Don't back up ACROSS ruts and don't go alone! Doesn't look too bad, but when all you brought was a come-a-long and 2 kids because your buddies backed out last minute (not mentioning any names Adamzan! ) I thought I would just "check out" an old trail I went in before with a friend of mine and didn't get stuck because he had a winch!

I suppose you could just use a cheap 'ol emergency pump that plugs into your cig lighter for tires to refill the tank as well! That would save some sort of compressor hook-up...

I bought a 110v 70a welder from Princess Auto for $250.00 that has 4 heat settings and an awesome duty cycle with thermal protection (haven't hit it yet) and rebuilt 2 Pathy frames, built 2 Safari Racks (working on 3rd for Adamzan), bumper fabs, exhaust and sheet metal work and have had no issues with penetration. As for up to 1/4", I would probably invest in a 220v 180amp Mig with the leased inert gas tank (for nice clean welds and longer duty cycle). But for the backyard hobby mechanic, a flux cored, 110 v 70amp welder is a perfect setup.

I like "Mud Out"

main reason is for heat and noise insulation...There are theories that it is also for fire suppression...if an engine fire occurs, the plastic clips melt, allowing for the "hood insulator" to fall on the engine, assisting in the smothering of the fire. If it were me, I would just take it out...if my engine caught on fire, a mat isn't going to save the harness and other valuable parts from melting away... :02:

Welcome Maikan!

I think this is what Adam was quoting...

Soooo, I put a set of R50 rims on my Pathy and just recently discovered this grinding noise in the front end when I turn the wheels sharp either way...I found out that the inside flange of the rim is rubbing on the tie rod end...Any recommended sites or ideas to bring the offset out about 1/2" or more?

That is AWESOME!!! Imagine blowing that at an old lady/man on the highway! It would scare the hell outa them! If you had a safari rack, you could mount it to the side of it, like below a shovel or high-boy...

You had mentioned the other night when you were over that they usually are really good at their work and standing by it...I guess this is gonna tell you whether or not that is really true...

Howdy! Originally from Nova Scotia (born and raised in the BEAUTIFUL Annapolis Valley)...but moved to the Ottawa Valley 3 yrs ago...I miss the ocean!

keep the hold-down clips for the hood insulator, as in the future, you stumble across an alternative, you have the fasteners

Before dropping the pan, pull the dipstick and check the color and smell of the tranny fluid...if it warrants a flush, drop pan and proceed...as the pan isn't the easiest to drop and check for chunks... :02:

rip'er out

2004 Chevy (Daewoo) optra5... Custom cold air intake Cat back exhaust not much else...Just a commuter...

With mine, I just get the 'ol cheap aftermarket stuff like TKW or Wagner, etc...My thoughts are..."they are a heck of alot better than what came out and easier to change if they break, as I just recently put them in!

X2 here...Adjustable links would also be good help to bring your axle back to the proper alignment as well. It does look nice a nice project though! Personally, buying something that is "out of the box" is less fun than buying something that needs a bit of playing around with...regardless of whether it is a Pathy or whatever!

Bring it over Adam and we can stick a light on it to see if the timing is ok...but yup, I would take it back...the Cats wouldn't clog while they were replacing the belt! I think that is a cop out on their part!

Wow, no license and non-registered Pathy...You're on a roll!

So I went for the...Inspection...was gonna throw in a few 4 letter words, but decided to wait. There were a few things to fix that I overlooked...One of them was the Neutral Safety switch...(well, I always push in the clutch before I start it anyways, so had no idea it didn't work!)...I checked the switch for continuity...it's fine...so I checked the voltage on the plug...10.9 mv...yes, millivolts! Before I start tearing apart the harness to chase these 2 wires...anyone have/had similar issues?

Here is what I would start with: Dropped Pitman Arm Dropped Pitman Arm#2

The ones that were on my black '95 mounted to the front body mount bolts and the rear had a plate that went inside the 4-link pivot attached to the frame. I would have to agree with Adam on that one.

Network & Infrastructure Engineer for Nova Networks in Ottawa...pretty happy where I'm at and what I'm doin

There are some nasty angles on the steering linkage! You might want to modify the pitman arm with an aftermarket dropped one...That would be my first try...
