Yeah... The two teens were in the cargo hold. Still went up those steep steep hills with ease.

Hey all, I have not posted here in quite a while. Not since I sold the Pathfinder some 14/15 months ago for a Maxima. Anyways, I took a vacation to the Dominican Republic (home country) and borrowed a Diesel 98 Terrano. This thing was a beast, I felt bad about having sold the Pathfinder. Anyways, on my last weekend there I took a trip to the mountains that was just INCREDIBLE. I loaded the truck with 7 people. 4 adults, 2 teens and a my 7yr old and headed out. This thing did not flinch. I was unable to take pics of the really tough places cause I was more preoccupied but this pics should show what I went through. I'm telling you this thing on 4LO and the rear diff locked is just another vehicle. Unbelievable the places I took it. Anyways here are the pics. FYI, as soon as I came back I sold the Maxima and am awaiting delivery of a 2008 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off Road. Pics: A nice waterfall we found on the way: The only other way to get around other than a tough 4x4 Not sure if you can see the trail in the background

GOT IT

I'm saying... Love the Max, but I was at this state park the other day. I could have driven straight to the lake to fish. But noooo... I gotta park 1 mile away and walk the rest of the way, because there is no way the Max can make it through that freaking nasty trail.... 94-95 would be more money. Looking to spend 1-2k... Let's see the need is not pressing, it will something where I look and look till I find the right one.

Here is a pic of what she was... Maybe I should have never dug up that folder.

Well., I have been missing my pathfinder alot lately. Don't get me wrong I love driving the Maxima, but the Pathfinder gave me a feeling of roughness I no longer have on the Max. A feeling of I could care less where I go cause my vehicle will take me there in any weather condition. Oh well., what can I say... Sadness and regret is what I feel. I think its time I buy a beater. I though about buying a pickup, but figure an older Pathy might serve the same purpose. What do you guys think? 91-92 4x4 5spd. Can the rear seats be taken off and the whole back be made of rugged plastic to haul stuff? My next car will once again be a rugged SUV... Not because I need it, but because I like the way it makes me not care about where I go. Maybe that sounds gay. Just venting... :confused:

+1

That happened to me once and it was my alternator...

Love that feature. Have only had it in my last two cars, Pathy and Max. Don't know how I lived without it. Fix it.

Well.., been proved wrong. RWD VQ35 have the issue as well. 350Z Oil Consumption

Check on Maxima.org... I spend alot of time there.

A new oil burning fellow showed up today. Lost 2.5 quarts in 2 months. I think it might be more a Maxima thing. I guess different implementations. My old R50 did not burn and it was a VQ35 and you are hearing nothing of this with the RWD implementations like the Infiniti's..

Well... you know I got a Maxima. Got an 01 and sometimes glad. Because they are alot of people with the VQ 3.5 on the 02-03 Maxima's with oil consumption, SOME massive. Nissan has even changed out a few of the Motors. Makes me happy I got the VQ 3.0... But sometimes wish I would of spent the extra couple of k... for the more power. But oh well.

Well., glad I sold mines when I did.

I ordered from http://www.myoilshop.com/ and they were great... All they sell is RedLine though. I changed the oil on my MT (not a Pathy, a Maxi),. The car shifts so much smoother now... It is just incredible how smooth it is.
