Thanks .. it's a work in progress. I'll try to get more videos up soon

Yeah the pathfinder is a good trail rig with minor parts.. 2011 is still the same platform as mine so any front suspension parts for 2005 and up frontier xterra or pathfinder will work.. shocks arms titan swap bla bla bla.. for the rear id run an air bag set up with either stock coils and a spacer or a set of rear springs off of 4x4parts.com And either rs9000's or some radflos made for the pathfinder .. basic 2.5 inch lift some clever trimming can get 33's easy just remember 4-lo and stay off the brakes when climbing..if you touch the brakes the computer will disengage the traction control..learn to use steady and smooth throttle..you'll be suprized where that thing will go.

Thanks brother I’ve been playing with them for a long time. I can help you as much as I can so you can email me at onefast4@gmail.com and I’ll do my best to answer any questions you might have.

They are very underrated. Cheap for what they can do with a little effort and right mods..

I will for sure. Right now its 1000* outside but I have everything ready thanks for watching and I should have some more videos up soon.

The main shaft is for a titan swap. Don’t get rid of it you will need that part and swap out the cv ends witch are stock. I wondered if anyone would pick it up.. lol you can email me at onefast4@gmail.com and I’ll send you my number.

Thought about doing a bolt on one but getting ready to do rear titan swap and here in az it's pretty hot this time of year.. I will consider it though.. when it cools down..

Xterra is nice if you dont need the extra room.. I say test drive both then buy the pathfinder lol

if you plan on lifting it the xterra is a lot easier with the solid rear axle and titan swap front. Plus you can get a e locker from factory

I've found that the 2.5 td does not do very well ....the 4.0 v6 that we have here in the states does very well most going over 300k easy. Both pathfinders I've had (2006) lasted over 200k offroad 2-3 times a week and as daily drivers 80+miles daily for years... I'm not sure what nissan did different on the ones you guys have but I've never seen anyone claim the 2.5 as reliable... hopfully yours will treat you well if you decide to mod it let me know I'll help as much as I can..thanks for watching

@@theclan4adventures What you have written is exact... Here in Europe, it is very very much expensive to run a 4-liter petrol engine, for the price of the fuel (1.5 USD/liter) but also for the assurance, registration taxes and whatnot - these stupid governments prefer to pollute 50 times more and bully on the "big American cars"... Anyway, these TD engines are as torquey as the 4-liter petrol's even if considerably less powerful. I'll make a video of mine's one of these days. All the best.

@@carlfreire3840 I wish they made the td version here in the states i would buy one for sure . I used to run a vw td in a samurai years ago.. power to spare..lol unfortunately I dont have access to one here to look at the design nissan used and therefore be able to give people hints on good mods to make it more reliable. All I can offer for anyone with one reading this would be typical turbo car mods .. heat is the enemy so wires plugs anything electrical oil power steering or ac lines should be shielded and kept away from heat as much as possible ..t bolt clamps should be used wherever possible even on low boost.. rubber boots or couplings should be swaped out for silicone versions if they can be ..a bigger oil cooler if possible ..bigger trans cooler things like that will all help with reliability... routine checks for leaks and broken parts will help keep from breaking down out on a trail.. Hope this helps you or anyone reading this in some way I'll try to get some more videos up soon thanks again for watching

Yeah i sold it awhile back for something with a little more room inside wish i still had it.. its a great truck

I built both kits because there was no aftermarket available at that time. The 4” wider per side kit was on my white pathfinder originally then went on victor’s pathy while I built the 7” wider kit. I sold the white pathfinder after returning it to somewhat stockish condition giving both kits to victor. When I got this silver pathfinder I got the 4” kit back from victor. Both of us if we had to do it all over again would titan swap the front with a nice aftermarket upper control arm then solid axle swap the rear probably using a titan rear end. The Nissan irs wears out fast when used off road. Both Vic and I ended up using track bar poly bushing kits to mod the rear end and before I left az we were working on a possibility of a uni ball joint at the rear knuckle.. I’ll have to check in with Vic when I’m back in az and I’ll post up a vid of his truck soon

@@theclan4adventuresAwesome.. yeah I saw vids of Vic's truck on your page, that things wiiiide! Must be tons of travel. If you purchased the typical Titan swap stuff with nice struts and some SPC Uca's, would you modify at all? I'm pretty sure the most you get out of those setups is 10.5inch of travel.. and they are 3in wider per side. Getting 14in is a huge improvement with just 1 inch. I would definitely want to go that way!

