Greetings everybody!
I'm new to the R50 but wrenching isn't new to me. I'm hoping to devote this thread to my mild build, hopefully ask a few questions and review a few products while in at it.
A quick introduction: I'm a twenty something year old tradesman from Littleton Colorado. Started wrenching out of necessity, and soon dove into custom fabrication. Worked a few years at a metal shop running a waterjet cnc and welding aluminum pans and frames for custom fire features. Just recently I started flipping houses with an old friend.
There's quite a few horses in my stable at the moment. I'm hanging onto a 1972 International 1010 eight Travellall. Bought the old beast about six years ago from a friend of the family and original owner. Hoping to get the old gal cherry before buddy kicks the bucket.
Few Subarus hangin around, 90, 91, and a 97. 01 Honda Civic in the midst of a motor rebuild.
Which leads me to the Pathfinder. I picked up this little fellow from an old friend for a whopping 1200 bucks in May of 2016. Originally intended for the girlfriend to drive, it somehow ended up my daily driver. No complaints here! It's just the right size to hold a days worth of tools and materials and jet all over town.
The goal is to get the Pathfinder sitting a little taller, running a little stronger, towing a little more, and capable of getting me and my pups to my favorite remote camping sites in the mountains. So here we go!
