rttallon Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 Hi people! new to pathfinders, just picked up a 91 se last week, like the little turd so far, but a world of differance from what I'm use to drive'n. have alot of questions about these little rigs, but will check post before asking to many! I'm use to 78-79 Bronco's, all I've ever driven, still have my baby, a 78, but 5 miles to the gallon is killing me so thought I'd try a pathy as you'all say.

Pavelow Leaks Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 although it will be a little improvement, most people don't buy pathy for their gas mileage. But welcome anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have had one of those buggers that if you leave it running and start filling it at the pump, you would be there all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rttallon Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 (edited) Ya 39" swampers, 488 gears, dana 60's front and rear, detroits front and rear,408 hp to the rear tires. I"d be at the pump all day and half the nite if I left her running.LOL! But she's still my baby! I haven't found anything to stop her yet.(execpt gas stations to far apart and tree's to close together) Put the 31's on the pathy, adjusted the tbars about 1" looks soooo much better, thought I had a low rider for awhile. 1 question, I've been reading in the forums, for info on different stuff, but didn't seem to find an answer for it, how wide of wheel can I run, I think it would look better with 8" wheels than the chrome stockers, but I keep reading how the front end on these things can't handle alot. I wont be wheel'n this thing hard at all, just trails up to my faverite fish'n holes, got the real truck for Moab and hard wheel'n,but I sure don't wanna wreck it just fart'n around. should I just stick with the stock wheels or can I go to 8" wheels with out breaking something?

DJ Dank Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hey welcome to the board! The stock wheels were what..15x7? or were they 15x6? There are people who've gone up to 15x10's on huge rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rttallon Posted December 21, 2006 Author Share Posted December 21, 2006 thanks for the fast reply, have to start looking for some old chrome directionals. Frist I need to find a spare tire rack, mines on the inside, would like one on the outside. Well guess I'm about to find out how these lil guys do in the snow, just went outside ,got about 3 feet of snow behind me. This could be fun! I'll let you'all know tomarrow if I make it out or not, or if I have to use my Bronco, I know she'll get me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rttallon Posted December 22, 2006 Author Share Posted December 22, 2006 Well we ended up with about 21 inch's of snow and any where from 3 to4 foot drifts, I have to give the lil turd credit! almost got me out, so used the bronco to make a path and then the pathy got me out to the clear roads. You'll get a kick outa this, went over to try and get my freind out and when I get there the guy next stoor has a 89 nissan p.u. him and me were the only ones in the circle that could get around, so there we were driving back and forth flatting out the snow and pulling everyone out. I pulled out a yukon and a dodge truck, that there's funny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Heh, I've pulled out many a Ford, Chevy and Toyota with the Pathy. Most people are like, "Are you sure it'll get us out?" Hah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdpathy Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Heh, I've pulled out many a Ford, Chevy and Toyota with the Pathy. Most people are like, "Are you sure it'll get us out?" Hah! I have gotten stuck so many time, but every time I could pull myself out. Although twice another vehicle was handy so I used it to pull me out. *resists urge to point out MrJims story* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bear claw Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 Pulling out and recovery of other than Pathy’s are the best *where the camera when you need one* but pulling out or getting pulled by your own kind is even sweater -bounce- (it’s a dependability and reliability thing you know) Oh Welcome to NPORA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aries247 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 (edited) i have 31" tires on 15x10" wheels and haven't broken anything yet. the wheels and tires actually came off my 87 chevy suburban. they stick out from the fenders about 2 inches. i'll try and get pictures of how far they stick out. they are kinda chrome. i have a 91 xe. they are the same wheel and tire combo in my sig. pic.

rttallon Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 Slide the bottle over here! Thanks everyone for all the hello's, input, and info, you'all and this sight are something else :bow: well after the weekend the total # of pulls comes out to 8, people should stay at home if they can't drive in snow! I'll see what I can find for wheels that I like, don't really like any new stuff, like to find some chrome directionals I think they'ed fit the body lines, and look kinda tough.