@@dolphbade I would do the standard swap with the parts you listed and see if you need more ..a stock pathfinder with a good set of tires and decent driver will surprise you where it can go. If you need more room you can go with a armada or do what I did and get a first gen sequoia.

Did you do the Sequoia over the Armada because the solid rear axle? What highway MPG are you getting?

@@dolphbade 13-14 on stock gears 35’s and 800 lbs of extra crap pathfinder got 10-11

Stay away from body lifts ...ever taken one of your seats out ?.. they are extremely heavy im not kidding driver seat alone probably weighs more than you.. leave the body and all the glass and interior as close to the chassis as possible. With cleaver triming I ran 35's on stock rear suspension no lift on my white pathfinder .. I can send pics if you give me your email..otherwise just trust me say no to a body lift. Lol

@@theclan4adventures kendallrs1974@gmail.com Thanks man.

Feel free to email me and I can help you out.. onefast4@gmail.com

Hopfully by next summer everthing will be opened back up..right now most of the trails i frequently take that are close by are closed do to fires. Butcher Jones and four peaks are the main ones I also spend alot of time in Florence at box canyon and scrounging areas all of this is on the east and southeast side and are free to go to. On the west side there are a lot of trails like table mesa and a box canyon out there as well. You can Google off raod trails in az for a better list...most of our trails here are free

I’m always down to wheel with anyone but I don’t have this pathfinder anymore I’ll have to do an update video on my current set up.

@@theclan4adventures yeah let me know how I can reach you other than KZfaq. Looking forward to the seeing what rig you're running now.

@@guillermosalazar4791 ok sounds good shoot me an email Onefast4@gmail.com

2.5 in 2.5 out 40 series and yes I cut it at the inlet area for the stock muffler..I can't remember if I had to use a reduced piece from autozone or just a section of straight pipe to make up the distance because the flowmaster is a lot smaller over all than the stock unit..but I welded it in and ran the stock tail pipe section but removed the mini muffler and added a down turn to the tip other wise it will cook the rear bumper and taillight lol

Gas mileage will suffer a little bit with out regearing but you will hardly notice performance wise with 33's.

Thanks, I was worried performance wise, in my mind if you buy a truck, you should be prepared for fuel consumption. Yeah, will start with 2" lift and 33s,will see where we go from there.

I sold it .. it was at a small dealership for awhile then I don’t know bought a sequoia for more room.

Yes I ran stock gears in this and my white pathfinder with 35’s Vic also runs factory gears and 35’s. The 4.0 v6 doesn’t care too much and has plenty of low end even after the tires. Most normal people wouldn’t even notice except when braking witch is an easy fix next time you install pads get the best ones you can get ..

One other question, did you have any issues with the 35s rubbing? Im titan swapped up front and the rear has Ironman 2" springs...but im not sure if ill have enough clearance. Do you have a body lift on the pathfinder? Im going to try and fit Yokohama Geolander 315/75R16 Thank you again!

@@josephnavarrete1623 no body lift just trimmed the pinch weld and beat the fire wall In enough to clear. the front bumper (stock one) will have to be trimmed as well. I think in the rear you’ll have to check but maybe at the front of the wheel well opening might need trimmed a little I can’t remember..

