I haven't been caught by one yet, but they really do seem ridiculous. I would think fighting the ticket in court would be the best option. Oh, and a little off-topic: if you're worried about pollution, you're in the wrong hobby.

pathfinder color: blue
package: SE
year: 89
i'm also original.....

I'm not that political and just a dumb Canuck but wouldn't anyone be better than Dubya?

What exactly does "just a lift ~5" mean? Would that be a drop-frame lift or a UCA/t-bar lift?
I despise UCA lifts, so it would involve conversion to coil-overs differential and transfercase drop

I'm giving this poll until friday. Then I will make the decision on which way to go. Above all else, this shows that there is interest in a new product. Thanks to everyone who has voted so far....

mine has 178k (time for a timing belt), but may last one, which was stolen, had 230k

Poll started in "general forums"

I am SERIOUS about this; if I was to create a new suspension kit for pathys, which would you buy? Feel free to make more than one choice. Assuming it would be high quality....

Hats off to your ambition. I really like hearing of people willing to invest the time and energy to produce parts that make our trucks even more capable off road.
thanks. I love my pathfinder, but hate most of the aftermarket. I would be more than willing to go the solid axle route although I doubt I could come up with anything for R50s if I went that way (but I know precious little about them to begin with). Since this can't completly bankrupt me, I need to know which way would have more interest (straight axle/LT IFS). I think I might start a poll....

thanks for the encouragement vsicks and for the replies everyone. I will keep everyone interested posted on our progress and probably get my buddy to create a username as well. btw, he can create body panels from kevlar or carbon fiber, so we will have no problem there.

I would be extending both upper and lower contol arms. If nothing else, the vehicle will be mor stable due to a wider stance. example: http://www.chaosfab.com/n2.jpg
I'm not going to rip off their design, but it is the same basic idea.

PS Grimgreg and Sammy thanks alot for the input

I think that is BS, Calmini is crap.
oops, lets assume I never mentioned other brands; that was a bad idea. Back to our products. We would be building very functional, very high quality components. The torsions are the first thing that I would want to eliminate in a new kit and we would be using custom CVs. We are going to create a prototype front end on my pathy and if all goes as planned it should be up and running by spring time. A visual might pique someone's interest. Hopefully we can get a set of tube doors created for both WDs and R50s soon as a prototype. For the R50s though, I am going to need help from those familier with the vehicle as they are a unibody and I haven't dealt with those.....
Also we want to price the stuff kind of mid-range as the point of this is not to get rich but possibly finance part of my hobby and have fun.

Welcome!
Yeah, we gotta see pics!

mods, move this if its in the wrong spot. I'm thinking about starting a company building a long-travel IFS system for WDs and possibly R50s if the interest is there, but obviously I need to know if anyone would be interested in such a thing. It would be similar to a total chaos system, but available for pathfinders. A friend who would go in on the business with me is a skilled welder and is able to weld titanium/aluminum/steel. I have very little experience myself (I would do NO fabbing) but my friend is an aerospace engineering major and is quite knowledgable. I would be handling marketing/real life product testing. We would also create tube doors and internal cages probably. Obviously we would have to test some things out, so it would be a year until the first actual prototypes would be available, but the parts would be high-quality. Let me know what you guys think......

Hey everyone I just bought an 89 pathy and am relatively new to the vehicle. This forum looks like an awsome place to gain some knowledge and hang out with like minded people . I'm not entirely new to 4x4's; I own a full size bronco as well. On a side note, anyone live in the Seattle or Cle Elum area on here?
