Nice summary! My R51 is amazing in freezing Norway as well! If you're still around, do you know if I'm right to deduce that the D40 Navara could come with diff lock, but not the Pathfinder?

@@Sandnessenarb has a diff lock for the r51 path

@@Irish_Hooligan aha, thanks! Is it the air locker?

@@Sandnessen yes, but there are brands that make E lockers as well.

He has some nice videos, I watch everyone.

come to Aus there's lifted pathy's everywhere! I've got a 4inch lift on mine

Disel or gasolin?

John Smith, Thank you, I love it too, and i know you will love yours too.

Agent. K., I totally agree. This vehicle has become my favorite one out of all of my previous 4x4 vehicles.

Agent. K. Agreed! Very underrated . Other then my 3 inch lift and 33’s very similar to this gentleman’s truck it’s completely stock . Well I do have an upgraded air filter system . But other then that I have no problem off road . I go off-road a lot with a friends Jeep club just for fun and Up to this point I’ve only had to be pulled out once and that’s because of a flat tire . But I’ve pulled those guys out a couple times with ease . The first time I just wanted to see what my truck could do , he was stuck in serious mud . I hooked up to the front of his Jeep rubicon and then to the front of my pathfinder and seriously just drug him out . I was pulling in reverse . And check this out , for the first few feet he didn’t even realize he had his E brake on . And I was just dragging him out . After he realized and took it off it was crazy how the pathfinder just pulled him out . I have a video and pictures in my old phone . But yea these trucks really are underrated.

Alger Adventures where did you get the bolts for the back suspension I also have a Nissan Pathfinder but I can seem to find the longer bolts anywhere.

What was the size of the bolts that you put and where did you buy them

I can't agree more with you. I have watched a lot of those videos and they really show what they can do. As much as I like the 4.0 I wish we could have the diesel too.

@@algeradventures4891 we have the v8 vk56de also in the US from 08-12 but they are super rare. I happen to be one of the lucky ones that owns a v8 r51 4x4

they mod the 2.5L diesels. same chassis tho. solid trucks all around.

Awesome, thanks for watching.

Offroad Adventures, Nice did you have problems with getting the rear aligned back into specs. I know a lot of people cut the Armada springs down to get a 2" or 1" lift. The Armada springs are a lot cheaper than the aftermarket Pathfinder springs.

@@algeradventures4891 i have not had a realignment yet. With new springs i wanted them to settle down before hand. But from looking I dont see that it will be an issue.

@@TNcountrylife , I agree with letting new springs settle. Let me know how the realignment goes. I have read a lot on the forums that over 2" the rear wont go back to specs, but I'm not sure how many people actually tried.

@@algeradventures4891 i dont have an exact number on additional gains as my factory springs were wore out and sagging. I know i went from 2 to 6 inches of wheel gap. So i may have only gained 2 true inches and corrected 2 inches of sagging. I will say either way i am at max with out charging out other components.. i deffinantly want new upper control arms up front.

@@algeradventures4891 what are some good forums to check out? I have an 01 Pathfinder 4x4 that I want to start upgrading. Not sure where to look for aftermarket parts or ideas....

Xx AldDiv, Thank you i appreciate it.

johnny martinez how so? I’m curious and I have an R50 pathy.

johnny martinez oh wait, I just noticed it has rear independent suspension...

Got news for you they all share the same traction control system same engine .. trans ...transfer case front diff and suspension the only difference between a pathy and the other two is the rear diff and suspension.. from 05 and up.

you all prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a method to get back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would love any assistance you can offer me!

@Ethan Maxton Instablaster :)

@Hudson Emory i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and im trying it out now. Takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Hudson Emory it worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much, you really help me out !

@Ethan Maxton You are welcome :D

Blue Collar Studio, Thank you, and i feel very lucky to live where i do now since i came from CA and any decent trail took a few hours to get to. I have trails for days all around me. I really like the Armada's and doing lifts on them is the same as on the Pathfinder.

​@algeradventures4891 just came across your channel. I'm almost positive you filmed that out off perkinsville rd. I recognize that terrain.

Awesome and thank you, send me some pics of your rig

Thank you Arnold

Thank you

Derrick Murphy, Thank you i appreciate it.

Hi, I have checked them recently and haven't had any problems with bolts coming loose or the rubbing folding over. They have performed perfect for me so far

@@algeradventures4891 what are the size and pitch of the new bolts? Going to be doing this to mine soon!!

You could put sleeves inside of the tubing if it ever started to squish together. Infact, I just bought I 05 and that's what I'm going to do.