Wow that’s not good. When I was building pathfinder’s no one made lifts for them so I did what could to figure out stuff that works. I would contact iron man and see what they say. Could be the shocks your using can’t dampen the heavy springs allowing a lot of weight transfer

@@theclan4adventures yeah man, looking to buy ranchos xl9000 dampers to adjust after applying air bags in the coils today held up tight But some air came out so I'll check where I failed at later. Thanks 👍🏽

I don’t run either swaybar. Both were removed on this pathfinder as well as my current build. With the fully independent suspension on all four corners it handles fine and the body roll is dependent on the amount of weight in the truck and how fast you try to take corners. At freeway speeds with an inexperienced driver encountering and emergency lane change it would be a hand full for sure .. tall tires big sidewalls and soft suspension are not ideal for high speed handling.. my wife has driven my trucks for years and hasn’t had any problems or complaints.. as far as off road it is night and day. I’m not going to type out a novel on swaybars and what they do.. just know this : if you had stock suspension drive through an obstacle then disconnect one or both sway bars and drive through it again it will feel completely different as well as an obstacle you might not make through with swaybars connected you might be able to do it with them disconnected.

@@theclan4adventures OK awesome thanks for your response, I appreciate it! My Path has a shock and spring space lift 2.5"-3" and 285/70/17s Hankook DynaPro A/Ts for now until I do something better with the lifting situation. Been looking into the European aftermarket suspension kits.

@@raphaelrivera4903 intended use will determine what kind of mods need to be done.. budget and over all look will play a role as well so will how much work you can do yourself. If you drive on the street most of the time and off-road on the weekends camping and just basically over landing stuff I’d opt for a good set of front coil overs aftermarket upper control arm and then in the back I’d run a air bag with compressor setup and possibly keep the spacer along with adding a quality rear shock like an extended travel radflow. Keep the truck as low as possible but still run at least a 33”tire. Another rear option would be a progressive rate coil and quality shock like the radflo I suggested..The weak points are the factory bushings .. Nissan never intended for these to really be driven off-road a lot.. the rear lower control arm the spring sits in typically is the first to fail once lifted..the inner most bushing that connects the arm to the sub frame is the first to go along with front upper control arm bushings.. replacing those with a poly bushing seemed to be the only solution for me and Vic. A cheap way to help all the bushings survive longer is to loosen all the bolts once the lift is installed and then retighting all of them ..recheck alignment. Don’t leave anything loose

Depends on what shock set up you want the fox shocks I was running at the time of the video we’re off my 07 stock titan 4x4 but I made multiple sets of mounts to get the mounting correct and ended up removing the rear air conditioner unit and had to go through the frame for the upper location. The frame is thin and soft so anything you do at your own risk. I would suggest radflows in extended travel made for the rear of the r51 or a cheaper alternative is rs9000’s from rancho

I made them. Using 3/16 aluminum angle. They were 3” long over all. Made from 2” angle from Home Depot.. the window side of the angle was 2” with 4 holes in it and the side the light mounted on was cut down to 1” with a single hole for the light bracket.. I used standard sheet metal screws to mount the aluminum bracket to the a pillar and a little bit of sealant.

Yes all three pathfinder’s I’ve built ran 35’s on stock gears .. Vic also has run 35’s on stock gears for over 10years as well.

Depends on the length of the shock you plan to run the 2in subframe spacers will lift the back exactly that 2inch but your upper shock mount will not change as it is built into the subframe so with stock springs your still going to have the same amount of travel and spring rates witch is very soft id recommended doing the sub frame drop but put in some air bags and go with a decent shock made for the rear of the pathfinder.

Lee Tie thanks for the info any recommendations Iam buying the rear shocks tomorrow hopefully finish the front lift and the rear subframe

@@isacur1027 depends on how much you want to spend .. i don't like 5100's but everyone loves them they are a good baseline shock ..next up from that would be rs9000's and then up from that would be a set of radflos or fox.. because yours till running the stock spring i wouldn't go for a shock made for more than 0-2" lift otherwise you will bottom out the shocks and damage them. A set of air lift springs will help keep the rear in check at 30-45psi on stock springs

Lee Tie so I finish the lift o the front and the rear and everything came out good but at 65 MPH I get vibration on my steering wheel any ideas of what could cause that

@@isacur1027 always start with the cheapest and easiest things first check all your lugs ..then tire pressure ..and check tires for cupping or out of roundness or out of balance. if that all checks out then id check the break rotors and go over all the bolts and nuts of everything you installed to make sure you didn't leave anything loose..

