  1. I am also dying to have a DVD drop down screen so I am thinking when I do the mod I am going to carefully nix the sunglass holder and try to splice a screen in its place. If successful pics will follow, if failed, it shall never again be spoken of. Since I will need to run the temp sensor to the console, and hopefully a video cable, I might as well get the dimming accessory power as well. That should be fun all in all. I came extremely close to buying the new console today (found one at an awesome price) but I couldn't figure out how to remove the damn thing without breaking it. I was hoping the screw inside the sunglass case was the keystone, but removing it didn't seem to loosen anything. Any tips on removal? I think I read somewhere else that I might need to tap into the spedo for something. Is this true? There are no fuel related readouts are there (average mpg, miles remaining on tank)?
  2. I just added an '01 pathy to my family. I desperately wantt o replace my current overhead console with the version that has a digital compass built on. I know the mounts are all compatible and that the cover on my non-sun roofed pathy will snap into the switch spot of the replacement. Three questions are... 1. Do I need to run accessory power to the console or can I use the power that the map lights already have? 2. Does the unit have everything the compass needs built in or are there extra parts I need to snag from the donor vehicle? 3. Does the unit have the outside temp also and again what else should I snag from the donor to make it work? Thanks!
  3. Ha, thats cool, i used to live in Centennial, went to Eaglecrest high for a few years...

  4. I wish the weather was more permitting to go try these things now. Freak snow storm here. Is it hard to adjust the rear latch? I never knew you could do that.
  5. Theres definately some shaking of the truck when opening and closing. I almost feel like i am trying to tackle someone when I am closing it just to make sure it latches all the way. I wil try the blaster and oil tomorrow. Thanks for the tip. Here's another one I am not sure if I am unique with...closing the rear glass. On mine, I have to set it shut, then do something similar to a chest compression over the catch to latch it. Everyone else tries slamming it shut, which of course never works, but makes a very loud scary noise. So annoying.
  6. The stock swing arm on my '89 has gone from resistant to open and close to damn near impossible. I have WD-40'd it, loosened all the mounting bolts (in case it was somehow tweaked) and nothing helps. I was ready to tear the thing off and just do a safari cage with the tire on top, but I have heard I could have leaking problems with my moonroof. I have seen some really cool aftermarket swing arms for the xterra with the third brake light but nothing for the pathies. The swing arm is in good shape and has not been involved in any scrapes before. Has anyone else had this problem?
  7. My pathy is pretty much stock with some questionably pretty add-ons from standard auto parts stores. I don't really go off-road with it yet. Where would be the best place for me to start?
  8. Let me know when the next mod day is happening, I really want to attend and help.
  9. I have had a car totalled before (not the pathy) and kept it, they just wouldn't pay to fix it.
  10. I used to work up there off Havana and I-70. An old friend of mine is the general manager of that Harkins. I did some projection consulting there. I am just off Broadway and C470.
  11. I'd love to help with the lift and whatnot when the time comes. So excited to actually dig into things in my engine! -bounce- -bounce- -bounce- Whereabouts in the Denver area are you Trance? Oh, I love tearing things off and trying to get them back on, so long as they don't directly deal with the things that make the car move or stop.
  12. Wow, thats some tenure. I wish I had your knowledge when it comes to my pathy. So many things I wish I could tackle with no clue or confidence to dig in.
  13. 1989 Maroon 2 Door. I wish I had gotten more cool driving pictures during the blizzard, but what can ya do...
  14. Thanks for the help. Its nice having a more personalized look in my messages. :cool2:
  15. Awesome. I would love to participate. I am fairly good with electrical but am lost on mechanical and desperately want to learn more. I just learned how to post pictures so here is my rig. This was of course the first blizzard last December.
