I wanna see pics! I've never seen a pathy with crank windows and no A/C!
-
My 1991 has 125,000, But I'm thinking it was unhooked. because it's not in the best of shape over all.
You never know, I've seen some real beat low mileage pathfinders.

If you have a hard time sourcing the Legos for a reasonable price, black steelies are a good fall back for off road tires and cheap as well. I had 5 delivered to my door for $212 from Summit.
Makes for a much smaller money tree...
Good.
Yeah, that's always the case for 99% of us...
That is one of the cheapest, most inexcusable thing Nissan did with the Pathfinders. Any Pathy with an external carrier should have come with a full sized, matching tire and rim, no if's and's or butts!

We'll see.
Dad and I keep leaning back and forth between legos and steel wheels.
Legos are about 30 a piece at the local jyard when they have them.

Just bumping this to the top.
Has anyone actually tried to recalibrate for larger tires since this was posted?
-
That make me chuckle when we first looked at it.
Next month we're think five lego wheels with off road tires.
-
Nothing wrong with having 2 sets of rims/tires, that way you get the best of both worlds...

My dad's already on board for it!
Now to find that money tree....

James,
The tires it came with were old and cracked, but in the back were four new Achilles street tires.
Not the greatest tires, but hey, they're new!
Next month we're hoping to get some off road tires.

I like those old Sunbeam toasters.

At least with my Hi-lift brand jack, I had to play with it to figure it out.
IIRC at least one pin needs to be locked in. Pull the jack handle all the way down, then engage the lever that allows the jack to lower very carefully.
I'd try this without a load. It's been a while since I used my jack and I don't remember 100%. I just know there's a way to lower it without dropping it.

1993 SE auto with 173k.
New engine and trans at 120k.

Mike Kojima built that! He builds import race cars for a living. He's on my Facebook. Super cool guy. I believe that was his personal vehicle.
It may have been. We bought it from somebody else at Motoiq. Essentially unchanged.
Idles like a muscle car, drives like an ordinary pathy till you step on it. It's not super fast, but significantly faster than stock. From what I was told (and experience driving it) the engine was built to be torquie for towing. It certainly climbs hills better than stock and the Nismo swaybars along with the Rancho shocks make turns real easy.
Pics tomorrow.
It has some options I haven't encountered very often on a '93 WD21 SE such as:
Maplights at the rear view mirror
Auto A/C (last one had it too)
Lighting at the feet
Factory three CD changer (and a factory cassette deck)
Four wheel disk with ABS
Then the usual
Tire rack
Power windows, doors, steering, brakes
Tilt column
Cruise
etc.

Year of the Wagoneer would be helpful.

For the record, they eventually sold this rig.
My dad (boothill2008) bought this rig today.
Top notch.

Came from a state where you can't pump your own and gas and never paid any attention?

I drove mine around the yard once or twice with the door off (while doing the hinge pins), and I can see the appeal. Kind of an open-air thing. I don't think I'd be comfortable with it at 60 though!
That's when it's the best! I used to cruise on the freeway topless and doorless.
But I did drop a coke on the freeway when I tried to rest my arm on the non existent door once...
-
I never go mudding, and I rarely put my doors on. I do it for looks, the open air feeling, and visibility.
If I don't take them off, I can't see my rocker panels. I made the mistake of going with doors in Johnson Valley, and ended up beating my rocket panel on the driver side to a pulp.
-
That's nice, but I get the feeling it would have some trouble moving.
-
That's a course? That's the kinda crap I drive through on my way to the trails, and I've seen minivans on roads like that!
-
Good choice. Mazda's are nice.
Especially the Speed3, fun to drive. Too bad they're front wheel drive.
-
Can anyone tell me whats involved in changing over from autolock hubs to manual locking hubs, is this something i can do at home? Also where can i get information on how to do this conversion on my 91 Pathfinder.
Thanks

Have you tried searching at all? I've seen a few threads about how to do this before.

Watch the video Bushnut posted.
A 4 wheel drive has power sent to the front and rear wheels. Each axle has a differential which splits power, typically to the wheel with less resistance. I'm assuming you had one or two wheels free spin in the mud, with the other wheels sit still. This is what happens normally.
As Bushnut said, there is more to wheeling that shifting it into gear and gassing it.
To solve the issue you have, you will need to add locking differentials, spools, or limited slip differentials. Search here or elsewhere for the rundown on what's what. With differential modification, everyone has an opinion of what's better. The fact is, it's a matter of what works for you.

Yes I thought about a cooler with a fan too but I am not sure there is clearance for the fan between the cooler and the grille. Another thing I would have to be most careful about with the fan is remembering to turn it off should I be going through any water. Be a bugger to have the blades go through the core.
Good point! On my next rig I might try to relocate the cooler so I can use a fan.
I overheated my last one too many times. The cooler I could fit with the bigger radiator wasn't enough to keep it cool on steep mountain roads. I'm sure you'll have way better luck, you know way more than I did then.

Dang.
I was hoping it was the FSJ.
