enginerd Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 i'm a long time lurker and tuck of the month photo thief. just picked up a '94 pathy on wednesday night, and it's been in the shop getting some needed fixes now. should be able to pick up tomorrow, and start having some fun! northwest folks, hopefully you can show me what these things can do sometime... a little about the truck: 1994 SE 4x4 white ext, grey int all options, but with MT appears stock, though the auto hubs were trashed and will be replaced with manuals this truck will be a weekend toy and hopefully will be solid enough to make long ski trips with. never really been offroad, but intent to break the seal asap.

Precise1 Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Welcome Mr E!! this truck will be a weekend toy and hopefully will be solid enough to make long ski trips with. never really been offroad, but intent to break the seal asap. How many miles? Make sure to read the TSB pinned at the top of the garage section about 'overfilling' the manual tranny. When was the last time the timing belt was replaced? Do you like gladiator movies? B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enginerd Posted January 26, 2009 Author Share Posted January 26, 2009 I'm a mechanical engineer, and work for McKinstry (HVAC & Plumbing). The truck has 223k on it, so it needed some work to get back to right. Timing belt, all four CV joints, front hubs, and all fluids were changed at the end of last week. While I'm in deep already, it was worth it for the options I wanted, with MT, and as little rust on the frame as could be expected (there appears to be some surface rust over the rear wheels that will get attention soon). The info I found on this forum was great for my search. It's even helped with the shop already, as I was able to tell them exactly what I wanted them to focus on first. I just hope they'll be done today! Hmmm, gladiator movies? Why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginerd Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'll post pictures after this weekend's Whistler trip, which will hopefully be much better that the only ones I have, which are from the craigs list ad. Since it should be snowing all weekend, there should be some good opportunities to test this thing out. Can't help you with the gratuitous men's locker room thing, really not my deal. And sorry, apparently I'm more than a little slow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

enginerd Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 OK, snow we waited for Monday to hit the mountain, and it paid off. It was bone dry Sunday afternoon, and then... And the Pathy did great. I was very impressed. Even though the battery is now dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
