  1. The good thing about this type of extractor (the last type I used) is that once you have the stud drilled (PITA) you can tap the extractor into the stud with a hammer to seat it before you try to back it out. I would say it's the only type I would ever use or recommend again. My set was nearly identical, but I know it wasn't matco.

  2. So you're the one that ran over my chicken! I live on a gravel country road and lost one in a 1978 accident. . If you cann't drive an auto...stay out of farm areas.

    I murdered the clutch in the farm fields before I attempted the gravel road. Even as a new driver, I knew better than to hit the brakes on gravel for a chicken!

  3. I bought my last 4wd Pathfinder with a rear locker, sliders, TJM bull bar, headers, 138K miles and 6 BFG 33x12.5 muds for $1000. A little bit of work and I let her go for $1600. Definitely a beat up trail rig, but $1600 is still super cheap. Sell the 2wd to someone who wants a DD and buy a built truck. They're out there and can be had cheaper than a nice looker. I only gave $3200 for the truck in my sig. I added a Lockright, 4.6 gears, front LSD and a complete set of new tires for another $1200. It was nice and shiny when I bought it, but if you want to wheel you shouldn't worry about that. I have AZ pinstriping up and down and all around. I also have a nice reminder of why I bought the locker. It's a 2' gouge down the driver door that could have been prevented with a traction aid.

  4. 1978 Toyota N30 pickup AKA "The Brown Turd". Funny that it's not the first "poo" colored vehicle on the list. I hit a chicken on my first drive (gravel road in the country). I really learned to drive in a 1987 Honda Accord. She went to 350,000 miles and was sold running and driving. Every vehicle I've ever owned for more than a few months has been a manual. I honestly get confused when driving an automatic. Clutch reflex + fat brake pedal = new pants for passengers and tailgaters.

  5. I think with Secret Satan, you would give out everyone's wishes and addresses to the Satans. Then they would have to go and make that person's wish just a little more unattainable. For example: B has a new LED light bar and needs a relay kit. The Satan would go out to his house and steal the light bar.

  6. Is there going to be a Secret Santa this year? I know I haven't been around and it's late, but I'm selling a Pathy today and thought I should come back and see what you net wheelers were doing.

  7. You might as well Seafoam that beehotch after you have replaced the booster. It should clean out the brake fluid and you get to have the fun smoke show for the neighbors. I've got a spare for my truck that I'm willing to part with, but I'm not sure if the VG30E booster is the same as the KA24E.

  8. I learned my lesson early and started reversing the LCA bolts. Sure makes the diff job easier the next time around. Funny thing is that I only had to grind them shorter on my WD21 and not on the D21. Both had the VG30. You guys are :gay:

     

    Edit: You don't really have to grind the bolts down. Extra washers on the front side of the bolt will do the trick. Seriously though, F*** pulling that front diff.
