  1. Don't go to the Stealership! I got mine at WallyWorld (WalMart) for under $6USD.
  2. Thnxs, it took longer to take and upload the pictures than it did to fix the spoiler....
  3. The thing that gets me with that water to fuel thing is the way it's advertised. In theory it works....we actually use a much larger system here to create hydrogen gas that we use to burn in some small natural gas generators that are used to produce electricity to run some huge pieces of production equipement. BUT....we pump the hydrogen gas into a combustion system desiged to burn a gas, not a liquid/gas(air) system like a car. Do a Google search on Brown's Gas and you'll see some conflicting info. Here's one that's kind of interesting....don't how legitimate it is... Brown's Gas
  4. I hate the front end! It looks like they desinged everyhting but the front end, then slapped something together at the very last minute so it could go to production....But for less than $19K for 200HP and a full warranty for 100,000, i think it was a good deal.
  5. CNN Money is reporting Western europe around $5.00 a gallon USD. They list VENEZUELA around $.14 a gallon USD! You get around 2,000 Venezuela Bolivares per 1 USD. So gas must be less than $500 Bolivar. Then again Venezuela produces a ton of their own gas and the government subsidizes a ton of it too.
  6. No longer drive the Pathy except when wheeling....bought a commuter car....kept it Nissan (Sentra SER SPec-V) 30MPG freeway baby! Rated for 32MPG but only if driven really slow....which is not in my nature....push it really hard i get 28MPG. Works out great since i drive 80 miles a day (75 on the freeway). Pathy was only getting me 13-14 on the freeway since my drive is extremely hilly.
  7. The clips look like a smaller version of what holds the sides of the rear bumper on. They also look like the same clips used to hold door panels on. Just use a screw driver with a rag protecting the truck and pop it off. You'll probably have to get new clips anyway.
  8. Do you have a FSM? I'll look it up and see what it says
  9. AMEN I did it once....killed the battery twice before it finally started. start vehicle, Killed battery, remove from vehicle and charge for 5 hours, re-install battery, attempt to start vehicle again.....Now repeat
  10. I couldn't get my rear axle to drop enough on eith side to "Pull" out the springs. I even jacked up the opposite side but still wouldn't come out. My brake lines, and panhard rod were limiting me, so i had to use a spring compressor. I've been helping some friends with a "heap" build and another with a Tacoma build and we figured out that no two vehicles are the same, even if they're the same make, model, year, and options.
  11. Check out Dean's site or mine for pictures. Dean's Mine
  12. Check out my website. I pulled off the spoiler and resprayed it. Rear Spoiler
  13. Great picture to use anywhere.....I thought it was great!
  14. Man that was three years ago...i don't remember how much. i tried to find the part number too but no deal.....I can't remember an hour ago never mind three years. If your not doing any hardcore off roading then the ones from AC should be fine, but i'm a stickler for beefy steel parts that hold my truck together.
  15. I got my bolts from K-mac in australia. They are a lot beefier the the others i've seen. Check em out at K-Mac suspension
  16. I found all the sensors at Rock Auto.com....they have the OEM and univerals. the universals run abot $50 each and the OEMs about $75
  17. No kidding on the stopping! I hauled 2500lbs of porcelin in the back of my Pathy. I already have the AC 2" lift coils and Bilsteins on the back.....they performed wonders....kept me from bottoming out and stay very stable for that much weight.....i've also changed the rear upper and lower control arm bushings, so that helped too. Change the rear shocks and springs, and don't forget the rear bushings....the bushings will really help eliminate side to side wobbling.....
  18. Dean, that things awesome! I'm getting ready to pick up some different length coils and that would come in handy. I just picked up some used coil overs from the junk yard....i really want to see if i can make something like this work on the pathy.
  19. I have a few shots on my website when i did the lift install. http:\\kmgar.tripod.com I haven't had a chance to finish my website, so not all the photos are posted. Don't forget to get the Camber adjusting bolts (replaces the uppper where the strut mounts to the spindle). I got mine from http://www.k-mac.com.au/ Tools: Two strut spring compressors (Go on the outside of the spring, unlike the coil spring compressors that go inside the spring) Impact wrench Metric sockets up to 22mm (I think 22mm is the largest i used) Metric Wrenches Metric Allen wreches Small Sledge hammer Drive Pins Pry bars Good quality jack stands
  20. Some aftermarket parts suppliers still show the T15 available....You might want to do a search for TJM bumpers for your year...I did it for my 1997 and found Tellico4x4.com shows them in stock for 1996-1999 Pathfinders Part #A1510A
  21. Good source for each state's laws Linky Linky
  22. When i go out wheeling: cargo box filled with jumper cables standard and metric socket set 1/2" drive (cheap sets from Harbor Freight) metric and standard wrenches (Yup, Harbor Freight) 2 snatch straps (10,000lb capacity each) 2 d-rings (10,000lb each) 2 10lb ABC Extinguishers (Always a high fire risk here in SoCal) bunch of misc bolts with nuts and washers 100' roll of stainless steel bailing wire (Found it at harbor freight for $15) A couple pieces of 3/4" plywood (2'x3') Couple pieces 4x6's (good for raising the jack if necessary) Bottle jack (Came with truck) 2 1/2 ton hydraulic jack Tons of map
  23. That stuff looks like goo! Like YOZSI said...some mudders, front and rear locked and the go pedal would have got you out.....but i should shut up now since i did the same thing, except the "pudddle" i hit dropped off 3 feet on the passenger side and buried me almost up the passenger window.
  24. I was too lazy years ago when setting up e-mail accounts for myself. I used my initials KMG but was taken, then it was suggested by Netzero that kmgar99 was unused, so i took it and now i use it for everything. Man that's lazy, lame too!
  25. Can you reset the computer and have it re-learn new shift points based on the new speed and RPM range? I added 32x11.5x15's and haven't really had the problem. But right after i had the tires installed, i drove home....about 1 mile....and had to work on the emmissions system so i disconnected the battery for 3+ hours. I hooked it back up the next day and drove it back and forth for work....about 50 miles one way. That was over a year ago. It definitely rev's higher, but still shifts at the speeds it used to shift at. Maybe i'm talking out my exit only hole.....
