one, just go Class lll (2in) don't risk needed it after going with something of lower capacity.
  22. So I don't really know why I never asked this before, as it's one of the things I normally check and verify myself, but a resolution post in another thread reminded me... Have you pulled the drums and visually check that everything was good on both sides of the back end. Are the adjusters working property, shoes, springs, levers, etc in good shape... or pads if they are disks. Is it possible that one of there rear cylinders/calipers seals are bad and sucking air back in when brakes are cycled?
  23. Well that really stinks... maybe it's just being overlooked, so perhaps if we keep this thread active someone will notice it!
