My 92 Pathy also pulls hard to the right... it fried my last set of tires in very weird ways (back driver tire bald in the center.. front passenger tire one little bald patch in the whole tire....) I just put new tires and rims..and am running out of ideas as to why the Pathy pulls to the right, and I don't want this set to get fried. I always check tire pressures, and keep them the same.....
-
Ok. So like..I totally found teh price (after Thorley emailed me back)..and..um..I'm thinking NOT!!!!!!!! $629!!!!!!!!!!! is someone at Thorley smoking crack? I really want Thorley's (as most Pathy drivers say tehy work best)..but for $629...I think not. Where can I get them cheaper?
-
Well, I thought I DIDN'T have LSD on my 92 4 door... because there was no tag on the diff..but when "pimping my ride" (I changed tires n rims)...we checked..and lo and behold...LSD! I am sooooooooooooooooooo pleased! :bow:

Ok OK..I swear this will be my last "stupid" story!
This time it wasn't me!
And this story coming from a chick....is just sad..I am a woman, but I can not STAND women drivers!So, my friend is off to have her nails "done"...she drives a Mitsubishi Eclipse, and believe me, she is road rage queen of America..... so, she's off to her nail appointment, stop and go traffic, the usual California stuff....so she's checking her make up, playing with the radio....then her purse falls on the floor..so she leans over to pick it up.....and BANG!!!!!!!!!!! She runs her little ricer right under the back of a Ford Explorer! ROLMFAO. She put a slight mark on the spare tire of the Explorer, but the damage to her car was 2 dented flip up headlights, big dent in the hood, broken light....and ANOTHER insurance claim! (this was her THIRD accident that was her fault).
I really wish she'd give up driving!
Another incident I remember, of her and the same car, is when her boyfriend dumped her. She stalked him, found him, and as he got in his van, she pulled along side, he went to leave, and she rammed his van with her little Eclipse! Broken passenger side mirror, dent in the door and another insurance claim and a restraining order! Where do i meet these people? -alcohol-
-
Ok. So, like (my valley girl impression) I am totally looking at Thorley headers, but dangsnabbit, they don't have a price posted! Anyone have any ideas of cost? -alcohol-

OK. Here's another one of my "umm...DUH" moments. Seem to happen a lot to me! It must be something to do with Jeeps.OK. So me and some friends (after closing the bar) decide we are gunna go "night wheelin'" (there is a little spot right by the freeway that has mud, water, hills and rocks..but is NOT for public use..c'mon..that's half the thrill isn't it? ) now, we have done this (at least..I have) several times before, and always got away with it, no breaks, no trouble (except this one time..but I'll get to that one later!) so we gas up and head out there...I am showing off..doing good icky muddy doughnuts, and my passenger was less than sober. I had promised her a while back that I COULD make her puke wheeling with me. She denied this excessively. "no way..nuh uh..' yada yada.
So there we are..spinning around really fast, and BUMP! I hit a bump....and over the Jeep started to go (did I mention I NEVER had a top on my Jeep? What's teh use? topless is best)....we start tipping to the passenger side..Wendy screams..her arm hits the ground..I turn the wheel...get the Jeep upright....and she looks at me and says "I want OUT". So..out she gets..goes to another friends truck...opens the door..looks at me...and BLAHHHHHHHHHHHH :oops: pukes like you have never seen! I did my job well. sly
OK. that same night..I carry on fartin around..and the Jeep feels funny... so I finally get out and look around..and lo and behold! ROLMFAO.....one of the sections of fence must have been under the mud..stuck in my rear spring! DERRRRRRRRR.
So..I try to get it off..won't go..so my friend decides he's going to stand on it to add some weight..I pull forward..fence comes off..he goes hiney over right into the mud! Well...no one would let him in their trucks (sniff sniff..babies) so i had to drive him home in the Jeep (as it was FULL of mud anyway..what did I care).
The guy who ended up in the mud..decides he want to bring his '80 Yota out the next day....so..we head out again...doin fine..playing...and he decides to go down the "Jeep trail" it's steep as hell either side..with a very short base..so Jeeps manage best as they have SWB...the hill is shaped like a V..and steep both sides.
