Awesome job. I like the fact that theres a seperate section for all the stickies in the garage section. I was getting annoying having to go to the second page all the time. :cool2:

Sunday afternoon I decided to do a little fishing. I launched the boat as usual, went for about an hour (couldn't be late for Father's day Tenderloin dinner) and I went to pull the boat out. I normally use 4H to get off the sandy beach, but the rear tires were spinning leaving me to believe that it was not in 4wd. So I roll back and make sure the t-case is in 4wd. As soon as I shifted it from 2H to 4H, the tach died, battery light lit up and my reverse lights were no longer working. I drove the truck to the front of the cottage, shut it down and resumed packing up the boat. When I went to crank the engine over to put the boat away, it wouldn't start. I checked most of the fuses, looked at the wires going into the starter but couldn't find any problems. I was lucky I had my repair manual as it described a few symptoms of a defective inhibitor switch. This is a switch that disables the start circuit for dumbasses that try to crank the engine when automatic transmission is not in P. So I crawled under the truck and made sure the switch was properly aligned and the linkage for the gear selector was also operating properly; everything looked fine there. I then went into the electrical diagrams in the repair manual and discovered the inhibitor switch, reverse lights, meter and gauge (battery and tach), seatbelt timer and rear window defogger are all run through the same fuse. I pull the 10A fuse, obviously fried, and put another one in... truck starts fine. I parked the trailer, unhitched and drove around the cottage lanes to see if my 4wd was working or not. I noticed that everytime I switched from 2H to 4H, the same fuse would blow, even with a 15A in there. Now the little green 4wd light on the dash stays light even though the transfer case is in the 2H position, and I don't think the truck will go into 4wd. I know there must be a short in that circuit that causes the fuse to blow, but my bigger concern is the health of the T-case. When you shift from 2H to 4H, is it a completely mechanical process?, or is there some electrical component that must be working properly for the T-case to do it's job? My truck is a 1995 SE with auto trans. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? Any insight is appreciated.

do you know where the headlights are grounded to? In most cases I bet cleaning those contact points may help with light output. I have my back-up light wired to a relay with a switch on the console. The light is grounded to the tire carrier. I noticed it was dim when I first installed it, then I scraped the paint off the mounting point and it was a much whiter, brighter light afterwards. Someone once told me a thin layer of white lith. grease cuts down on corrosion and still conducts current relatively well, but i've never seen and scientific backup of the claim...

I like them with flares. Just make sure you get in behind them with the pressure washer when you clean. Dirt loves to hang out back there and scuff up your paint.

He's part of a local car club just full of vehicles with unpainted body kits(primer looks soooo good) huge wings, fart-can exhausts etc. One guy took the front clip off a cavalier and put it on a sunfire giving birth to "cavfire". Mind you, there are a couple of nice ones in there, but most of them are idiots. Free Sticker with Every new registration!! Don't even go into the forums to see what they talk about. I think it's some sort of engine conditioner that removes carbon and old fuel deposits from your lines and cumbustion chambers.

I'm building my own at the moment. It's been constructed of 3rd world building materials. See if you can guess what it is :idea:. It should be done within the next few days. I dunno about throwing a spare ontop of it, but it sure will hold all my camping and fishing crap.

now that's a cool jack

My 3" s/l install I installed most of that kit myself. It costs twice as much as a body lift , and be prepared to spend additional cash on other parts during the installation process, but that pretty much goes for anything.

looks like a fun way to spend a rainy day in s. ontario. where's minden in relation to waterloo pez? i'd like to come oput with you guys one afternoon

Tires for me. nothing compares to flooring the truck and feeling it dig down thru the soft mud right before it takes off. Tires will make or break your truck's offroad capability. I have an LSD, but from the sounds of it, they guys with 2wd or open diffs really like the locking rear diff.

Most of ours cost $3 canadian. The wallpapers go for $1.50. We've been working on some ringbacktones (call ringer tunes) at the moment, and those might be a little more. The games are 5 bucks which is kinda steep seeing that most of 'em are crap and all. Rally racing is moderately fun though.

one more kick at the can for jeep owners:

the reason I got the 9600XT was it's the cheapest card that will run halflife 2 in directx9 setting at a reasonable rate: Read here by the looks of it, the ati cards perform much better on that setting then the nvidias. That's the only game I really like to play online. As for the power supply, most of the people i've talked to have said the Antec PSUs are just as good as other brands claiming 400w+ of power. I read alot of reviews before I decided on this one. Sonata Review It's the same case the owner of the store uses and he's reported no problems with it. The ghosting on the LCD was one of my fears but I saw the viewsonic 17"(8ms) in action on a DVI connection and I was extremely impressed with it. Just not the $450 pricetag. I got the audigy card because I do alot of sound editing for the cellphones, plus I want to transfer all of my movies into digital format with the best sound quality possible (i love the surround sound home audio setups) Like I said before, i'm eventaully going to use this thing as the hub of my home entertainment unit. Trailchaser, that's awesome that you've learned how to make your own ringtones! Most of our stuff is for the canadian market, like this: Some of my ringtones (Redeye CopTones--most of the are my voice lololol) We are hoping to get into the american market shortly, but so far, so good., Nice phone BTW.

I'm going from a p3 733 (it used to be a 133, but i upgraded it) with 256mb of ram. I wanted the 9800 card, but i couldn't afford it. I make alot of ringtones for cellphones and animations and such as part of my new job: New employer, so I spent the extra hundred dollars on ram so it doesnt crash. I haven't bought a new computer in 5 years and hopefully with this one, I won't have to for another 5! I'd like to do the dual monitor setup someday, but for now, i think i'm gonna snatch up one of those dell 1905fps (i got a coupon to use on it) When i feel the need to spend more money on it, then i'll go to the dual lcd's. I have a nice 21" viewsonic crt that I can pair up with the LCD at the moment. This thing is gonna eventually run all my home theater stuff, but i'm excited to get my mitts on it none the less! Who knows, i might even edit some offroad flicks on it to post up here.

If your Pathfinder died, what would replace it?
nige replied to Patrick's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
I'd get another Pathfinder. Exact same truck if possible. I haven't seen any other suvs i'd rather have, except maybe for that Nissan patrol that the aussies get. I'd rather get a pickup truck next like an old Tacoma or possibly a '96 hardbody. I'm still waiting to get another Miata at the moment. Most of the newer trucks look like sh!t anyhow. what's with replacing the beautiful chrome bumpers with these plastic p.o.s.? I've really been dissappointed with most new cars that have come out in the last few years. It seems that the designers are listening to the Consumer Reports guys advice for making trucks with "more car-like(i hate that word) road manners" Utility is definitely taking a backseat to style. The 90's and 80's were the best decades for to choose from for cars and trucks. THe only thing i like about vehicles from this decade are the engines vrrrrrrroooooooooom! -
What color 90-95 Pathfinder is the rarest to see?
nige replied to Patrick's topic in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders
I think the rarest i've seen is the burgundy. I only saw one so far. I wish I would have been able to get white one with the same chrome stuff as mine, they look very safari-ish, but I really like the metallic finish on mine. It changes from green to blue at different angles, and it looks really good after I clean her up.
