  1.  

    Mine never goes over half way after I replaced the fan clutch.

     

    Truck is for sale, you need a 4 door, keep saying that, "I need a 4 door, I need a 4 door" LOL

     

    I would like to have a 4 door. I would really like to have your truck but right now it's not in the budget.

    I don't think my problem was even the mechanical fan. I was short on water. I just went ahead and put the electrical fan for those times I dip into some water. I plan on putting it to a relay that I can kill so I don't wear out this fan under water. We are almost done with my friends z71 and then I plan on doing a little more to the truck.

  2. Swapped the steering wheel for a junkyard one I got today, replaced the screw in rubber bumpers for the hood, replaced the underhood insulation, replaced the plastic ramp the spare tire carrier sits on, replaced the transfer case shifter knob with a leather one from a LE, installed a transfer case boot

     

    How about I just drop my truck over at your place for a few weeks, lol.

  3. Swapped out the grille from the one I have with the lights in it to the Hardbody grille that I painted (was Chrome, Thanks to EZlife for the grille !), Truck is close to the house and there is a car behind it so I had to take angled pics for now, it looks pretty good and no more gap against the corner lights

     

     

     

    Looks good. What are you going to do with the old grille and hella lights? I did not know that grille would work with pathfinder turn signals. I didn't use it cause the chrome signals that came with it were much wider around the edges. I figured if you used the grille you had to use the turn signals, lol.

  4. I'm new to wheeling, always been a tuner guy, when I got my pathy I got it because people said it was pretty capable off road, but my question is why? Just cause it weighs so freaking much? (1000lbs more than a Cherokee)

    But as for pulling people out and such, we are so underpowered... Is it the weight distribution? Or does everyone have LSD except me?? :(

    The suspension is very forgiving. Every time I drive through mud it just seems like the truck slides along. No matter how deep the wheels go if one of them can touch anything it will keep moving. It's definitely not for pulling heavier trucks out. I have did it twice and both times I was simply beating on my clutch and snatching harder then you should.

     

    Calibeater I am learning this. We have a place out here called no mans land. I have it made it most of the way across without falling into anything serious. Everyone says they haven't seen anything bigger then an atv make it in years. lol. Maybe with a little more experience and popping the pins like you said I can make a name for the pathfinder.

  5. Last weekend I crawled St. Francis hill in Ocala National Forest. Most of you guys could probably do it on a big wheel but it was a first for me watching the driver rear tire hover in a hole while I continued to crawl forward. Later I took an alternative path next to a 300 foot long canal. I was the only one who had that option because the the alt. path was so thin and eroded. I gained a lot of confidence.

  6. Put a drop of water on the hood, then use your finger and rub the water around with your thumb applying as much pressure as you can. If the spot looks shiny then you may need to buff out the hood. You can buy LIGHT buffing compound at any auto zone exc. Get a couple terry cloth towels and put your elbow brace on. The compound will turn black as you rub it into a 6 inch area. Take a clean towel and scrub it till all the black comes off. Now it should be shiny. After you are done with the whole hood wax it and keep it waxed. If you can't get the hood shiny with water or compound then you already need clear coat. The bad part is if you have the hood painted it will never exactly match the fenders. If you want it to match you will need to paint the whole car or find a shop that will do a fade. They will paint the hood, dust the fenders and then clear coat all 3 panels. Buff the rest of the car to match the fresh clear coat. Alot of shops will tell you this is substandard work but quite a few reputable dealers paid me to do it and I gladly gave a 1 year warranty in Florida's sun.

  7. Took the alternator apart and freed up the stuck brush. Drilled holes in the housing for the brush. Maybe now the dirt will wash out instead of staying behind the brush. Relocated the computer to the glove box. By relocated I mean I cut the back of the glove box out and crammed the computer in there.

  8. Well a few weeks later and no problems. I really appreciate the help and support from everyone here. This is a great group of people. I do however believe that npora membership should include a pass to Mr.510's shop. As a matter of fact, an Npora pit crew would be great. Short of that it doesn't get any better. Thanks again.

  9. When the mso is turned into the DMV, it is easy to over look the words, off road use only. As far as the enduro goes I think you would be better off picking up a 4 stroke dirt bike. You can carry it with a hauler that slides into your reese hitch and carries the bike against the back of the truck. A water cooled 250 or 450 four stroke would do fine in the woods. If you still would rather have an enduro check out a drz 450. They are light, dependable and can be bought for around $2500. Put mid-knobby tires, a good o-ring chain and keep the oil changed. It will last for years. As far as your 109, if it's an m series you should check into the Dunlop Elite 3 250/40 18. This will get you more miles mainly by slowing down the problem of one sided tire wear. If not bridgestone offers a very high mileage tire for the c109.
