      Bring your truck here, I'll weld the frame together for ya, lol.

      I would take Adamzan up on that offer and be done with it.

    4. adamzan

      Send me some pic's of how bad it is.

  2. I still can't figure out why people look at me funny when I drive down the road with mud on the truck.

    1. gv280z

      gv280z

      it makes me feel self conscious, and people are like "So you're the one leaving mud tracks everywhere!"

      I've been pulled over for it. I forgot we aren't allowed to have fun here anymore...

      Whenever I get done wheelin, I make sure my windows, mirrors, lights, and license plate are clean. The rest of it can stay!

  3. Nothing on how to remove the emergency brake pads in the FSM....typical.

      Pretty easy, just like miniature drum brakes.

      Not to worry, I have none anyway! That means that it's the piston in the caliper that's stuck.... not yay...boo, in fact.

  4. I believe that my "late-install" "frame reinforcement" is holding well.... i.e.: just spent the weekend welding the frame back together!

      I always jump a local bridge and if it holds I sell it.

      One more Pathfinder being kept on the road, great work!

      My 94 has been patched so many times. Like the whole frame front to back is plated. I wheel it without any worry. Probably stronger than it was new.

  5. Oh I do love having rear wheel drive in the parking lot!

    1. kdj

      kdj

      I agree. Steer left, stab gas,do a 360 and hope to hit a random empty parking spot.

      I work next door to the police station... I was playing a couple years ago and a new cadet almost shot me. The chief was like stand down officer!!! It's just Frank, he's cool.

      adamzan

      Would not want to live in a place where they would shoot you for doing that...

  6. straight pipe exhaust right through the damn hood! YAAAhhhh!!!

      this is some hoodrat stuff.... i approve

      Make sure you've got an old beans can to put over the end when you park in the rain.

  7. Day-yam I don't like doing electrical work.... worked for 9 hours to find out that the digital multi-meter is the problem...wow.

  8. Oh crap...just to it to the car wash and I now have a passenger with wet toes....

    1. Pav

      Pav

      Not fun...it came up through the floor?

    2. RIPB.88

      Most Likely a leaking windshield. Spray water on the roof and see where it comes in.

  9. Still wonderin' why the rear wiper doesn't work....

    1. Reshma

      Reshma

      It's telling you that you don't need it

      When I first bought my Pathy I had the same problem, tracked it down to a bad connection at the motor.

  10. I have a Pathfinder... it needs help, I need time to help it.

    1. adamzan

      adamzan

      so are you keeping it?

    2. SpecialWarr

      SpecialWarr

      Ahhh... it seems to be getting worse and worse without my attention. I might not be able to keep it as long as I thought. But it's value is close to zero at this point. My dad removed the interior up to the front seats to get firewood into it. My sister is "tired" of looking at it. Maybe it needs a home where it will be appreciated / saved / taken apart and ..  ?? ...spread around to other still running Pathys?

  11. Audi A3 3.2L v6.... yea or nay?? I've hears that they are a bit demanding in terms of maintenance... Opinions?

    1. Faulcun

      Faulcun

      ALL european cars are expensive to maintain. My rule of thumb is to stay away from euro, and usa domestic cars. I get customers all the time who find a sweet deal on a bmw or mercedes or whatever else, and have a heart attack when the repair bill is written.

       

      With that being said, if you like it, go for it. Just remember, cars will always decrease in value, but the cost to repair them does not.

    2. SpecialWarr

      SpecialWarr

      Well.... I pulled the trigger on the A6 3.2l... full maintenance records and nothing interesting to see there. So here;s hoping that this car does better than the gen 2 Xterra that I just sold as a major loss!!

  12. Hey look at that... I just tipped over the 1000 posts benchmark! YAY!!!

  13. just thinking about how much work is invloved in pulling an inner cv..

    1. Nefarious

      Nefarious

      only takes a couple hours to swap out the cv, not a big deal if you go right at it

       

  14. Can I just say that I hate doing electrical work outdoors at -17C...

    1. adamzan

      adamzan

      Electrical tape is a pain to use when it's this cold, huh? You can come use my garage, if you can make it out here, lol.

  15. AND a boogered tie rod... damn... I hate wear.

    1. Pav

      Pav

      ouch...time waits for no man or truck...

  16. I hate it when I find electrical things that don't work during winter.....*sigh*

    1. Pav

      Pav

      What doesn't want to work?

  17. I miss my pathfinder....and now my Xterra is eating wheel bearings. *sigh* when does it end?

    1. adamzan

      adamzan

      Pathfinder for life.

  18. I miss my Pathfinder.... not the 16mpg.... but I have officially requested an authorization to replace the frame with a custom build, cross your fingers for a thumbs up!!

    1. SpecialWarr

      SpecialWarr

      And that's a big NO to the fabricated frame from the government. damnit.

  19. Wow... stable idle and vacuum readings... that's soooo weird!! Now for the Tension Rodz...

  20. why am I not smart enough to fix elecritical things?

  21. Aww really!?? Ball Joints? I hate doing ball joints.

  22. Ball joints and tie-rod sets are up for replacement this week. Looking forward to being done that!

  23. Ball joints and tie-rod sets are up for replacement this week. Looking forward to being done that!

  24. wondering why it is that I always pick vehicles that are difficult to find parts for..... sigh... 2005 Tomos... parts ordered from the other side of the planet.

  25. oooo.. alternator swap... in the rain.
