Lyss Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Hiiii, =D My Name's alyssa. I just bought myself a pathfinder for my first truck, 17th birthday. Ive got some serious issues with it that have to be dealt with, but I wanna turn it into a crazy little beast. Ive never been on one of these things, even for my quad but I could kinda use some help with my pathy so I figured I'd give it a shot. So helllooo. =] Hope to talk to you guys sooonn.

Lyss Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 thanks for the info ha, seriously. I dont mean to sound naive but I really have no idea how im going to do everything. =/ All I know is after I fix everything I wanna put 3" SL on it and some nice big all-terrains. +Lights and a dixie horn. It's got a lot of cosmetic problems and stupid little things, like the fog lights on the grille guard are just kind of hanging there? not connected to anything? And the trunk door is bent sideways so it doesnt close correctly and there is ridiculous water damage to the inside. I'm doing everything from my own paychecks so I'm kinda hunting for bargain fixes but I still want it done right. =/ I appreciate the hellpppp. =] Quick question? I heard it was normal for pathys to get holes in the floorboards when theyre old. True? Mine has three. I was gonna slap sheet metal over it but I'm not too sure if thats exactly safe aha.

Pezzy Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Welcome to NPORA! Yeah, the older pathys tend to rust out some... typically in the driver foot well, and under the back seats. There's lots of info here to be had, and search is your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Quick question? I heard it was normal for pathys to get holes in the floorboards when theyre old. True? Mine has three. I was gonna slap sheet metal over it but I'm not too sure if thats exactly safe aha. Yeah, pezzy mentioned the common rust spots. Also check the rear quarter panels, as it can let in dirt and short out your tail light harness. Learned that one the hard way. I would look into the frame rot issue first though....Crippled my first pathy that I got at 16 which is my 93 that is in storage now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fukinitupagain Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 &wow buddy with the sexist remark. not to be rude but totally not cool. The remark was actually aimed at the guys, but my avart is sexist (damn avarts not being PC & what not)... and in any event i don't mind people being rude to me, I am used to it from work. Get some pics up of the Pathy so we can check her out. I know you are wanting to lift her so are wanting to wheel her too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fukinitupagain Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 its a little depressing though. ::sighs:: Atleast yours still runs! Mine doesn't even have an engine in it right now.

Lyss Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 i mean ONLY thing i like about living in CA........ rust freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee yeah.......... I live on Long Island. -_____- Salty sea breezessssssss<3 .. </3 Pretty much a killer but its whatever I guess. Atlantic Oceans = No bueno. Atleast yours still runs! Mine doesn't even have an engine in it right now. Like Slick said, if it aint on the frame then you're golden. &yeahh. She runs but shes got that rattling noise which Im assuming is the muffler. Cause I rev the engine and it sounds like its gonna pop off haha. I wanna lift 'er real bad. 33's and all. But I'm short for cash and christmas is tugging at my pockets right now. I work at a golf course. Business this time of year is better off dead. So I figure once I fix all the stupid little problems with my pathy, come springtime I can start the real mods cause Ill have the money for it and the weather will be a bit nicer. P.S. Ill get some better pictures once I get my camera. Its currently M.I.A. ... o.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted November 26, 2008 Share Posted November 26, 2008 &wow buddy with the sexist remark. not to be rude but totally not cool. It's actually not sexist...