Buy wheels with a higher negative offset, or you can run spacers

Thank you, there are nuts in the frame. So if you can keep with the same bolt thread. But if something was to happen you can change the nuts with a lot more work

Dorian F, thank you for watching my video. No i haven't had any drive line vibration that i have noticed. Yes I had to get longer bolts, no hardware stores carry long enough bolts, I bought mine from BoltDepot.com. The longest boltdepot had was 120mm they work no problem but, i would feel better with 130mm but i haven't been able to find any.

@@algeradventures4891 I attempted to do my rear lift today and all the subframe bolts broke off inside the frame, lol. So I got some work to do tomorrow.

@@algeradventures4891 Hi mate what bolts did you use for rear subframe. Are they m12 8.8 1.25 pitch same as body?

@@dorianf1456 , sorry to hear about your bolts breaking, especially since it was all of them. How did it go getting those out and replacing them?

@@algeradventures4891 I air hammered the broken bolts and weld nuts out of the frame and fished new nuts inside the frame rails. its wasnt easy but the front and rear lift is done now. The alignment was annoying too because most of the adjustment cams were siezed.

Huaso, Thank you. No, i removed my rear sway-bar. I never got to compare how it does off-road because when i bought my pathfinder it had 22" wheels and i never had any real traction on trails to begin with. But I max out my rear flex on trails now, that with the rear sway bar installed would limit how the whole rear would work. I couldn't compare the on road feeling and handling to stock because of the 22's, and the 22's made the on-road driving horrible. With 16's to 17's, i chose 16" because the tires are cheaper than the 17's, by a little bit. Me personally i don't think their would be a big noticeable difference for side wall flex on road between the 16" to 17" rim. You would feel more with removing the rear sway bar.

Paulo Fogaca, If you are talking about what i used for my rear lift. It is .120 wall which is about 3 mm, but i would recommend doing it .250 which is about 6 mm

@@algeradventures4891 Thank you very much for your attention. I will install on my R51 with 6mm and then send you photos

@@prfogaca100 Yeah your welcome, Please do send the photos. I don't think their are enough R51's' lifted out there.

no i left them off, and i also took the front off as well

Da_Q-ban_One, Awesome that is very exciting, time to transform your Pathfinder. You will have to let me know how the rear works out. You can have the tire shop that is doing your wheels and tires transfer your TPMS over to your new wheel setup. You could leave them off the vehicle but you would have a tire light on. When they transferred mine over they did have to get a new seal kit for 2 of the sensors, but it was only like $10-$15. You will have to let me how the the lift goes, and yes i would like to see pics of your Pathfinder all setup.

Mind if I ask how this went? Looking at the pucks for the back as well. Thanks!

@@dereklonsdale282 I am still having difficulties getting rear aligned properly. This is my current setup: SUSPENSION: Front - Supreme Suspensions front leveling kit for (2" Front Lift Aircraft Billet Strut spacer kit) Rear- Rancho RS70077 coil spring spacer kit (1.75" lift). Brand new Moog 81119 coil springs. Air lift 1000 suspension kit 60810. Gabriel G63875 shocks for '06 armada WHEELS & TIRES: Pro Comp Alloy wheels Series 89 (16" x 8", 6lug x4.5" pitch, -12mm offset). Pro Comp 11124 lug kit. Thunderer MT 285/75R16

Pokerfjes, Thank you. The rear bolts are M14 x 1.50 and i would try to get them in 130 mm length.

@@algeradventures4891 it’s hard to find 130mm length what did you use ? 120mm?

Tengu Drift, lol of course. Its supreme suspension, but the beer opener isn't as good as quality as the lift spacers.

Manu Iqmj, it will make it a little easier if you loosen the upper and lower control arm bolts so your not fighting the bushings. Then with a floor jack under the lower control arm Jack it up to get the bottom shock bolt in and then jack the lower control arm up high enough to get the upper control arm into the knuckle and get a few threads on the but started. I hope that helps you. Without an after market upper control arm it takes a bit to get it together.

i did a subframe drop, so the body and bumpers stay in the same place.

I replaced my rear coil springs with Old Man Emu heavy duty coil springs. Not only did it give the rear a significant (>2") lift, but it keeps the rear end from sagging when the truck is loaded down with camping gear. The trade-off is a stiffer ride, but I don't mind that. You might need to replace your control arm bushings with eccentric bushings in order to ensure the camber is good.

I got mine from ace hardware, but I did want bolts that are about half an inch longer and I could only find them online that you had to buy in bulk

Did you change your front upper arm since 2" lift add on

Cheapness.

