rgallant Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hi All, Here from BC just east of Vancouver. 1st Pathfinder, but lots of off road experience. Had an Xterra previous to this it went wheels up after some nasty black ice. Job change meant something a little easier on the pocket book. So here I am.

Pezzy Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Ouch @ Wheels up... sounds scary. Welcome to NPORA!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 your supposed to keep the greesy side DOWN! But at least you went from an X to a Pathfinder... next you might go with a wd21! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Welcome to NPORA Bud!! Well, sorry to hear about the X. As Nunya said, the WD21 (pre96) would have been closer to what the X was like, but less tippy... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgallant Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 Sounds bad really was not, went of the road into snow. X was still going forward and sideways. One side grabbed and she flipped, no roll literally went from wheels to roof. Towing yard started her and moved it as far as me and the insurance company can figure and toasted the motor. Oil rings were completely gone. Would have gone WD21, but every one I look at needed a lot of work / rust removal. The one I got had the timing belt done at 156K only 218 on here now, exhaust done, front rotors and brakes, trailing arms are fairly new as well. So I can spend my money on the good stuff. Only bad thing is man is the suspension soft, but that is going soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I've seen ins. companies drop motors in X's for them being on their side (on ones they fix), gotta figure laying on its lid though, fluids got where they shouldn't and left where they should...
