  1. Take me there man! i'd be itching to hit that trail!
  2. That's very true, yeah i was suprised with how far my stock truck went, i went to a jeep event and went every the jeeps went except in the mud and i kept up with the jeeps, i didnt do one obstacle for that reason of because i knew i was going to fail it lol. I just bought these general grabber at's so it will be a while before i see myself getting new tires. i'm getting a ome lift next
  3. Majority of the off-roaders here drive jeeps >.>, i have no choice when i get stuck
  4. Yeah that's why i keep it off mostly because of that reason , i plan on getting a trailer hitch and rock sliders in the future. I mostly go with jeeps and they usually pull me out with a tow strap. The jack is for in the future when i go by myself
  5. Ditchfinda got my vote, looks nice and muddy
  6. Took measurements from the bottom of my tire to the beginning of my fender flare
  7. Looks nice and clean, yours is very similar to my r50, post some pics of the lift before and after! Great job so far with cleaning it, i should hire you to do mine
  8. And a pic of my cb radio setup, i connected it with a fuse into the fuse box. and grounded it to the frame of the body.
  9. Some pics with the jack on and more pics of the carrier for kyle
  10. Yes I plan on getting 1" fleurys spacers with lift coils, and yeah there was bolts already to the carrier, the previous owner said it was too much of a "hassle" to have the carrier which I don't understand at all... >.> takes two seconds to open it..
  11. Hello everyone, i’m finally deciding to make a build thread after so long of being on the forums. I have a 1999 Nissan pathfinder SE with 118k miles on it. This is my first truck and my very first off-roading rig. I plan to use the knowledge i gain from here and personal experiences to build my rig up to my standards and needs. Below are the current goals i have set or the current mods i want to be installed on my truck. Future mods: -2” lift with 1” Fleurys spacers(Currently deciding on old man emu springs or AC coils.) -Mile marker manual hubs(I have them just haven’t got aroun to installing them) -33” Mud-terrains all around -Gas can mount -Arb Bumper with winch -Custom fender flares( On the idea of the 2014 jeep flares) -Receiver hitch -Roof rack -Off-roading lights -Snorkel Mods installed -Tire carrier -Hi lift jack mount with jack -Cb radio+4”firestik antenna -Mirror mount for antenna -5 245 75 16 general grabber at2 My truck when i first bought it, there was alot of things mechanically wrong with it, but i guess it was just love at first sight . The truck had 115k miles but needed both cv axles front ball bearings new struts and it needed a flex pipe. Got all those fixed and was on my way to making the current mods i have now. Those were sadly the only pictures i took of the truck when i first bought it I then wanted to fill that empty space in the back, i got a good deal on a tire carrier off ebay and bought it, weeks later i got home from work and there was the ups guy delivering it , perfect timing. It was very rusty when it arrived so i re-primered and spray painting the carrier. It was my first time spray painting anything and i got to say i was not upset about the results at all, I then wanted to install a cb radio for when i went on convoys and went on off-roading trips, i had no idea what i was doing when wiring the thing or setting up the antenna , i got very big help from Npora CNAM he was very patient and helpful , before you knew i had it installed and working. I bought a mirror mount for the antenna and it did not fit over the carrier so i had to drill larger holes and modify it to fit, i finally got it to fit and tighten it snug and mounted the antenna up. I don’t have a picture of the cb radio set-up in my dash but i’m working on getting a photo of that I have one picture of currently how the tailside of my truck looks like, thats me on the left and my daughter sitting on the carrier, my hi lift jack was not mounted at the time as you can see the hi-lift mount on the back. I’m deciding on the lift i want to get, i want to hear personal experiences from all of you guys with old man emu coils and ac coils , What would be the best option for me on a budget friendly basis . How does it ride? and do they sag after awhile? And i heard of you needing backspacing with the ac coils i was wondering if i have that right amount of backspaccing with my stock lego wheels. Any information is more knowledge to me so please don’t hesitate to give me some information, like i said i’m new to this and this is my first truck/off-road vehicle. I’m always open to suggestions aswell !
  12. Fishing! i love fishing, what do you mainly go saltwalter or freshwater fishing? Welcome to the forums btw! Hope you enjoy your stay
  13. Welcome! Hope you enjoy your stay here .
  14. that basically looks like the same mount I purchased, I enlonged the holes just haven't tried to use bigger bolts, but yeah the middle part doesn't even fit around your tubing so maybe itd work for me if I tried bigger bolts.
  15. yeah that seems like a good idea, I'm going to try to buy longer bolts and try to mount it again if that doesn't work I'll try the one you suggested me , it looks like itd have a bigger opening for the tube, so hopefully thatd work for my carrier tube.
  16. Yeah I was thinking that, but I have no equipment or welding skills so that's out of the question, itd be easier if someone with a r50 did it the same way as I, I'm still open for suggestions though, I like the wd21 carrier more, ots more convenient with mounting stuff on it
  17. I tried doing that, the circular middle part doesn't fit around the tubing because it is too small, do u mind taking a picture of how it looks?, and for mine when o tried to fit it , it was not even the mount , 1 part was diagonal and then one part was kind of straight
  18. This is where i want to mount it , in this section
  19. Yeah on the r50 it doesn't even have those plates, its just tubing around it.
  20. I just have a question about mounting my antenna on the tire carrier of my r50, I kno I seen some people do it on previous CB threads and mostly wd21's , it seems like they have a little plate you can mount it on, I want to mount mines on the tubing of the carrier, has anyone ever done it before to their's? And if so could you inform me on how you did it and maybe link me to where you bought the specific piece? I bought a mirror mount but that doesn't fit at all, I even enlonged the holes still too small of an opening.
  21. Changed the old spare on my tire carrier, with a general grabber at2 tire
  22. Thank you brother, to you aswell
  23. Alright sounds good thanks alot ahardbody!
