Hello all, long time lurker here. Figured it was a good time to start my build thread! Before this I had a 2010 Ford Ranger budget build to try the truck platform and really wanted to go back to the SUV. As previous to the Ranger I built a 2006 Xterra S model that was just too slow in the CO mountains with 35's and 4.10's. So I felt a great compromise would be the V8 pathfinder.... other than 3 aspects. 1, the roof rack does not go to the windshield, but is shorter due to sunroof. 2, the limitations on gearing being a 3.36 option without SAS'n the rear end. And finally the rear IFS. I felt with my previous knowledge of the platform, my interests leaning more toward camping and overlanding, along with towing in the mountains; this would be a great option for me.

Finally, I like to build all kinds of things and currently have a handful of projects. Here are some pictures of my current and past builds.
