HitTheTrails Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hi everyone, Just thought I'd post q quick note in this section. I got my Pathfinder last November and have been looking at this forum since before that time but I finally signed up this week. I bought a 1996 Pathfinder Klondike edition with Automatic transmission. It is maroon with grey leather (aftermarket) interior. I bought it off the original owner and it is in very good shape. The first thing I did was put 30" Goodyear Wrangler MTR tires on it (I had them from my old S10 Blazer that I sold) and load it up with tools and recovery gear, and I went over it top to bottom to make sure everything was in order. I have now just ordered up the OME coils, KYB GR2 struts and OME shocks and am waiting for them in the mail! I'm looking into sliders and skids as well as getting manual hubs. I really like this truck and am very happy with it. I will post some pics soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MellowYellow Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Hey MellowYellow, you live a long way away from your folks!Surrey is a suburb of Vancouver, so it's in the south-west corner of BC! Yes I sure do. I am originally from Cali and moved out this way a year ago. I sure miss California off roading but who knows I may move back some day. My step Mum as you say is Canadian so they decided to retire up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to join us on any little trail runs I post under the Western Canada section, next one is this Sunday. Thanks man, I'm up in Fort St. John till the Labour Day long weekend, but I'll be around and wanting to go on some trail runs after that. I'll be checking the Western Canada section! Pezzy, thanks for the info, and nice truck and pics! Do you have both sway bars removed? Edited August 15, 2007 by HitTheTrails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 Pezzy, thanks for the info, and nice truck and pics! Do you have both sway bars removed? Nope, I have both of them on the truck still... never really saw the need to remove them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trainman Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Welcome as well. And I also recommend the Black Panther skids, and they are Canadian so you save on some shipping/duty costs (plus they seem to be way better than what else is out there). I have heard there are some good trails in the Chilliwack area (ie Veder Mt.). And check out this site for some local general off-road info: 4x4 BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems everybody agrees that the BP skids are really good! There are many good trails out in the valley (Chilliwack/Mission etc.), I've ran some of them in my old S10. I'm a member on bc4x4 already, it's a very usefull site for local 4x4ing info, unfortunately they don't have many Pathfinder specific discussions but that's why I'm on this board too!

ILoveMyPatty Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Welcome. Looks like we're getting just about enough Pathy owners in BC to get a meet together. Let me get mine back on the trails first though! Enjoy the forums! Kamloops here, btw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlMac Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'm always into a Pathy meet! New Westminster(Vancouver area) here! there's nothin better than earning some battle scars with a few pathy owners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILoveMyPatty Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Definitely sounds like we should get a meet together sometime. I'll be living in Chilliwack for a bit it sounds like, doing my Paramedic course at the Justice Institute. It's either Chilliwack or Kelowna...
