GrimGreg Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I missed it... Can someone who recorded it please put it on youtube or something so I can see it? You didn't miss anything. They talked about how messed up the engine was and how to rebuild it, only to say towards the end that they were swapping in a new one. A 5 second product plug for Crapmini since they are regearing the T-case. Then the "camera crew" breifly explained their gear locker they are going to build in the back cargo area. If they do anything truely inovative with the build, I'll be shocked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5523Pathfinder Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Hey everyone, its been a while since I last posted anything on this forum, mainly 'cause my pathy was hit and I decided to take the money and run... Anyway, I thought I would comment on the Extreme 4x4 project appropriatley coined by the camera man "The View Finder" or something of that nature. I'm kinda offended though that they are making this a chase vehicle rather than a full on 4x4. However, they are just getting started and in this episode they've all ready equiped it with some nice goodies like calmini gears in the t-case and a kevlar clutch complimented with a re-manufactured long block (if memory serves me). It makes me happy that this truck finally gets some mainstream publicity that it so rightfully deserves . Happy Trails It too bad they stayed pretty general about the VG engine, or nissan for that matter. It was all pretty generic to me. Hopefully it will bet better and highlight some of the great aspects of our vehicles. I can hear the announcer now.......... "Tune in next week to see what happens! Same bat time! Same bat channel!"

jitterymonkey Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) O.K. Now I'm gettin' pissed 3 weeks of that stupid TJ build and no Pathfinder project. I sent them a polite e-mail at..... info@xtreme4x4tv.com Asking when it would return. Also mentioned that just because it's a chase truck doesn't mean it shouldn't be Xtreme. and think if they received a lot more on the Pathy They might not forget about it.

5523Pathfinder Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) Just thought I would revive this thread as the show has brought the "Viewfinder" back. I watched it today and they put on a front bumper, removed the IFS and made new rear axle links. They also showed the measurements for the portal axles they will be putting under it. Should be on tomorrow, on Spike. Edited June 29, 2008 by 5523Pathfinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Yep I watched it too, looks to be a good truck when done, but I wish they would have done something with the engine other than just replacing it with a rebuild unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver97ex Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I was so happy to see it finally come back. Hopefully they will work on it again next week and not take half a year again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexrex20 Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 i watched it also... if only i was as good of a welder as the show makes the host seem to be , i would have some nice pretty rear control arms like they ones he fab'd up today! i'll be tuning in next week to see if they include the truck again.

5523Pathfinder Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 (edited) I was just changing my recording settings and I looked ahead to next weeks episode of Extreme.

nunya Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 good to see they are in a hurry for it... if it was a Heep, Toyota, or some retarded bling-bling Silverado with Thornbirds and trucknuts it would have been done in 2 back to back episodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5523Pathfinder Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 I was doing some searching and found out the portal axles were not going to work very well. Sounds like a Dana in the front and a Chrysler axle in the back. I will still watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5523Pathfinder Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 They say you can watch full episodes on Powerblocktv.com. I know the last build was in 2008. Search Nissan crew rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a Dana in the front and a Chrysler axle in the back. I will still watch. Yeah, they were getting them fully custom made. From what I heard they were going to basically be Hummer reduction (portal) boxes slapped on the ends of a narrowed D60, guess that didn't work out so well.

crazyhayseed Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I think there might be a WD21 hiding behind all these douche bags. I'm so glad I don't have cable. Please let be know when Powerblock gets Danica Patrick back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverPath Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Didn't they already do a budget Cherokee build before? I thought they built up a blue one using cheap duplicolor premix paint. Ohwelll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
