hey guys.... i am thinking about buying a pathfinder.. 1992 pathfinder grey on grey v6 5sp 2wd... 199k on the oddie... the owner wants 1500 but since shes a friend of my mom she said she will take 1000 bucks.. woot woot.. my other ride is a 12sec turbocharged chevy beretta..

 

about the pathfinder.. overall is a decent truck..

what it needs

alternator

belts hoses

a good tune up(cap,wires,plugs)

carrier bearing has abite of play

rear trailing arms bushings have alot of movement

trans mount is rotted

needs a good a/c charge

maybe a brake job

driver door handle is broken

door pin bushings on the driver door are gone so the door sags a bit

speedo sticks sometimes

and by god it needs cup holders... i dont know where the stock ones went but they arent there now lol..

and both bumpers need replaced..

also needs a grill

hazard switch is broken

im sure theres more but thats all i can think of off the top of my head lol

 

but its a good running truck cant wait to get it all right and enjoy it for some time to come.

heres a few pics

 

i plan to get rid of the fog lights. both sets.

Welcome aboard. If it runs it's probably worth $1000.

 

Rear bushing is a common problem,

 

tranny mounts I've heard pathy owners talk about,

 

bumper rust a definat prob (check the frame around the rear wheels, it's also a prob)

 

cup holders never existed,

 

Grill broken common problem.......oh wait, common problem due to excesive wheeling :tongue:

 

I'm sure a quick search on this site will get you answers to most of your question.

Welcome, Lots of fun things to repiar/upgrade... I would suggest also including the Water Pump and "Timing Belt" be on the top of the list....

not a problem i work at a shop as a mechanic so i went over this thing time and time again just to make sure everything is up to par.. the lady has complete service records of it and when i get those ill see how long ago she had the timing belt changed i usually always replace the water pump when i put on a timing belt..lol cheap insurance

Welcome the the board WAVEY...

 

Smack the frame rails in the rear wheel wells and if you have already done it once, do it again just to be sure ;)

 

And although Pezzy and Casey have already mentioned it, I'll mention it again for the benefit of any other new members who read this... Timing Belt! :aok:
