87pathy

Speedy says "Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "...holy shiznit...what a ride!" That is the coolest thing i have heard in a while!

My buddy has one in his samauri, and it works just fine. the harder you push on the brakes, the better it works

Well since we don't know where you live that will make it more difficult to help. i checked in Washington and there are about 10 available statring from 650 bucks and down. Search on WWW.car-parts.com

Back when i first bought my Pathy, it started running crappy. I pulled the filter and it ran worse just as you discribe. i put a new air filter and it ran perfect. This being said, and i know you changed the filter, I would say it has somethign to do with your air to fuel mixture. did you get those little hoses reconnected at the back of the air filter housing? there are 2 of them that are a pain in the A$$ Good luck

I've been told that its a a real pain in the A$$ The wire harness has tones of wires in it.. its about the size of a 50Cent picce

Yes, you have to change the wiring harnes as well as the ecu.

The shocks i have are actually built for a F350 super duty. they are great!

meanwhile back at the ranch... I have some axle shafts that are in good shape, complete if anybody is interested. drivers and passengers side. I'd be willing to sell each for say 20 bucks plus shipping. IM me if interested

On my 87 with manual hubs, if the hubs were locked, i could shift into 4 high up to about 50mph with no issues. on my 2000 frontier with auto hubs anything over about 20 mph made griding sounds in the xfer case. i belive this is due to the auto hubs not being engaged and the gears trying to mesh with a non turning gear. But on the manual hubs the front drive line is actually turning same speed as the rear thus, the gears are tuning the same speed. Make your own conclusion

x terra all the way

all your shock needs and information. don't concern yourself with loop holes size as they come with all adaptors you may need. http://www.explorerprocomp.com/PDFs/ProCompCatalog2005.pdf

i never thought of that,,, thats a great idea! know i know how to fill in all my gaps form the lift

yep what he said, same thing when i did my 87 that oil filter is in the way

did you replace the rotor as well? did you check the gap on the new plugs before installing them? if so, possible MAF sensor it sounds like a spark issue to me though

yep what he said,, @!*% it only costs 20-30 bucks to have it resurfaced I can tell from the color in the pic that you SHOULD have in turned

Ya down your way. Question about the patrol axles. i was looking at one that was lifted with about 35s on in, LPG conversion when i was working in new Castle. the front axle is Knecked down right before the C going to the outer knuckles. Is this on all patrols and if so, is it a problem? -study-

Vsicks, Just currious, I didn't know the patrols had driver side drop. What year did they have the drivers side drop? maybe if i read the entire thread i'd have noticed whay you said... oops :bow:

patrol axles have the drop on the wrong size. as far as sas... Waggy would be the cheapest and easiest. go leaf springs ford bronco.. the HP on the bronco is very close to center and you might have problems with the oil pan. also in order to get disk brakes on your pathy with a ford conversion you would have to use full width. then you have to change the rear end too. ford didn't put disk brakes on them till 76 i believe. the full width axles won't cause oil pan problems cause the diff is a little bit more on the drivers side.. just like an inch or so

I thought that the coil rate was a combination of teh wire thickness used for the coils and the distance between the coils. if you ever look at varaible rate coils, the coils are closer together at the top than they are at the bottom..

its called the acherman angle. All vehicles have it to some degree, its cause in a turn, your inside tire has a tighter radius than the ouside tire. But it should be screatching, could be just a bit out of wack.

i take it you broke the little plastic thing htat actually holes it on.. ya, when you find one let me know, i broke mine 10 years ago and have still to find a replacement

I have used them on motor boat engines. The only problem with them, is normally they go down your dip stick hole and you can't get all the crap out of the bottom of the pan

you should be able to, i have 6.5's in my two door. however.. if you want to get some that are good, you will have to get some with Neo Dimium magnets. They are half the size and 2x the power. normal magnets will cause interferance problems. I also have 6x9's in the back

i read the whole string, what i can't believe, is that the guy put everything in, complete without checking his castor angle.. that should have been the first thing he did before tak welding the first bracket -alcohol- oh well, live and learn. looks sweet in the end. you could easily make that work on a pathy. I would have conserns about the xfer case support. you wouldn't ever be able to lift it more, i had to make a custom xmember to go above the drive line so it wouldn't hit it.

good call! I can't tell you how many Gosh darn, piec of crap, screwed up.. piss me off spark plug wires, i've pulled apart on my pathy trying to get the damn plug wires off. Just pulled 2 of the off last week when i changed my plugs!. Been so long i forgot how to "be carefull" Luckily i know have a crimping tool to properly fix them