So..we all warn him (did I fail to mention his BALD TIRES!) not to do it..he'll get stuck...well..stupid is as stupid does. He went down. We saw nothing until about 2 minutes later when we saw what seemed to be him trying to turn around... (did I fail to mention how NARROW this dip was, with a ditch on one side?)...then we saw nothing. We waited. Then we saw headlights again....but now they were like a search lights pointing directly to the sky! He had not seen the ditch and backed into it. So..we all clamber to the side of the hill...look down..and there he is..stuck as you like! So..not having enough tow straps and it being pitch black, we leave his truck for the next day. Recovery took my Jeep, a friends 73 Chevy 3/4 ton with a 454, and 110 feet of tow straps and chains to pull the Yota out! What a night!
-
stupidity stories huh? well, I have a few, but the most EMBARASSING one I can come up with off teh top of my head (and all you JEEP haters will LOVE THIS!) is when some friends and I went wheeling at Carnegie in January of this year(Frank Raines was closed)... me and my best friend in my (topless) Jeep, my friend and his 2001 GMC Z71, friend and his 2003 Yota TRD with fresh 6" lift n tires.... so we're playing (I am a fiend for mud)..I am showing off...bragging my Jeep is better..blah blah..do the frame twister no problem...run through the mud SEVERAL times...and then they convince me I should be the depth tester for teh center of the mud pit (which was full of water)..well..even with 33's and a 6" suspension lift, I was the LOWEST vehicle there..but me being the braggert and showing off, and of course..we were the only 2 chicks in the group of 8..had to put the boys to shame.So..I come bombarding into the mud..and ego took over and I did not slow down..AT ALL...
well..needless to say...KERSPLOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all we remember seeing is a HUGE wall of water, with water flowing in through the doors (lucky I tore out my carpet..no need for it and easier to clean)... the tidal wave came up, over the top of the windshield, and 3 feet later..splutter splutter POOP. I think I had sucked up every ounce of water in that pool! My poor Jeep...sucked, swallowed...and promptly died! So, there we were, in the middle of this "lake"..water coming in the doors....and laughing at my stupidity. Next thing you know..the walkie talkie came to life, and you could hear the guys laughing.I asked for a little "recovery" help..and they said they'd be there when they could...(they were 100 yards away!). They left us there for 15 minutes...I crawled over the windshield and onto the front deck to hook up the tow strap..and we got pulled out. I popped the hood..assessed the damage..dried stuff out..and after much backfiring and coaxing..I got the Jeep started and drove her home! The guy laughing most at me (the Z71 vehicle that towed me out) promptly broke a half shaft while I was drying out my Jeep..... what a DAY! The Yota fried an alternator, I fried my alternator, and the Z71 killed a half-shaft! But we all limped home and lived to wheel again. :bow:
-
Whuahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it's $2.39 for 87, $2.49 for 89 (which I run in my Pathy ..she pinks and sucks gas if I use lower) and $2.50 for 91 octane...and that's THE CHEAP STUFF!! I've seen prices all teh way up to $2.87 for 91 yesterday! These prices are KILLING MEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
:X
-
I am feeling really quite :oops: now.....LOWEST (87) is $2.29....(89) is $2.49 and 91 is $2.59 up to $2.89 we saw today! :X
I hate the west coast! -
If you don't mind spraying..I just took my "stockies" off and and now runnin some black (chrome painted over) 15x8's with 255/70/15's..gawd i'm loving it! I will sellmine cheap....r u in California? sssh
-
I had set up a link about this problem....I had no joy, but am still trying..but I think we'll just pull the motor and put new manifolds (aftermarket) and a bunch of other stuff..saves rippin the motor apart twice! With Nissan manifolds, the bolts WILL break again. Aftermarket manifolds are already modified..so this doesn't happen again, and for $110 a side..it's worth it to me! sly
-
That is a really good price! Hell...
I got towed out by a Chevy (thank god!) with a pro-comp strap when I drowned my Jeep.....(driver error not Jeep!)I might have to go check those out! I have a good hook-up at our Oakland 4 wheel parts! sssh
-
Howerd Stern on AM all the way baby! :bow:
p.s.- did I fail to mention I was KIDDING!?
