    Snorkel!

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    I like it. Clean looking.

     

    I bought a Hazard Fraught (Harbor Freight) heat gun for $12 dollars a few months ago.

     

    "Hazard Fraught" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I like that!

     

    Along with theexbrit I didn't like the angles with the cherokee model, so I cut it and reshaped it to match the A-pillar, much happier

     

    Didn't know you'd finished your Cherokee snork SP, any pics?

    I had a similar problem with an XJ Cherokee snorkel that I adapted, I just cut the snork & added some flexi pipe in between the 2 pieces so that I could bend it to the angles I needed. :itsallgood:

    Front/Rear Camera Install

    Nice little write up & a great idea. This is something I thought about doing some time ago after I got stuck swaying on the top of a drop off & didn't know what was in front of me because the hood was so high up. Luckily there was another vehicle that guided me down. I have an aux video input on my in dash dvd player, now you've got me thinking about hooking up a front camera to it! :aok:

     

    How do you switch between cameras?

    Rear Tire Carrier....is there a weight limit?

    I lost that pin somewhere....I keep an allen key in truck for when I need it to stay open. I keep forgetting to weld a chain to it.

     

    I got home too late to mount it last night. I'll have to get to it this weekend.

     

    Also, they don't make a Batman cover that will cover a 33"...I'm going to order a regular and have the Batman cover cut and stitched to the new cover. My kids love it and call it the Batmobile. :D

     

    I had a buddy bend me a piece of metal bar & weld a piece of chain to it. Trouble is, when I first had it I kept trying to close the carrier with the pin in!! :lmao:

     

    Looking forward to seeing the "Batmobile" tire carrier! :laugh::aok:

    Had a good mechanic buddy of mine come over today, checked the fuel pump relay first, it's clicking so the wiring was ok. Then checked the fuel pump using B's method, fuel pump is buzzing away merrily. Then my buddy sayz "did you check ALL the fuses, including the mini fuses?". "Yes" I sayz, they all looked ok. "Lets check them again" he sayz & grabs his test light. 1 fuse blown, 2 fuse blown, 3 fuse blown, etc, total of 5 blown mini fuses. Replaced these fuses & away she goes, purring like a kitten!!!! :ohno01::D :D

     

    So, being the big nob end that I am I did a half arsed job of checking the "minor" fuses after I replaced the high amp fuses, that's why she would turn over but not fire up. A couple of those mini fuses in the engine bay fuse box must protect some fuel/air sensors, etc. :kyle:

     

    Anyway, Ol' Green is running great again except for the hi beam lights, so I'll check all the inside fuses when it's light. Moral of the story is double check the simple stuff first. Oh, & don't drill thru a wiring harness!!! :itsallgood::rofl:

    Unfortunately I can't blame this on beers :blush02:

     

    All is still not well in the warp drive. I replaced the 80 amp fuse after a long drive to a wrecking yard (stealerships wanted $16 & special order, 2-3 days), now everything works & the engine turns over but it won't fire. No firing at all, just cranking, so I'm thinking fuel. I checked the fuses (engine compartment & interior fuse box) & changed the fuel pump relay, still no firing. I'm thinking it has to be a wire that I missed repairing unless anyone can think of a reset or something that I need to do. I really don't want to pull all the harness out again but it may come to that. :suicide::rant2:

    I found about 6 wires in the harness that I'd hit with the drill & sliced apart :ohno01::P:pullhair: What a wan :wackinit: er I am! :doh:

     

    Have you checked all your fuses? Inside and hood ones? May still have caught a wire when drilling and popped a fuse or two.

     

    "You are correct sir!!" I fixed the wires but it did pop some fuses, 3 40 amp & the main 80 amp jcase fuses. I managed to find the 40 amp jcase fuses at Pep Boys but no one has the 80 amp. I will try the stealership tomorrow, if no luck there (or too expensive) I'll hit the wrecking yard. :itsallgood:

    Thank you all for the feedback. I've got some time since the fabrication of the bezel is going to be the time consuming part.

     

    Ex Brit- I agree it might be easier, but not too sure on functionality. To have to take my eyes off the road to know where I'm going seems weird... :-)

     

    Just have the gps her/him yell directions to you in that annoying robot voice & then you won't have to look at the screen :laugh:

    So, put a new cruise control switch into the Pathy today & also drilled a couple of small holes for a washer bottle mod. Now there's nothing when I switch on the ignition :ohno01::headwall:

     

    No power locks, no ignition lights, nothing that seems to work off the ignition switch. The headlights work, the interior lights work, etc, but anything that comes on with the ignition es no bueno :scratchhead:

     

    I can't see that the cruise control switch had anything to do with it, so the only other thing I can think of is I must have hit the wiring harness when I drilled the 2 holes. The part of the wiring harness in question is between the battery & the headlight on the passenger side. Anyone know if there's anything in there that would cause this? I would have thought it was just headlight wiring & stuff, but I'm no expert.

     

    Thanks in advance for any help :aok:
