RedPath88 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Horsepower is a remarkably poor measure of off road ability... B That simple statement carries much truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) DITTO!If huge horsepower was so important, then why is the 4cyl toyota so popular? I agree... some of the most successful rigs have 4cyl and small V6 power plants. *Sure HP has it's place, there is no doubt about it, but it takes more than the simple ability to spin a couple tires or comfortably drive 90mph down the freeway Edited December 29, 2005 by RedPath88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenEnvy94Pathy Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 If you like this thread, read the SUV concepts under OFF TOPIC section. There are some very good points regarding the new Nissan products, and some heated debate -argue- , but I think the clear winner by a land slide is the WD21.

gabod7 Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Horsepower is a remarkably poor measure of off road ability... B haha.. did you see the mall crawler video in the video section that came from Havoc Offroad(the club im in)? hes got a manual 454 runnin off propane under the hood of his blazer. i'll admit, hes also got beadlocks, gears, 39's, axles, lockers, everything you can thimk of... but he always hates on the yota and jeep guys (always joking and in good humor of course) saying his power is what gets him around and to be honest, i believe him. if you see where he goes in that full size rig, the trails he makes by pushin that petal to the metal, you'd believe me to. he goes places in that beast that the toys and heeps cant go and hes double the size. maybe im tryin to defend a lost cause here, but whatever, lol. i've seen toyotas with only 33's and 3 inch body lift do some crazy @!*% at RR and GR, but he steps up and guns it and gets things done. :bow: horsepower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 Off the showroom, I would still have to go with old WD-21s. Not as much plastic to fall off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001pathfinderLE Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 i have seen the R50s off road...bone stock...and it was terrible...i could not believe it was still a pathfinder...i have a 95..and with 31s it dosent do that badly...i can go farther then the explorers around me, and many jeeps, so im happy my 2001 LE does fine off road and i just had it in the snow...32" worth...dont let that truck fool you...the off roader must have been a novice. that engine always has power to spare. tap the gas and off it goes, need more power ? push the petal harder, LOL ....cant go wrong with full leather interior, navigation heated seats tv dvd ect...in the middle of a 4x4 run....creature comforts in the wilderness....what a great truck...have never gotten stuck...............yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted February 4, 2006 Share Posted February 4, 2006 ....cant go wrong with full leather interior, navigation heated seats tv dvd ect... Only thing remotely worth a damn would be the navigation, but an aftermarket stand alone GPS is better, can take it with you if you leave the truck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Luker...whachu talkin bout Willis? His sig is no bigger than GGs, and you don't bitch about that. Tell us why you're really complaining, is it that pretty R50 in it? Are you jealous of his VQ35? Or is it the Nav System you secretly lust for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that stopped him all day was a slope that was covered completely in slick, glass ice. One could argue that his tires were at fault, but a dual locked SAS Toyota pickup, on brand new 37" MTRs, with dual t-cases and 5.14s couldn't make it up the hill and had to winch out. Also, I can't forget to mention that the snow was falling at a rate of 2-3" per hour all day long, and it never got about 0°F. My lifted Pathy actually got stuck on something he made it over. Though, that was entirely my fault and not the fault of the truck. I saw the tracks all the way to the right, and I though, aw hell, I'll go left....BAM...hi-centered. D'oh! A quick snatch from the truck behind me and I was moving again, so quickly, that they didn't even have a chance to run back and get a picture...hehehe.

88pathoffroad Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 FWIW, 2-doors and 4-doors have the same wheelbase and overall length. AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CARBURETED PATHFINDER! They're all either TBI or MPFI. Why do you think there's an ECU under the seat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC88Pathy Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 (edited) Eh don't listen to Luker he's complained about this before and he knows how to turn sig's off. We probably should have some sorta defined rules about sig pic size though... Oh yea and GO 2 DOOR PATHY'S!! -bounce- Edited February 8, 2006 by SC88Pathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harbinger Posted February 8, 2006 Share Posted February 8, 2006 We probably should have some sorta defined rules about sig pic size though... We do -- its stickied at the top of general forums. From 88 Also, please keep the size of your signature pics down to the bare minimum. They should be around 15-30 kb in size, and yes, it is possible to have a small filesize picture that still looks good. Mine is 13 kb. How's that look?
