  1. Awesome. Im guessing all you would need to do is put a gradual bend from front of the plate to back angling the plate back up to use the trans crossmember brackets. Either way, im sure you could make it work without loosing much clearance. Let me get some extra spending cash together and ill be in touch.

  2. If you sell it, you will regret it. All the headaches will turn into missed memories, of how you built a rig with average capability up to hang with the big boys... and in some cases, embarrass them when they cant keep up. I miss my X like crazy and i originally sold it to eventually get a Rubicon. The Pathy represents a certain level of achievement. Keep her as your overlander and put 37s on the jk!

  3. I did the same research for a front bumper still in the works. After looking at the 3 options (ARB, TJM and KMA http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/scratchheadyellow.gif ) I chose to use something similar to the TJM mounting approach, since it seems the simplest and cleanest.

     

    Here is a view of the bumper. The measurements are only aproximate, taken as well as I could without actually removing the front bumper:

    Here is a closeup of the mounts:

    I know this is a long shot, but does anyone have a cad file for these mounts or something similar?

  4. Heeps are nice rigs, a little too small inside for me, but they are very capable stock. Just be mindful of cheap parts. Check out Mainline Overland's White Rubicon! Theres and awesome build thread of it on ExpoPortal. I personally love the steel mopar wheels they went with along with the AEV tirecarrier and spare fuel tank! Good luck with the new build!

  5. Before I open this up, I would like to give a special "thank you" to Hawairish, CDNS4, and Rick13 for all of the help and guidance they have given me in such a short period of time!

     

    I'm looking for some help on this fellas, and ladies (I know there's at least one on this forum) :). I am trying to get my SFD setup squared away for a run I have on the 19th of March and I'm looking for a complete list of hardware to perform the swap. The kit is basically a remaid 4" KrFab kit. I can figure out the panhard bracket, but I need all subframe hardware and rear WJ coil mount hardware. I know I'm asking a lot here, but I'm down to the wire on this and I would really like to test it at Rausch Creek Off Road Park in PA on the 19th.

     

    Any assistance is greatly appreciated!!!! Help me get Roxanne ready!!!

     

    Thanks again!!!

  6. Installed hood louvers over the weekend. Due to the wet moderate climate that I live in, I decided to place the louvers off to the sides where no electrical components were getting rained on. I also didn't cut the entire surface area out, rather drilled vent holes in spots that don't expose sensitive parts.

  7. Interesing project. My question is, why not weld them in? You would no longer need a spacer or collar, and there would be no side load issues. It seems like that would have been easier. Great job none the less.

     

    Also, have you figured out why it cant work in the 00-04 r50s? I dont see the complication if it was welded.
