Runner - LTL is less then truck load, or as you call it truck freight. I guess I have been working in trucking to long. sorry

Nice job on the winch mount Runner Man. This may be a little far ahead but what about shipping? Do you think it will go LTL or UPS etc... Well, I'll have my truck paid of by June or July, trying to do it early, and I'll be placing an order for the skid plate. Keep up the good work.

Did you check it while the car was running or while the car was cold and off?

How about Jerry Can (sp?) mounts and Hi Lift Jack mounts can they be added?

Is it bottoming out? I knew it was time to replace mine when my back seat passengers started complaining about back problems.

I just changed mine today. Here is a picture of the old one and new one side by side. The old one is the original one with 57,000 + miles on it.

Thanks Vengs. Time flies when you are having fun. I think for my Anniversary I'm going to order some off road lights!!

If it works out I would be interested. Hopefully he will be able to ship. Thanks Veng!

Check this out: Rear tire carrier on ebay Anyone want to give their 2 cents?

Tecc - I just got a new micro filter last week and hopefully will install it this weekend. It comes with instructions and looks pretty easy. I almost have 60,000 miles on the same filter, but then again my car has never been smoked in wacky or none.

Could you fit a factory wheel carrier like what OR99.5Speed has on a Pathy without a carrier like mine?

I can’t remember if I saw Kennesaw Mountain Accessories mentioned on NPORA or if I found them by search, but any why I checked out the web-site and I really like the way their rear wheel carries looked. So I e-mail Kennesaw and Kyle was very prompt to reply. He said they had a rear wheel carrier in the work for the r50 pathfinder but the customer canceled on them. They said as soon as they can get another chassis they would develop one. Check out the web-site and if you like the rear wheel carriers (The Multi-Carrier) let Kyle know. I thing from their web page that price runs about $500 to $675 depending on what you get. And if any one is in the Douglasville, GA area you might want to check it out. I think that is where they are located. Kennesaw Mountain Link Please view my post at the end of this page for a new development! - Vengeful

I used a small hole just to the left of my clutch pedal and below where the hood latch cable goes through. You have to remove the inner finder shell to pull the wires through the firewall. I used it for my grounds and power from the battery. It has about 6, 16 gauge wires going through it and I probably can fit two more. For my 12v power source I used the cigarette lighter. I don’t like cutting factory wiring so I actual took the cigarette lighter apart and attached 3 wire for power from it. So far I use it to power the switch for by backup lights, side lights, xm radio, and I will use it for my top mounted front lights. By they way how many switches can you power from a 12 volt cigarette liter? Would it be possible to power 3 switch, xm radio and a cb radio? I guess I’ll find out.

I have 225/75 /16's on mine and I wish I had purchased 31's and a new set of rims. The 225/75 are a little taller then stock but alot skinner. They kind of look funny but I have to wear these out before I get some 31's. I don't know how 225/75 compare to 215/85 but this is just my 2 cents.

Welcome!! 16 -17 mpg is about average. 18 mpg on a good day. Check the NPORA search. There is a pretty long thread on it. Look forward to seeing some of your future mods and maybe some off roading pics.

10-4 on that.

I envy you both. I got the 2001 5 speed with 3.5 but it's 2wd driver. (but i don't tell her that)

Thanks Veng. Any reason why I should get 15 inch wheels over 16 inch. I'm running 16's stock wheels now.?

Any one fit what Racer had on a OME lift? That's what I plan on doing. Any problems with that? cutting etc? 31's and 15 x 8 with 4inch back spacing.

I agree with Herm. If the pathy is in good condition and almost paid for I would just keep it an mod it out. My wagon should also be paid of in June or July and I plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (and then maybe buy some new ones), granted I only will have about 65,000 miles on it by that time. I rather pay for maintence, repairs, and mods any day then a car note. Plus, I can of like being the under dog in the off road world!

Try using the search, there are a million and one listings on this. I don't know about the Monroe/OME thing but I have OME shocks and springs with KYB struts on my 2wd and love it.

I keep a pretty close eye on my mpg's. My light comes on about about 280 to 290 miles and I wont push it more then to 330miles after the light comes on. About the same as what XPLOR said. I read somewhere the tank was 18.5 gal approx?

Does anyone have a (Close Up) picture of a Waag Front Runner bumper guard with a set of lights mounted to it? (Please see picture below, but I need a closer view). I know many of you say they don’t over much protection but for the wheeling I do, and my pathy is just 2 wheel drive I think it will be fine. The reason I want a closer view is because I want to see if there is some way I can mount a Hi Jack where the lights would mount. (I think you have to buy a separate mounting kit for the lights)…My plan is to start working on body armor by the beginning of next year. I want to get a front runner BG, rear BG and tail light guards. Followed by a set of sliders and skid plate. Thanks

I agree 01. Plus changing my oil every 3,000 miles gives me a chance to check over my Pathy. I have friends the swear by synthetic, but I think I will also stay with my GTX for now. Also changing your oil with synthetic means you can run 5,000 to 10,000 before you next oil change, and I'm just not comfortable with that!

RowOSU - I know all about that 6 CD changer in the 01. I paid $110.00 to get it fixed and 6 months later it's broke again. Luckly I have my XM so I'm ok for now. I'm also going to replace the head unit soon.
