    TOTM: THEMED MONTHS

     

    The idea was put forward by packie88 with then intention of getting people out in their pathys to get themed shots.

     

    It is only each alternate month that is themed, so you can post up whatever pic you want in the in between month (Some people will never see snow).

     

    It is a kind of rule, but a loose one. For example, water crossing nominations may be considered if there is a mud crossing, the truck is in water, or crossing the road in a torrential rainpour. If you post up a pic with no water in sight, then that will be removed.

     

    Below are the monthly themes:

     

    January Anything goes

    February Snow pic

    March Anything goes

    April Water crossing pic

    May Anything goes

    June Sand pic

    July Anything goes

    August Flex pic

    September Anything goes

    October Sunset pic

    November Anything goes

    December Mud pic

     

    This nomination thread is open through December 20 or until 20 submissions are reached (whichever comes first).

    Hey pathfinder enthusiast. I'm new here, and ready to do work on it.

    Welcome to NPORA! As far as putting larger tires on the stock wheels, there's one major limiting factor: the struts in the front. The lower spring perch overhangs the tires, so that limits tire diameter (unless you get wheel spacers or wheels with less backspacing; ~3.75" is the magic number). The biggest tire you'll be able to fit under the struts with stock wheels and no wheel spacers is 31". 255/70R17 is 31.1" according to The Great and Holy Google, so it should be the max you'll be able to stuff under there. Should require little/no trimming to ensure good fitment throughout suspension travel.

    Hey @95pathfinder101, sorry I didn't notice this earlier, but you are not eligible to enter in TotM yet, per rule #1 in post #1 of this thread (copied above). You'll need to have your account for 2 more months and make 93 more posts. Sorry, rules iz rules! After you've posted around for a while and gotten to know the community better hopefully you'll enter again! It's a nice rig you've got.

    Hardbody Body for RC Crawlers

    I forgot that Kyosho made that, that thing is sweet! I'd bet it's worth a bit of money now in the condition you have it. If anybody would make any Pathfinder body I'd be all over it, but I think a WD21 would probably sell best to the general RC enthusiast market.

    About time ProLine did something with Nissan! Too bad it's not a Pathy, but a D21 is pretty neat too. Probably gonna pick one up at some point, pretty inconvenient timing though since I just got an 85 Hilux body for mine. I know there's a few RC guys on here, so figured somebody may be interested in this.

    Welcome to NPORA! :welcome:

     

    If you haven't already, look into the strawberry milkshake of death (SMOD) issue. Basically, you'll want to bypass the factory trans cooler that's built into the radiator, and install an auxiliary one instead (unless a previous owner already did so). Otherwise should be a very reliable rig, have fun with it!
