hahaha! I'll tell ya my story, Parky. Don't know if it will help ya out though, as my situation was a bit different than yours... '95 SE, NO DRL module. When I got my rig from original owner, driver's side low beam never came on. Replaced the bulb, cleaned the switch with no effect. Bad ground I thought, so I cut the (if memory serves me right here...) the black wire from driver's headlight pigtail and ran that to a new ground. Headlights worked normally EXCEPT that if the e-brake was on, the driver's side low beam wouldn't come on until I released the ebrake. Once the ebrake was released, all worked normally. I thought that was weird. Then I got tired of having crappy, yellow lights at night. I relayed them and the silly little ebrake problem went away. Now I have nice bright powerful lights. I suggest to you that you A) look for a newly installed ground from driver's pigtail and relay those lights. d.

Swapped out the Pirelli winter rubber for the 31-AT's on 'yota rims that I picked up for like, 80 bucks.

I wish I got 600+ kms/ tank... I have to fight gravity on the damn hills 'round here.

I got up early today to change my tires over, but it's snowing. So the winter tires are staying on for another week.

what is "color wax"?

Looks GOOD!!! Building drawer number one... I never build drawers like that. If you have any weight at all, one good tug on the drawer front will pull it off. Better still to run a rebate, glue it up, and pin it from the sides & bottom. That'll do ya! I think I am just gonna drill some holes and knot some nylon rope for drawer pulls....any other ideas on the drawer pulls??? Drill a couple 1" holes and just use finger pulls? Cut out a shape like: -\____/- that fits your hand? Drill two 1" holes 5" apart and use a jigsaw to join them up? Kinda like this: (______) Although my 'puter only lets me make the bottom like.

Went to Princess Auto, found a pair of 5x7 speakers in their surplus section. Merta brand. Original fitment for Pathfinders to '95(so it says on the pkg...mine were Clarions). 2.99 each! I had just replaced my doors with some decent sounding component JVCs, and could hear that my rears were frapping out. Hell, for 7 bux I thought why not try 'em out? SEVEN bucks!!! ...unbelievable......

You know that with special limited editions you pay more for insurance?

http://parts.autopartsonlinecanada.com/parts/apocanada/parts.jsp?year=1995&make=NI&model=PAT-4WD-003 stockish & cheap. free shipping over 75 bux. I use them for lots of parts. Never a problem.

I put some 6.5" in the doors. All I had to do was use a grinder to remove some material from the plastic spacer, and they fit like a charm. I'll be tackling the rears next.

I'd rather have a sticker than plaque any day!

Ok, I admit that I don't know much about sound and that I'm going a bit deaf from years of concerts and nail-guns. Still, I like my tunes while driving! I've got a few questions for the sound gurus. In replacing door speakers in my '95 SE, the OEM Clarion speakers are component and are 5x7, 2.4 ohm, and max 40W nom 20W. I'm installing into the door JVC 6.5" components. 4 ohm, 270W peak, 45W rms. What does it mean that the ohm ratings different? If I put coaxials in the rear, does mixing coaxial & component speakers affect the quality of my system? reason for edit: to more clearly state the questions

Bought a set of JVC 6.5" component speakers to replace my blown 5x7 oem door speakers. Managed to install passenger side trouble free today. Tomorrow it will be driver's side. Then I'll be working on blowing out the rear speakers.

Yesterday thinking it was spring, I pulled out the sand bags from the back that I use for winter ballast. Today it's snowing....I put them back in.

$$$ are no object when it comes to my sweet ride!

YEP! There is a "split boot" that makes the job a cake walk. I used one ~ 40,000 km (30,000 miles) ago. Holding up like a charm. I think I got mine from 4x4part.com. Not sure of the price...as that was a couple of years ago. Highly suggested!!

My "Compression" Rod or "Strut" rod on both sides were as corroded as yours so I replaced them. I didn't remove the wheels, or jack up the truck and put it on stands. I just crawled under, lay on some cardboard and went to work. Good write-up!

For $80.00, I thought my tranny cooler install went super easy. Oh, and lots of people (myself included) really don't like Lucas for too many reasons for me to get into at 07:00.

Hey, what did you use for speakers? Make / Model / size? Mine just blew and I don't want to pull the door apart and THEN go shopping. I'd rather have then on hand and do a quick install. Thanks!

Got 454 kms to a tank of 60 litres which cost me $71.00. There goes my weekend bzzr $$...

!! Hello from the interior! Nice clean ride there...I think you'll have fun!!

Think I blew out the factory speakers up front.

Did an oil + filter change in record time: 20 mins. A personal best for me as I usually putz around & waste a ton of time.

up to 215,000 km (Feb 2012)
