Gyropath Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 It looks like I've found like-minded people who share my love for early Pathfinders. My first was a 95 SE sweetheart with 230k on it. Worked great until my 16 yr old Son rolled it "swerving to avoid hitting a rabbit" on a gravel road. Right! Couldn't resist a good deal on a 92 SE a bit after that happened. Had fun fixing it up and driving it until somebody made an offer I couldn't refuse and parted with it. A couple years ago I found another "good deal" on a 1992 SE I couldn't pass up, and still have today. Another ongoing project! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleFR Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Welcome. I'm an R50 fanatic, there's something wrong with the WD nuts. Haha J/K glad you joined, should find any information you seek here. I did my whole build off of tidbits I picked up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I jumped from a 95 to an 05 (actually, jumped is a bad word, I have both). I skipped the frameless caR50 mallcrawler model Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Gotta keep the reliable 95 for when the 05 breaks down. Seriously my 95 is still the most reliable car in my whole family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I jumped from a 95 to an 05 (actually, jumped is a bad word, I have both). I skipped the frameless caR50 mallcrawler model Not sure how a framed SUV with IRS and weaker drivetrain is better than a frameless mallcrawler with the same stout WD21 drivetrain... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamzan Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I would take an r50 over the the r51 any day...I've wheeled with those, no articulation at all. I hate dealing just with front independent. Couldn't stand it on all 4.. Remember the jeep XJ is frameless and is still loved by all.

hawairish Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Yeah, I don't mean to knock any of the Pathfinder models (except the R52, of course), but I really don't get the degrading comment. But this probably isn't the time or place for that convo. Welcome to the forums, Gyropath! Whereabouts in MN are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k9sar Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 haven't abused the 05 yet. Just driving it to work while I try to get the 95 through inspection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyropath Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 I'm near Loretto, which is about an hour out west of Minneapolis. Nice rural living! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
