ditchdiggerjcf Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 judging by the traffic in this forum I assume the 05 and up pathfinders are not big sellers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alkorahil Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Just not popular off road vehicles..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180sx Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Just not put out there as an off road vehicle. I wonder why Calmini wasted their time making a 5' lift for them when nobody really asked for it. yet, theres tons of people who want something for their R50's and they give us a blind eye!

Alkorahil Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 (edited) maybe they feel the unibody chassis is not up to the stress of a lift Possibly. I know many people with R51s that have lifts. They seem to work just fine. Edited December 28, 2009 by Alkorahil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esuddenwake Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I believe as the time goes the popularity of lifting the 05 and up will grow. Plus most places like les schwab say they cant lift them cause nobody has lifts for them and they don't buy from calmini or AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wdRequired Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 maybe they feel the unibody chassis is not up to the stress of a lift I don't want to start off here issuing corrections, but... the R51 is a body on full frame vehicle. No stress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I don't want to start off here issuing corrections, but... the R51 is a body on full frame vehicle. No stress. He was talking about a r50. r50=unibody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4wdRequired Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 You are right, and I can't read! Thrown off by the topic. Need more :coffee!: My apologies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Is there an easy one to use, or has anyone even tried putting a solid rear in the 05+ yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 judging by the traffic in this forum I assume the 05 and up pathfinders are not big sellers I see them all the time, bone stock and ferrying the kids around... It's a questionable base for an off road vehicle, most people do not mod $30k trucks that are near new and they are new enough that they don't need much repair yet so there is little knowledge base generated. Most people who drive these go to the dealership, not grab their creeper and a wrench... Lots of reasons that there isn't much discussion about them.

Kingman Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 The only even remotely modded R51s are the ones seen in some off-road TV shows and magazines. I see them all the time with huge rims on them and the poeple driving have the seat so far back you might as well be laying down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B iAgree, there are many many of them out there I would also add that the first of the R51's are just now getting to an age that a bank/lender will not like to lend on them, the secondary market should start to come down on them becuase of this.
