no no, polo shirts arent a "bad" idea, they are just a bit misplaced in this thread heh. id wear a polo with just the logo or something embroidered small in the front. but they just arent meant to be silkscreened...which is the topic of this thread maybe for our next project we can do polo's

haha, if only what you said was possible. believe me, it came disassembled. and yes, with whatever bumper i had, i had to cut off the upper mounting tabs. where they were positioned (1) was about .5" too wide to fit inside the opening, and (2) even if i could get them inside the slots, there was no place to really get a solid mount. i honestly dont know that this bumper was for a pathy...considering all the crap i had to do to get it to fit....between having to add stuff and take stuff away...yeah, i doubt it was for the pathy..but it is now! and belive me...if it were as simple as taking it apart and everything supposed to be fitting together..i would have had the thing on the same day i got it. take it from a guy who has installed nitrous, done exhaust work, wired in 2 car alarm systems with aftermarket keyless entry, and 3 head units...it wasnt quite as easy as it sounds. but thanks for the help..im sure the correct bumper would have go on exactly as you say. p.s. if it was like 88's it would have worked. but if you notice how his upper mounting tabs are on the SIDES and face horizontal and use the bumper bolts..yeah..but mine dosent look like that. my upper tabs stuck IN towards the bumper. and no, they werent going in hahaa

ok, first things first. guys, i ran into some....semi-major computer problems today. for those of you who might know a little bit about laptops or LCD screens...my backlight on the screen died about 30 minutes ago. the only way i can see is if i skim a bright light across the screen and help illuminate the background i guess. so, here i am, barely able to see anything, with my desk lamp resting over my computer screen. but never to fear, untill i decide on getting the part fixed (thank god its just a module and not the entire screen). i can hook up a regular screen monitor and everything will work fine, since its not so much a problem with the computer as it is with the screen. so, i will have the computer back up and fully running next monday. i have a spare screen sitting at home (im at college now) and ill be going home this next weekend. on to some other stuff. ill play around with suggestions once im back up. but a quick couple things...as far as types of shirts. i think it would be nice to have both regular t's and long sleeve..thats not a problem, if you guys want pocket t's, we may have to shrink the front logo down or something for those. i dunno how many takers we will have for those...but you wont catch me on one hahaaa. polo shirts...really arent for silk screening. if we wanted to see about getting some polo's embroidered over the left chest or somethig with a simple logo...but i dont know that silkscreening and polo shirt should be used in the same sencance haha. well, later guys, hope im back in action soon!

nope, problem not resolved. im gonna have to custom make some extension brackets. the lower upright mounts wont reach to the truck mounting points. hopefully dad got his acetaline refilled, otherwise im gonna have to pay someone else to fab up some. 88 if you wouldent mind, could you snap some pictures of your mounting points pls? thanks!

i totally agree. not only does it say "find your own path" with letters...but nothing says "find your own path" like a Pathfinder tackling a ridge with its nose 6ft in the air! any comments on the new dark shirt design? like? yes, no, maybe? i think i have refined the light shirt design to where its gonna be if it gets adopted. but...here is the kicker...i need the high resolution image of jims pathy leaping through the air. if i dont, and we use this 72dpi image that i picked off the net..the image is gonna be crappy. the lettering is all fine, but the images i need hi res. if anyone has the hi res image or if jim could send me his origional...that would rock. oh, and has anyone been looking at printers? all the design work in the world isnt gonna help if we have nowhere to output to.

slick design there pezzy...me likey. hey mark, did you do the front in MS paint or PS or what? id REALLY like to have your design on a transparent background...but thats only if your using PS. let me know and you can email me the file. thanks!

dude, i like that for the front...but possibly do away with the color and make it white. but i really like where your going with the kinda sketchy patchy feel. the mountains look good...but maybe drop them down on the text a bit further...and i like the functional divider line

^^ahahaaa, there we go. "special model" i know its exactly what she ask NOT to happen, but the fact of the matter is that it just looks funky with everything flip flopped. i dunno what to tell her honestly. i can see where shes coming from, but i dont want to compromise design either...just wear your hair up when your sporting the NPORA t. and this design hasent even been formally adopted, so there are still other designs to toy with. i do wish the design for the dark shirts were better, im gonna try playing with it. instead of a stark white, i may go with a grey instead for the lighter areas (grey and blk) fast chop of new blk design? eh, maybe...i dunno

ok, i might have resolved my problem...but yes a cut off wheel/grinder will be taken to get rid of those pesky top mounting brackets! muahahaa

yeah, the front hasnt been refined, it was the first chop i did. i need to toy around with the mountains some more, and i do agree that the snow peaks thing would look pretty cool. all im using is PS dude, not anything real special. its just sorta a bish to actually DRAW things in ps...much easier to modify existing photographs (and iv tried that too for the mountains). but ill keep cracking away...not like we have to have these tomorrow

ok, in taking advice, here is the most recently updated shirt. no jumping PF, but i did bold up the NPORA a bit cuz it looked kinda wimpy.

