  1. They usually have 5-10 pathfinders/QX4s at each location and they’re usually pretty torn into by the time I get down there but I have seen several that were pristine.

    I’ve only come across 1 dizzy though.. I think some of the Nissan Quest engines have the same dizzy though and those are never torn into.

  2. Norcross is the closest I’ve been able to find any that are unsupervised.

    U Wrench It

    These are right next to each other. I was literally just telling my wife that I feel like I’ve been at the adult playground today haha

    One of my pet peeves with my QX4 has been the engine oil dipstick. I can’t figure out for the life of me where the damn level is half the time and it just shouldn’t be like that. Today I went to the junkyard and checked a ton of dipsticks until I finally found a match!

    It’s a quarter inch longer but doesn’t cause any issue. I did have to sand down the plastic portion that enters the tube leading down to the engine.

     

    I am what looks like about 1.5 quarts past full... When I hear the lifters clacking I usually check the oil right away and since I couldn’t see the friggin oil level I added oil for no reason, twice. I had to add a quart or so every 5000 miles before I did the head gaskets so that’s why I thought I needed more oil.

     

    I’m quite glad to be rid of that dipstick.

     

    Edit: haha I guess it’d be kind of me to include the vehicle it came from! It was a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo.

    haha yeah they squeeze in. Nah i keep all the stuff in the back tightly packed in a box and the stuff in the front fits in the center console, glove box, and behind the seats. I actually left some stuff out like my muck boots and ratchet straps, among other things. If i ever get around to building a new sound system then i'll have to rethink what all stays.

  6. Saturday I welded my exhaust back together.. it was extremely difficult! I had to turn the MIG all the way down to 14 volts and wire speed was at 85.

     

    I basically had to spot weld the crack all the way around until it was completely solid, then I drug the weld over the spots for larger surface area penetration. If I slowed down at all it’d blow a hole in the pipe instantly.
