Not too new but close.

To start off I have been creepin these forums for a while and used you ladies and gents vast knowlege of the R50 pathys to my advantage. Anyways on to the introduction!

 

I am 24 and reside down in Southwest Arkansas and my pathy is my daily driver, as well as, my hunting/fishin/everything else ride.

 

Background: I had an '05 Pikes Peak White Nissan 350Z up until sept. of last year. I was cruising down the interstate at a law abiding 70mph (due to the fact that the day before I got a speeding ticket for 83 in a 70 ...I was on a downhill slope HA!) when I came into some bad weather. Anyone who has ever driven a Z knows that heavy rains + Z car is not a good mixture. Long story short the rear end broke loose and sent me drifting at that speed. I kept it in the road the only problem was...in the road is also where that 2ton box truck was as well. After all the crashing and smashing I walked away without a scratch thanks to the 5 star side impact crash rating of the Z. I lost a part of me that day.. After the insurance agreed it was totalled and I paid it off i came out with about 3k in my pocket. Started hunting for a ride when I came across the pathy. I wanted something black 4dr 4wd and this fit the ticket!

 

After obtaining my brand newish Black '98 SE with a clean 175k on the odo I naturally started looking into lifting it wheels/tires etc. I got real bummed when I couldnt find anything. And then I came across a forum named NPORA. Here is where I found a large group of individuals that were very willing to help and didnt have the stereotypical "go look it up noob" kinda responses. Thanks to all you fellas hard work I now have a 98 Pathy with a 4in SFD and 2in AC coils up front 6.5in WJ lift coil modified to fit in the rear. The lift ended up being a little higher than i had expected so the 31x10.50s I had planned to use looked funny so I am currently running a set of my brothers wheels and tires 33x12.50 buckshots. 33x12.50/15 Nitto Trail Grapplers Fuel Revolver WHeels 3.75 backspace should be here middle of next week hope they fit right. I am quite proud of my lil truck. As soon as I get it to where its pretty much finished I will put some pics up in the R50 Forums.

 

Thanks again and Thanks for help in the future!

Better late than never we don't cate if it's in junkyard condition or a showroom showpiece, we want pics! And your name still reminds me of the Waterboy too

When I make my post Ill have before middle and end pics to post up. looks really goofy on stock wheels/tires! I wont be finished with my plans but close when i put em up.

Welcome to NPORA Bud, and thanks for the intro.

 

Don't wait until your truck is done to post pictures, because I have bad news for you, they aren't ever really done...

Yea Im sure I will always be finding new little tweaks and shinys for the pathy. Just wanna have my base idea done. Ill put up pics from when i first got it to my SFD build how it sits today and hopefully a few with the new wheels/tires at the end of the week. Be like a good book lotsa pictures! I still have to find a light bar idea. I looked for Silvapathys build thread for his "home depot" mounting style but haven't found it. Just more things with time...and a thin cash flow.
