It looks like you deleted the factory air box with that snorkel....so is there still a filter in there somewhere? 

 

 

yes theres a cone filter inside.

Really well thought out and executed build! Also really love that it's not a mall crawler, that it actually gets used regularly for it intended purpose. Really like the more utilitarian looks of the 1st gen R50's, makes me regret selling my 96, should've kept it to use as the beach cruiser/woods bomber. And I'm jealous of all the "playgrounds" you have around you, we've got nothing like that here, closest orv park is 6-7hrs away...

i am really having fun with my build. and it also surprises people wherever i go. you dont see pathfinder being used.most of them are jeeps and toyota. specially where i live it is saturated with them. everywhere you go thats all you see. i am lucky as all the parks ive been are all within 2 hrs of driving from where i live. i live almost at the center of everything up here in norcal. as you can i spent a lot of time on the SVRA from my first 2 yrs of owning the truck to get familiar with the rig and to mod it accordingly. 

 

thanks.

just by looking back how much wheeling ive been spending with this truck.almost every month i am out playing with my rig. definitely had so much fun driving this tank. i felt the subframe blocks start to flex and making some noise everytime i brake. i re tightened all my blocks and such but i still had those clunking and thud noise. cant figure it out so i decided to just get the sfd blocks welded to the frame. BIG thanks and shoutout to my friend @TowndawgR50.

 

i dont remember when we did the welding but i am lucky to have TownDawgR50 to be local to me. he came out of his way and time to help me out with getting my subframe done. wish i had more time to get back at him for helping me out. but he moved out of state. im sure every R50 guys knows him. lol

 

heres only a pic i snap of him doing his magic.
