NaturaTek

a dehydrated peanutbutter/jelly in a trusty ziploc bag, in my aluminum wonder woman lunch box.

14.95 at walmart. Looks like a mini cooler with the words "actionpacker" on side. I keep jumper cables, fluids, tow rope, ratchet straps in it. lol i dont know how to use jumper cables yet but figure I have it.

Just like msavides just said. Dang, one more time..like msavides said, I thought that whole shifter is a diff system, so it made sense to me N was default while my normal driving was in D. And that diagram on the knob just dont help a newb. If you look at it, it looks like N is default and you suppose to push UP for 2h and 4h. or down from N to 4l. Let alone i didnt know anything about pushing inwards then push down. You guys explained that all for me now and I understand the principle of the diagram. Thanks to for all the patience!

Oh you made that vid? You are the man. Hmm it might not be a bad idea to try mines while pathy OFF so see if I can get the reflex, maybe help rule out that my tcase is good or bad. I try in bit

OMFG, now where was that video at when I needed it? See a noob like me looked at the diagram on the knob and kept thinking pushing up was 4h and default sitting was in N. Its like the knob of a manual transmission, you see where to push for gears and follow em. Man..I was pushing up like a mofo, when in reality wasnt even suppose to go up, lol. I'm still thinking something wrong with my transfer case, now that I can push and pull down, I hear some grinding noise I immediately pull back up. Yes I have the tranny in N and in a full stop while doing all this. And watching that video, he does everything so smoothly..no noise. Since I'm a noob I don't wanna mess things up. And knowing that one down is 4H, its really all I need, 4l might be for extreme cases, but for now 4h is suffice. It almost sound like theres a big chain spinning fast and grinding on the side of the case shifter, vibrates. Maybe might shiat needs oil. I'll leave it alone for now, but I'll try again another day. Thanks!

C'mon..I was just testing you guys, I know theres no such thing as a starter belt, :cough: Are the muffler bearings in the belt removal process? Service like in greasing them?

don't worry, on about the 36th time I'll get it!

LOL, I'm really sinking myself as a noob, fruck!! You know what I meant, cough

I was looking under pathy to just see what it looks like underneath, and on a belt in the front, I noticed it was missing some rubber squares and kinda peeling on a edge. My cousin confirmed this as it was missing a couple of 'teeth' on the belt. He told me I can still drive like that and it look like it wont break no time soon, he told me to get belts and he'll change em out. I dont know, but missing anything doesnt seem like good idea to drive. Is it easy to change these belts by a noobie (me)? I have the chiltons and haynes manual for my 90pathy. I have some basic tools and access to 'advanced' tools if needed. Or is this best left to a mechanic?

Hey I'm still a noobie, but if you can afford it, get new tires. That 4wheel parts.com has a instant 60bucks off on a set of BFG and similar for other tires, plus free shipping (no tax too) for me its 483bucks shipped on a set of bfg ATs. 31's. Reason I say that, is I also did get some CHEAP used 2 tires on craigslist and someone gave me 2 other ones. LMAO I had mixed match tires, bridgestone dueller, michellin something, another radial....I was just desperate to take of those mini stock tires and get 31's. BUT there were occasional no gripping and hydroplaning tripled for me. It just snowed in NJ couple of days ago, and anxious to test in snow. Horrible! I would drive15mph and brake soft, and the car just skidded gently to the right. The front tires where worst. Maybe you might luck out on that set. Definitely dont get mixed match of all types threads like I did, lmao i'm such a noob. I'll never get used tires again..somethings are best left to buying new. Maybe if a guy drove a new set for 5,000 miles and he just wanted bigger and sold for a nice price, I might buy, if i'm short on cashola

Those are 15x8, then they have the 15x10 with 4.5back spacing for a little more money. I'm not gonna even ask what backspacing is before yozsi flames me.. But will 15x10 fit on a stock 90 pathy with 31 bfgs?

Are these procomp rockcrawler rims equivalent to the cragar soft 8? http://www.4wheelparts.com/PDT63883.aspx full picture here: http://www.4wheelparts.com/aux_incl/images...&partNo=PCW I want to take advantage of 4 bfg at 31 x 10.50 for 483$ with free ship. NO cragars on 4wheel parts. I think the above looks like them and if i'm not mistaken they do come with those center caps.

hey mich, what type of rims and tires are those, looks hot!

if you talking about the vid .mov when someone grabs the shifter and pulls down, I seen that 5 second clip, again, nothing on PUSHING in before down, and you guys helped explain the diagram. I thought one down was 4l but in reality it was 4h.

WTF, those threads didn't say to PUSH down towards ground and then Pull down, they were topics on shifting on the fly. Why are a couple of you flaming. I never drove let alone had a '4x4', first time engaging it, even some people here posted similar experiences. And the way the knob is diagramed I thought one down was 4l when in fact its 4H. I admitted I'm a noobie, wth don't flame me though. I'm sure you are a noobie in networking 100plus computers to a server domain, if you asked for help I wouldnt flame you..I know I know you just jealous of my noobie 4x4 skills, don't hate

Thanks sammy and csutke, tirerack looks good, I can read reviews of tires and summitracing I'll check in a bit at home. This pathfinder is a gas loving fool, I might not get mud ones if its gonna add to my forty bucks every 2 to 3 days in gas ritual lol. I hate some of my local friends here, dang ppl telling me don't waste money in the pathfinder, but yet I see them pouring thousands into their hooptie early years hondas and still looks and sounds horrible. One thing I learned, which applies to everything. NO ONE is gonna love your ride more than you. Not your mechanic, your family mechanic, etc. Hell no one is gonna love anything you own more than you, triple hell..no one is gonna love your body more than you, no doctor no therapist..you love you the most.

