Not me (too far away) but holy **** Ron, haven't seen you post in a bit. Nice to see you're at least lurking from time to time ;). Or may be I'm not keeping up in the right threads...

lol, thanks for the offer on behalf of the board, but I think it defeats the purpose of coffee night ;) Now if you're offering a personal tour & my father in-law is busy....

I've had a drink, or two, or 2 dozen on a ship before but it was never coffee. My father in-law is retired Navy ;)

Popeye (lol) is likely on the right path. If your master cylinder is going, when you apply pressure to the diaphragm in the opposite direction it can rip the seal. Had this happen on my Nissan 720. Since then I have always opened the bleeder whn compressing the piston back into the caliper. Could also be a build up on the piston causing it to stick in the caliper meaning your only effectively using 2 or 3 corners when braking.

slacker

That's right Brandi, beat the dog, beat him...

Agreed Rob, however it also required a run to home to get parts and then return to repair. I think Scott was noting that the Libby was able to get off the trails under it's own power, without any additional trips to leave the trail ;) Spaceace, do you have the know-how & tools to do this repair on your own? I did this on my 96 Pathfinder (almost the same) and I can tell you for a fact that liberal amounts of your favoured rust fluid & air tools are a must. Given the age, most of the bolts will snap if you use a cheater bar and sockets in the driveway (ask me how I know!!??). For the bolt & nut combo, this is not an issue, you can get them from your favorite shop, for the bolts to OEM frame mount welded nuts, this is not going to work in you favour. I used the auto-club at CFB Windsor when I replaced my rusted pan (in 2004) and it took about 2 hours start to finish...most shops will quote the shop manual hour time of 3.5 hours.

That sucks. On the 1st gen X's you have to drop the front diff to get to the pan.

lol, yes details do help, dented vs. scraped is a bit different. In the end, another example as to why good skids should be at the top of the "mod list"...you can drag a vehicle under it's own power over many obstacles without too much fear.

More details man as to which one dented...OEM of RR's? Based on your previous post, I'm believing it's the RR...imagine if you were stock... In the end another great post as to why aftermarket skids are worth their weight!! I still have a golf ball sized dent in my lower oil pan from an outing back in 2009. I certainly will not have the same issue today (3/16" front to back) ;)

What do you have for skids? OEM or aftermarket?

Nice Brandi. A DSLR makes a huge difference. We picked up a Canon T4i back in December.

might even have some on the inner fender splash shield!!!

yep, got a little splash on the front bumper!!!

I drove through a puddle today, can I post it? Soccer DAD mobile got dirty, James...

In the Runner?? lol

Problem is not only with the tread exposed on the side of the vehicle, but also the tread exposed (spray) at the rear of the vehicle. Rigs get warned/cited all the time for missing a mud flap on the rear set. I can tell you for certain that my X lifted and OEM plastic flaps removed, I throw A LOT of water behind me above 80 km/hr! On the + side, it's great in the winter when you get an a$$hat on your rear bumper at a light or sign...quick push of the skinny pedal and they get a windshield full of snow!

I see a need for it. My 101 electrical, that I'm working on is already 4+ posts in a single thread (not done yet!).

Come clean Rob..the tea is for you....

Well FML. I'm not in for the 7th. Wife is taking our daughter to see the f 'n Doodlebops in Halifax at the Rebecca Cohn on Sunday. Can't take a 1 year old on the trail in a car seat, although from the looks of the trail, we'd be stopping every 30 minutes anyway...not going to get a permission slip for this one. My off-roading life sucks as of late.... I'd ask to change to the 6th, but it makes no difference, I have the kids that day while she is on a girl run to the Valley.

lol, good one Rob :p I'll be fine for this run...it's the NSJC Relay For Life run here in the Truro area on the 13th that I cannot attend :(

It's not the seat time James, it's the winch time and the "bumpy road" (as described by my daughter)! I could drive the main roads all day...although, most of them are not much, if at all, smoother...

So far this is going to be my April run. Was waiting for the NSJC run here locally (on the 13th), but I'm going for a surgical procedure that will require a couple bags of frozen veggies to recover on the 12th. Alright, I know, TMI, but I have nothing to hide...or shoot after it's done :P

$1500 was the bill, I had to pay the deductable each time. I lived on Chadwick Place (off Willett). Parking lot backed onto the trail that runs through C P so the vehicles were easy targets for thieves "shopping" 7-8 vehicles would get hit at one time. Not very smart people as the Pathfinder had an alarm & it would go off each time they poped the lock with a screw driver.\ Cops came on 2 of the occasions as they were targeting largger vehicles. They were being used in smash & grabs. Used to be a few of these in HRM when I lived there. Vehicles being used to drive into stores to steal smokes, booze, drugs, etc.

YES. Anyone in HRM without a garage is stupid not to take advantage of this! Even those with a garage and no lift is suspect :ninja:
