    FS: Selling my ExPo built Nissan Pathfinder in SoCal

    Thanks so much guys - I'm humbled by your words and support! I'm actually not in a rush to sell it but since my kid will start driving in a few more months I figured I might need to shop for a daily driver for myself (since my current DD will get passed down). Another option is to just hang on...

    FS: Selling my ExPo built Nissan Pathfinder in SoCal

    Arguably the most popular R50 Nissan Pathfinder on the Internet. It has a complete build thread right here on ExPo that I started 7yrs ago (link in my signature). A definite attention getter and conversation starter in parking lots, gas stations etc. For the past 7 years this truck has taken my...

    My 2001 Pathfinder (R50 ) mild/budget build

    All very good points that I need to consider. It's time vs. money vs. room etc. I haven't been to NPORA in ages! seems like a lifetime ago when I was active even here but it's how I've always been...my post college life was all about the track days and racing cars and then motorcycles and then...

    My 2001 Pathfinder (R50 ) mild/budget build

    Thanks guys. Good to see you guys still around too! It's a tough decision. If I keep it for the time being , how long would I keep it? It's not so much that I need the money I need the room. I've been thinking about getting a pickup truck but don't want to add another car to the household. As...

    My 2001 Pathfinder (R50 ) mild/budget build

    Well folks...I've been thinking about selling the beast lately :( Unfortunately, I don't drive it much at all...whenever I do it draws a lot of attention, people talk to me when I fill up which is somewhat fun lol. But unfortunately I don't get to go offroad very much anymore as other...

    My 2001 Pathfinder (R50 ) mild/budget build

    Yeah a few rigs had their a/c on but didn't seem to matter. Dust is much lighter so the small pressure inside the cabin can help keep it away. Water has a lot more compression force when it's displaced. The bow wave helps but only to an extent also, it's just the nature of the beast :) I've...

    My 2001 Pathfinder (R50 ) mild/budget build

    Indeed! the water crossing at Afton Canyon was quite deep. Even those with much higher rigs had water intrusion inside the cabin and that water was mostly muck! For my truck it's just another battle scar but I felt bad for a few there that were in practically brand new trucks; a couple of mint...

    My 2001 Pathfinder (R50 ) mild/budget build

    Thanks man, always glad to hear others were able to get some practical use out of my 4yrs+ of blabbering here lol Yep, you moved back east (?) hope you still have the 2dr Rubi. Nathan's has been without a 4x4, a couple of others I've lost touch with. Hoping to do some trips soon once the...

    My 2001 Pathfinder (R50 ) mild/budget build

    Oh man, I'm not getting notifications on this thread so after 8 months or so I decided to pop in here to see if my thread's even alive and I see your msg above. I'm definitely down for some trips so hit me up if you have anything planned! It just seems most of our SoCal group members I used to...

    That's a bummer but such is the fate of most cars in the rust belt...post up pics etc of whatever you replace the X with.

    Haha! yeah I haven't been around here much; nothing major to report Pathy wise...haven't done too many offroading trips either. Oh the valve cover is leaking oil but I'm not looking forward to fixing it due to the work involved lol

    My 2001 Pathfinder (R50 ) mild/budget build

    A quick trip to the mountains with a local offroad group. A couple of people asked me what kind of truck it was, I guess it's been hacked at enough that it's unrecognizable to most lol
