Worked on the pathfinder a little bit today. I found a killer deal on a used ARB bumper off Craigslist and I couldn’t pass it up. I was going to use the Coastal off-road bumper but I was able to get this bumper for the same price. It also saves me the time from having to weld and paint it myself. The bumper does have a couple scratches on it but I’ll be painting it with raptor lining eventually. Installation was pretty straight forward. Took my 8 year old and I about 45 minutes to put it together without any instructions. The guy who sold it to me is also offering an almost new smitty bilt 9500lb winch for 200. Does anyone have anything positive to say about smitty bilt or should I splurge for a warn? The only thing I don’t really like about the the ARB is that it does stick out quite a bit and does lose some approach angle. This build is more a overland vehicle so I guess it won’t matter too much. Oh the bumper also came with a set of vision x lights. I didn’t realize until I got home and did some research that the lights are $550 msrp so I scored on that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I still haven’t fixed my odometer light either [emoji23] and I have everything to do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

FTFY

I've seen a lot of the active guys on here have a build thread, so I thought id make one of my own so that everything I've done and everything that I plan do to her in the future can all be in one place. Introducing my 2001 3.3L Series II R50 Ti as bought early 2019.. 190XXX KMS on the clock. Stock as a rock with Nissan factory bullbar and sidesteps, last owner had mounted a side awning! Ive done a fair bit to her over the past 12 months including; - 2" Lift Lovells Shocks and Medium Load Springs - 31" M/T's on 16" Sunraysia Steelies - 42" XTM Roofmount Light Bar - 2x 7" KINGS Domin8tor LED Spotties - BushSkinz 4x4 Bash/Skid Plate - 105AH Duel Battery - 40AH DCDC Charger - 900x1000 Titan Rear Drawers (Inner Wheel Arch required some uh.. 'trimming') - Slotted Rotors + Heavy Duty Brake Pads Plus a ton of other small mods Ill probably update as I remember.. And general maintenance such as all of the belts replaced, practically everything fuel related has been replaced with new, new Steering Pump and Rack, Spark Plugs, Distributor.. umm.. A lot of small things have been done over the year.. including 65,000KMS on the clock.. We get around.. SO. Below are some photos of her now and over the year as shes progressed.. < BUSHSKINZ BASHPLATE LOVELLS 2INCH LIFT TITAN REAR DRAWERS + 20L WATER TANK + FRIDGE/FREEZER + DUEL BATTERY HOUSING THUNDER 40AMP DCDC CHARGER + SOME SOCKETS MOUNTED ON WALL BLUETOOTH HEAD UNIT + ORICOM DUEL ANTENNA UHF Probably seen these before but I think these reverse cameras integrated into the rearview mirror and bloody awesome! I have a control switch where one of the coin holders were so I can have it on permanently when the cargo area is full and you cant see out the back. JUST A SILLY EXHAUST TIP PURELY FOR SEX APPEAL That's all so far.. but I have no plans of slowing down anytime soon.. next thing on the agenda will be custom flares as the stock ones just take up too much of the wheel arch for my liking.. HID Headlights.. Snorkel will probably be the next mod as the wet season approaches.. Rear Lockers.. Maybe front as well.. see what happens.. Rear LED's for camping.. Smoked out taillights.. Taillight Guards.. Also keeping my eyes out for a QX4 woodgrain interior to swap out.. A custom rear bar would also be great in the future.. adding a bit more departure angle.. See how we go with getting the new XROX bar and Winch done before wet season too.. As you can all probably guess this list is nowhere near finished and will continue to grow and I will be posting all future mods as they happen in this topic for anyone who is interested. Cheers guys, if you have any ideas or tips please let me know and I will try to do the same!

I guess good on Nissan for not letting them get into this 20+ year old car. But damn, I wish they did get in easier because they destroyed the sheet metal around the lock too so its just floating in the hole now. Could have broke the window and I would have been much happier than even attempting the lock. Even sillier, i don't think the rear hatch was even locked at the time that this happened. Anyone have a spare passenger door in this horrible teal color lying around? lol.

The sad fact is that adding a camera will just add something else they steal. In Seattle, when they stole my Maxima & broke into my Pathfinder in a locked garage, the police didn’t even want to see the video of the Ford Ranger they brought in with their tools.

Yeah, I can’t complain- mine are leftovers [mention=39745]stpickens[/mention] graciously gave me. I missed the one by the odometer and, a year later, I’ve been too lazy to go back & fix it - actually I really hate the process of pulling that speedometer surround out. It feels like you’re going to snap it. Quite honestly,@stpickens did that for me too.

i bought mine on amazon and the options were blue white red and orange. i went with blue because that wwas my first choice but i ordered the wrong ones. the smaller idiot lights are 74. so far im really into it but maybe orange wouldn't be so bad. the ones i got were auxito 194

She may be my Offroad Toy - but she’s still a work horse too. Quarantine Project time - she just swallows that stuff up. That weight doesn’t even begin to touch the LR 9448s

Filed a police report, don't expect anything to come of if, really just to have the crime reported on some metric somewhere I guess. Officer said they were probably trying to steal it if they came back again. WTF!?!? Who wants to steal this old bucket? So I parked it in my apartments gated spot. Had to move my slightly nicer car to the street for now.

So this happened the night before last. This morning I find that they tried the driver door now. Now neither door will accept my key.

LED dash lights a success. Only thing is the HVAC I couldn’t for the life of me figure out how to take that apart

Got mine in about 2 days. Now just gotta find the time to put this altogether. AC and 9447s

Ive got manual hubs ill be putting on it and fortunately where i live in fl it doesnt see alot of flexing just mud and water .. plus im not to worried about replacing the cvs on it that have 209k miles on them Just trying to get this thing up off the tires some

For organization, don’t ask random questions in other people’s build threads. That being said, here’s what you’re looking for:

I think @micahfelker is 4.0 BS on that exact tire size. That being said, most people still go for 3.75 since it’s an easy enough spec to find on 16” or 15” rims. (8” wide with -19 mm offset).

3.75 Backspace is the magic number if you want guaranteed fitment for any tire larger than 31” tall. If it’s 31” or less, backspacing doesn’t matter much
