@RainGoat Thanks for the greet and the info about the power valves. I will definately check up on that. Also the link for the bumper, OMG that's almost 100% what I had pictured in my mind for my front. (Minor changes on the lights). THANKS AGAIN @ RainGoat for some great starting info

For all and anyone who joins this topic, thanks ahead of time for tips and help on my project.

@ Zraver thanks for the greet and great starting info. Yeah I'm thinking the same as you about turning my rig into a runner instead of a crawler lol. My mom had a 03 wrangler which I helped turn into a crawler and it made me wanted one too. But I'm more of an all around guy so I would rather prefer a runner which I can make use as a weekday worker and a weekend runner. For the lift: I'm planning on a 2" lift all around to save some gas lol. But I need help on the type of lift, brand, and where to buy (online or at a store). I dont want to do a half ass job. Lol For the tires: I'm having a hard time deciding on keeping stock wheels and just getting bigger tires or getting a whole new set of tires and wheels where I can swap out for the weekend runs. The size of tires is another dilemma too lol. Body armor: Front: I'm planning to put a low profile solid metal or tube bumper for clearance with winch but I dont think they still make those anymore and if they do then where can I find one. Rear: I'm planning on putting a low profile 4 or 5" tube bumper (which I'm gonna fabricate) that's also used as an air tank to reinflate the tires. Underbody: ??? Gonna need ideas and help figuring out how to armor that lol. For the roof: I'm thinking a low profile rack for storage with led light rails and/or pods all around. (Probably grabbing those on Ebay but need help and ideas on brand. Lights: Lol dont worry I want my rig all lit up too the only thing is how lit would I want it. Not trying to be an airplane landing marker Haha. Communication: I had a cb ham scanner already laying around extra from my mother's jeep so I'm set on that point. Wow looking at all this, I think this mild project is basically a major build in my eyes. Whew I guess I gotta start sucking up to my wifey(boss)????

Hi I'm new to NPORA and semi new to Nissan. I got 2 pathys: one is a gray on black 99 r50 vg33 2x4 stock that I picked up randomly 5 years ago because I needed transportation and the other I just picked up a week ago because i fell in love with pathys and it brought back my dream of making a runner/crawler. It is a gray black on black 03 r50 vg35 4x4 stock also. I've always wanted to build a runner/crawler and I think that my 03 r50 will be it. I've tinkered with cars for more than 15 years so I know a good amount about working on them. I could be called a garage mechanic. I'm planning on making the 03 r50 a mild project but who knows it might become a wild project if I become even more in love with it. Any help along the way to my dream would be much appreciated. Oh and I'm in Northern California near Roseville and I would like to join any meets if there are any to share any ideas and info on these rings. My plans for this rig is: *Front winch bumper *Rear HD / more clearance bumper *Maybe 2-3" lift *Bigger tires 31s or 33s, whichever will fit better *Nice roof rack for cargo and maybe tent conversion *All around led lighting bars and pods *Interior ideas ( storage, led lighting and guage lighting) *******and probably other stuff along the way *Pics of my loves coming soon*  P.S. sorry for the long intro, I'm just soo excited about finding this site.