Hey i need to lift r51 for desert driving as well. Did you manage to improve the car for desert?

I want to know the same?

@@wolf2016. I ordered a 5in sub frame from prg and calmini front with 2in spacer hat in front and 2in springs in rear

Their are a bunch of options for spring and shock replacements depending on your budget. And no their isn't many lifted pathfinders out their

Alger Adventures I’m thinking about going kyb. I just want my ride to be smooth again. What brand do u have in yours ?

@@hughujkbkilhhhfbhgyre6436 , I have the factory shock's and springs still. I just added spacers. I know my suspension is now stuffer than factory in the front but I don't notice it

Alger Adventures Ok, thanks.

Yup that is correct, that is the length and size I used

Alger Adventures thanx Do you have any pics, to see where they go exactly? (:

Brendaleetv, No i haven't upgraded my recovery points. I have been looking at DezertRunner's, they say they will fit the pathfinder. I will have to look into RoadSafes's.

I just looked underneath my Pathfinder SE and I do have L and R frame treded mounting holes so Ill get the yellow recovery points from RoadSafe.

They go in the front of the subframe held by a single bolt

Yes you can, it would probably be easier

Juan Ramirez, The bolts are M14x1.50 and if you do a 2" i would go with 130mm long

I used supreme suspension and i got it from amazon

Yes its the same suspension just without a front diff

Hi, I got them from Amazon, but any shop or online store that has them for the frontier or Xterra of similar year will work. I don't think the r51 Pathfinder shares the same front suspension as the NV200, sorry I'm not familiar with the European models

Yes they are the original front and rear. The front you just bolt the spacer onto the top of the original front struts. The rear you don't touch the shocks or spring, they are attached to the subframe and you lower that whole unit.

@@algeradventures4891 hi alger, so 33" is there any trim to fit the tire in? and is that need to replace those lug nut to bigger than usual nuts?

I have a aftermarket offset on my wheels so I had to do the melt mod to my front inner fenders. I actually have a video on what I did to make them fit. And I changed my lug nuts just because my wheels won't accept factory nuts

@@algeradventures4891 ok thanks, if i put mine zero offset wheel you think there is no need to trim?

I'm sure you can, it's just how much you might have to cut to make it fit

I have mounted 32s (255/75 17, bfg at ko2) on mine stock 06 pathy. No rubbing, but it is a really tight squeeze... on front wheels only 1 mm to bunper on full lock.

no no problems that i know of

Fabinho, I love it. For a budget lift it has performed better than i expected. Being able to fit the 33" mud terrains are the real reason why it performs so well. So when i finally decide on what way i want to go with the suspension it will only get better.

Charles Martel, I agree. I wish they would bring out another Pathfinder with a real frame

Charles Martel I totally agree , that new Pathfinder is trash . It’s nothing like this style at all

Lee Tie, Well thank you for watching. I follow azxc on Instagram but im usually working or have something going on when they have there trail runs. Nice, i keep going back and forth if i want to do a titan swap, maybe someday but my wife really wants me to do it. I don't doubt that i have talked to you or your friend before, goes by Trailfinder_pathy. I talked to them before i got my Pathfinder asking about the flex. And i will have to check out azpathfinderclub.com and look for your builds. I for sure want to get down there and do some runs, especially with other R51's. I would probably geek out seeing your builds in person too. You will have to let me know if your ever up near Prescott area too. Thanks again for the support, and hopefully someday we can meet up.

@@algeradventures4891 life sometimes gets in the way of what we really want to do..lol Bill's will come if we work or not so I know how that goes.. and yep that's victor he and i built his pathy using my old parts from my first pathfinder if you go on the azxc forums shoot me a message I'm " theonepathfinder " we will have to get together and talk shop and do some trails forsure.

@@theclan4adventures that's a true story. Oh nice, I looked at his pictures to see how the rear lift block was done. I definitely will hit you up on their, and it would be awesome to get together and have somebody that knows what I'm talking about.

Hi Mike, hear is a link to Amazon for the ones I have www.amazon.com/Supreme-Suspensions-Frontier-Leveling-Aircraft/dp/B00IDH24CY. They are a 2 inch spacer lift. They fit Nissan frontier, Xterra, and the Pathfinder. The front suspension of all 3 are the same.

Yes, I did the pinch seam mod and I had to melt the fender liner in the front and back to make room

@Blow By Racing Keeping up with the Jones pinch seam mod is where you take the flat seam that sticks out (it is behind the wheel well liner) and take a hammer and bend it over out of the way of the tire. Some have cut it every inch or so to make it easier to fold over.
