Hey I'm 30 minutes south of ottawa and my 93 is probably rusted just as bad as yours. She's been un-plated for almost a year and Im slowly piecing it back together with the advice of people on this forum. All you can really do is cut out the old and weld in new metal. BTW, is your crossmember that connects to the rear axle still attached(the one thats right in front of the rear tires)? Oh and I also refuse to let mine go too.

Kennel is a really good idea. Would also prevent dog fur from getting everywhere and prevent your leather from getting scratched, if you have leather that is. My friend try to put his mutt in my pathy but i just locked the doors so he couldn't get in, didn't want my mint 93SE leather interior ruined.

Does it reduce gas milage?

Does it really matter if its seized like that? Mines been doing it (bus like sounds) for almost a year. Seems to run a bit cooler that way though

Might want to measure first just in case. Before dad gave me the 93 pathy he wanted to see if the legos with 31x10.5's would fit on his 2000 r50. He had just bought new tires for the 93 and wanted to use them as winters. They did NOT clear the front calipers.

My 93 has been having trouble firing up as well. It'll turn over and over and then finally start firing but very rough and you have to give it alot of gas to get it going properly but thats only if its left off for more than a few days. Im going to try some injector cleaner and see if that clears up the problem but hey maybe my ignition is going out as well. :confused:

Hey Im some clueless kid (17) whos revved their engine to 5k rpm a few times but I still respect my truck. And mws said if its been well maintained it'll last forever if you want it too. Oh and yes check for rust, especially on the frame.

Fluid film website you can buy it at most hardware stores like lowes or canadian tire

Here in Ontario Canada the roads are salted like you wouldnt believe...

Ive got one thing to say. Mines worse, that upper control arm mount is broken off.

Oh I've got another question about this frame business. This truck is NOT currently plated for the road. It will have to go through an ontario safety inspection. So is there any possibility of this thing passing it with the frame patched up with plates?

Yeah, my rust in the area where the mount is located is worse than yours and I'd really appreciate any suggestions on how to put in back on.

Is it common for this thing to come off with the pathfinder frame rust? And also, will it be a difficult task to mount it back where it came from?

I found a pic on Slicks webpage that I put arrows on to show which bar fell off the frame. Im currently trying to find some steel so i can re mount it.

Mine does it too, well untill i pulled the A/C belt off and it stopped. Turns out the little tensioner pulley is either just noisy, worn, or needs lube. I figure its the culprit because the a/c belt is the only one with a tensioner on my 93.

The best I can describe it as is a steel tube that is welded to the bottom of the frame with a mount right in front of the rear wheels. If you have a lift you can see it plain as day. Its sitting on top of the exhaust right now and i tried to lift it but its really heavy. I have been slowly cuttin out the other rusty parts and plating it in, but this looks like it'll be the hardest. thanks and i hope that described it better this time.

Anyone got any suggestions how to mount it back up?

So I finally got off my lazy but to fix this thing and now I have a question. The bar that i thought was a cross memeber for the frame that had broken off seems to be connected to the rear axle, is this a vital part of the truck for safety? I don't have any pics but maybe one of you guys knows what im talking about. thanks

Someone should really make a write up for fixing the frames on these things. Im getting and tired of people telling me that frame rust can't be fixed. Ill be getting around to my frame as soon as the darn canadian tire here gets more welding wire spools in. Should keep me busy for the next while.

Will a 70A welder work? I just bought one and hope it will.

Personally, I would let the shop handle it as Im going to. I welded once in high school (still in grade 12 now) but I don't believe that i could actually weld my frame and its crossmember on because i think a shop would do a much better job than i ever could. good luck though as my 1994 is still sitting out back at my buddies untill i have the time/cash to get it fixed.

ive never had that problem at all on my 94 SE

Mine, when it was on the road , a 94 auto will rev at 2800~ at 65 without OD and with OD it dropped to 2100 :o It's better on gas than my dads R50

Yea thats them, there still attached to the frame, thank god, All i gotta do now is fix the rest of the frame.

Are the sway bars those right angled things that you can see if you look at the truck on its side right in front of the rear tires?