ok, as you may can tell from my sig, i have a 91SE ok, here is my problem. i bought a push bar like "88" has. just the simple 2 upright and 2 tube design..no brush/headlight guard thingy. anywho, i go to put it on...and it dosent fit. i think i can see where the bottom of the bracket mounts to...but the upper brackets. i assume they go through the little slot in the OEM bumper correct? well, mine wont go in. the little "ears" on the mounting tab are about .5" too long. do i have to modify the bumper. if 88 or any of the rest of you have this bumper and have installed one please send pics of mounting locations or instructions or whatever. here is the one i got

see above post on design, back has been fissed

Maritime man great to hear that we will have your order. and 15 sounds about right. we bought ours for 15 shipped and i know we could get a good deal going and get the same price. mark, we are seeing eye to eye...we understand eachother. i never thought of red and green...but id definately be down for a dark jade green or something...that would look hot! hmm or even a red one...hell i might just get one of each kind hahaa. also, iv been pondering on the whole "its a Nissan thing..." and i never meant to really make a hurtfull jab at jeep owners...it was more of a "poking fun" type of deal. that was the reason that "I" put it in the design was just to have a little fun. some people may mean to degrade jeep owners...im really not..could care less really. just a play on words. and if you think about it..it makes a little more sense and fits our slogan a bit better. "find your own path...its a Nissan thing...you wouldent understand" versus "its a jeep thing...you wouldent understand" its kinda like "uh, wouldent understand what...what is there to understand?" i think it would be deragatory and instigational (is that even a word?) if i was like "...its a Nissan thing...jeep owners wouldent understand" then yeah, i could see people getting up in arms over that. anyways, this is just through one mans eyes..so i think im gonna start a poll and see how many people are for or against it. i personally like the touch, but its not MY shirt either. so lets vote away.

no no, we can have as many colors as we want. im just saying, you cant use the predominately dark logo and picture and all that on a DARK colored t shirt. that will only go with grey and white. if you go with a dark color, it will need the inverted pic i just posted up...with the predominately light logo and picture. no, we can and should have both light and dark styles to buy...i know ill be getting at least one of each. as far as colors, i figure white, lt grey, navy, and black would do pretty well. those are usually the typical colors that are used for club t's. but again, im not completely running the show here...so dont think im boxing yall in or making some sort of rules or whatever. yall were here before me..im just trying to help this along

here is a quick one i did with a black shirt. i just inverted everything. LMK what you guys think..im almost more partial to the white shirt design myself, but if we go with any dark colored shirts like navy or black..this is what it would more than likley have to look at. i think white and lt grey would do fine with the other design.

here is some stuff i threw together. on the front i like the mountains above the logo, but i cant get them to look right. i suck at drawing mountains hahaa. and remember guys, these are just my renderings and we dont have to use ANY of it, im just posting ideas like everyone else. EDIT: the back design has been fixed front (so far) back

wow, mark and jrvanas i love those pics! as for slogans, i was trying to incorporate the fact that pathfinders..although rugged are pretty classy vehicles. its why i chose mine instead of a regular old jeep. maybe something like "running trails with class...its a Pathfinder thing...you wouldent understand" or something like that. hmm, or possibly "kick'n hiney with class...its a Pathfinder thing...you wouldent understand." EDIT: and you all very well know i didnt intend for "hiney" to go on the shirt hahaa

i havent heard much about them on the use of pathys, but from hearing other vehicle owners testimony (more like rants) i say save your money and pay the extra for a good set. the flanges are often warped already from the factory. mounting points arent always correct, the paint or ceramics quickly wear off, then your stuck with rusty old pipes again, fitment is bad..need i go on?

well, after reading through the thread, i think there are a few things that need clearing up. there arent going to be "pictures" per se on the shirts. what i mean is...its not gonna be full color full background and everything. i asked for pictures because we need something to work off of to create a silhouete like the DSM TUNERS shirts, or one to tone back the colors and create body lines like the TEAM 2GNT shirts. 2nd, after checking with some people who did team shirts for another club im in, you have to have a minimum order number for EACH DESIGN. now, here is the problem. we have probably 30 people or so who are gonna buy shirts. but here are the proposed designs. (1) WD-21 2 door (2) WD-21 4-door (3) R50 (4) new Pathfinder. and its been suggested that we have some offroad, chassis twisting designs, and some on street designs. the problem here, is we are looking at 4-8 different designs here...with only about 30 takers. now not only is that going to take a long time to design, but in the small quantities that will be sold, im not sure we can get them printed. like i said earlier, most shops have a minumim of each style, and im afraid we have too many styles and too few buyers. im not trying to discourage anyones ideas, but it we have too many designs, then they arent gonna get made. we need to find some common ground. for example, my DSM's body style is a bit different than the one pictured on the 2GNT and DSM TUNERS shirts. and as far as the newest pathfinders, i dont really see anyone here that owns one, and i think it will be a while before the new pathy off road crowd gets here lol. just some things to chew over guys

haha dood, i LOVE that. just so you guys know, i havent forgotten yall. iv been swamped with school and have a butt-load of projects due next week. iv done some sketching, but nothing that im happy with. but then again, there is no time crunch here. ill try to get some renderings up asap. i advise you guys to do the same thing!

ok guys, here is what i need. i need pictures...good ones...of 2 and 4 dr wd21's, as well as r50's. sitting, flexing, jumping...whatever. some that might could be used on the shirt. dosent matter about color or dents or whatever, cuz they are gonna get traced and filled with black and white (for my design ideas anyways) so they are almost a sihouletted look...like the dsm tuners shirts.

heh, just so happens that i too have a 91 SE. its a little late now, but ill try and get your measurements tomorrow sometime.

ok, here are some examples of some of the ones iv seen done in the past. just to give a few ideas. ill try and get some sketches out in the next few days, and i ask that everyone do the same if they are able.

thanks much 88, this will help out a bunch. and can do all 3 types...NP. origionally posted by red-finder: "I think the design like on the home page with Jim's truck would look pretty cool " i think this would be a sweet idea for the front of the shirt. with the truck and text, and could even be used on the back on a larger scale either above or below the main large image.
