My 1990 Nissan Pathfinder used to take me to kindergarden when i was little now it takes me where ever i point it.
it's got 376,000 mi on the odo :shock: and is awaiting the first Nissan Pathfinder Atlas transfercase install. and a 3-link rear suspension.

3-Link Solid Axle Swap w/ coilovers
D44 Front axle w/ chromoly shafts
Running 35" BFG AT's (driven on the street alot)
Cobra CB w/ Firestik antenna
Yaesu FT-8100 vhf/uhf w/ larsen dual band antenna.

SAS Build Details online at 4 Wheel Drive and Sport Utility: Nissan Pathfinder Solid Axle Swap
More article to come on the atlas install and rear 3-link..
Keep your Eyes on http://ruggedrocksoffroad.com for the latest in the nissan aftermarket.
Hopefully we'll start to see more nissans on the trail after the Nissans get a little more aftermarket support.

The pathfinder is looking good Steve. Not sure if you remember but I wheeled with you up in calico at the clean up friday night. How is the clutch?
Because in the end it has almost nothing to do with the bike and everything to do with setting
out to accomplish something that is intimidating, that is unknown to you, something you know you
have a good chance of failing at but doing it anyways and slowly but surely proving yourself wrong.

Hey Jeshua I remember for sure, glad you got that bumper taken care of.
The clutch is actually fine, it's just that my gearing isn't deep enough so i was either stalling or had a slipping cluch when i gave it lots of gas.

BUT.... my 5:1 Atlas t-case is on it's way :D
