Kingman Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 2WD. The CVs cannot handle the amount of flex provided in the long travel kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 (edited) 2wheel drive, more a pre-runner kit. That would kill cv's bending them around that much... If it didn't instantly pop the to pieces. Edit: Kingman beat me to it Edited September 16, 2010 by nunya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MY1PATH Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 not to mention there will Be a STRUT in the way of the CV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eyehategod310 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 this guy seems to have a long travel kit on a 4WD. correct me if i'm wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I still need to find that Jimmy guy, and get the scoop. It is a 2wd kit though, you can install it on a 4wd, but it will no longer be a 4wd then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyourface1650 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 They do have a 4x4 long travel kit with coils , but its for the w/d22. Though other then the lca mounts being different I would imagine they could be the same. I thought about modifying the kit to work d21...dunno just a thought. And with retended axle shafts the angles for the cvs wouldn't bee tooooooo bad..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inyourface1650 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 (edited) Got a reply. Looks likes going to go 2wd. HI MIKE!, I'M NOT MADE THE KIT, BUT I THINK TO SELL, THE PROJECT HAVE OTHER WAY,will take away 4WD, And build A-ARMS BUT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK, THE KIT ARE DESIGNED 3.5" OVER ( BY SIDE) THE LOWER ARMS ARE CONCENTRIC PIVOT POINT (NOT LIKE ORIGINAL), AND DROP BRAKETS TO GET 4"LIFT, THIS ASEPT 8"OR 10" COILOVER THE CV JOINTS ARE EXTENDED WITH COUPLING ( YOU NEED CUT AND WELD ) THE UPPER ARMS NEET A BRAKES ARE WELD ON THE SIDE OF THE CHASSIS, THE CENTER LINK IS NOT A STOCK THERE ARE CUSTOM MADE,ALL HEIMS AND BUSHINGS INCLUIDED YOU ONLY NEED DISARM YOUR SUSPENSION AND INSTALL THE NEW THE SPINDLE IS MODIFIED, Uniball BEARING UP AND DOWN STOCK BALL JOINT ( LIFE TIME WARRANTY IN AUTOZONE) I CAN TAKE PICTURES OF ALL IF YOU LIKE SORRY IF MY ENGLISH IS NOT GOOD I understand everything but the line about the brakes - anyone have any ideas? Anyway, I'm very interested in a Long Travel 4wd kit for this truck as I have reached the limitations of the stock suspension while doing high speed desert driving and rock crawling, and dont want to SAS - as that would kill my high speed desert driving. Long travel 2wd would kill my rock crawling lol.... Edited October 9, 2010 by Inyourface1650 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmoore4512 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I straight up DIG the music in that video...makes me want to go back to high school... And the pre runner is cool too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I love that truck!!! Long travel 4wd is where its at. I would totally keep ifs if I could get 12 inches of travel Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Magicians_Eye Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 The guy with the red pathy is on my friend's list on facebook. His name is Martin Islas. The suspension in the video is 4x4 but he took it out. He ended out building a whole new front clip with 2 wheel drive trophy truck type front suspension. I don't speak Spanish so it's hard to talk to him. All I know is that he had the Pathy up for sale about two or three months ago. Here's the 4x4 long travel completely removed from the pathy. Here is what it looked like when it went up for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heloflyboy Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 That thing is cool. I looked into long arm kit before I did SAS. I saw a kit at SEMA a few years ago. I believe it was Fab Tech or Camberg .I will see if I could find info. They did a 2 wheel drive and 4 wheel drive. The 4x4 kit was about 4K complete I think it used a porsche 930 cv . The whole front end had to be cut out. It looked more or less like this red one,but not as beefy. I would imagine this was a 10K + mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmd21682 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 i have been searching for yrs and ive only found 2 pathfinders with long travel front ifs, neither 1 was 4 wheel drive....... i personally would love to make it happen and still have the use of 4 wheel...... i know it would b a pain but not impossible...... if anyone finds anything else or can talk to the guy who built the red pathy and see if he could do more or why he removed it ........ ideally i would like to get ride of the torsion bar set up all together and run coilovers.......

Tungsten Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 If you want long travel with 4WD the cheapest route is to just use a front solid axle. Independent long travel axles can get really complex with those angles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inyourface1650 Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Yes, but generally long travel 4wd is for high speed....solid axles dont do that well. I want high speed performance and rock crawling. Yes i want my cake and to eat it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
