  1. nice to hear man. its pretty tough to find a job here in/around Salem, i've been out for over a yr. and if it wasn't for the gf's job we'd be really up a creek. hey you ever hear of Nor Sky? i think thats it, im pretty sure its the same type of stuff your doin. anyways a good friend of mine from back in the day is the area supervisor. im not sure where im goin with this :scratchhead: anyways, hopefully i'll get off this no-job boat soon. Pepsi should be callin! :beer:

  2. wow! and i thought i liked beer.

     

    i like and drink many types of beer, from the so called "piss or water" types Bud, Coors, Miller, Tecate. to Widmer Bros., Pyamid, Sam Adams, Bridgeport and Rogue. my all time favorite is a local seasonal, very hoppy IPA from Rogue River Brewery. it's called Independence Hop Ale, the hops are grown and harvested in Independence (hence the name) then immediately driven 77 miles to the brewery and tossed in the brew kettle. it's good, clean, crispy, hoppy flavor that's not to sharp. delicious, sucks it's seasonal tho.

     

    Pranqster huh? i'll have my brother grap a six for me when he comes up in June.

  3. ya i've taken measurements of mine i just thought maybe somebody has done or heard of something like this. i went to a local wrecking yard that only dealt with american and i told the guy that i was looking for a roof rack with certain measurements. he asked what make and i told him it was a nissan but i wanted to look around to see if anything would fit, "he said you won't find anything here" and ended the conversation by answering the phone just as i was about to ask another question. jerk

     

    i know i just need to get out there, just tryin to get a good idea of what to look for, thanks guys.

  4. ya i was just wondering how close they were to fit and if it were that easy or not to just throw one on.

     

    i think izuzu made the rodeo from 91-96 then turned into the honda passport.

     

     

     

    and the tape measure comment from greg, funny but not really. nice try tho ;)

  5. I've been lookin for a factory roof rack for my pathfinder at the local wrecking yards for awhile and been coming short. They either have no pathfinders or pathfinders with no roof racks. i'd rather pay around $50 for a factory used than 3 times that much for a yakima or thule, I really want a cargo basket but that will have to wait.

     

    But what about an izuzu rodeo rack? isn't it almost like the same rig? are the roof lines fairly similar? my roof is naked, no gutters, no tracks, no nothin except the hump in the middle.

     

    it's gettin close to christmas tree huntin time and i wanna strap it to my pathfinder instead of the mini van which has a roof rack. it can be done right?

  6. i like the border version, maybe without the website tho. most people now days have computers or have access to them and if they really wanted to know what NPORA was all about, all they would have to do is search NPORA and here you have it. it just seems kinda cluttered with the website under it or on the side. imo

  7. No, yes, yes and no. Overfill it (as per the TSB, can't remember if it is 5.1L) with Redline and it should extend the life considerably. That is what I would do.

     

    mws has a pathy with a whining bearing that he has been driving for years and has said since he overfilled the tranny with the right lubricant, it has not gotten any worse. :shrug:

    sweet thanks man, :aok:

     

    i'm trying to keep my rookie questions to a minimum.

  8. i have a quick question about this topic, my tranny is in the early stages of goin out but is still very drivable, just some light whine. i have no idea what's in it, GL-5 or GL-4 since i've only had it for a month or so. i know i have to get it rebuilt but should i do a flush and fill it with Redline or just make sure it's at the 5.1 mark? is it gonna extend the inevitable for a few more months or is it just a waste of money?

  9. sorry to hear bout that, it sucks i know. i've been outta work for a year but my girlfriend makes enough for us to get by plus i've been taken care of our 17 mo. old boy. i feel better knowing he's with me and day care is expensive, but stayin home all the time is gettin real old. hopefully i'll catch something soon and get back on my feet. best of luck man :aok:

  10. Hey there, I'm actually in Santa Rosa now, just a little closer... Ukiah, eh? Is the 707 after lakeside for your old area code?? Yep, small world indeed. When did you move to Oregon?

    He's been helped in many ways, it doesn't seem to make a difference. :shrug:

    i moved up here a year after high school in '98, it was a big culture shock. i had heard that oregon was like way behind cali in alot of ways and it kinda was/is, but thats alright. after living here for the past 12 yrs. or so i kinda feel like an oregonian. i went back down there this last may for the first time in about 10 yrs. and it is not what i remember, i always said i wanted to move back but i like oregon.

  11. Hey everybody, first off I just have to say that this is a great site. Very informative, well structured and good sized. Thanks for havin me.

     

    I just bought my Pathfinder a couple weeks ago and it is the first 4x4 i've had, my last ride was an econobox. I'm pretty green when it comes to off-roading and fixing and maintaining a rig like this, that's why i'm on here to learn how to do all that. My biggest fear is goin off pavement and break something. Anways its a 95 XE manual with 170k on it, runs really good, no malor leaks, no frame rust or body rot, all the lights work, except the dome lights, interior is nice too. except for the damn master control switch, i need a new one. but i really like it and cant wait to fix it up. here's few pics of it.
