I am deflated at the moment,running up against some issues with my 99.these photos are inspiring...thanks!
The GF and I spent a three day weekend in the Southwestern region of Colorado. From our home in Pueblo West we took I'25 to Walsenburg, and then 160 all the way to Durango. First time to Durango and using that highway, such a beautiful area and Wolf Creek Pass area was awesome!
Our main destination was Durango, so we stayed at the Rochester Hotel/Leland House. Saturday we took the railroad out to a more remote location for an all day ziplining trip with "Soaring" tree top adventures. YES!!
On Sunday we started with a short mtn bike ride in Durango, and then headed North on 550 to Silverton. From there we did some passes and mining roads. I took a few pics of places we went. It was an awesome time and I am excited to hit some more stuff in that area.

Welcome from a fellow newbie!!

I so appreciate the advice EXBRIT,and i am going to take it and get the lift sorted....no,the Pathfinder is not in mint condition,but i do fancy a set of sliders....still budgeting for tires too!
So is it you that has the radiator fans? I like that idea,esecially given the heat/dust/temperatures out here....also,do you keep a spare that is the same as the 4 tires on your rig,or a donut? Please forgive my dumb questions,but i am mildly obsessed with getting some work done on my Pathfinder!
Also,is it necessary to get different shocks for front and back?
-
Well i made some fantastically witty and incisive comments last night,about all manner of worldly things,and yet i sit here today and see that they all got scrubbed and are now out in the ether somewhere!!
Ha,only joking.....thanks again.definitely going to do sliders,upgrade to 31" tires,front shocks,a couple of new lights on the front......
-
Thank you all very much for the info......there are so many options on everything that it is dizzying.i like the idea about getting sliders,as i have watched some videos of people out on the trails and those things get called into action!i have a newer radiator,and i did know about the 2" lift.Not going to budget for a subframe drop yet.:-) i have also read that some people like to keep their CV boots on as it protects against dirt,yet still other folks who have them removed!i think that i will inspect mine,and depending on if they need replacing i will leave them on.....yes,tires and lights,very practical.as for the tires,it seems like one can pore over which ones to get and then really not know if they are truly the 'right' ones until you are riding on them.......
Dd you guys purchase sliders or do custom fabs?
Thanks to Rick13,theexbrit and Stinka.you have made me feel welcome,and i will post pictures of what i do and have done!
I watch as much EPL as i can.i am an Aston Villa fan,so usually end up disappointed,even though we scored a nice win vs. swansea this past weekend......

Yes i think i have become Yankified too! Really like living here,even though the political claptrap is reaching a boiling point,and it is insanely hot in Phoenix....i have only been to Croydon once,and i do not rcall why,but have been in and out of Gatwick a few times....i hear the same thing about England,that we are too soft on Illegal immigrants and all that......i have been back about 7 or 8 times since 1994, .....so you are out in the O.C. As it is sometimes referred to,eh? Loving it are you?? It is awfully pretty in coastal California,i was just up in La Jolla a couple of weeks back,hard to stay out of the ocean!I wouldn't say living in Arizona is a "dream"
:laugh: :laugh: 
Just kidding!!! AZ is a pretty cool place, I love the desert. 
I'm from a small village near Croydon, Surrey, originally. Lived there for 30 years before moving to California 22 years ago. I was going to Canada (I'm a Canadian citizen) but I met my wife & decided to "slum it" in the sun
My brother lived in Folkestone until about a year ago, he retired to Valencia, Spain. He used to tell me horror stories about all the Somali, East European & Russian "refugees", all the crime & how England is going to hell in a hand-basket
I don't think I could ever move back to England, I'm totally "Yankenised" now & love it here in the states. Got my citizenship & I'm very grateful to be able to live here. 
Any tips you have for me,i. Terms of getti g my 1999 pathfinder up for the challenges ,let me know! Best to you!

Yes,the west coast is beautiful,stinka,and i believe there would be no shortage of mud,creeks,trails,rivers and hills to traverse!You lucky man. How the hell does anyone get to leave this hell hole for a dream life in AZ ??
It's my dream to live on the west coast of the USA
I have been here since 1994,which means i have endured 18 Arizona summers,which are laughably hot and brutal....have been having pangs to go back to live in Europe with the wife and kids,but not England......not in a bitter,snarky way.I love my cou try,but i am all for trying new things i suppose,hence me wanting to get geared up and go out in my pathfinder with some AZ locals!

Hello from Arizona!
I own a 1999 Nissan Pathfinder,and i am looking for some sage advice about upgrading from stock so that i can enjoy a few of thes beautiful trails here!
I know that it can manage some trails right now,but chronologically,what things should i start to add first that are essentials,and what things are added but not necesarily essential? I will be driving it every day,and i am not looking to be wheeling in the most technical of areas,but after doing research it seems like i need : skid plate,roof rack (rather keep my spare above than below,where it is now) Diff Lockers,lights,maybe a lift,maybe not,maybe bigger wheels,but i want to keep it fairly streamilined like some of the rigs on here.I know there is a wealth of information on here,and when i am up and ready i would love to go out with a couple of you guys and gals! I am a married dad of 2 so i do not feel the need to impress or show off,but it really looks like fun to be out on some of these trails,plus i LOVE MY PATHFINDER!! ...Cheers
