ferrariowner123 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Because we all know that while out brethren to the north is always welcome down south, they've had their same share of village idiots now and then, that will always be fun to make comments about. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theexbrit Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'm actually a Canadian citizen, my father being from Montreal, eh. "Strange Brew" is one of my favorite movies, so take off you hosers! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dududuckling Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) An updated R50 with a swing away, man you Canadians get all the good stuff!! Ahh, i ask because i had a good laugh when my 31" was installed, so anything bigger would be comical, Rust is not the good stuff haha... and mine's a 2000, so essentially its a 1999 with the 2001 body. I think 2000 is also the last year with the tire swing carrier. Edited November 8, 2013 by dududuckling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I hope to have what you've got in terms of body with a conversion soon. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Pathfinder4x4 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 Update after returning from a hiatus: My "door open" light comes on at takeoff. I think the weight of the tire is taking it's toll. I'm looking for good ideas for a rear bumper fabrication this summer. I bought a house, so once the garage is in working order the Pathy will return to active status! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Could also be the rear hatch sensor flipping out. I don't know if R50s have the same crap sensor as the WD21s, but it's a common WD problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Pathfinder4x4 Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I want to build a rear bumper and reinforce the tire. I also want to add a jerry can or two. I plan to rig a new sensor anyhow...or test the old one. Thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Custom bumper/carrier will probably work better anyway. Until then, you can take the rubber boot off the tire carrier switch, cut a little rubber circle from a scrap of something, stick that in the rubber boot, the put the switch back in (assuming that switch is the same design as the WD21). It presses the plunger a little further so the light doesn't flicker. I did this on my '95 when the switch started to wear out and flicker on bumps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also put a new switch in as the old one was shorting out. Never had an issue with the light since, even over rough terrain. 'Course, taking the bulb out works as well Hey Jeff, wondered where you've been bro. We hit that trail again in Anza that has the Piepkorn slot, that's the one where your group went when we split up on the SCORE trip. We all went down the hill to the left as the side of the hill you guys went down is all messed up now. Edited July 17, 2014 by theexbrit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Pathfinder4x4 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Bought a house. House hunting takes alot of time in this market. Stable now and things are looking great! Going to be troubleshooting electrical. Battery dies...both...if I don't drive ot for a week. That's for another thread though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quaintbucket Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 you sure your alternator isn't going/gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96Pathfinder4x4 Posted July 17, 2014 Author Share Posted July 17, 2014 Yep. Once charged it sits at 13V and if I drive it more than once a month it will stay charged. On that note....what is the popular upgraded alt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theexbrit Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Maxima alt is the popular upgrade I believe. Check your Tmax install, it should isolate the batteries from each other so even if one goes dead the other shouldn't. Bad ground?
