  1. Wow, identicle in every way to my 93! Only had mine about a year now. Good luck with it, they are LOTS of fun and quite capable the way it sits and it can only get better. ~Jason
  2. King, that is why I asked. This is nothing I am looking to do next month, just wanted to know what direction to look. Thanks for all the info peeps!
  3. Are the pistons/ rods and or crank forged in a 93 VG30? The reason I ask is I would not mind bolting a small turbo up some day and was just cuious if I was wasting my time even considering it. I don't reall want to build a turbomotor, I already have a project like that going on and $$ is spread thin enough. Thanks for any input. ~Jason
  4. Thanks for the lengthy post and info. You make a good point about the steering as well. I was not big on the added wear that the tires will get as opposed to riding on a trailer. I may just take it easy for now and keep my eyes open for a cheap flatbed. I have been needing one for a few years now anyway so I can drag my car to the track. Thanks again everyone~
  5. Is disconnecting the drive shaft a fairly easy task or should I start looking into a cheap trailer? B/c again, I am looking for an option to take the truck to the island for the weekend or the day and then back again. I want to tow the truck in case I break something I don't want to be stuck over an hour from home.
  6. Do we know of anyone using this method over long periods of time? I just want to be sure b/c I don't want to damage the truck. Plus a cheap trailer would cost me $1500 or so but if that is the way I need to then I will do that.
  7. Ya I was not sure if just putting the transfer case in neutral would do it or what. Thanks for the input!
  8. Guy's (yes I searched first) I was wondering if it is possible to tow a WD21 (93) Patfinder 4x4 auto trans with all 4 wheels on the ground. The reason I ask is I know subaru's for example can not be towed with either set of wheels on the ground, they recomend a flat bed. I would love to be able to get a tow bar and then I could transport it 1.5 hrs to the beach on the weekends. I am sure this has been discussed before but searhing for towing seems to always bring up other items related to towing. Thanks for the help! ~Jason
  9. Don't worry about D-Rock [lol] Billy. Like previousley mentioned~ you either need to place the vents over something you dont mind getting wet in the engine bay (nearly impossible), keep it out of the weather (difficult) or fashon up some door flaps or something. I have a custom hood on my car with 3 big vents and trust me, water goes in when it rains by the bucketfull. I will kick the idea around in my head today and maybe spit out a CAD drawing if I come up with something.
  10. Good looking truck~ You are in the same boat as me~ I am not in a rush to mess with mine b/c it's so dang clean! Nice score for sure : )
  11. I was quite pleased with how mine turned out. Mine looked just like your before pic (possibly a little worse) and now looks just just like the final pic ahardb0dy... Thanks again guys! ~Jason
  12. As above~ I have some surface rust on my spare tire carrier and here in a min I am going to remove all of that and then shoot it with a primer and then color. It appears that it was black but I am only about 90% sure on that. some areas appear to be really dark grey but I am thinking that is just what happened from the sun. The 2 attachment points to the truck appear to be back~ So just wanted to confirm the original color so I don't change anything ; ) Thanks! ~Jason edit: I went ahead and shot it in flat black. Looks pretty sharp.
  13. If it is going to require a little heat I have that covered. Thanks for the warning.
  14. Hmm. Well I would need to source the new gears. Looks like I will be pulling the crank gear anyway to change the seal as well as the cam wheels.
