    What did you do to your Pathfinder today?

    Ok from the last week everything came off of a 94

    d994a664-22a7-4fbe-a285-d642092c8165.jpg

    speaker mount and front bracket, you could get by without the bracket but it only takes a couple of minutes to pull it 2 screws per side

    the main problem is the 94 headliner is narrower the 88 or the 2 doors

    so what I did was cut off 33 inches of the 94 headliner so all I had was enough to cover the speaker assembly

    I cut the 88 headliner at 34 inches then pulled back an inch of fabric and re trimmed it to 33 inches

    I haven't re glued the fabric and you'll notice the shoulder harness in place also

    now for the shoulder harness without measuring I thought Id be able to use the 94 trim panel but as you can see there is a difference

    so I slotted the 88 and notched it

    The seatbelts were really no problem, but as was mentioned to me by someone who likes pink make sure you get all the parts and make sure they go back in the right order :laugh: :laugh:

    Well no problems with the map light, used a motodremel to do the metal trimming and an exacto knife on the head liner picked up the hot lead from hot wire going to the dome light. :dance: :dance:

    Pulled trim panels and rear headliner, positioned speaker panel and drilled mounting holes, ran speaker wires to the side panel speakers and removed side speakers, the speaker cones were still in one piece but I decided to delete them.

    Started installing new head liner and it looked a little odd, when I started installing the trim panels I could see the problem, seems like the four door headliners are about 4 inches narrower, length is good just the width.

    So I'm either going to have to rework newer trim panels or splice the 2 headiners.

    maybe both.

    it's all in and sounds good it just looks crappy. :angry: :angry:

    There are mounting threads for the shoulder harness :D

    Another run to pick a part, picked up the map light? that goes by the rear view mirror, also the rear headliner with the speakers and bracket all for the 88.

    I noticed when I pulled the front headliner that there were holes for a grab rail on the drivers side, I knew they were there on the 4 doors, something else to add to the list.

    I think someone mentioned awhile back that the 2 doors had the mounts for the shoulder harness for the outer back seats, will check and see. Pics coming as I do the rear headliner.

    I didn't take any pics of the map lights as I know it has been done before.

    Oh I also found a 93 owners manual so it was a pretty good day scrounging

    If you stuck it before putting it in 4wdrive that could have been your problem. with the auto hubs it takes a few feet for them to engage when they're working properly.

    also I wouldn't recommend driving around in low range on a hard surface

    don't forget the HB marker lights to get the complete blend with the grill! And I always kinda liked the off centered badge on that grill... Kinda old Ranger-esqe if you get what I mean (or just constantly switch it around screwing with people.

    The rt side marker was busted up. the left needed paint so we'll be looking for a rt side, maybe I'll stick the left on when the paint drys. We'll add a rt side marker to our list

    we also have the 4WD emblem, but I think I'll leave it off

    SE owners - What's you gas mileage?

    Thanks. I assume you mean it was under-clocking? I don't want to discover that it's 'out' the other way (i.e. getting worse mpg)! 8>(

     

    I was thinking I might take the mileage off google maps for a ~20 mile trip, for a check. I don't have no fancy gps, and mile markers are usually out of town quite a ways.

     

    She's getting down to almost 1/4 full and I haven't hit 200 miles yet(!) By my reckoning, that's too damn close to 10.5 - 11.0mpg (what my old gas guzzler got).

     

    Shaggy

    refill at a 1/4 tank and see what it takes, my 88 drops fast to a 1/4 tank and I still have almost a 1/2 tank.

    The 94 seems to to hang on full then drops fast to 1/4 fuel light comes on at empty and I still have almost 3 gals left. 94 gets about 18 1/2 on the freeway at 70-75

    thats loaded with about 300 lbs of junk and a 100 lb lab, wife and I add about another 330 lbs

    Was told i need to buy a Jeep...hahaha

    I love that part..

     

    I have quite a few friends that are jeep guys and a few that are yota guys. we all grew up together and wheel'n is wheel'n to us.

    I have a friend that has a H233B in the rear of his wrangler and another friend with a cherokee that wants to do the same. They actually want to run the H233B front Diamond axle as well..

     

    Some people get stuck in this 'I have a jeep so I'm better than you' mentality but at leat jeep clubs generally let anyone wheel with them. When i started Rugged Rocks all i did was wheel with jeep guys. Sadly I can't say the same for Land Rover clubs that I've come across.

    Just remind them LRs were first built on jeep frames, that always p-sses them off :laugh: :laugh: Then p-ss off a jeep owner tell em it aint a jeep if it doesn't say Willys on the tailgate

    Yeah I'm an x 69 cj5 owner and I miss it at times, but the pathy is sure a lot more comfortable to these ole bones :) :)
