Manifesto

I am so jealous of you... hey trade you a '98 Chevy Diesel for it =D

So spotted this article in a local newspaper today, which was kind of nice (on the little picture the comes up on the article, click on the '2' in the bottom right corner of it to get the Pathy [which was printed in the paper], I'm puzzled as to why a Suzuki its the first picture that comes up on the website O.o) http://www.metronews.ca/edmonton/life/article/673531--owners-happily-hang-on-to-nissan-s-toughest-truck It claims that the pathy came with a manual trans with the 3.5L motors too?? Is this true?? It's definitely news to me if it is lol I always though only the VG33's got an option 5-spd... anyway, nice little read

I should hope so, lol your American military uses them in all your 5 ton armoured HMMWVs Good enough for them, good enough for me It's not without it's flaws though, and I've already got a shopping list put together to make this motor bullet-proof (basically turn it into the AM General 6500 'Optimizer' that is the final update of the motor released in 2000 and still being produced) *ramble ramble* ANYWAY, yes, I'm loving the truck lol but I'd still love to find one that's 4x4 someday xD

more I dug, the more I found things I didn't like with it argh, and the guy withe QX4 sold while I was on my way to see it *sigh* but I found myself something else (no hate please, found in FAR to good condition for the price to pass up) '98 Chevy 2500 Ext Cab. 2wd auto with a 6.5L Turbo Diesel under the hood since it's 2wd I won't be tempted to build it into a trail truck lol I'm still using my WD21 for that and this truck will be able to tow the pathy to and from the trails next year too or I might flip it and get another, newer, R50. No idea yet, but I'm kind of getting addicted to the turbo spool in this truck xD

Alright lads (and Pezzy) I now have my sights set on another vehicle Still an R50 chassis, but this one's a '98 QX4 http://edmonton.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehicles-cars-trucks-1998-Infiniti-QX4-SUV-W0QQAdIdZ236716708 More pricey (for me anyway) vs the '96 path I was looking at, and it's an automatic *sigh* but, it looks like it's in top condition and I won't have to worry about anything if I pick it up on my way to look at it now =) I'll be back on the road in a pathy yet XD

I've seen some guys with cloth style 'socks' over top their CV boots, either clamped or zip-tied on either end. Seems like good, cheap insurance to keep crud out of the boots in the event that they split. Not sure where they got them, but the material looked like a canvas, definitely looked like it would do a good job anyway. Think it might be worth looking into

looks good! I've never seen someone actually take a truck with low-pro tires and fancy rims offroading before lol atleast they tuck nicely in the back =) think this would be better suited in the 'pictures and videos' section though xD

keep at 'err bud! take lots of pics!

lots of u-joints and extentions xD

working at dealerships and what not, we set all half-tons, SUVs and minivans to 35psi it's a pretty safe pressure to run I never ran anything less than 32psi on-road...

how lowwww can that subframe gooo?? I sense a new kit in the new future, the SFL Sub Frame Limboooooo xD

Chevy-san

Wow, I finally get it now I've tried watching 'modern' illistrations, but that was by far the clearest 9 minutes of my life lol

I want some pics too!!! this thread is awesome guys, might just start to love my R50 more than my WD21 (shhhhhhhhh don't tell the other guys that) Definitely considering an SFD within the next year For now, I'll just have to hope and pray the 33"s fit off my old truck on to this one without too much screwing around with just AC 2" lift

Pints are easier for me to measure than quarts... I've got enough old pint glasses around but yes, Litres would definitely help us xD

Hope your beard doesn't get caught in the spinning CV's lol jokes aside, it's a pretty neat and innovative mod

you sure? I swear I see CV shafts tucked in there O.o

Well I kinda thought I might have to do some cutting and grinding to make it all work, so if that be the case then oh well. It needs paint pretty bad anyway so I figured if I had to cut and grind then some paint could clean it up I just don't want these tires to have to go to waste xD

very nice! wish I had a lift in my garage...

Alright, thanks Dan any idea what backspace for the rear to get them to tuck under? if not, it's ok... I'll make em fit xD

swap your halogen bulbs in the headlight housings for HID's HID conversion will set you back about $150-200 for a good set off ebay and they are bright as F@&K!!!!

bahaha, thanks for the advice but I think I'll still doing a lift since my leaked out struts give me a good excuse for it

33x12.5R15 well 32.8 brand new, they're down to 6~7/32 from the original 21/32, so I guess they're closer to a 32" atm noooot overly worried about the fenders, I have a grinder to solve clearance issues with those
