No blazer parts on it.

Where on Woburn? I'm at Texas and Huron on Alabama Hill.
That sounds like code talk if you don't live around here. Cool.
Not code talk just safe talk. The last rig i put a ton of work into got stolen. I am between Alabama and Iowa. I am guessing the local truck thieves are just tweakers, not npora members though. But i still tend to be paranoid about it.

welcome back
i've seen this on cardomain i think and wondered if it ever got finished.
Update! I just got a phone call and the 3-500 dollar bellhousing i needed is on its way for free! SAWEET!

What's wrong with Frankenfinder?
I was just thinking about PSYCHOPATHY. I can be a bit over the edge at times and the truck looks crazy so why not? I just never liked it because i only used two rigs to build it. My mazer had parts from 10 or more vehicles on it.
-
Damn it,Now I gotta copy you...
Go for it man. I like stock ones as well, they do excellent offroad. I blew my engine at a Search and Rescue mud party a while back so i decided to go all out with it. I got a whole running 3/4 ton chevy with a Bad Arse small block in trade for that yellow t max that was no good to me if the truck didn't run. I lucked out on it being a roller motor and having 4.56 gears. The guy had no clue. All that was wrong with it was it only had first. I pulled the tranny and a pin had fell out of the shift forks so i managed to get it out of the trans with a magnet an got her all fixed up. So if you do it, save yourself some cash and buy an entire ford or chevy to do so. Should pick one up for $500-$1000

your sig pic is huge!
Name it some randon thing that has nothign to do with it like "Ginger Ale" or "Pop Tart"
Oh that's because that picture was taken in Texas. Everythings bigger down there. JK . I dont't know why its so big, I think that was a crappy cell phone i took it with?

Jelly Roll...
Hopefully Rolling wont be to much of an issue once i get the body lift out and install the suspension winches
My main goal for now is running and driving on her own. Well running is not an issue. i just have to build an engine. Ive ran her before on first try. No wiring issues or cooling problems. Managed to suck down a gallon of gas during test and tune. -
Pathblazer
Yeah but nothing on it is from a blazer. That would be good though if it was K5 parts.
-
I have a friend thinking about wheeling one of those also. His main rig is a Sammy. My concern is that we see alot of low trees that you and I wont get under them without a chainsaw. Those roofs just look tall. I also wouldn't put a body lift on it. Top heavy. I am getting ready to pull mine out unless i just use this beast for Truck pulls and get another one for my trail / rock rig.
-
Okay so years ago i put a Mazda B2000 cab onto a K5 Blazer chassis. We all called it the Mazer on a good day and Blazda on the bad ones. Here are the words to work with:
Nissan
Pathfinder or Pathy
Chevrolet or Chevy
Silverado ( I think this was the trim package on the donor, correct me if I am wrong.)
Ok have at it because I am stumped. Insults are welcomed also
-
The best of luck for a new start.
Keep the Chevrolet(???) updated.
At one time i had a half b2000/ k5 blazer i built. I called it the mazer when it was running great and the blazda when it was running like crap. I will go start a thread for what to call it. Haha should be interesting.

Thanks guys I am over the divorce crap so no biggie on that. Yeah it has been a process as far as the build. I ended up laid off during the divorce so i haven't had the funds for my drivelines and bell housing among other here and there parts. I had to hide it because the ex wanted to sell it and split the money so that kept me from it for a year. So give me about six months and as long as the economy stays good in japan i am employed. And when ours goes up the yen will go down. Then we will just go back to selling our lumber in the states. Win- Win.

Hey my name is Aaron, I have had my 1990 Pathy for 4 years now. I loved it when it was stock and I love it now. I have been away for a while dealing with a harsh divorce. I just locked down the deal on my first house by myself in 7 years. It has a big shop and the Pathy made it through the divorce in one piece so we are back on. I live in Bellingham and move into my Home on the 15th. Feel free to come check it out, swap stories, drink beer and i even like getting yelled at for making it mostly Chevrolet.
-
Hey i am in Bellingham right off of woburn. Give me a shout if you want to check out each others Rides. I also have a local 4x4 club and would be thrilled to get some new pathfinders involved. Anyways enjoy the new Pathy

No need to worry about hurting the carrier bearing. There isn't one on it. At least I've never seen one with it. A carrier bearing is usually found on a two piece drive line on longer wheel base vehicles Like Some long bed pickups, extra cabs, 4 door trucks etc. Ive had my rear stretched pretty far and never gotten so much as a wimper out of a u joint or any drive line related parts so you should be fine lifting it a reasonable amount without modding it. I think if you got too high the first mod would be the slip yoke eliminator to keep the rear drive line from falling out but you'd have to be up there a ways for that.

Any pics from this bud?
Well it ended up being a memorial day run. Here is my clubs new myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/duct_tape_mafia We went on a local mountain instead of reiter.

Sorry! I was just going on info learned from here.

IF you are going to wheel it..... I had an 87 and i drive a 90 . I stripped the 87 for parts. The autos have 4.63 gear ratio and the mans are only 4.37 . I swapped the front and rear into mine . The only thing i had to change was the inner axles on the front so my cv's would bolt up. You shouldn't have to since yours is a 89. Now i have a lowered geared rig that is pretty trail capable on rocks an such .
-
guess i'm off on my own then saturday.
-
Yeah, i don't care though. I wheel it like a pro and i have a winch. I used to break a lot of trails before they started raising @!*% about it. Anyways my bondo and spray paint will always be waiting when i get home. My rig doesn't get any justice on my signature photo's. Check it out Aaron's Pathy
I have had some awesome wheelers but i''m just getting going on this one. Hopefully i'll have her caged before i run out of spare body panels. But yeah id love to meet up with you guys.
-
id be down. to go. i could bring parts to if you need them
Sweet . Bring me the drivers side marker. I dont believe the glass would make a wheelin trip. We'll figure out some details on the trip this weekend.
-
I'm taking my pile down to reiter next saturday. Anyone want to meet up? I have another guy coming in a Toyota. We both have locked rears, agressive tires and winches so be prepared to go through some f!@@#'d up spots.

Heres something i saw while i was working for my uncle in his transmission shop. We had a few fleet accounts and well construction workers are always messing with each other . This van came in leaking trans fluid every where. I put it on the lift and found 5 or so pennies duct taped to the drive shaft. The vibrations caused by this had busted the bell housing and broke the right side off of the engine block that the tranny bolted to. My uncle said theyd probably end up with some rear pinion problems as well. I am sure this would have some effect on cv shafts also. No harm in trying. Well no harm to you anyways. So 5 pennies = new engine block, tranny case , pinion bearing And @!*%loads of labor!
