SWOMtalkinbout!

one of the car salesman (i think he mighta been in charge of buying trade-ins) at the Nissan dealership offered me 5K for mine today. i asked him "just lookin at it, what makes you think it's worth 5K?" he said "well i just added a couple grand onto the worth so that i can get you to sell it to me" no way i'm sellin my pathy

oh, yeah, i remember reading some crappily-made-up acronyms like those ones. none of them were too great or were too insulting

what bad can someone say about a Nissan?

i'd say something but idk what an interference motor is and i don't like how everyone has to hate on other brands. if you wheel your truck, then it's all good. i don't care what kinda rig you got, as long as it works good.

neither do i. especially since i took 3 weeks off from work, but i'm gonna charge it anyway! lol. this'll be worth it.

hm, without pulling off my door panels to check out the wiring(which i probably won't get around to doing), from what i can remember from installing my front speakers you have to unscrew the lock, unscrew the one screw holding the arm rest on, slide the arm rest towards the back of the vehicle, remove 2 other screws, and pop off the little shroud around the door handle (it pops off when you try and remove the whole panel--don't worry, you won't break it) and remove the whole door panel by pulling the bottom end away from the door then pushing up on the panel (cuz it kinda wraps around the body where the window goes in) and i think that's it. mind you this is coming from a guy with an '88

idk exactly how to word this question, but can you keep your stock gears with 33" tires and make up for the power loss by increasing your horsepower?

i had my bumper brackets cut in half, like the ones above, and a piece of metal pipe to bridge the two pieces together instead of butting the two halves up and only welding a small section of metal together. the bumper relocation brackets that came with AC's body lift weren't worth Jack.

omg, i thought my capacity was a lil over 17 for the longest time. then one day at the pump i saw it go to 18gallons and that blew my mind! now it's 21! dang. lol. my gas gauge definitely lies to me though. my first quarter tank is about 7 gallons!

yeah, my owner's manual says 3 5/8 and i have the v6, auto trans, 4wd and stuff. and that's how much i put in. does anyone else's engine idle higher after they change their oil? mine does. but then after a few weeks or a month w/ the new oil it drops down to normal.

#2= Statutory Ape. do we all have to get the same kinda headers? by same kind i mean coated/ crhome w/e. cuz idk which one i want for sure.

is it true that these headers don't work if you have a lifted truck? and i can make a commitment no problem.

i'm interested!

i got mine for free! :tonguefinger: some dummy didn't want it anymore, so now it's mine. it only had one problem at the time which was squeaky steering because it was out of PS fluid. i've had it for a year and a half now and the only other problem was a water pump failure which was no big deal. also, my friend even has problems with his 94 Toyota pickup. that's more problems than i'd have with my pathy anytime!

haha. i made a thread sayin the exact same thing when i was new here. they work for auto's. i put one on mine here's a link to one. you can find lots of other aftermarket parts for your pathy on this site as well. http://www.4x4parts.com/public_html/shop/i...420978978e5628b

do you need anything else other than a better CL?

damn! i never thought of that when i made a list of all the upgrades i want

hah. i got the same jerry can w/ the same wussy strap. except i mounted mine like this except the mounts are beefier now and on a different part on the tire rack. now i have an ammo box where that jerry can holder used to be. i think it's pretty sweet.

man, that tire looks HUGE on the back. can you see anything around that tire? lol

so what's a good price for their UCA's?

i'm not even seeing the pix at all. that looks like a mix of html to me, but i'm not expert

idk yet. at the time i didn't have the money to fill it w/ gas. but i get paid today so we shall see! lol.

since i can't start a thread in the "How-To" section, i'll make one here. alright, so i bought a jerry can and the holder for it at the local Riebes for 56.82 USD. 2 "Flat Plates" at home depot (that stuff your garage door track is suspended by) 2 1-1/4" U-bolts (1-1/4" is the diameter of your stock spare tire rack) and 2 1/4" lock nuts for the u-bolts. i already had the rest of the hardware handy, mostly leftover hardware from my AC body lift kit (it doesn't really matter what size hardware you use for the rest) here's a pic of all the parts i had to buy (minus the jerry can): http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/IMGP0379.jpg i then cut 4 14" sections of the flat plate, and one 13" section. two of the 14"sections went horizontally alongside the jerry can holder on the top and two of the bottom, and one 13" section went diagonally for support (it's not in this next picture, but you get the point. it went from hole to hole) i fastened all the sections of flat plate with washers and lock nuts. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/IMGP0380.jpg then i had to beat the u-bolts over the tubing on my tire rack. this bent the ends of the U's outwards, but i bent them back as shown in this next pic. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/IMGP0381.jpg the 2x4 gave the u-bolts a solid surface with which to beat them against with a hammer. this bent the u-bolts back into place so that they would align with the holes in the flat plate. all that's left to do is fasten the jerry can holder to the u-bolts, and voila! you've mounted yourself a jerry can holder. the whole thing cost me 70.99 USD and about a half hour of work. http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b95/ch620/IMGP0383.jpg
