I got the Chevy free...and tho I am disenchanted.. a 4 sale sign is not yet iminent..lol. however!!! lol..j/k. There was no green puddle, cuz it came out with such force it went everywhere up but nowhere down...lol. spewed n puked out the passenger side between the fender n hood..lol. it was quite a geyser! that's what I call "with good force"... I finished (besides clear gloss) painting the Chebby frame today...mebbe the Pathy is jealous again? I had the jealousy problem when I had the Jeep...dang gremlins....SHOO ya lil buggers...SHOO!!!

Yeah, but after $2,000 in new parts...you'd think the gremlins would stay away fer a while It has been one thing after another..no matter how small.. it's really starting to make me doubt my Pathy's reliability......ya know.. the "wonder- what's- next -that -hasn't- already- been- changed" deal? that's why I am sooooo p!ssed. Let her go a few MONTHS without crap happening and I'll shut up...... Remember.. in the last 2 MONTHS I have had the motor out...and then 3 weeks after re-installing the motor MORE stuff went wrong.. then this! DAYUM! Oh, and I checked the hoses thoroughly b 4 reinstalling them....they were FINE. let me wallow in my annoyance fer a few days..then I'll be fine...LOL

Why??? Please oh lord tell me why? Why must my Pathy test my love this year? After allllllllllllllllllll the darn work I have done to my Pathy this year.... she does THIS: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...8ab.jpg&.src=ph And THAT cost me THIS: http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...9b2.jpg&.src=ph Which is leading to THIS: -alcohol- -alcohol- :X :furious: :contract: and them more of this: -alcohol- :X Downtown Stockton (CA) on a main road...center lanes....traffic....and **POOF**...out comes the steam, coolant and water from the PS of the hood while @ a red light. So, thanks to the nice people who saw my prediciment, they backed up, made room and I zig zagged to the first road to turn off on..... Made the call to the bf's brother who luckily had not left for work yet..he came out.. he n Dave took off to buy me a new rad hose (he also brought 5 gals of water with him).. and NOBODY had one..UNTIL...they got to BFE and a RICER store... :X which was THE ONLY place that had a rad hose 4 me. $16 + some change later.. and all is well.

I got my shocks at Kragen (rear only) for like $78.. tell them Summit have them for $75.. they have to price match...hehehehehe I have stock front end and shocks. Works fine after a little torsion bar crank...

Get the Perma Cool oil filter relocation kit if yer gunna install the Thorley's.. I installed both and am REALLY REALLY glad I did the perma cool..... And, you'll be fine if you just remove the motor.

Share oh thout's great wisdomw with yee's peers... puleeeeeeeeeeeeeease! Hope the rebuild goes well 4 ya!

there is a thread about this somewhere too but i think it's basically to each their own at this point... In the classifieds..under "services".....

OK. get 2 JGC FRONT coils (93-97..I got 95).. new or used, then get some Rancho 5000 or 9000 series shocks (I went with 5000 p/n5116) and get a spring compressor.. makes life easier. It took me 1 hour to do the JGC install.. hardly any fuss (PS comes out easier than DS) remember to unbolt your brake line for this task.... I used the stock rubbers for the top of the coils when I put the JGC's in..but you can also make your own rubbers.... There are a LOT of write ups about this job...take a look at 88's write up and pics, it will show you how much to cut off the pigtail of the JGC coil I got almost 4" of lift from mine.

Be careful using an easy-out. they CAN break. I used a reverse drill bit, and believe me... I had 4 broken studs... but I took the motor out. As stated above.. be careful of the water jackets. Take your time and use caution, and everything will be ok. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Pezzy, pass the salt please..... I would be down for the white letters on black tee too! With "find your own Pathy" on the back...... OH! and WEelcome back Mark!! -bounce-

Another update. Almost done with painting the frame..but here's what it looks like so far. Sposed to have t'storms today so no finishing the job today. -bounce- http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...80f.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...2c9.jpg&.src=ph BTW.. those 31" Duelers on the front of my frame are going to find their way ontot the Pathy.. VERY sooooooon.........

