Harbinger Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Beautiful work! You sir are indeed a god among men. Here I am being baffled by a transmission swap, let alone doing custom fab work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandpaX Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) No cage work first? Do you like cages on a daily driver? LOL... just kidding ya! Not on this truck.. it is a daily driver first. The next project will have a cage... however being it is a TJ I doubt you guys will want to see it. It is a 99 tj tube.. With a VH45, Nissan 5 speed, NWF doubler with Calmini gears and an NP 205 for the rear case, Spider 9's, coil-overs, full hydro, triangulated 4 link front and rear, etc Most of the parts are already here... just need to take the time to put it together. I wish Nissan would put something new out there that would be fun to put these parts on... The newest Pathfinders (2013) lost their man card... I wonder how bad Nissan is going to mess up the next version of the Xterra. Sad day for me... my first rig (28 years ago) was a '74 620 Datsun truck. Guess it is time for a change....

The_Magicians_Eye Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 To answer your question yes I like cages on a daily driver. Wouldn't be the first time I've been in that boat. And yes I would like to see your next build. Don't care if anyone else wants to see it or not. I'm a fan of any type of fab work so long as it's good work.

Slartibartfast Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I don't care if you overhaul a Rascal scooter, I'd read the build thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandpaX Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) The TJ will start this winter. We will probably sell the wife's Xterra, drive her 06 Pathfinder into the ground, then she wants a 4 door JK. For me the HB is showing it's age and will probably be torn down when this 87 Pathy is complete. This engine got 35 mpg in the 300z so maybe I will see a little increase in mileage with this engine transplant. With Nistune I may be able to have different settings for different uses. Mileage/towing/wheeling... The TJ will basically take the best of the leftover parts.. Should be a fun little project and will sound completely wacked compared to the other wranglers out there. I wanted an early bronco but most of them have rust problems that I don't want to deal with. We found a TJ tub and frame with a title on craigslist awhile back. It should make a neat project and will sell better if I ever want to go another direction. The TJ will be a trailer queen... and will look something like this one with a few twists...

The_Magicians_Eye Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 The vinyl is an upgrade. Start like you're ordering carpet and then you will see the vinyl upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrandpaX Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) So the intercooler inlet is on the driver side and the outlet on the passenger.... why not make an intake that points towards the output of the intercooler.
