Hey all ive been on this sight for a while just havnt introduced myself
Im in Melbourne my story is about 6/7 months ago i had no intrest in 4x4s i had a little car which blew up on me lol
so anyway i went to this car yard and was looking at a panell van but when i got there it wasrusted out and i just said no! i dont want it but......sitting next to it was this big red 1988 pathfinder (it looked big at the time) so my girlfriend said should take that for a spin so took it for spin and brought it!
it was noisy but after getting it roadworthy new rear shocks a new battery and alternater it went perfect so ever since then my obsession for off roading has been growing ive been out four times now each time has been a learning experience and each time im pushing it and going a little more harder than before and thats my story and i love my pathy it is a bit slow being a 4 cylinder but i can say ive been up some steep slopes and it dosnt seem to worry it besides tyres,the ones on it are all terrains which do the job but when you start getting into thick clay mud they tend to clog up.........but thats on my wish list bigger tyres a 3 inch lift some more recovery gear ive got narva spotties id rather light force but dont have that sort money at the moment uniden uhf radio and have just brought a whole lot of bits n pieces i recently installed a saber water temp gauge i want to get it serviced and get a few other small things done just because i dont know the history of it but yeah it runs fine and ive drivin it alot!
Being in Melbourne ive only seen 2 other pathfinders the same as mine i dont really get into the pathy vs toyota or whatever i just get a rush goin off road and i love the forrest parks around melbourne they seem to have evrything from easy to hardcore.
would love to meet other 4x4 drivers in melbourne as i dont know anyone i tend to go out driving with just a mate and no other cars so i dont take to many risks as im limited to recovery options lol
