  1. Those look nice but with the ARB you might want to place your order now as it takes 4-6weeks to get here. I'm on the waiting list BTW NorthRoad Offshore has the best prices on that Bar. The winch I'm not sure about as I am still looking so far I have been quoted $1050 cad for the Warn 8000 with 80' of Cable. Let me know if you find a better deal then that and I'll do the same.
  2. Hey tmorgan4 you could always get an ARB there still available. This way you could pop a winch in there no sweat sly
  3. I think I will be going with the Heavy OME springs in the front and medium in the rear. This should support the ARB and winch up front without sagging and with the stronger springs up front hopefully will even the pathy out in the ride situation. Still up in the air with the shocks though heard some good & bad things with Ranchos. Might just go with OME also.
  4. I have a couple... Do you guys still live in Igloos? Houses in Canada? Ya right. Wow you offroad in that? (this is where I was pulling a jeep out on the river lol)
  5. See I like that look nice & level. But I guess the 2wd is allot less heavier up front so no droop. Camber kits eh!
  6. Ok I am thinking getting the OME springs but I don't like how the rear is higher then the front at all. So does the rear springs even out or do they seem to stay like that? If they do even out how long does it take? Is there anyway that you can make the front level with the rear? Now will the Rancho(dial) shocks help this as You could maybe stiffen the front up and let the rear be set to soft. Until the springs even out. I don't know but I don't like the soopped up look end just driving that would make me feel that I'm nose diving. So can you guys tell me if any of that would work or have any suggestions on how to fix that Thanks,
  7. I think wifes Pathy brand new has seen 440km's per tank a few times now almost 2 years old she see's a lucky 400km's once in awhile but averages 380km per tank as she does allot of city driving. She's also heavy on the FOOT
  8. Thanks Precise1 Wow! :o That stuff is Super expensive!
  9. From that angle looks like your stuck pretty good Lextronix
  10. Haha Ya it gotta love this past winter seems that we never came out of the deep freeze but life goes on and so does some good ice fishing times meaning some pretty hard snow/ruts and Banks to drive over and some really fun trips on the River & Lake. Well I might still have this Pathy that I picked up (92) The Blue one does sound pretty tough, now on that note: What I will do at our temps is bolt it on and see if it has flex at that temp I know it can withstand the temp(BLUE ONE) but can it flex at that temp.Hammer does nothing 4000lb vehicle might be a different story though. This is why I am offering as then we will know if it retains it's flex at that temp. So question for you how much is the Blue, Black and Oil Filled? Also what thickness are you making it out of? Do you have a link on this material for info? I looked but came up with some different sites that had no bearing??? Here is the pic I left out the white as I don't think it could handle our mild winters so no point. Thanks and I hope all goes well !
  11. I do have a question for you Precise1 have you tested this plastic in below 0 weather? I know the article which gave you this idea and they never leave the heat zone. I can tell you here plastic has lmtd flex at -15 and none at -42 that we had this year but I would like to know how it works out if someone smacks it in this climate as how large the crack would be. I know this winter I had a local smash his plastic splash guard up that was at -25 he went wheeling and hit a huge snowbank as he put it. This winter I will check for you I will grab some of this material and test it for you just bomb me an e-mail to remind me. I can give you feedback if you like. I'll be glad to help you out.
  12. MTR's all the way! You really can't go wrong a tad on the pricey side but awsome offroad
  13. Well this brings back a memory......... So my girlfriend(wife now) at the time were driving my Ford Tempo back iabout 9 years ago. A time when I was younger and had a short fuse So 4 teenagers pull up in this car flips us the bird. This I let go. But then they started shouting rude comments and swearing at us. So I blew my top I maxed that little Tempo to the floor chased them out on the highway rolled down passenger window as this is where my wife was sitting and I was shouting to them pull over!!!! They would not even look at me I tried everything to get their attention. Now this would never bother me now not even close takes allot (guess that's what having kids do to you). But at the time just coming from that time in my life (that itself is no excuse) My Point. Well the kids will piss off the wrong guy and they will get it as most go allot further now as they love to do the group thing. But people in General are FED-UP with their behavior as the courts do nothing!
  14. Sent my 10smacks last year now(nov or Dec) and 1 day I will when Jim gets around to it I will have member status
  15. The pathy I picked up today has just over 275,000km's but it still runs strong.
  16. So I was sick and tired of waiting for a test vehicle from people which I thought was a great deal for them so that I could use there pathy for a fitting and give them powdercoated skidplates after I was done for FREE. This never happened so Traded our 97 Van for this 92 Se pathy. Now I will continue with your skidplates anything else that you guys might like for it let me know now is the time to ask as I'm not sure how many months I will have this Pathy for. Here It is
  17. Good Choice! I love my MTR tires. I already have another set on oreder for when I get my new Truck. They are not loud and they bite in the snow and in mud! They are far the best out there
  18. Wow Great Pics! I like this one the best makes me eager to get back into my lakes this Summer I can't wait.
  19. Well I here is the part #'s for the Bars that had to be replaced. 1 went and the other they changed because it was on warranty. #54618-3W400 These went at 52,000km. I noticed the clunk on even on the smallest of bumps after awhile.
  20. Front stabalizer bars are the smaller ones one on each side and they have rubber bushings in them. They are about a foot long if that. This wears out and they have to be replaced or Clunky, clunk, clunk. I'll take pics tomorrow for you if I get some time.
  21. Hey guys the front skidplate will be looking like the front for the xterra so a good pic of this is to clink on those links on my site. I do know that Grade8 bolts ca be sheared off but it would raise the price up tons to weld the ring around the mounting holes. That is the best I can do without going into crazy money. But where the bolts will be showing is where both plates attatch that is where the exsposure will be and just cary extra bolts. I do have exposed grade 8 bolts on my pathy and at first I had Grade5 but they are not as strong so changed them. The rear clamps that are shown is not how it will be installed, it was a quick pic. I'm in the process of getting a whole lot of backs made for those clamps this way the Loop end will be on the bottom. . After the backs of the Brackets are finished and make sure the front will fit with all the adjustments that I made. As soon as those are done I have a local Pathfinder I can fit them on, then I can start production on these plates Thanks for the offer Hillclimber as I almost did come out there for my new X but bought it here as they caved in and gave me a better deal. Soon guys I will have these done for you.
  22. Well I have to say that the skids are my best mod with MTR tires coming in second. Gotta love to be protected in the bush
  23. Before you do that look at your front stabalizers this is what made my clunking sound. Sounds the like the exact same clunking.