I'm gonna buy a new set of tires/rims. This is my deal, I have about maybe 800-900$ spending limit. I'm thinking of bfg at, but I really want the bfg Mud terrain. Do I offroad a lot? none at the moment, but I would like to a few times when I can. I admit, I love the way mud terrain looks...so it's basically I would buy those for cosmetic looks. Would I suffer in gas mileage driving mud terrain tires on highway to work and back? I also looking at mickey thompson tires or those '**** cepak' tires. I love the rugged look. Rims, I have to see what deals I can find online. If I have to go cheap, it most likely be those cragar black rims. I like these http://www.4wheelparts.com/PDT66922.aspx but I kinda wish they were all black. If you guys have any hot sites to order rims and tires from please tell, so far i know of jcwhitney, 4wheelparts and 4x4parts.com update edit: I ordered this http://www.4wheelparts.com/prodDetail.aspx?partNo=PCW97-5883 and http://www.4wheelparts.com/prodDetail.aspx?partNo=BFG60316

yozsi, smart enough...don't be a weenie head, first you talk crap with your opinions on swamper tires and now you flaming me on a shift question. isn't sesame street on? go watch it

Ok, using the picture above, from the scanned page of manual...I'm gonna assume that by default the shifter is always in N mode. if I pull down once is 4l, back one up is back to N, if I can go up , its gonna be 4h, and one more up is 2h? Or are you saying that its 2h is default and if I go down its 4h, then down is N, then down again is 4l? Am I also right to assume if I see the 'green car' light up in dash it means I'm in one form of 4x4 right? If its off, I'm not 4x4ing? But rereading redpath reply, I think I missed something. You mean I must grab the knob, PUSH toward the ground, and while pushing down..pull it down? I havent tried it that way. And if I'm getting this right, by default the gear shifter is always up? and if I simply pull down once, i'm in 4h? I can't believe this simple stick has me confused. Like said i'm new driver as of this year, lol. I can imagine when i start learning to drive manual stick, crap. I'm gonna go outside and try this in a sec.

So you saying if I push one down from N, I'm actually in 4Hi? Why would the know have 4h on top of N? I don't get this I"m all confused. U saying I have to go all the way down then up into 4l, and how exactly does one know they in 4l? Soon as I push down from N, all I see is a green car light up on the dashboard, theres no 4l or 4h indicators, someone throw me in the river please

denis, I never can pullup past N to 4hi or 2hi, all i can do is pull down to 4l. I went back out and try to force that thing up, no go. All i can do is pull down to L. Now, I noticed that if I pull down to L, forcing a bit more, it feels like I can go another down, and while tranny neutral, and pulling 4x4 shifter down, its a bunch of grinding noise. I'm gonna assume when 4x4 is in N mode, if I pull down is 4L and if I push up is 4H and if I go another up is 2h? My knob is in this order: 2H ^ 4H ^ N 4L ▼ I can pull from N DOWN to 4l. It is a smooth pull down to 4L. Now if I wiggle and force a bit, I can pull down like allll the way and it makes some grinding noise, I immediately push back up. I cant push up from N. Unless everything is pushing down order?

Nice tires, where did you buy them at, local or online? Did you get rims and tires at same time? How much total ?

Ok, it has snowed in NJ today!! enough where it is blanketed here. I wanted to test the pathy in these conditions. First I realized I am in BADLY need of new tires, ****** gripping on road. I've been looking for BFGoodrich mud terrains here LOCALLY and no one has them, the only thing I can find is BFG all terrain, and they only have 2 in stock. I'm gonna have to find a good deal online with super fast shipping. Looks like its kinda hard to get anything in 31x10.50x15 around here in local stores. Back to my 4x4 question. So I've read the stickies and some threads on this. So far, I put in Neutral and can pull the 4x4 gear down, into 4LO. It works and dang I get better traction/handling on the snowy road. However for the love of xmas ornaments, I cannot, CANNOT push the 4x4 gear up to 4hi or the other settings. It will only stay in N and allows me to push down to 4lo. I've tried some solid soft jerks upward, but wont budge. This is my first time testing this 4x4 mode.. I also kinda learned about those hubs, so I looked on the side of my front wheels, there are a hub on each that says automatic. Is it a possibility my 4x4 gear shifter is screwed up? Or something is not working correctly or is it just me not doing something right? While I am completely in stop mode, I shift into N, I then can move the 4x4 gear only down, it will not move above N for anything. It does seem 4x4 lo is working cause I did drive in that mode and provides better traction. Keep in mind I only owned this pathy since a few months, I never asked if previous owner used it before but confirmed that it was working. This is regarding a 90 pathfinder se. At this point I think something is wrong. I'm gonna go outside again and try jerking up a bit in diff angles..dang, I'm heartbroken. Could I drive in highway using 4x4 lo? it helps out a lot in traction until I get some new tires.

Hi, http://www.manik.com/products/?id=3355&rsku=7857 The first model on list for my 90 path, a local guy has one for 85$ used. Is this a good deal for that brand?
