  1. G'day all again, well alot has happened last time I was on, threw some Tough Dog Heavy duty springs under the R50....(feel the bumps, but keeps me outta the rutts), scored some ROH 7x15 rims, just waiting on the Big Horns to hit Queensland then I am throwing some 31's under her..... UHF installed, snorkel, Dual battery system, inverters. I have replaced my winch cable (still using cable, still not sure about UV rays and salt on the rope stuff) think my winch has taken it's toll on my battery, I had a look at it and found it was only a 220CCA, think I am gonna need more with the 8000 Warn. All in all, luving the Pathie, she goes and goes, and have found out it even goes where big fat landcruisers can't go.....up rock walls! Uploaded with ImageShack.us
  2. I like the idea of a country wide meet.......going to run into some troubles along the way I'm sure, but I think something should be put forward about showing the others what each of us play around in!
  3. thanks for the help guys...... my problem seems to be finding anything that will fit my R50 in Australia, thanks for the links!
  4. Hey folks, I was wondering if anyone has tried and tested to see if the R51 weather shield will fit onto the R50...... Nissan no longer make weather shields for the R50 and am hoping the window shape between the R51 and the R50 are the same...
  5. ok guys, here's a doosy! Does the R51 drivers side weather shield fit onto the R50? Was wondering if they have the same window shape as I have found out Nissan have discontinued the R50 supplies
  6. Always getting Dirty!

  7. Hehehe.....well I make fun of 60, 70 and 80 series Landies, and keep up with Disco's. Because I don't have the ground clearance, I want to protect as much as I can, so I can get home. Nothing worse than a hole in your sump. She's getting a full tint on Thursday, darkest possible for the back, and darkest legal for the front. Then some 31's. Just want to research more about lift kits and future laws about them, don't want to get a 2inch lift and find out next year I have to reverse engineer. Uploaded with ImageShack.us
  8. Thanks for the reply, well alot has happened to the old girl of late, snorkel fitted, new cooling system hoses, winch was overhauled, UHF radio went in (no more AA's for the hand helds), wiring system for the installation for second battery completed, and have attached a solar panel to the main battery for now to keep it charged when I am pulled over for happy hour! Now, some weight adding, anyone know of a company that makes skid plates for the R50 Pathfinder's, and side steps? Have been reviewing the Black Panthers, but they went outta shop in 2006. Survival is the key, survive to pull out your mates!
  9. sounds like it's comming from the front area, happens when it warms up, at low speeds up to 20km/h, I have this problem, center bearing!
  10. Thanks guys, yes I do eat roots and leaves, just like my truck. Also wondering with the snorkel, do I need to plug up the drain hole in the arifilter box? 1st time snorkler! I hope to have a pic 1 day of me pulling out my mate in his 70 series landcruiser. Pic will be posted that arvo. It might even happen this weekend. And if you guys are every up this way on the sunny coast, drop us a line, my mates and myself would be more than happy to take a tour! P.S. Anyone wanting a snorkel fitted be aware......apprently a pain in the butt to fit according to my Panel Beater, hence why I took it to him!
  11. G'day all, thought I would say hi, everryone calls me Wombat (luv my sleep), just aquired my 96' Pathfinder and have already thrown a little bit at it. Located on the Sunny Coast, I enjoy comfort where my Pitbull enjoys sand, mud, water and dirt! This baby keeps up with Lancruisers and Patrols, so it's getting very capable. Next on the list is some 31's. Just wondering if I can fit 31's on a 15inch x 6.5inch rim? http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/9950/20100826145533.jpg
  12. G'day folks, name is Wombat, live on the sunny coast in Queensland (fun 4WD grounds), have a 96' Pathfinder which so far has treated me really well on and off road. Was wondering tho if any one could hook me up with some parts suppliers as I had to change the top cooling system hose today and found out there was none in the country....Bummer! Any how, if you ever plan on a trip to the sunny coast, get in contact with me and me and my mates can show you around......luv putting Landcruisers to shame, next to come is a sticker that reads "Attack Busted Toyota Here" and an arrow pointing at the hitch!