-
ROLMAO. Don't worry, before I read my handbook...I thought the auto-lock button was for the 4wd too! -thnkboutit-
-
-bounce- I know this sounds far fetched..but check the back of your valve covers.....I couldn't figure out where mine was obviously leaking (it wasn't burning the oil)..and presto. There it was. It also got oil down onto my oil filter too..soooooo..just a suggestion! Good luck!
-
I am sooooooooooooooo glad my "long hair" t-shirt suggestion amused everyone. Remind me NEVER to write in a forum DRUNK ever again! LMAO. Yes, I will wear my hair up when wearing my NPORA tee with pride.
I like the last posted tee...awesome work!! Count me in for some black tee's!
-
OMG! You guys really made my night! LMFAO @ the "long hair" version of shirts! As long as they promote the Pathfinder..lmao..I will support most anything (besides teh jab @ Jeepers thing). LOL. Best laugh I had alllllllllll night. I needed that! I really like the black t with the "find your own path" slogan though. Count me in! I know...seemingly being the only chick in NPORA..I can take the jokes n jibes..lol.
-
Yes..the white shirt looks WICKED AWESOME!
I agree on the "one slogan" thing too.... "find your own Path" is PERFECT.I wish the black tee's could be cleaned up a bit..as I must admit..white lasts about 5 seconds with me..... But if I could get them in any color but white..count me in for 2 or 3! :bow:
-
Funny you should say that about the "come in limping" thing..ROLMAO... My BF is rather "accident prone", so I made sure I took the first aid kit to Pismo with us..... and guess who ended up.. Day 1 - got burnt on headers of rail Day 2 - got "attacked" by a 19" wide rim bouncing out of the sand and hitting me in the shin. Also ended up sunburnt and sore. Day 3 - Burned hand.
I did a couple other things too..but those are the best right there.
I am usually with Dave when he works on anything, so I am usually there when injuries occur. It's kind of like a lottery...depending on job being done, as to level of injury, if any. We've been pretty good lately when working on cars/trucks.
I did however fry my ankle 2 weeks ago on the lid to the bar-b-q. Boy, did that one hurt, and I'm currently sporting a rather ugly, painful scab on my right ankle for a reminder.... "watch where you step when turnin ribs on bar-b-q's..ya never remember where ya set the lid down". (and don't drink and bar-b-q)

I REALLY like the pic of Mr Jims truck comin up off that jump..and the logo. That is great for shirts. Simple, but wicked good.
Why y'all gotta be so mean..ya know..(ok..I know..I sold it 3 months ago) I have been a Jeeper for years, and they are VERY capable vehicles (I had a Wrangler Islander).... and I am feeling a little "butt-hurt" over the massive amounts of Jeep insults. It will make us look like little kids saying "mines bigger than yours", if we do the slogans against Jeeps. We want to tell EVERYONE Pathfinders are the BEST. Not just the Jeep crowd. Keep it classy and more people will be curious as to just how awesome Pathfinders really are.
ok. I am done with my PMS for today. LOL
Great shirt ideas though!
p.s.- I really like the "find your own path" saying..it's short, to the point, and shows an independance of the vehicle to think "outside the box" :cool2:
-
Dusty...am I to take that as an "insult"? Did I ask such a truly stupid ? Or has that no regard to me what-so-ever? LOL Just wondering..... (as everyone knows...I am new to the Pathfinder (not new to Nissan) scene..and am learning as I go.... well...as I stated..I use 10w-40 and my Nissy runs great with it...I would like to run synthetic though..but wonder the consequences of this?
-
I use 10w 40..but it rarely egts close to freezing here..so 40 weight seems to work good. I was wondering however..if you can run straight weight inna Pathy? Just a thought sssh
-
Congrats! :cool2: That's the color I want to paint mine next year
-
I just sold a bunch of my Jeep stuff on ebay...did good. sold everything
I bought a push bar from my bf's cousin for $20..and my bf's brother is going to make a bumper for me...cuz I have SEEN the prices of bumpers.....and I'm afraid I have NOT won the lottery yet..and I can't find too much on ebay..though there is stuff for your year.... :type:

OK. I have experienced enough turmoil in my decision for headers, so I will ask the NPORA members what they think. Any pricing/purchase locations/ tried n tested results would be great! for my 92 Pathy 4 door 4 wd. I will be purchasing after market manifolds too -alcohol-
p.s- I am in the great smogable state of California!!!! bear that in mind!
