  1. Well....if the owner inquires and says it belongs to him, tell him you can ship it for free if he's willing to pay the stupidity taxes on not securing an almost $1000 item in the back of his vehicle.
  2. I bet you she's in that 1/3 of US.......the one that isn't on the map that South Africa....er.....Irac.....er.....whatever America......er.....uumm....what were we talking about again?!?!?!?!??!?!? Denis
  3. I agree that this Forum is no worst than any other for not replying. I think the only reason this topic was brought up was to bring to our attention (the regulars anyway) that it is curtious to add a reply to a fix so we have a reference for next time someone has a similar problem. We probably notice the "no reply to a fix" in topics because we are here frequently trying to help others and curious if their issues were re solved. It is gratifying to hear that you helped a fellow Pathy owner who lives half way across this planet and I think that's what makes this site feel more familly like. As for the fighting and bickering.....have you ever seen a familly that doesn't have bickering and fighting......
  4. I'm guessing a full Size pickup. Possibly GM, not sure who else has 8 lugs. Was it flat? If so, it's possible someone swapped it on the trail and then lost it out the box due to not securing it properly (not the brightest move considering the probable cost of the tire and rim). Good find for you, now you just need to get lucky 4 more time to get the complete set.
  5. True enough, I've been out with the "unofficial" Jeep club a few times(some of my friends are in the Jeep club and it can't be an official Jeep meet if "others" are with them). I have heard the initial "hmmm....stock Pathfinder....okidoki" comments that turn into later....."wow, I'm surprised you could make it through there and tow us out" coments. Ah just writing that gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside And another thing is the space in the back seat. You've got to go pretty far to see a passenger car(even full size) have as much leg room in the back seat as the WD21.
  6. But you've got to think outside the box Pezzy
  7. I agree 100%. I realise after buying my last vehicle that I should have gone back in model years and bought a Pathy instead of the Ice cream delivery truck I bought (nice and shinny, but not really a true 4X4). One thing I am kinda curious about is if all Pathys are that addictive or just the WD21s. Now before the R50 owners jump at me here. I typically pay more attention to the WD21 posts because I know them best and I'm not saying this because I want to runn them down. If that was the case I'd be saying that 4 doors are more addictive than two doors.......oops did I say that out louud? I'm just curious, is there as much loyalty amongst R50s as amongst WD21 owners?
  8. Sorry, but I did 3 of my last trucks myself, two with the Walmart brand and one with the 3M or similar quality stuff and only the two Walmart brands turned purple. These were company vehicle washed with the same window cleaner brand used for the last ten years to clean the windows on our machines, so I have to blame the crappy tint for turning purple......however although I manged to do a fairly decent job on the tints, there were slight inperfections and a couple of specs of dust. If I would have paid to get it done, it would have come out perfect because they probably would have redone them.
  9. I've done mine myself before, but I bought the professional stuff, along with proper solution (cleaning and installation)and used a stainless steel blade in my cutter (this will eliminate scratches on your window when you cut the tint). It makes the world of difference. I must add that I've never attempted front side windows (illegal in my area), but I hear that they are a BIATCH to do, due to the fact that they slide. The only thing is, if you don't know anyone that does tinitng, it will probably cost you as much just for the tint and yes, the Walamrt stuff is junk. It turns purple over time and if not installed properly will bubble and look like crap. So my advice, unless you really want to learn, is find a car windshield repair shop and get them to do it for you, or buy the good stuff from them. Denis
  10. Welcome to bestest Pathfinder site in the whole fandangle world........
  11. I agree 100%. We try our best with the knowledge we have to help people on the board. In some instances it might be a similar symthom with a totaly different fix. If no one answers "yes it fixed my prob" or "no it didn't" (although a no usually brings another question) we have to assume the initial prognosis was correct. I know once a problem's been solved we all want to go try our mended pathy around the block, trail, over an anoying neighbour's car but, once you've gotten this out of your system, go on-line and ..... 1. Thank the person trying to help you (still cheaper than a mechanics bill) 2. let us know what was wrong and if there were any variances in steps taken to fix, parts used, etc. Denis

    Wrecked

    Sorry about your luck, glad to see everyone is OK. Personaly I think insurance companies should take recent repairs into consideration, although they'll probably chock it up to regular maintenance that is needed on an older vehicle. See what they give you for either repairing or replacing it and check your local used car magazines before accepting a money transfer. If it's less than the average Pathy of same shape, age, mileage is going for, then fight with them to get more. Who knows, they might offer better than you'd expect right from the start. Good luck and let us know how you make out! Denis
  13. Looks like you were a better negociator than her Welcome aboard!
  14. Hey is the Titan yours also? I would so love to have one of those when I grow up!
  15. Welcome to the forum....cool pics!
  16. Sounds like one of your hubs is not dissengaging making the other one chatter. If you take them off and grease them it might fix your problem (don't overgrease them tho). If you e-mail me at htdbour@hotmail.com, I've got the manual in PDF format I can send you. As for having your hubs looked all winter. I wouldn't worry to much about doing it. You might decrease your gas milleage, but it probably won't be that noticible and some say it's harder on CV boots, but that depends on how much sharp turning you do (parking lots and such). I had auto hubs go bad on me (bad clutches), I locked them permanantly and drove my pathfinder for 2 years with the hubs locked, without seeing any problems. Denis
  17. Don't mind him, Pezzy's rubbing off on him Welcome to the forum, nice to see another NBer come on board!
  18. Happy Bday fellow Canuckian! and Happy Not your Bday Pezzy!
  19. I don't get stuck and use the front hooks to pull out Jeeps and see their owners faces when they get dragged across the mud holes OK, ok, I've been known to get stuck and I usually use a hitch receiver with a loop welded on. Denis
  20. I agree with GhostPath.....to some extent. It sounds like they would have taken the light/socket out, but why would there be no silk screening in the light insert?!?!?I don't think they're removable. Maybe someone with a 92 could confirm that this is actually the spot for the check engine. If it is, then you need to investigate further and fix the prob. Specially if you get a check engine light on.
  21. Not sure if the throttle body had the same issue as the WD-21s, but it could be your problem. Is it just when you use your cruise? You should notice some sticking even without the cruise, if this is your issue. On a side note, you can always try to clean it and see. It's not that big of a job. Denis
