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.

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
