ILoveMyPatty

Speak However Our Wives Say STAND

Ughhhhhh, I've totally lost the motivation to get my Pathy back on the road. Sighhhh.... Looks like she will be sitting in the yard, next to my other Pathy....

I'll just make a nice MDF spacer that will mount onto the sheet metal that I can mount my 6x9's to. I'm not going for bass, I'm going for clean sound, and the Infinity Reference 6x9's were the best that I heard. I'll post pics of the install.

Kamloops, BC

Okay so, I recently purchased a '94 SE and it has the rear roof components. How is it, making 6x9's fit in there? Surely it can't be too difficult...? Does anyone have some pictures of their setup and how they went about doing this? Also, removal of the headliner seems to be a must for this. I take it all trim and side panels that meet the headliner need to be removes? Seatbelt bolts etc? Is it fairly easy and what kind of timeframe should I expect? Any tricks? Thanks!

I've been looking for the keys for about 5 hours... no luck. I have absolutely no idea where they went. Tires rubbing wont be a big deal, she's still got a 3" BL in 'er and only 31's so it's all good.

What about bumpstops? I just drove my '94 with one t-bar out.....?

Okay, my newly purchased '94 is in need of some different t-bars and another crossmember. I'm wanting to pull the crossmember and t-bars out of my '90 and put the whole setup into the '94. Thing is, I can't find the keys for my '90 right now and was wondering if I pulled the t-bars out anyway, if driving it 50 yards when I find the keys would be fine. Basically.. I can't push or tow my '90 to where it will spend the rest of its life as a parts vehicle. Will it be okay on the front end parts to drive it without t-bars for 50 yards?

I built my own fibreglass tweeter pods for my a-pillars. I hot glued a piece of PVC pipe onto the a-pillar, stretched fabric over the PVC and coated it with fibreglass resin. Sand/bondo/sand/bondo/sand/paint... Here is what mine look like.

Pics here

I bought 4. The $450 included 24 new lug nuts, and mounting/balancing. Also in Canadian funds... dono what the dollar is at right now.

Okay... I've got some pictures that will be coming as soon as I bluetooth them from my phone... They're not the kind of pics I was hoping to upload on here. After swapping over my JGC coils, re-indexing/cranking my t-bars and changing out the LCA link bushings and the drivers side link, I decided I'd drive 'er to work. All was going well until I crossed a cattleguard and my drivers side t-bar popped out of the LCA... how in the HELL did that happen. The c-clip is still in the t-bar at the crossmember... I don't know how this happened but I'm not too pleased. My tire was tucked up in my fender and I got really lucky- no damage to tire, fender or fender flare. I started walking to the closest house (I live in an area with no cell reception). After walking about 2 miles, I stopped in at a house and the lady (who is practically my neighbor) drove me home where I called a tow-truck and had it towed home. Pics soon.....

Ah they'll be minor. I've got the replacement LCA link out already. Probably be a little over an hour of work tomorrow, re-indexing and replacing that link. Then I'll be pulling the body lift out of my '90. Does anyone know how to replace the front door handles? I haven't taken a close look at them, but the drivers side is broken on one side, so ya have to be gentle. Anyone?

The provincial ambulance service has had a few 4x4 ambulances in the northern communities of British Columbia, but they get driven by some idiots and roll a lot easier since they sit taller. As of now, there's only one 4x4 ambulance still in service in BC (which is strange.. because it snows a lot in the winter). The Hellas are nice on the new unit Not as nice as the flashy lights though

ANOTHER WD21! I picked up a 1994 SE 5spd today for $1500. She's got 250km on her. Picked it up cause mine was starting to go downhill and I couldn't keep up with the fixes- she hasn't been road worthy for a year now... The good: It has less wrong with it than my 1990 (AC works, interior lights work, headlights work, exhaust doesn't leak like a sieve, interior which is leather is mint, dash is sexy, the power windows work, IFS components aren't destroyed...), it has a brand new chrome rear bumper too. Along with a 3rd brake light that's super bright and a wind deflector (which broke on mine) The bad: It's got some body damage on the passenger side, drivers front fender is rusty, drivers rear frame is rusted out, drivers LCA link had snapped. Also, the clutch slips a little when I stomp on it going up hills. All of these things will be easy peasy fixes now that I have my '90 as a parts truck As she sits now, I've swapped my JGC coils over and thats it. Tomorrow morning I will be re-indexing my torsions and doing my body lift... then it's off to work where I will swap over my stereo (that's brand new and I just put in the 1990... ugh). I'll have some pics soon.

Out with the old, in with the new!

Negative wire to the negative terminal, positive wire to the positive terminal. And you'll probably want to run an inline fuse just "up-wire" from the pos terminal of the battery.

My other ride. We're getting a new unit in three days Too bad it's a Chevy.

Make sure that they're legal to mount and use in your area. I've been trying to figure out if I can get them on my passenger vehicle for to and from work, since I travel quite a distance over some pretty nasty roads. I'm also a First Responder so it would be nice if I could get them. I've heard that they're illegal here, and I've heard that only Fire Chiefs can use them, in addition to Emergency Vehicles... hmm. Wig-wags are definitely awesome. Easily seen and since they alternate headlight function then they're basically hidden. One of my favorite features of our Ambulances

I didn't know Jared personally, but am saddened by this. It goes to show you how important it is to live like tomorrow may be your last, to be sincere and honest, to love the ones you're with and to be sure to tell the ones you love, that you love them. My sincere condolences go out to Jareds family- I'm greatly sorry for your loss. By the impact he made on this forum with the Pathfinder community I have no doubt that the impact he made in others lives was even greater. Rest In Peace, Jared. May your Pathfinder not have a 3.0L V6 in heaven so you can throw all the mud you want buddy.

The Daytona wheels came out to about $450, that's including mounting, balancing and 24 new lug nuts. The Goodyear Wrangler Territories came out to $600.

I shall do a little search and see what I come up with. Thanks Precise.

Oh it's gonna get fixed. I go to work tonight for 5 days so I wont have any time to work on it but it should be going soon. I'll pick up some washers and some pipe that's close to the diameter of the bushing so my buddy can weld some cups for my frame. Should have it goin' in a little over a week.

No word of a lie, best I've ever gotten was 28mpg. You're all probably thinking "Yeah right, you messed up on the calculation..." I swear to god, I didn't mess up on the calculation, and I recorded how much fuel went in, and recorded the distance traveled to a T. 28mpg. From the Sumas USA/CAN border crossing to Chinook WA, on the coast. That was several years ago...
