Re: Good Junkyard finds

Good enough reason to come visit Ottawa. They are open Sat and Sun ;)

Not sure when I will next be over there. I usually only go every 2 weeks or so.

Will try to remember to post up next time before I go.

Re: Good Junkyard finds

No idea. Didn't look under the hood to see if the problem was there. Was a bit dirty inside though as if it had been sitting a while. She is actually one of the best looking vehicles in the yard. But whatever the case she will sit there until people take enough parts off her that she is no longer wo...

Re: Good Junkyard finds

Here is a picture of the truck. Even has the lock nuts still on it (the socket is in the truck). Interior smells of smoke but it isn't too bad. http://i865.photobucket.com/albums/ab216/justonebullet/kennys_xterra.jpg The guy at the front desk said it had just been put there this morning. Is why noth...

Re: Good Junkyard finds

Just got out of Kenny's here in Ottawa. They have an older generation xterra right at the front of the yard. Hasn't been touched at all yet. It is in pretty good shape. Will post a pic when i get to a computer but it is complete (at the moment). So if you need parts, I would go asap. Looks like it w...

Re: Good place to buy tires

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

Anywhere I can get it locally? I know for sure that NAPA in Smiths Falls sells it. Saw it when i was there yesterday. It is right across from the main counter. They have it in two sizes. They also have the POR if you still want to spend the big money on it. NAPA in Smiths Falls is right after the W...

Use COM16 instead. Is the exact same thing as POR15, but is made in Canada and is a hell of a lot cheaper.

Re: Good place to buy tires

Cheapest is usually Canadian Tire. I saved $200 on my last set of tires going to CT versus a place where I had a commercial discount (even though I bought $5k worth of tires each year from this place). But remember if you go to the US you are making sure a Canadian company looses a sale. I could hav...

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

When i had my snorkel on the pathy, I installed a drain on the air box just in case some water got in there. Left the drain open while driving normally, but closed it when wheeling. Never had any problems.

Re: Looking for a new ride - xterra or Frontier maybe

Painting is no problem for me. I have done it many times before. Yeah I know what you mean about kijiji. Have a friend trying to sell a truck and he says he would rather send the truck to the scrapper than sell it on kijiji. I posted a couple things on kijiji a while back and it seems my number got ...

Re: Looking for a new ride - xterra or Frontier maybe

mine is still in the garage waiting for new owner lol Yeah I was thinking about yours and was wondering if it was still for sale. Thought you had likely sold it by now. Even with the mileage, I know you have taken good care of it. Only problem is that I would likely end up repainting her. I am not ...

Re: Looking for a new ride - xterra or Frontier maybe

With the HB continuing to cost money, I have been back on the lookout for another truck. Thought this would be a good time of year, since a lot of people who bought the 4x4 trucks for winter are now going to sell them. But it seems as if most people are still holding onto them. There are some trucks...

Re: CPS problems in Morrisburg

http://www.kennyupull.net/pricelist.php It is a pull it yourself yard so things are ridiculously cheap. If you want a ride let me know, I've got no work this week. FYI. Was at Kennys in Ottawa on Friday and there were no R50's/xterra's or anything else interesting in the yard. If they did have some...

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

Changed the engine, tranny and rear diff fluids. I don't remember the last time I changed the diff and tranny fluids, but all the used fluids still looked really good. As most people know, gear oil really stinks when it needs changing, but mine was fine. Probably didn't need changing, but I wanted t...

Re: CDN NTC BBM Group

Is pretty much what Snafu said. Is Black Berry Messaging. Just like MSN/Yahoo chat, but on your BB.

Comes with pretty much every BB plan, and you need a BB to use it.

I use to have a BB but went to Android a couple months ago. I do not regret the switch.

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

Picked up the HB from the garage. There were four broken studs. They had to install some heli-coils on the broken stud holes. Price came in just slightly under my estimate. Is like night and day driving it back. No more p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p while accelerating. Engine is a lot quieter and it get...

Re: What did you do to your rig today?

Is not just an axle seal, but just a never ending list of repairs. Has cost me around $6,500 so far since I bought it 2 years ago. And the total keeps climbing. The manifold stud job will likely cost me around $500. The engine is also burning around a 1/2 liter of oil a week. Meaning that I either h...

Brought the HB to the garage to find the exhaust leak up near the engine. Garage called back and said there are three broken studs on the passenger side manifold. I also have leaking seals on the back of the transfer case and the rear axle. Only getting them to replace the broken studs. Nothing else...
