Hello,

I am an experienced gear head, but have limited myself to Mazdas until now. The combination of a new baby boy and my old baby(1984 Mazda B2000)'s poor heater got me looking at the used car market. I came across a 1998 5-speed Pathfinder Chilkoot with 178,000 kms on it. Body and underneath are in good shape. It has a small amount of death wobble, so I am rebuilding the rear suspension this weekend.

Other than that, I've been changing fluids and belts and just making sure it is ready for another 200,000 kms.

I'll start a writeup of what I've been up to in one of the tech forums.

Oh: I'm located in the heart of the Niagara Peninsula, and you can call me James.

Adding a picture of the beasty:

Hey there!! Welcome to CNTC.

I left my beloved putt putt (1990 B2200) for my pathfinder.

Welcome James.

Simon, I always think it is funny on your posts - there is a picture of a guy with a big, menacing 4" crescent wrench and snarl saying "welcome to the club!" lol!

It's ok. I'm a big Mazda guy myself, with a highly modified Mx-3 and an FC (or FD) Rx-7 on the wishlist...but they just didn't have anything that interested me in a truck. I'm been very happy with my Xterra and i'm glad there's this group of guys to have around. You should be quite pleased with your purchase, don't worry that it's not a Mazda

That guy is me. That's how I welcome people. I'm a real softy once you get to know me!

And you too could be a softy, after you meet the wrench!

Post by **Bow_Tied** » Mon Dec 15, 2008 10:39 pm

Do you bring that wrench with you wheeling?

Sadly, I don't own that wrench. It was in Bender's old shop and we were using it when we built my rear bumper. I was a big fan.

Thanks for the welcome guys,

Don't worry, I'm not getting out of Mazdas entirely. I still have my '85 RX-7, and my wife's '03 Protege5.

After 3 days of working away on the Pathfinder, I almost have it up to a good starting point. Then I can start ripping it apart and adding mods.

Well that's no fun! And I'm sure he wouldn't be here if he didn't intend on having some fun with his truck

Oh, and on that note, check out so4x4.com if you want to get into some local off-roading. Mind you, they're pretty aggressive, reason why I don't go out often, cause I don't want to break my truck since alot have either trail-dedicated or barely street-legal trucks that they don't care to beat up.
