El Pathfindero Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) Well its been a few years since I visited my old home here at NPORA. I think I las posted in the winter of 07. Too long in my book. I bet most of you've forgotten who I am by now lol. Did my Wyotch thing, got out of school and decided to do the body shop life. Started making some money and realized I could afford a new rig. Sooo I bought a 2001 Toyota Tacoma Doublecab. Great truck. Well then things went south at the body shop and I couldn't deal with their crap anymore. So my job hunt lead me to a company on the other side of south dakota that made huge scoreboards for major and national leagues. They offered me $4 more an hour to paint these monster chunks of metal. I took the job that day. But that meant I had to move, and moving costs money, so I had to sell my pathy. That was a hard thing to do. Considering I had 250,000 on the ticker and countless memories in that thing. Fast forward a year and I've met a girl and we're gonna move to missouri, so I gotta cut a few costs, mainly my Tacoma. So I start looking for something cheap to replace that. My first thoughts were "get another Pathy" I looked and looked and only found one, and it was an overpriced POS. A guy down the road had an 87 jeep comanche that he only wanted $1000 for, so I decided to get that and fix it up since we still had about 6 months til the move. So I watched another rig I loved go on down the road, and climbed into the Heep to start again Fast forward about 9 more months, and the fiancee dumped me, I moved into a cheaper place, and the jeep refuses to take an hour long trip without something going wrong and leaving me stranded. So I've been looking at my "fixit list" for the jeep (new floors, new rockers, new bumpers, tires, lift, carpet, seats, possibly a transmission) and am really debating on giving up. I found a 94 pathy for 1500 bucks. I think its time to go back to Japan. Its either fix up the MJ (comanche), buy the pathy, or take out another loan and buy a frontier or a subaru. I emailed the Pathy guy asking for some info before I even try to make the 1 hour journey in the Heep to take a look at it. I'm not gonna bother to put up a poll, cuz all you knuckleheads will vote Pathy Thanks for taking a trip down memory lane with me. And if ya remember me, even better! See ya around! Travis Oh yeah! I'll post pics of the rigs tomorrow if I remember! Edited July 14, 2010 by El Pathfindero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

180sx Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Seems like cuting costs in the begining took a toll in the long run. But I would find out more about the pathy. What year is it anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Ya, I remember ya, but you are welcome back anyway... What a twisty path, but the younger years are often like that. Good luck with the Pathy, I hope you find a decent one. If you were closer, they are a dime a dozen out here... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headpeace Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 I remember ya, good luck on your decision, are you still moving to Mo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pathfindero Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 The new pathy I'm looking at is a 94, no idea what trim, but it really doesn't matter to me. Its a V6 4x4 with an auto. I'll probably take it from the dealership straight to the shop to do a trans fluid flush and throw a trans cooler on it (my auto on my 93 went out twice) No way am I moving to MO, was headed there with the lady, but the lady decided she didn't want me tagging along. Whatever I guess Yeah, I'd sell most everything I have to get my Tacoma or Pathy back. Not this POS jeep. Moral of the story? Never buy american Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
