  1. got a quote on the timing belt because thats what I was thinking it was, $780 Canadian... Im a college student, why did it come to this i miss driving the old girl. I wish i knew more about vehicles so I could replace it myself, the parts are only 150.
  2. Hey guys i started my pathy about a month ago and it was probably -40 and it started right up, but not 5 seconds later i heard a snap/clunk and it instantly died. Now it wont start i can hear the stater go but there is almost a grinding weird sound. I have an audio clip but dont think i can post it but i can email it if anyone is willing to help. Let me know what you think, i miss driving the big girl. 93 275k auto XE 4x4.

  4. yah i think i got the just of it, its running 20x better now. I think i need to replace that hose either way though because its really old and im sure will crack more. Im having trouble finding anything for it though :S ebay has stuff but theres no way im paying $60 + S&H for a 10" aluminum tube :S.
  5. Alrighty guys I cleaned the MAF, and the same problem is happening. However i discovered something, what i thought was a bad/blown ball joint sound turned out to be my intake making a sound like if you were to pull a large dent out of a car. This happens when i give her lots of gas once and a while, it was happening when i was manually revving it up with my finger. I was feeling my cold air intake and it would suck like normal than make the sound and push it out the intake kind of like a back fire. Help? Is it my intake hose still? because it had a good crack that i just now loaded with silicone and is drying, i haven't drove it since i siliconed the hose. Hopefully that fixes it?? anyone have any other ideas??
  6. Hey folks i keep having this problem latley, i will be driving and when i come to a full stop at a light or sign it stalls out. I can restart it and it will stall unless i keep the pedal down a bit then quickly put my foot on the break and shift it to drive. Its a 93 XE 267000km. Im absolutly stumped, changed gas filter and ran some injector cleaner through the engine and still have the same thing. help! p.s. Auto 4x4
  7. Hey guys wondering how wide of a tire i can go with, without mods and rubbing? I plan for a 3" body lift eventually and then run some 33's but dont know how wide i can go.
  8. HAHAHA im glad i got that saying in this case.
  9. Thats exactly what i thought haha!
  10. Got my sticker in the mail today, looks great and is well worth the 12 dollars. Fast shipping too! Lol i don't really have anything against Toyota's but i thought the saying was hilarious.
  11. Motormart Carries lots of options check them out? Hope that helps.
  12. I found a joint that sells 4 1/4" wide rubber universal fender flares, next pay check i'm going to pick those up and throw out those gay chrome strips.
  13. You guys know where i can pick up some bushwacker style fender flares to get rid of those ugly things?
  14. Yah i think their tacky too, but i want some fender flares to replace them before i take them off
  15. Hey folks worked for a few hours on my 93 pathy, Removed pinstripes, side bumpers, side steps, old mud flaps, added new mud flaps, installed cold air intake. Ill let the pics speak i think its a world of difference. Thanks to everyone helping me on the cold air intake, it made the old beast run a heck of a lot better and sounds beefy. Before After
  16. Thanks for all the replys folks, After replacing the stock air filter for a cold air i realized i was flooding the engine with water in the air intake. The way the stock air is plumbed made it so the water could splash up and in which is what happened. The filter was soaked, I think the next upgrade is a safari snorkel for me anyways ^^.
  17. Ok wicked, just really wanted to make sure. Is there anything i can do to prevent it from dieing after a deeper puddle? Besides maybe a lift?
  18. Hey there folks, so we have got just over 100mm (4") of rain and i decided there would be lots of fun on gravel roads. I wasn't wrong, so i was traveling along and there were a couple puddles and the first two were fine and i got right through. The third one was probably 8-9' long and at most 1 1/2' deep, so i figured i would be alright. So i was going about 30-40 which i thought might be too fast but wasn't sure because im a newb but i went through anyways. I got all the way through and just out of the water it started sputtering and eventually stalled out. I tried restarting it and tons of white smoke or probably steam was coming from the back and under the hood. After the second turn over she kept going sputtering down around 250 RPM every few seconds and then i gave her some gas and she started running smoother. I was scared because there was a longer puddle ahead and probably deeper so i turned around and came back through and had the same problem, only this time when i got back on the road i tried getting up to 60km/h and she would spit and sputter a bit. Now that im home she is running nice. My question is: Was i just newbish and going to fast? Is there likley something wrong? Or is that much water to much for a stock pathy? Help lol Shapes
  19. I have the same problem, except its when i have the heater on... Hmm also it sometimes smells like fuel so i donno. I think i have a small manafold leak because i can see some "wet" spots down the side of the manifold it self would that have the same smell and posibly get pulled into the cab??
  20. Hey folks been pondering for a bit here, wondering if going cold air is a good idea when off roading? what happens if I get the filter wet. Or will I get it wet? If it will how do i prevent it? Sorry for the noobish questions i am just getting in to the whole off road thing.
  21. lonley old red deer lol
  22. Red Deer Alberta, I dont know any trails or anything either if you live close drop me a pm!
  23. Haha oh my bad I'm still a newb , yah I meant rocker panels (the step things). Okay so I'm going to rip them off than. Thanks again!
  24. my question is, to rocker or not to rocker? I have seen tons of pathys without and i think they look great and look like the have a lift without one. But people keep telling me to leave them on because it keeps the mud away. I want to take them off maybe replace them with some sick wide mudflaps in the front and back, suggestions? also is it hard to take those off?