'92 4 door XE. doing good right now.. avg 16-18 highway and 13-15 town. all that shifting around town sux! That's on 29" tires. (255/70/15) -bounce- I used to get 8-10 before I did the headers n stuff!

My '92 Pathy has a 21 gallon tank.....

You need to go buy a manual and finish your Pathy yourself! My GOD... WTF is this guy doing!??? I think there is a law against that????? Anyhoo... I have high flow cats, but they are a "generic" version.. no big brand name on them, but they work really well. (I have to smog my Pathy)....

I am primarily wanting the disc brakes for the rear for my Pathy, I have drum rear with the ABS right now, but want to convert it, and also just spare drive lines, differentials (I have the LSD) half shafts and goodies like that.... :cool2:

How did yer Pathy stay soooooooooo CLEAN????????? I am impressed! Great pics.. makes me want to take a trip up north.....hmmmm.... -bounce-

LOL. I thought LEARNING ju-jitsu was to STOP getting yer a$$ kicked??? LMAO. Anyhoo... LOL.. no.. I have some wicked cool ideas for my truck.. but have to figure out what will work/be versatile. I started painting the frame today.... couple days it should be done. PHEW! looking good now! yeah, I prefer short beds. Always wanted one.. now I got one.. hehehe...time to go to town! :cool2:

Ewwwwwwwwww...you poor thing..and your poor Pathy!!!!!!! Glad you got home ok with some great help!

Sorry Pezzy, I think I am gunna hold out for my fave color, teal green..... but, we'll see.. it will be green..that's a definite!! LOL. OK peeps... UPDATE: here are the plans for my bed design. (I am NOOOO architect kinda deally bobber) http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...5c2.jpg&.src=ph The neck of the fuel cell will have a custom clip down cover over it so it doesn't get damaged in the bed. The actual cell will be under the sheet of diamondplate.. and 88.. b 4 you say I am psycho and will waste $$ BUYING DP... I have a buddy who owns a company and he gets it and gives it away FREE all the time . OK. the tool box will be your standard husky tool box, bolted to the diamond plate floor. The retractable light bar on the rear will encase all the std lights you need to have for street driving, but for off road there will be a switch that flips it up toward the "bed" (as if you were raising your tailgate) so they do not get damaged wheeling..... whatcha think??? Do I have too much time on my hands??? BTW. Frame painting will begin when rain ends it's prepped, sanded, washed n ready to paint... :idea: -thnkboutit-

I would have soooooooooooooooooo bid on that if I wasn't on the opposite coast!!!!!! Just the steps alone are $150! daaaaaaaaaaaaaaayum! :furious:

Well.. I am FEMALE.. but everyone says MAN (slang) so I guess I won't be offended. YES!!!!!!!! You win the PRIZE!! I put my old Pathy rims on the trailer!!!!!! You were the first to notice!! LOL Well.. I decided to hold out for my favorite dream color of teal green for the truck. I (if the rain stops) will be painting the frame Sun or Mon after final preps on the metal work. I need to have my bf's bro weld a spot b 4 I paint. It will be wicked cool when it's done.....about a year from now.. LOL..but my Pathy will ALWAYS be #1 in my stable. -bounce- I have been tossing around the idea of a 4 link suspension on the rear for the truck too..... :idea:

Here is the album for my progress with the "Big Ugly" (#2 actually). I have got quite a bit done, but not b 4 the Chevy BIT my Pathy while towing it out front!!! Bite mark pics in album...BAD Chebby.. BAAAAAAAAAAAD...... Today I pulled the last of the remaining useless "gadgets" off so now some gunk, sand paper and another blast with the pressure washer is due b 4 painting. -bounce- http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/alb...ren%3as,5%3af,0

as 88 said, and check for any wires/plugs/etc that could have worked loose..hope all works out!

Mine installed relatively easily after cutting the pigtail as 88 had done in his write up. I put the "tighter end" of coils on the top, and used the stock rubber on top of the coil. I added rancho 5000 series shock PN 5116. I gained 3 + inches from these coils. -bounce-

poor doe!! that's such a waste
