  1. 3M makes that product. lets see some pics of that rolling barn.
  2. looks like you've got a good start...brush guard and the swing out tire carrier. I like those wheels...all it needs is a fleury's lift kit and to fix your engine troubles.
  3. it's all right here brother...Check out the SAS (solid axle swap) threads.
  4. if you have the know how and ability to swap an engine than you should be able to figure out whats wrong with the one you have. It should be lots less work.
  5. before you bother with bumpers, winches, and sliders...I'd get better tires. that should keep the Heeps from pulling you out. or learn what kind of terrain is doable with your stock truck....(no disrespect intended) sometimes not trying an obstacle is as valuable as trying one and failing.
  6. don't know why the 3.0 you've got has issues, the 3.5 may help but why don't you just fix the one you've got?
  7. sorry bro that question is way over my head. I thought all OBD2 systems were the same.
  8. nice set up... I've been procrastinating on my CB install for months. Just a word on your High Lift...Until you get re-enforced bumpers or rock sliders and or a trailer hitch. it is pretty much useless except for being a winch. with a unibody truck without any hardened jack points it will crush your body panels.
  9. the tiny oil filter is on the front driver side of the engine....right above the steering rack bushing. as for the SEL..go and buy a OBD2 reader...it saves a lot of guess work. I got a basic one at princess auto for about $50.00
  10. seams like you've got it covered brother. please explain the big 3....
  11. the iron man lift is a taller/stiffer coil, however not sure where you're going to find them, as there North American distribution seems to be in limbo right now. If you do find them I highly recommend them, the ride is great. though you will want to use a 1 to 2 inch strut spacer to level out the truck, the front springs only lift about 35mm while the rear lifts a little more than 50mm(designed to aid in handling heavy loads) 2inch longer than stock rear shocks will be necessary as well. As for struts KYB seems to be the standard, Rancho used to make some not sure if they still do. Old Man Emu would be my choice next time. Ultimate Suspension Systems out of Australia might be a choice as well.
  12. just scored 2 front abs sensors at the JK, total.....$10.00 yea me!
  13. I get a whine at about 80kph, after that it stops...I asked my dad about it, He's a life long VW mechanic, he said the whine is associated with the large teeth on the diff gears, its a sign of heavy duty stuff.
  14. they would be Ok if you were installing them on a doge neon, but not on an Off Road truck. My KYBs have been good but when they are dead I'll be replacing them with Old Man Emu as they are damped to deal with a lifted truck.
  15. there is a pinned thread on the R50 portion about running 15 inch wheels.....no they wont fit over the larger rotors/brake caliper of 2001+ model years. It might be possible if you are running spacers, or larger back space.
  16. just looked online and autopartsway.ca wants 300.00 per side! Looks like its the JY for me!
  17. well after a few weeks with no issues, the dam light is on again after I replaced both ball joints...I must have pulled a wire during the job now I have to figure out which on or make a trip to the JK and find some used ones......
  18. be aware that not all pathfinders with flares can transfer those flares to one without...I just replaced my driver side front fender..mine is a 00(no flares), the doner was an infinity with flares....the fender lines are just slightly different and the fender has holes for plugs to mount the flares on to ( I filled them) but the front marker light gap is a little bigger and the fender doesn't quite line up with the hood.
  19. the arm for the jack is about 4' long....it is also the tool to let down the under car spare tire.
  20. I really like the colour! can't believe its in such great shape, then I saw that it has 100,000 km less than mine. did you get it from some grandma who only drove it to church on sundays?
  21. plugs good? Oil pressure? I'd start with at compression test.....after 28yrs I bet things just might be worn out.
  22. replaced both ball joints.....what a PITA! who knew you have to remove the half shaft to get the dam thing out? only took about 4hrs. bad news there is still a "clunk" somewhere up front when going over stutter bumps....I've now narrowed it down to sway bar bushing or steering rack.....hope its the bushing as I can live with that for awhile. next up....a trip to the JK for a new trailer hitch (one that doesn't hang so far down) and a few other odds and ends.
  23. nice job...did you get them to check the for the just in the front strut perches? follow the thread "Oh Crap" and check out the factory recall issue.
