ahardb0dy Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 (edited) nice! like the custom fender work! LOL my 94 pathfinder I just got isn't on the road yet and looks stock so no pics of it here but here are some of my 87 hardbody at different stages of it's life: after some mud fun gauges I mounted in the dash rear view triple double rollbar sitting on 35's switches custom installed for lights at the car wash after a night of frozen mud side view on 35's with my favorite lights, Hella 2000's close up of 35" BFG at on centerline wheel with black lugs with aftermarket grille with driving lights built in Edited April 18, 2010 by ahardb0dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Niiice. I really like that grille. Are they still available and would they work on a Pathfinder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 I like the gauges above the glove box. I've been wondering where to put a 3 pod... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 the grilles were available years ago, I highly doubt the company is still around, I still have the one in the pic although my truck is gone now, (should have kept it!!), the lights were nice as they were adjustable by adjusting 2 screws just like a headlight. The grill itself was kind of flimsy compared to a stock one. I know when they changed the headlights on the trucks from my style in 87 to the flush type in I believe 89? Not sure what year pathfinders have which type of headlights but my 94 pathfinder has the 89 truck style headlights so I don't think this grille would work without modification. The gauges I had a upholstery company back home cut the 3 holes above the glove box, I know what ever tool they used the guy told me they broke like 3 bits, I mounted and installed the gauges. I saw a hardbody somewhere ( in a magazine I think) and the owner had 3 gauges mounted like mine were but he had his mounted in a panel and the panel was attached to the dash. I just wanted individual holes and there was actually room for a 4th one if I ever wanted to mount another one. Also in my 87 Hardbody when you open the glove box it had a plastic "roof" under where the gauges were installed that I had to cut open slightly to get my hand up in there to get to the back of the gauges, I noticed in my 94 pathfinder that the metal plate behind the glove box is now "L" shaped and replaces the plastic part that I had to cut. The older trucks used a flat metal pc. behind the glove box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted April 19, 2010 Author Share Posted April 19, 2010 By the way my 87 had UCA's by Jim Connor racing, first generation type where they reinforced the factory arms and used a ball joint spacer, I had mine optioned with shock tabs on top so I could install triple shocks using shock hoops that I also bought from them, the shock hoops I had painted and NEVER installed !! I still have them all these years later. torsion bars were 2 stage also from JCR. The rear of my truck had double shocks also from Jim Connor, used to use a Rancho add-a-leaf ( the thick short one) until I broke one 4 wheeling than I replaced them with thin Trailmaster add-a-leafs. I had a 3" aluminum block Trailmaster body lift. rear axle had a Jim Connor skid plate and the front skid plate was also one of his parts, still have the front one it's going on my pathfinder. Rear window was from CR Laurence and was one of those limo types that electrically rolled up and down, still have that too,LOL. Roll bar was sold long ago, I had 6 of those Hella Rally 2000's now down to 2 but I still have all the different lenses for them. Front and rear tube bumpers were from Smittybilt, the rear one was modified later to sit in the proper place with the body lift. Winch bumper I got later on was from Pro Zap, no winch but I had my air tank and one of my 2 air horns mounted where the winch was supposed to go. Window visors were from Wade. The BFG all terrains were 35's all other pics were 33" mud terrains. Light bar on top of roll bar was from House of Steel which made the factory Nissan grille guards and stuff and the lettering under the rear facing lights said "go ahead make my day", one day a car behind me had his high beams on and got blinded by the 2 rear lights, the driver didn't appreciate it, he was a cop!! plug hanging under bumper was for a set of tow truck style plug in jumper cables, much more convenient than having to open the hood Sorry no 4 wheeling pics , most of mine are on video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
