Not a single comment or suggestion,
...I suggest we bring lots of bacon to eat!

Welcome. Good to have you.
-
Was a good meet I think. Got a lot of work done.
I didn't take a good picture of the Pathys in the shop. But here one of the three inside non the less.
Might just do it again next weekend for those that missed it this weekend.
-
Okay looks like we are on for this weekend. PM me for the address and details if you are interested in going.

Weather man still says there is an 80% chance of rain on Saturday and now 70% on Sunday. But the shop will be nice and dry
I am going to Princess Auto tomorrow to pickup a few little things. If you are coming to the meet and need something at PA but can't get to PA, let me know and I can see about picking it up for you.
Pizza will be on the menu for lunch
-
80% chance of rain on Saturday, so come on over
We will be in a nice dry shop working on the trucks.
Even if no one decides to come over I will still be working on the truck.
Depending on the turn out, I will likely do it again next weekend for the others that couldn't go this weekend.

I don't really need any help myself, as I have worked on bigger things by myself before. I just thought that since I have lots of space and equipment available, I might as well let people who need it use it
Like I said before, I am not interesting in anything for me. Just thought I would help out others when I can.
Anyways, it is more fun when others are working with you!
Only thing I don't recommend is anyone bringing kids. We will be working with power tools and other equipment, and as we all know, for that one second you are not watching them, they will likely get into something they shouldn't
-
Depending on the response we could likely do it both this and next weekend. Naturally not everyone is free when you want them to be.
I plan on being there all this saturday doing some fabrication on my truck (new front kid plate and side sliders) so I might as well have some other people there to chat with and help at the same time
Might order some pizza as well to help fuel the workers

I thought I would throw this out there for guys in the Ottawa and surrounding area.
I am thinking of having a truck work meet at my shop either this weekend or the next.
I have a large shop which can hold up to three pathys at a time to work on. The shop also has a large compressor, tons of air tools, power tools, a large toolbox, professional mig welder, plasma cutter, torches, floor jacks, etc, etc.
Pretty much a fully equipped shop. The only thing I do not have is a vehicle lift. But I do have floor jacks and stands which can easily help get your tires off the ground
I thought this might be useful for the guys who either do not have the tools to fix up their trucks, or simply don't know how and need help getting things done. It can really help having a proper shop where there is enough room to work on pretty much anything you need to.
I am not asking for anything in return other than trying to help others that need a hand and that you bring any parts you might need. I don't mind people using a few little things here and there (ie. someone needs some wire, a nut and bolt, or a small piece of metal to fix something), but I don't want to start using up all my parts in my shop on other peoples trucks. Just make sure to stop off at Canadian Tire, NAPA, Princess Auto, or where ever you need to go before you drop by
You don't need something big to fix or work on. It could be as simple as changing the oil on the truck.
Anyone interested?

I am looking forward to this. I think we will have lots of fun.
We just have to remember that whatever happens on the hydro line, stays on the hydro line

I have the same roof rack which I bought from CT.
Bolted the lights right to it.
As for wiring, I installed some relays in the engine compartment then ran a wiring harness down along the bottom of the frame to the back of the truck. Once in the back, I went up through the inner panels and out the roof through the roof trim.
These pictures were before I finished connecting them to the lights, but the rest is finished.
Nothing fancy, but it took some time to run the wiring along the frame as there isn't much room down there on my R50.

Sounds good to me. Would give me time to get the tuck up to par. I still have a few little upgrades to do.
I have lots of camping gear we can use. No one better be a vegetarian or else they will starve (well I guess they could eat some grass).
As long as Adam stays in his tent at night it should be fine. But I will bring a bat just to make sure
-
Congrats adamzan. You deserve it
-
I like it with the wind flare.
Nice install. Looks stock.
-
Welcome. Good to have you!

Pictures of the run were posted here: http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=25952
Was a hell of a fun time.

If I had the money, I would buy it, just to put it out of its misery.

A friend drives a Chevy Tracker, and every spring the breaks start to squeek. We found that it is just a lot of dust getting kicked up from the road after the winter (the gravel they put on the road) and getting in there. It always stops after they clean the gravel/dirt from the roads and we put the pressure washer to the wheels.
Might just be something simple like that.
-
We were thinking of going this Sunday (March 21st).
Not 100% confirmed yet, but it looks pretty good so far.
-
Looks good. But it will look even better once it is covered in mud
-
Looks good. I want a set now!
-
A picture is worth a thousand words.
If you could take a picture and post it, we could probably tell you what it is. There are a lot of parts in that engine bay
-
Rear fenders fixed:
Covered the inside of the new front fenders with rocker guard. Should last longer than the original.
Then I replaced the front fender:
I will get to the other fender tomorrow.
Should look a lot better once the entire truck is painted.

I got some great canned bacon.
It is pre-cooked. All you have to do is heat it up a bit. AWESOME stuff
Or I could bring some thick bacon I buy at costco:
We will plant this flag at the camp site so that people can find us if needed
