Mr. Jim put on Pacesetters, and had his flow out to dual exhaust. He had a shop do the work for him, but took lots of pictures and did a write up. Available Here

Never heard of those.. you really do live in your own little world And "HEEP". MMMM, the pot is calling the kettle black. I don't know exactly what you're saying by that comment. Anyways, I'll just try to explain my thoughts on this whole subject. I look at the quality of a vehicle based mainly upon reliability. I (like a few of us out there) don't have the money to be driving a vehicle purely for pleasure. My Pathy gets me to work and back every day. The fact that it's pretty capable in it's stock form is simply a bonus. I feel the same way about the 4Runner. They're a highly reliable truck, with about the same longevity and quality as the Pathfinder. I chose the Pathy because in my area, it was about 5g's cheaper, similarly equipped. Now, HEEP, on the other hand, is a good offroad vehicle as well, but, the quality and reliability of HEEP has been suspect for quite some time. I simply cannot afford downtime with my vehicle, and with Jeeps, it seems more common than with Toyotas or Nissans. I realize that you have a SAS's Pathy, and that you may, or may not, have another vehicle as a daily driver. If you do, your opinion on trucks may differ, as reliability may not be as much of a concern.

I was thinking the same thing. Are you possibly fabricating a tubular, wrap around bumper? Or is that just what the cool kids are doing these days?

To be honest V6, I'm with you (I'm as shocked about that as anyone else ). Without a bull bar, or brush guard I don't like the front of the earlier Pathys either. I think it's style-less. (puts on flame suit) But it's not an issue for me because I have a brush guard, with lights, so most of it is covered.

Alright.... Hey, my Opinionated, know it all guy, did you figure out how to create a poll yet!?!?

Here, let me help you out with the spelling on that... T...O...Y...O...T...A...sly Why are you able to swear? I will try it again.............. @!*%ota. Oh, come on V6, it's not like he's saying the name of a domestic manufacturer. Toyota's are good vehicles. Now, H E E P, on the other hand................ -alcohol-

I knew the spelling Nazi would catch that one. Oh yeah, I'm in for a sticker or 2 as well. I like the one with the tire, but it won't be cheap, as it can't be die cut. That would have to be printed.

Sweet, I know isht!!!! :cool2:

Fish oil you say? I was thinking of putting some oil (motor oil?) into my sprayer and just spraying it into the inside of the frame rails to keep the rust from eating it's way through from the inside? Any thoughts?

Right beside the link to start a new topic, there's a link for a new poll. If you put in your poll options in the box provided, on separate lines, I believe the board software automatically puts the bullets beside them for selecting answers. Someone chime in here if I'm wrong, but I think that's it.

That's one way of looking at it!!! I was thinking more along the lines of the rust killing my truck before the engine gives up. That's a bad thing in my books.

I'm concerned about my frame on my 95, as I've heard about the steel problems, and I live in Canada, with the snow and salt. I've checked the frame, and so far everything still seems solid. I basically tapped around with a hammer to see if everything sounded solid, no soft spots. I have some surface rust, which is to be expected. My question is, I'm thinking of POR15-ing the entire frame, and floor of my truck. I will prep it properly, then coat everything. Will this help stop the frame from rotting, or will it just rot from the inside where I can't reach? Any ideas?

I have the download on my FTP server at home. PM me for the link. Anyone here is welcome to it, I just don't want to post my FTP information and end up way over my UL quota. My upload speed isn't that fast, but it's steady, and reliable for the most part. BTW, it's a 43Mb zip file, so any dialup guys beware.

At our Sunoco stations here, they have ethanol blended. I have had no adverse effects using it. It's not any cheaper, but I find it gives me more power. I heard that Sunoco had the cleanest gas, so maybe that's why it feels more peppy when I fill at Sunoco.

Well, I guess I was wrong in assuming my plastic one was a Nissan part. Oh well. The smoked plastic looks good, and the wing seems durable enough. I assume mine's the aftermarket type as well, as my risers are attached to the hatch, and not the window hinges. I guess, with Canadian climate, I'm happy it's not another thing to rust!!!!

I find this strange. Most people have talked about their spoilers being metal. Mine's from a Nissan dealership here, and it's plastic. It's tinted black. Was it only plastic on the 95's?

I have the NGK one, and it was direct fit. I got it for $75CDN through a friend. It was like $90 without his discount, but still, not as much as the Bosch.

Well, I plan to fix the AC eventually. Need a new condensor. Just waiting until after my wedding, when I have some more $$$. Then I'll put the belt back on.

That's a really old picture. It was filthy. That was taken right after a camping trip. My truck was used as the music machine, so the doors were open, hence the ashes all through it. Not to mention the coffee spilled in the dust collector. That wasn't due to the cupholder, but a large bump I hit on the way home, as I was grabbing the coffee out of the holder.... -alcohol-

I got a dual cupholder, that's adjustable, at Wal-Mart for $8 CDN that helps with that situation. It sits between the shift boot, and the dust collector under the hand brake. (mine's stick). I just screwed it into the floor with a couple of self tapping screws, and the cupholder issue was solved.

I took my AC belt off a while ago, with no adverse, or positive effects. I simply took it off because my AC doesn't work anyhow, and I was trying to see which belt was squeaking. I'd leave it on there, just because there's no real benefit to taking it off, as far as I can tell.

You wouldn't be able to be the invisible eye in the sky, even if you wanted to be. You're a postwhore, through and through!!!! We don't want you to be either. There's usually a nugget of good information, in between thousands of senseless whoring posts.

That's funny........cuz it's true........

Belt dressing helps. It's available at most automotive stores, and some bigger chain type stores. Don't know what you have in your area.
