JesseLivingston Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Hi, my name's Jesse and I have been a Pathfinder owner since 2002. I bought my first truck a Black 89 SE which took everything I threw at it for seven years before finally dying. That truck defined a apart of my life and became a lifestyle in itself. Thousands of kilometers offroad, dents, scratches, broken shocks... The engine blew on me and sat for a few months until I got the courage to change it out. I found a used one from a wrecker for $150 and with the help of my neighbors tractor the old engine came out and the new one went in. All of this done with a socket set my mom bought me for my 16th! The new engine was short lived for 6 months later the transmission went and I did not have the time to tackle that one. In the end it was towed away by a local wrecker after being stripped of all valuables. A very sad day. Now I own a Red 93 XE with lots of parts from my old truck. Shocks, Coils, upper control arms, etc... I installed a 3" body lift and gave it a low budget 2" suspension lift. All made room for the 33x12.5 BFG's (next time will be 11.5). I have done 100% of the work myself with a Chiltons and Hanes manual. Very happy with the new truck, looks awesome, but it doesn't seem as tough as my 2door 89...
