  1. Welcome from California Toby. You got me wondering about Gettysburgh... (I used to work in SoCAl and Compton was one of my sites) heh heh heh I am sure you will enjoy your truck and have lots of fun with her. The guys and gals here are a great bunch of people. We got folks from the Philippines, to Australia, a jump up to New Zealand and a skip over to Chile, up to Brazil, Mexico, the U.S. and Good Ol' Canada Eh! Oh I forgot the Former U.S.S.R heh heh! Anyway I mean to say there is vast knowledge here as well as camaraderie and a little bit of hecklin... once you get to know folks. Come on in, pull up a chair and grab a beer!
  2. DUDE they are SOOOO back in here in the San Francisco Bay Area!!! The only change is the vans now have 22 inch rims and it's mostly the hip hop crowd that drives them now. But same visor on the windshield, same side fiberglass running boards, same custom side windows, etc etc! I am telling you, maybe not the rest of the Country, but California (Bay area and SoCal) they got some weird reocurring fads out here. Pathy's however are timeless!
  3. Fellows, porque DOS FILTROS ? mejor que UN FILTRO? Just to hold a little more o que???
  4. Gracias Beastie. Going on your tip I fond yours which are Deutsch made for 94 in a light tint and some LUND made ones (they say AVS) for 64 in smoke. any one else have either one of these? also a bug deflector (I like the look on Nunya and Edicer2's trucks )
  5. DID YOU GUYS NOTICE OUTSIDE THE USA, places like Canada, Oz, NZ, etc it's letters out and in the USA it's letters in!?!? We did letters out in the 60's 70's and early part of the 80's. I am sure letters out will come back to the U.S. what with this big trend of 15 year old kids wearing 70's and 80's clothing, hair cuts, driving around 78 z-28's and other stuff i remember from when I was growing up. ids wearing Ramone's Dead Kennedy's Black Flag, Black Sabbath t-shirts! so i think in 5 years the U.S. will be white letters out, but for now, black is better, look cleaner.
  6. I think I am not but I think I may pass by Santa Cruz over the long weekend.. I will keep you posted. Not sure ye, tell your buddy i want that brush guard if he still has it, next month for sure, (for me to go and pick it up).
  7. Good job brotha! I am looking forward to the review and then I can get my own copy. I will most definitely get out there soon, I have to get used to driving a stick first! hah ha hah but I have been riding motorcycles since 17 so i think after day 1 jitters I will master shifting the Pathy. Then we can hit some trails!
  8. any U.S. sources for the wind deflectors (in channel) that let 'air in and keep the rain out'? amy preferred brands? I figure in channel is better but if you feel otherwise let me know and if you like yours etc... i know of ventshade but I know there are other sources.
  9. NO worries, we'll go later. I will just hang around here and go walk the dogs in the many creeks and trails here. Take the wife out to Dinner for her Birthday / Wedding Anniversary!
  10. yeah i thought i was getting my Pathy tomorrow and after going over the bills, i have to wait until next week, and even then, I doubt I will have the money to register it... and i was hoping to spend a $150 on a stereo... so i guess count me in but two months from now heh heh just to be sure....
  11. Count me in for meets and greets. I am in Pleasanton, still Bay Area, but close to hi 5 and Manteca, and I can also take the 605 to the 87 to SANTA CRUZ or the 5 to the 152 for Hollister, and I used to live in Rancho Cucamonga, so I am down for any SoCal meets, especially if we do a nice big one! Of corse I need a little notice, but it should be good!
  12. Money changes (unexpected bills) and so my Vegas trip is cancelled. (10 hour drive from San Francisco). I still have Thursday and Friday off and need to get out of the house. I should have the Pathy picked up by then so I really wanted to A, drive it on a little road trip, B see what the wheeling is like and C go camping with the wife... So.... Hollister Hills SVRA (in California) is only about 1.30 hours from here and I was hoping someone knew if there was available camping during the Labord Day weekend. Or even before, since I am off on Thurs and Friday.... I can camp those two days and avoid the big crowds. If it's open I would love to meet any other Pathy owners out there, or on the way! Gus.
  13. Nice, clean truck Phoenix! I wouldn't mind one my self, you got the goodies too, the sunroof and extended cab. Nice! I see you are painting your rear passenger flare, what did you use? Regards, Gus Padron.
  14. Seeing that it happened to Steveo here, maybe we can be proactive and figure out a simple weld on mod / cage (even under the vehicle) that would protect the footwell? When I first saw the head on collision picture, it made me feel good, because it did the job perfectly, crumple zones worked perfecty, and look at the windshield and even the driver window, not broken, which means the inpact stayed in front of the passager compartment... That is what they were designed to do! Then I read Steve's post and think, maybe if hit at an angle the geometry does not work as well... (which is not mandated by the government (YET)). BUt then, like on alot of the Jeeps I saw and even on my brother's 68 camaro, you can reinforce the area with some tubing, and create a subframe if you will, or a mini cage.... I remember Jeep guys would tie in their side rock bars (sliders) with plates and bolts through the floorpan and onto a cage, so it became one solid unit. Maybe we can weld up some bar or even flat steel under the footwheel and to the frame, or to a tranny mount (I do not know the vehicles enough yet to know what goes where)... I would just hate for my passanger (or myself) to get our legs messed up if we did not have to. Any ideas? All you custom fab guys and gals? mine is (will be) a 90 Pathy 4 door FYI, so I do not know if there is any kind of reinforced area in the footwell.
