PaulsPath Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 (edited) Hi everyone, I live in Buffalo, NY. We get alot of snow....hence the Pathfinder I bought today has alot of rust. I guess that is where my work begins. I would like to run 32x11.50 AT's. I have a warn winch...and need a bumper or somethng to mount it on. Ive been through all the upgrades on my Toyota Tacoma but every vehicle is different. If anyone can give advice on lifts or if one is needed for 32" tires that would be great. Im also loking for a new front bumper ... ARB is fine but if there is anything else out there for the weekend warrior to mount his winch on that would be great. Pictures are coming soon. Thanks, Paul Edited November 22, 2005 by PaulsPath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hi Paul. Welcome to the board!! I'm not so far from you - in Toronto...

PaulsPath Posted November 18, 2005 Author Share Posted November 18, 2005 Thanks Pezzy! Ya Toronto is just up the road. Actually my wife is from the GTA. We just moved here to Buffalo. By the way what is WD21? Thanks, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 WD21 is actually the chassis code for your generation truck - (I have an R50... incase you read that one later and wonder WTF!?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SC88Pathy Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 WD21 87-95 pathfinders 87-89 (and a couple of 90 pathys) 2 door 90-95 4 door R50 96-2000 pathfinders Welcome to the board. ARB does make a bumper for your pathy, it's quite expensive though. You can check out the Armor section at www.4x4parts.com They have a lot of winch mounting options for you.

k9sar Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 WD21 is actually the chassis code for your generation truck - (I have an R50... incase you read that one later and wonder WTF!?) yea...

SC88Pathy Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 *snicker* Knock that off k9! You'll scare away the newbie! Hmm I just checked the winch mounting options and they're kinda slim. You could always buy a brush gaurd and weld in a winch mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 First of all, Welcome. To run 32" tires, you're going to need at least a 3" SL or Body Lift. And you'll probably still have to trim the front fenders and/or fender flares if you're so equipped. I'm runnin 32's and have a 3" SL. You can check mine out in the Pictures and videos section of the board, under New Tires and Rims. If you combine a 3"SL and a 3"BL, you can fit 33" tires on these rigs. Search around....you'll find lots of information about all of the above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulsPath Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Cool! I had a bumper like ARB's for my Toyota Tacoma. I had it made at www.bentup.com. Its pretty beefy. I dont think I want anything like that for the pathfinder. I think the brush guard idea might work. I guess with the right brush guard I could weld a plate for the winch. Has anyone here done that? Thanks for the warm welcome! :cool2: Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vengeful Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Hey Paul! I'm just down the `Way a bit in Rochester. If you ever wanna venture off the pavement, just gimme a buzz. Also, this weekend, the Upstate New York Xterra Club (Oh, and Pathies!) is having a run down at Paragon in Hazleton, PA. Would be a perfect chance for you to break in the "new" truck just right!
