ahardb0dy Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I missed the show guess it's on a little earlier over here but I recorded one on the dvr, soon as my grand daughter leaves I may have a chance to watch it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldSlowReliable Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Use it to get to the trail? Y r they sasing it then....I hate that they don't give the pathy credit....and put a body lift on it and some tires and wheels and tires for wheeling In a part of their writing about it, they claim it will be seeing a fair bit of rock crawling.. perhaps its going to be more of a performer than a stage hand? only time will tell!

Tungsten Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 That was lame. I really don't give a crap about the 135243523152 jeep builds. That is why I have a path. It is not a cookie cutter vehicle. a jeep used to be a military vehicle, it had to be cookie cutter the new jeep isn't any different from a regular suv although it is still more capable than most crossovers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Look at it this way, the Viewfinder will go to every trail, haul stuff and transport people. Maybe they will talk about it more out on the trail. At least they chose a reliable vehicle to go out to the trails everytime! Not a one off fancy Extreme 4x4 that will only see the trail once. Think about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94 Pathy Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 It's a neat episode. They ended up putting a Dana 44 in the front with CALMINI SAS kit, I believe it was a Chevy or Chrysler rearend. I believe they are getting ready to do a few more things to it. I emailed them a few years back to see if they could do a Pathy project. Ideas for all of us. Would be kinda neat if they would go a little extreme & do a small block 350 or 302 swap. I'm planning on buying all the episodes for the Pathy. Would be neat to have for my Off-roading dvd collection. Would be nice to get our Pathy's noticed more. Maybe more companies would be willing to produce more after market products. Keeping my fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Why change they the rear end? The H233b is almost as good as a 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XSrcing Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Why change they the rear end? The H233b is almost as good as a 44. Most likely so they could outfit it with sponsor's parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dowser Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 perhaps because ring and pinion, lockers, chromoly axles, etc are cheaper for those more common axles. Perhaps the Dana they swapped in the front was a 5 bolt and instead of swapping knuckles like some do they just swapped whole rear ends. I'm thinking it was a combination of a lot of reasons but definitely sponsor parts going on for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Nice how they explained why they changed axles.....then poof it is done. It would have been nice if they even spent 2 minutes talking about how they made those axles actually attach to the Pathfinder, and how they ran the steering linkage etc. etc., but they didn't care about it, they just wanted to say it was finished so people wouldn't ask about it anymore.

95responder Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 so basically what happened extreme 4x4 tried to be original then was paid off by jeep and hummer to hide the strength of these bad#ss nissan trucks, so what people have always been sheep. just laugh and keep howling at the moon. they just give us more trophy wives and dum ars husbands to tow while weare out enjoying rigs that are capable and fuel efficient.

I thought they said a the end, with the Pathfinder, that they were going to address steering and a few other issues in a future episode? Maybe I wrong. I would of liked to see how they adapted the rear axle to the Pathfinder rear suspension. Edited January 31, 2011 by 5523Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehuntersam Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Big stuff is the hb233, little stuff is the dana 44 aka M216.. hb233 much better than the d44 in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balln Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Sorry for bringing up a old thread but what happended to this pathy? I came across this pathy when my tv recorded it and it was the last episode. To me they put way to big of tires on it and it didnt even look functional (fenders sitting on the tires). Not sure how long ago this episode was shot but just wondering where its at now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Rather an old one brought back than a new one on the same thing Proably got lost in the sea of "budget built" complete ground up tube buggys or throw-stacks-of-money-at-it-TJs and JKs...

nismothunder Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Dont know but there camera truck is a xj (covered in Crawl magazine) so I guess they thought it was better to have a unibody truck then a real truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balln Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I have searched and searched for episode vids but nothing. Nothing on youtube either. kinda sucks and there really isnt any pics of it done.

94 Pathy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 (edited) I'm REALLY thinking about having someone convert a rear axle over for a front axle for a SAS. If they are that strong, why not? I understand the cost of cutting & fabricating to work for the front, but can be done. Wouldn't you think, if you can find some shop wanting to get their name out in the market, would be willing to try something like this for cheap & have people promote them? Might have a money maker if you hit the salvage yards & pick them up for cheap & begin building....If I could weld & knew what I was doing, I'd do it myself. Hmmmmm, time to take a welding class...

Heloflyboy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Check Steven at Rugged Rocks, he just had a front axle designed to take 233b 3rd member. He is working on getting it under his pathfinder now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