  15. Hi team! Still have not picked up my Pathy. Get paid on Monday (was hoping today) will go and pay off the rest and pick it up and go get it registered etc... Anyway, i remember reading some folks would get a MAP light from a 95 WD21 and put it on their 90. Something about the wiring already being there just neeed the part... Well there is a guy on craigslist getting rid of his 94 Pathy and is selling odd bits for cheap, so I figured if he has it, I can get it... but I don't even know where it goes... Does the 90 4 door NOT have a map light? Anyone got pics? Cheers, Gus. In my advanced search for pics I saw lots of mods for overhead consoles, troubleshooting some lights, but not this simple mod.
  16. Make a bigger post of that run because I (depending on finance and other things, and a few other NorCal guys may make the trip up to Washington... (if not this year, definitely next year for the MR JIM RUN !!
  17. search for a post about some thing about removing the bezel and clean out some contacts and it makes all the lights come on... I am sure some one will chime in...
  18. I asked recently and was told to search but also got some great advice right away. Here is the scoop, the factory amps will work with your aftermarket stereo but if you leave them inline then you cannot crank your stereo up to much as the amps ALSO amplify the sound and you will get loud music (good thing) bad thing is as you increase the sound in your aftermarket stereo the sound will become distorted. Most folks say wire your stereo straight to the factory speakers and if you got the funds upgrade the speakers. Some folks will use the existing amps with stock or aftermarket speakers and use the sub out to wire a separate amp for their bass. anyway run a search and they have lots of stuff, links to diagrams, pictures, etc.
  19. They say I'D RATHER BE IN CANADA eh! in big letters and there is an upside down U.S. flag heh heh he I know it's a late reply but in my mind it's hecka funny!!! muaha ha ha ha (evil laugh)
  20. i have searched and searched and will be doing my own install thanks to you guys and will bypass the stock amps (unless i find a stock radio somewhere). p.s. are there any mods on the removal of the ashtray either for more radio / electronics room or for a cupholder set up somehow? I would not mind going double din but I will have to check and see what is behind the ashtray. Also I know there is an abs module or some amp below the radio on some pathy's can you guys tell by looking at my pciture if i even have that lower case? eventually i want a fixed cb in that dash somewhere... Anyway on Jeeps we went pioneer since they handled the vibration when playing cd's and most of the pioneers had a hideaway cd slit so no dust got in there. Now I do not know what brand to get for the Pathy. I am looking to spend $200 or less, i like PIoneer but am open to suggestions, i am looking for tweaking features. I liked pioneer since it has lots of customizable features with bass and treble control etc and you can really customize it to match the speakers and the cabin. later i will get speakers just doing things little at a time
  21. With that in mind fellas, since jeeps had round headlights they sold aftermarket replacement light (housings) that you couls stick an h3 bulb into. THe Pathy lights at first look like a standard square light, so don't they sell hollow square lights to stick anh3 bulb into? or are Pathy lights special? (special shape)? back years ago one of my buddies from the Army had an isuzu amigo and he put some square headlights that had a black metallic screen inside the glass so when off it looked almost all black... then it went to regular when you turned on the headlights. I know I am talking opposites from clear light housings (soundds like what you mentioned above in plastic?) to a black out headlight.. but I am just considering options....
  22. Well let's get it cracking. I can deposit $60 bucks towards Mr Jim's Pathy. I can do it Monday. I can do it through my BofA account and they will deposit it electronically to any other bank or I can walk into a wamu or whatever you guys decide and deposit it that way. Again I am real happy for mr Jim and am also glad he has moved on to a more peaceful place and it shows in those pics. I haven't been here a month but already got plans for my 90 path and meet some folks that I look forward to wheeling with and even got some Pathy Terrano folks who have offered us all a nice play to stay should we ever make it to their neck of this great world. You gotta love it. I came from a big Jeep Wrangler Community and I am loving this NPORA since we are more inclusive to the whole model years, not just some small range. Mister Jim, enjoy your peace brother, and we hope your get your truck back soon. I am heading up the highway 5 / 99 / highway 1 next year with my wife and my dogs and going camping and wheeling all the way to Canada! (well maybe not all the way unless I get a real nice vacation heh heh heh (or drive like a bat out of hell!)
  23. Welcome Rockie Mountain Al! (we give you a name here too!) I get my Pathy in a week or two, 132k miles 91 SE v6 4x4. Glad to have you and looking forward to you sharing some of that do it yourselfer attitude. I too hope to do some of my own work and these bung of guys and gals have a wealth of knowledge! So put up some pics, some posts and Go Niners!!
  24. If they (or I) put tint on that rear quarter window that says pathfinder (i think it is a factory sticker) anyway that window to me looks factory lightly tinted as that reflective mirror like coating... if i put black tint on that will that look 'whacked?' will it not match the rest of the tinted windows? I need to know soon since it may get tinted tomorrow. here is a picture let me know. is there a way to peel off that silver mirror like stuff?
