I just built a bumper for my rig. The factory POS brackets went in the garbage!!!! What the hell are those supposed to do? Might as well have no bumper at all! I understand the whole aborbing the impact theory... but wholly crap! those things are nothing but decoration. I made new 1/4" ones and welded them to the frame. I cut some holes in them so they would crush under impact...(from a car, not a shopping cart!) I'm eventually going to put on a winch, so I had to at least make something that wouldn't tear off the front end. Anyways... good luck with you project man! I would deffinitely consider running it by a good welder though. tinfoil bumpers aren't good! Take Care, Clay

-They're small - lightweight w/ a V6 -Bulletproof engines/tranny/xfer case/diffs -6" full tube frame not C-channel -Ladder bar suspension -the IFS has a very narrow center and lots of travel -wheel base - take off and come down angle. -Mine has manual hubs which I like - I've got brand new Mile Markers on the way!!! YAY! Let's face it if you don't drive a pathy you're just an uncool mental patient! LOL! Clay

Actually I'll be doing a set-up lickitty split for my pathy here.... I use the rear bumper for an air tank and use an el-cheapo compressor. I'll take some pics after I get it built. Cheaper pumps are lower Amperage(good) which also equals lower cfm(bad)... but if you only have to maintain pressure in a tank... you have a large built up supply to handle the big initial hit - i.e re-inflating a tire pushed off it's rim. And, You can always top your tank up at the shop.... don't have to make the little guy do it all. Clay

Right on!!!! Icelanders!... They're all friggin Crazy! BTW Clayton Goodman = Clayton Claytonson Goodmundson

Great! Thankyou! I was kinda suspicious about that fill plug in the side of the tranny - it is really low. I'll put'er up on my ramps. I'm a big amsoil fan as well.... I throw in a little Lucas, it seems to really work well and keep the seals intact. Thanks for the info guys! Next time I'll check the search first... forget sometime's though. Clayman

I'm Lacking an owners manual and the local Nissan dealerships sucks! ... The service dept. does anyways. Could someone please tell me the oil weights for the tranny Manual 5 speed and the diffs ? Thankyou in advance! Clay

Exhaust is done! 2.5" all the way back... ally-ooped the Cat, and threw on a cherry bomb turbo... sounds pretty good! Thanks for all the warm welcomes! I'll make sure to take some before and after shots! Starting to run out of cash and time.... might be a a week or so before I get some more done on it. The lawnmower beckons.... along with the oldlady and her dang honey-do list. Take Care, Clay P.s. From Red Deer, Alberta - Previously ... Kingston Ont. ... Comox - B.C. ...

Oh geez! It's a 1987 V6 5spd 2 door- all Black w/ grey int. It has a solid motor and a brand new tranny and transfer case - as in new zinc shiny! I bought it off a crack-head... his old lady payed for the new tranny. Ya gotta love crack-heads eh! Yup, I checked the title - it was legit and wnet through the whole vehicle for forbidden substances... all clear! TC, Clay

Hey, How's it goin everyone! Just bought myself a piece of a Pathy for $200! Here's the list: No electrical except ignition - fixed coolant leak - fixed Sway bar links broken - fixed New moog bushings all round - most were shot - had to weld some gr8 washers over the strut rod mounts - holes were stretched. broken axle - fixed No exhaust - Gonna make one no O2 sensor - gonna fix 1 dead tire- other 3 brand new 1 hub lock missing - need one if anyone has one !!!!! Well for $200 bucks I figured what the heck! I'm probably going to tear it apart and rebuild it all anyways. Then I'm going to beat the hell out of it and break it anyways... so repairing stuff isn't a problem - being a welder helps too! Lookin forward too talking with you guys might need some tech. info - had a couple nissans before - they don't always make stuff simple for ya do they! Take Care, Clay
