unccpathfinder

Sweet...I posted that on here some time ago...there is a forum on rcnt for the development of the t finder...I was able to pick this up Some day I will make it a scaler

Ill kick it off...unccpathfinder Replacement...ill need a resize please... http://i1213.photobucket.com/albums/cc480/unccpathfinder2/TOTM/IMG_1814-1-1.jpg

Mine was solid...but the rock was harder...I have little to no rust on my truck... You could use a crows foot to torque it but most stuff I use the German torque spec...read aloud...gutentite (good n tight)

I bet my pm's r full...email me next time...unccpathfinder at gmail dot com....definitely planning a URE trip sometime this year...my truck is still worse for wear from MOAB but as soon as we get in this house I will be able to work on it...plus me and my jeep buddy (the one with me at the NOAS event) are trying to build a sas'd hardbody or shortened 2 door over the next year...I'm working for bad boy buggies now so.I'm hoping to get one to take out there too...if we don't make it there we want to def go to coal creek and there will be a couple trips to gulches but probably not worth the drive for u

U can use any wd21 MT...issue is the speedometer in at least 94-95 is electric not mechanical...the ecu pulls data off of the speedometer in the electric versions but easily avoided by either using the same tx10 from a 94-95 (maybe even some 93's) with any wd21 tyranny...not as familiar with the X stuff but would assume anything off of a vg33 will mount to a vg30 BC its essentially the same block

I had issues for about 2 months...all stemming from this... Finally found some bearing races to weld on and cleaned up all the surfaces BC I had originally rewelded on the inside of the cup and it causes the bushings to fail...I had also straightened and rewelded the bent part above...about 20 good whacks with a 5lb got.her back in place

No prob...I did it before...

Nice write-up...I al sways do mine with wheels on the ground so I don't have to fight it...an fyi the bushing retainer in the last pic is on backwards...it will cut into the bushing and damage it if it's a left that way over time...compare to first pic

Thanks for posting results...makes me feel accomplished sometimes

Its all good...she had to take care of the baby and I was getting too far ahead and instead of changing (those were good clothes before the end of this) she got her side done without getting hurt so I can't complain...I'm the one that leaks all over everything

As posted from the front doors fwd the body's will interchange from 86.5-95 Pathfinders and I think something like 86.5-97 hardbodys...all the green is off of my 95 and all the white is my 86.5

Mine likes to go...she has a 95 pathfinder that we still have to get modded to do anything serious but for now it will allow her to figure out wheeling...we haven't been together in over a year BC of our son but hopefully soon. She learned how to do the timing belt the first week we had her truck and she changed the brakes on her own so its always a plus to.have them wrench on their own stuff...we both have our dream builds too so that's a plus as well

Back nut is like a 22...i use a box wrench and patience...remove it forest then remove the other 2...I found it better to leave it sitting on the ground and don't turn the steering wheel at all BC then that makes it fun to get back together....use 3/8" drive extensions to help align things back up and prob have a good pry bar...the first one i did took 2 hrs...now I can change both sides out in about 15-20 mins...I've got practice now

Cannonball run was my first move to ca from nc....made 2 drives there in less than 3 days

hoses...belts...oil...spare tire...tent...food...water...how big of a trailer are you hauling? my last trip from CA to SC was quite the event with a 24 hr closure of I40 for a sand storm...tornadoes in Arkansas...flooding in nashville...a flat tire in alabama with no spare (luckily between 2 quick stops i was able to plug it and continue on my merry way) so i drove for 400 miles with signs saying I-40 was closed...when we got there I passed 20 miles of tractor trailers parked double file on the side of the highway...where the state troopers turned us around i stopped at the next exit up and me my gf and her 2 kids camped there for the night

harbor freight sells a decent vice grip attach dial indicator for checking backlash... yes clamping on mating surfaces is bad but it was the only one i could get to work and i knew the RTV would fill any scratches but don't recommend it

looks good...like nunya i'm not a huge fan of the shaved lights but hey to each their own...the fab work is awesome...the only other question i have is do you have provided a way to use a hitch in the front receiver...keep up the good work

you have a ~20-22 gallon tank...these trucks are notorious for having stupid fuel gauges...the gf's 95 will go to E after about 50 miles or so but still have 17 or so gallons left in the tank... just saw that you're in a 97 so the R50 is a lil different than the WD21 but still pretty sure you have more than a 10 gallon tank

hopefully soon...so far I can't see where it's too heavy...or at least the power to weight ratio seems to be pretty damn good...I've only used one onsite...i want to take one to Gulches or URE for a weekend after I get the pathy back to roadworthy status and we will go out in both to see which one breaks first...my vote is the pathy BTW to not complete thread jack...nice work on the idler arm brace

"Death wobble" won't happen on an ifs vehicle...its a phenomenon on solid axle vehicles...check for mud caked in wheels or lost wheel weights...do the inspection as stated above and you should be able to find something

Hopefully ill be sas'd soon and onto testing bigger and better things but for now band aids and ace bandages is my queue...but this is my day to day now...they haven't let me beat on one the way i want yet...but very soon but so far its taken my abuse

Welcome...I'm from fayettenam...went to school at UNCC and now live in SC

Build 2...send me one of those and ill let you know how bulletproof it is...1 weekend I guarantee ill break something be it a spindle, a-arm, steering box or steering component...whatever the next weakest link is

its not in my truck nor an option for me here in the states...and it still could be a light that's not used in the IP anyways hopefully you got it figured out

I would guess something to do.with temp...is it a diesel and that's the wait to start? A pm c would be more helpful...if u turn the flash on u can probably get a good view of it
