I wanted to share with you guys what's happened on July 3rd.. So i took my family to Echo Lake to do some fishing and to let the kids run around.. also to finally test out these new tires out and they did way better than my all terrains. Anyway once we made it down to the lake bed I saw a nice new jeep planted in the mud! Naturally I got excited because I get to help get this thing unstuck. I could see there wasn't anyone over there but the hood was up and the driver door was wide open. We waited around for as long as possible but didn't want to stay there all day so on the way out I drove over to the other side where the jeep was to see if I could just winch it out and leave it there for them when they got back. Well when I got closer I saw a kids baseball helmet on the ground and a busted driver window. When I got right up on it I saw that there were circuit boards hanging from under the steering wheel and the dash was bashed to pieces...! I threw my hands up and backed away. No winching that puppy out... my wife took down the plates and we got the heck out of dodge. When I got home I put the plates in some search engine and turned up the VIN. With the VIN I used research.com to see what the deal was with this thing and wouldn't you know it... STOLEN!!! I called the criminal investigator and left him a message but he still hasn't called me back.. After talking to some people about it, maybe the guy got stuck and blew his transmission trying to get out so he staged a theft and reported it stolen. Apparently insurance just pays it after 30 days if it isn't found.. anyway I did my part. Isn't that wild?!? Needless to say we won't be going back down there and it is time to find a new spot.

I will be very interested to see if your p0420 code goes away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can do it! Pics when you do please [emoji1303] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Are you sure tdc is on compression? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It did indeed! My camera is messing up on my phone.. it won't focus. I guess it is on the way out. Micah has me thinking about getting a real camera. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hmmm.. mine surges slightly until I reach 3k RPM. I have a P0420 code as well. I looked at my cats, pre and main, while I had my engine out and they were fine. I still have this P0420 code.. maybe it is a dirty o2 sensor. Unfortunately I neglected to investigate any further than to see whether or not the cats were toast.. I'm subscribed.

I think this is going to work just fine. I've got everything all buttoned up but it got too dark to take a good photo. Man... I will never ever get in that kind of mud again. Thank you guys for all the advice and kindnesses. I'll get some pics up tomorrow of it all buttoned up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did decide to try to wash the carpet instead of replace it. I think it went pretty well. I used a half bleach and half simple green solution to soak everything down. After it sat for 10-15min I pressure washed the crud out of it! I pressure washed for every bit of an hour and still there is murky water coming from the padding. If I continued any further on the padding it would have deteriorated. So that hole is right where my heal touches the floor while pressing the gas peddle. I plan to cut a square out just bigger than the hole and I'll use the carpet that goes under the rear passenger seats to fill the square. I'll use the padding in the last picture there to better insulate that spot. Actually I need to better insulate that entire area. I might try to figure something out for that like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006LNWE7W/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1498953674&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=insulating+mat&dpPl=1&dpID=61GkORDmm0L&ref=plSrch Edit: nah that costs money... I'd like to also find the thickest possible floor mats. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like the older tail lights better too. I also like the badges without the plastidip better. The only reason I did mine is because I don't like how big "QX4" and "INFINITI" are. I sort of like the Infiniti symbol itself but not the rest. Infiniti sounds feminine to me.. I actually always say mine is Nissan instead of Infiniti when asked. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dude [emoji23] that was hilarious Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Do the marker lights not look exactly the same? Or am I confused.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I checked all my fluids and found no water. I think breathers for differentials and transmissions, or any gearbox where the oil inside isn't displaced(i.e. not a hydraulic reservoir), do their breathing during heat cycles. It would sort of be like trying to fill a large sealed vessel with a small hose that has a hook in it by submerging it in water. I guess that's not a good analogy since that's already exactly what it is... but while the air does want to escape and be replaced with the higher density fluid I believe the hook at the end works to overcome that.. I think... at any rate I didn't end up with water intrusion in any of my gearboxes and I'm pretty sure at least my front diff was submerged. I forgot to hook the breather extension back up after replacing the engine and left a wad of electrical tape on the instead. Luckily it didn't blow the seals.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would clean it but the smell of it is like a dead animal.. you know my shoes sometimes get this way and the one and only thing I've found that resets the stank is bleach. Other chemicals greatly reduce the stench but it always quickly returns.. I guess I could soak it in bleach.. money is tight for a little while so this is likely to be what actually happens. Only problem with that is the heel shaped hole right under the gas peddle which gets nearly as hot as the sun.. hmmm.. I just don't know.. Jose, I drove into a ridiculously deep mud hole and stalled out right in the middle. Every spot possible leaked in, half way up the door speakers...! I crunk the engine and forced it to run after hydrolocking it and lost my engine also.. winched out and barely limped to the paved road and got a tow home. I just finished replacing the motor here a month or two ago. Not worth it at all in the slightest.. it is WAY neater to create a path around such obstacles.. Anyway I will keep you guys posted which ever route I take. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dude you saved yourself a mountain of trouble.. I just got finished replacing my engine due to water intrusion in very deep mud. Not fun! I am pretty sure my breathers were VERY close to being submerged.. the trans and tcase are, like neilca said, on top of the bell housing and the front diff is on the driver side of the engine. Front diff is probably more exposed than the trans and tcase. We need to see if we can intake from the passenger cowl if it's big enough.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The only electrical issues are my driver seat's backrest motor is toast, my mids and highs amp is toast, and I'm pretty sure all the speakers except the tweeters are toast. I'm really not sure about the speakers but they made some crazy noises before they were completely submerged.. after that they were silent... haha Dude! I checked on new carpet pricing using google the first time I sunk my vehicle and it was almost $500. I had written off replacing the carpet until I considered pull-a-part but now that I can have brand new fully heat shielded and padded carpet for $150 I am definitely buying new. Thank you very much hawairish! Haha yeah my kids are banned from eating in the car just because of that. My MDX is super saturated with food spills! Here's how I cleaned it out... https://youtu.be/ZsgJRaFX5GA Now I'm getting ready to pull every plug and clean with electrical contact cleaner and compressed air! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have started getting ready to replace my carpet after I went for a swim in the deep end. I plan to go to pull-a-part tomorrow to find a new carpet. I snapped a couple pics to show you guys how bad it really was.. Thanks PO.. Yep so I really want to find black carpet but I'll settle for anything clean! Also tomorrow I'm going to get my black center caps and black lugs! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Dude I'm glad you got it!!! How was rebuilding the distributor? I'd like to do the bearings in mine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My issue has persisted with an entire different engine so I would definitely say that the MAF is likely our problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sounds like bad MAF or injectors.. I would lean toward MAF. I have a lesser form of your same issue. Finicky until EXACTLY 3k RPM then it opens up and takes off like a rocket(bottle rocket...) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's these theoretical trails that I want to be able to blaze. We need thorough undercarriage armor and a tight front bumper/brush guard. Also a good chainsaw is a must. And our diffs will need to be locked up as I suspect sharp inclines with very loose top soil and debris will abound. I wish I lived near the Rockies... you're blessed to be in such a beautiful place.
