  1. Definately a factory option in '87 ~ I'll have to take a look inside via the tail light hatch & see if I can see what the hey you guys are talking about... never had a any reason to look up in there.
  2. Here you go.... 4Crawler Rock SliderZ Fixed the link... sorry...
  3. Sounds like maybe your oil pump's giving up the ghost, maybe plugged journals... give me guages over "idiot" lights any day. By the time they come on it's usually too late... How did it come to have "hardly any oil" ? If you were running that low you might have terminal damage ~ bearings, con-rods, valve train, you name it. :contract: Good Luck, let us know what you find...
  4. Looks good, just a shame you didn't use like a ruler or tape to show the difference in ride height a little clearer. I know it's hard to get the same camera angle, etc. Obviously sittin' taller ~ 3" BL and on go the 33's, eh ? And what's that white crap in the first shot ? Move south, my man... sly
  5. I've got an '87 with 161k, uses virtually no oil between changes... time to take it somewhere else. My RX7 did go thru a quart per 1000 or so, but it is a two stroke. You can use oil in them by driving hard, but I've never ran into that with my Pathy. Then go back and kick the stealer in the jimmy again! Now that I think about it, that should be the standard way to deal with stealers anyway... -thnkboutit-
  6. My mistake.... sorry for the bad info. Me no have DRL's on my '87... :bow:
  7. Thanks, really need to try & put that together a little better. :type: Set it up real quick just to link to pics seeing how this place won't let me upload anymore for some reason off of my home PC. Yeah... my "little" snafu there on page 2... they're all fixed... :contract: :furious:
  8. Yeppers, seriously. Lived for years up at 3rd & Maple. Don't tell me that was you I hit in Goldies ?! j/k I'll shoot you a PM or an E... :type:
  9. He's runnin' a '90... I've always used 87 octane in my Pathy with no obvious negative effects. As a matter of fact, most of it's life was in N.E. Nevada ~ they have 85 octane up there for "regular" grade. Due to the elevation (5000+ ft.), there's less "air", therefore you can get away with a lower octane rating than at sea level. -thnkboutit- I simply had a local shop install an appropriate muffler & piping when mine went south. From what I've been reading here lately, I think Borla is the only one that has a complete "cat-back" bolt on system.
  10. I've got 5% limo tint on all the back windows, legal (in NV.) tint on doors. You can see the factory "privacy glass" coating ~ makes the tint look a little different than if it wasn't there. But I still prefer it over none... makes it alot harder to see into, and a heck of alot cooler in the summer as well. Plus, you've got to factor in the "coolness"... The main problem here is the factory coating is in the glass, where tints are applied to the glass on the inside. The bronze reflective coating will always be on top of your additional tinting. -thnkboutit- Although you could always put it on the outside I guess...
  11. DUH ! I don't recall him saying in his post one way or the other as to whether or not he was in 2 or 4 wheel when this was happening ~ that's why I brought it up... sheesh Can I suggest a wheel bearing w/o getting jumped ?
  12. Well, that's with figuring where I wanted to unzip them to... some things just aren't meant to be rushed, ya know ? Like my keyboarding... :type:
  13. Sounds like a combo switch prob that's being exacerbated by your DRL module. The DRL's use a lower output of your lowbeams, right ? They shouldn't have any effect on your highbeams by all rights, but I'm sure it's all tied together in there somewhere. Might need the DRL module to complete the circuit for all I know. Loose wire/plug/faulty module could be the monkey wrench... still it wouldn't hurt to clean the contacts, etc. in the combo switch. How much for a new module? Used one you never know what you're getting... -thnkboutit-
  14. Thanx 88 ! Nice score ... :bow: And thanx to Winzip & broadband ~ 2 minutes later and I'm lookin' through them... -study-
  15. I hear ya bro. Sometimes the best thing you can do is step away. I changed the starter on my g/f's 4Runner ~ couldn't get the dang thing back in there, no matter how hard I tried. Went and had a brew, came out & the thing almost fell into place throwing it at the rig. Wished I'd taken a break earlier...
  16. Possibly tweaked a CV joint prior to backing your T-bars back down ? Might try a retorque on your various front suspension bolts, too. They're notorious for "popping" noises as you turn if they've loostened at all. You really should go through & check the torgue on them anyway after having work done, nothing says they got them all, or got them right. Might be tire rub on the stops, too... -thnkboutit-
  17. Wasn't making fun ~ simply an observation... -study- Now that it's been mentioned, I've got a couple of old 'puters sitting in the garage... :type: As far as spellchecker, I thought that's what I had in my head... -thnkboutit- Browser Use Statistics
  18. Yeah, I worry 'bout going into California... no tint allowed by law on front door windows at all...
  19. I'm with IE just 'cause I'm lazy, too, even though most worms, etc. are designed to hit it being the standard browser. Isn't Firefox an outgrowth of the original Mozilla? Or was it Netscape ? :type: :confused: Interesting to find this in the "garage"...
  20. HOLY SMOKES ! I paid $125. for mine, that was going with 5% "limo" tint on everything except my 2 doors ~ they got 25% or 30%, not sure. Whatever's legal in Nevada, anyhoo... I guess doing an '87 would be cheaper, there's less glass area than '90 & up... :contract:
  21. I'd imagine you'd end up with a lower-geared 2-wheel drive... if you take it all the way to 4-wheel lo...