Honestly I just removed the original bumper cut if flat off like a frontier and removed all the factory supports then made the two main tabs coming off the front of the frame using cardboard cut outs to get me the shape cut those tabs out first and installed them then went from there .. i will be doing a bumper on my wife's tundra so ill try and make a how to so maybe it will help others like your self..

2.5” lift built by me ..35’s on stock wheels.

The stock springs are way to soft the armada springs I'm running are a little stiffer and a little taller given the shocks I'm running the ride is extremely good. Took a while to find a shock that would work with the armada springs because the armada shock angle is different than ours... the shocks I'm running now are in preparation for a rear sas using leaf springs..

Lee Tie so I can’t use my factory shock if I put in an armada spring? And I saw you relocated your shock also. Or did you take the lower control arm from one?

I’m doing some 33in tires and a new 3in lift full suspension and saw the armada spring as an option for the rear

@@garbinsgarage you might be able to run a rancho 9000's in the stock location but I found that most shocks that fit in there are a little short and the valving is kinda soft to balance out the springs..I would do a spacer lift in the rear with air ride bags added to the stock springs and a decent shock in the stock location to get you started I've run 35's on stock rear suspension just requires cutting off stuff that the tire might come in contact with..lol 33's are no problem..minor timing in the front..

@@garbinsgarage a lot of guys run a drop bracket set up in the rear 2inch is common my buddy runs a 4inch set up

The antenna is mounted to the front passenger side of the bumper because it helps gauge or locate visually where the front bumper is from the driver location like when parking or on trails.

All driver. Just kidding. 99% of the trails I run are well traveled and no more than a class 3 ...running 35's and the amount of wheel travel I have is more than enough for where I usually go. If I did more remote locations or a lot harder trails I'd definitely add a winch change my shock mount locations and possibly spring rates but I've decided to build something else now so ..

No lockers on my pathfinder’s and I ran stock diffs. 0 issues on 35’s Vic runs a lokka brand locker in the front of his “pathy” and it works pretty good

@@theclan4adventures is the diff strong enough for a lokka? Or would you not recommend it? I just got an 08 v6 pathy so I’m trying to build it up

@@wadesafool the weak link is the cv joint. The trick with wheeling a vehicle that has traction control is to be smooth on the throttle and avoid hitting the brakes or smashing the gas while going over or through an obstacle be smooth and consistent with the throttle and use low range whenever possible does your pathfinder have vsc? And hill descent assist?

@@theclan4adventures it has vdc and ABLS, no hill descent though, would it be best to just buy a winch instead since this vehicle isn’t built to handle lockers? And how do I limit breakages? Is 33in tires too big for stock axles? What about 32s?

@@wadesafool 35’s is fine with stock diffs 33’s even better it can handle lockers they are just priced too high for my taste.. you would be surprised where a stock r51 can go with a decent set of tires and good driver

4.0 v6 gas. We don’t have the diesel in the states ..Nissan jerks.

@@theclan4adventures Lol

Only "slightly"(using this term loosely) better than a standard minivan.. lol

Let me guess, you have a shitty Chrysler Jeep?

@@M-to-the-J lmao no I had a pathfinder, buddy called it a glorified mini van in the comments of another video, also gimme and old Cherokee and I’ll put anything in the dirt

My instagram is THECLAN4ADVENTURES I sold this pathfinder awhile ago I have talked to the new owner and it’s still going strong recently..my white r51 had 280k and I’m sure Vicks “pathy” is well over 250k or more these days I have a few videos coming up and an update on Vicks r51 if you have any questions about pathfinders feel free to hit me up anytime
