Sorry Slick. Just messin around. I'm sure there's a few folks on here with long hair. Male and female. I was just in a kooky mood that day...

I'm all for the grayscaled image on the black (as above) and the high-contrast on the white. I still like the idea of offering grey, red green and navy tees as well. I'll take the URL either way... Sorry I can't help with the screening at this end. It'd double the cost per tee to get them printed in Oz and shipped everywhere else. They probably need to be screened in the US or Canada. DSM, If I can help any more, let me know. I have a prog which is good at converting file-types for images. It has it's limitations but it's pretty good. Cheers,

I'm with you. Pocket tees are gonna be a problem 'cause they require a different design on the front. Polo shirts was always a dumb idea (mine-sorry).

It's Mr Jim's 'etch-a-sketch' truck. *lol* But I like the other pic better. 88's pics above would be awesome but I reckon it's more appropriate to use Jim's truck. Hey DSM, Dude I just did it in MS Paint. (The sketchy 'artistic' font was actually an accident but I loved the way it looked ) If you want it, I'll email you the file, as a bitmap or a jpeg. Whichever. Just PM me your email address. BTW, I love the new grey-on-black design. Everyone seems to have a different take on the type of tee shirts we use. Maybe we should set up a poll and ask people to vote on their fave. It means we'd all have to accept the majority rule, though. #1 Regular tee #2 Pocket tee #3 Polo Shirt #4 Long-sleeve tee If there's a complete failure to agree ( :gossip: -argue- :gossip: ), I'd propose we have the 'back' and 'front' logos printed as iron-on transfers . Then everyone could buy a couple of each and put them on their own favorite shirts and stuff. Besides, iron-on transfers would be considered retro and cool at the mo'. PS: Don't look at me to line up a printer. I live on the wrong continent for most of yall. Cheers :type:

Is this the longest thread on this forum, yet? Once it is, then we'll know we've got a good T-shirt. (Can you tell I'm a government employee).

Like this? Hmmmm. Yup. It does look better. Also It would go well on other color tees.

DSM Guy, Yeah, grey might be better on the black shirts. <EDIT> The pic above is really good <EDIT> From her last post, I think Slick likes the direction you're takin just fine. (I just couldn't resist a stab at humor). As per my earlier post (a couple above this one), here's a suggestion for the front logo. It's pretty close to your design. (Just imagine it's resized for the shirt).

I was reading this earlier post and had an idea. A long-hair-friendly version... (Sorry Slick, just foolin' around )

Dude, that's awesome for the back. Looks perfect. NPORA lettering, too. I'm thinking about a subdued red (not an eye-scorcher) and the same green as service-issue tees. (Fruit Of The Looms). I got a Colorado tee that color and it's my favorite tee. I actually like the "It's a Nissan thing...You Wouldn't Understand" slogan but two slogans on one shirt is too much. There needs to be only one and I reckon "Find Your Own Path" is a better slogan. I'm only against slogans that effectively say "My Pathfinder is golden and your Jeep is a POS" because I'm sure I'm not the only guy here who occasionally goes wheeling with Jeepers. (Actually, I admit it. I like Jeeps, but not as much as the mighty Pathfinders). My point is, though, when I need a hand with a recovery, I don't want to be wearing a tee that says to the other guy "your vehicle sucks". Maybe I'm crazy but I'm not that crazy... I'll repost shortly with a simple 'mountains' idea for the front.

Cool. Read the first post.

You're right about the white on dark. I'm just sayin' lets have some options. I'd suggest a dark logo on white, grey and red tees. And a white logo on navy, green and black tees. Or something similar. Cheers,

Why can't we have both? Is the printer going to charge extra or something? I prefer the design on the white shirt, but I don't want a white shirt. Can't we have a couple colors? If not, put me down for grey.

Unfortunately, your contact at ARBUSA is mistaken. The snorkel that Safari makes (the one in the link above) is specifically designed for the D22 Navara. (This is the Aussie version of the Frontier). They also sell the same unit for the Xterra and with some messing about, it fits the Xterra okay. It does NOT fit the Pathfinder, though. Some members of my local club have physically tried it. Firstly the angle of the pillar is too different from the Navara, secondly, the fender is a different shape and, thirdly, the radio aeriel on a Pathy is in the way of this snorkel. I've seen a pic of a late model R50 Pathy (badged as a Terrano) in New Zealand with a snorkel but it was an ex-Japan car and I'm told that they're structurally different. Besides, it was a pretty poor fit.

Crawl under the rear bumper of your rig and take a look at the diff. If there's an orange sticker on your rear diff that says "use LSD oil only", there's your answer. No sticker, open diff. Now, weight? Can't tell you off the top of my head. Anybody else?

DSM Guy, SOLD. I really like the second one. I'll buy one. :cool2: And I think your mountains look fine in the frontal design. I love the "find your own path" slogan Also it's cool that it's Mr Jim's truck in the pic. It should be. I want to be perfectly clear on one point, though. Slick and others are right. It would be foolish to have a shirt that sticks it to Jeeps. Murphy's Law says that you'd be wearing that shirt when you got stuck bad and the only help around was a club of guys passing by in Wranglers or Cherokees. :o With cameras.

Okay. Listening to suggestions above. Is this a bit better? Still just ideas. I like this pic cuz it's a bit twisty-looking, it'll transfer to T-shirt well and it's Mr Jim's truck, which seems appropriate. There's two banners in this pic cuz I can't decide which is the better one, so they're both here for you guys to see. I'm also really keen on having WWW.NISSANPATHFINDERS.COM and Find your own Path... in the final design Cheers,

I think Madhatter's right. The WD-21, especially the 2-door, is the most distinctive Pathfinder. Nothing else looks anything like it. I'm personally an R50 guy, but it wouldn't be distictive enough. It needs to be recognizable at a glance. Also, DSM Guy's right about how it should be a stylised design, not a photo. A photo would look all wrong on a T shirt anyway. So, with some inspiration from everyone above, especially DSM Guy, and a $hit-hot slogan suggested by inqydesu above in this thread, here's some suggestions: Or shown on green (red, blue, white, yellow, grey etc. would also be possible.) My suggestion would be to offer a shirt with either: 1) Small logo on left breast. 2) Small logo on left breast and larger logo on center of back. I'd also suggest we use a plain, regular T shirt. A decent printer should offer us a variety of sizes from S to XXL and three or four color options. Now the printer shouldn't charge much, if any, extra for a couple of basic color options as they pay pretty much the same, wholesale, for the shirts regardless of color. Let's see more designs... Hope you all like 'em. Cheers,

If you add the YJM bumper and a winch, it may be worth thinking about upgrading the front shocks/springs to cope with the extra weight and the fact that it's carried further forward. Or not. Up to you.

A few years use, will do that, sometimes. The springs get more wear on that side. There's always someone in the driver's seat, yeah?

Trailsin 26, Dude, your avatar is HUGE. You need to resize it below 10K. Reckon you'll enjoy the OMEs, though. They're a good bit o' gear.

Pump's in the tank. There's a filter in the tank. Another filter under the hood. NOBODY ever replaces the one in the tank. Pulling the tank is a PITA. The one under the hood's your main defense.

I used to have 265/70/15 on my '96 Pathy and went even bigger to 31" x 10.5" R15 and still have no rubbing. Depends on your suspension and wheels, too.

Bout 19 Kilometers per gallon. City driving. No reliability issues.

Fefe, Did you get your system installed? Are you happy with it? BTW: Since you asked, my system's APA - An Australian company.

I have Bilstiens on my '96. They're really awesome. Cheers,
