Pathfinder/Hardbody

[theking]

I got tired of of the Pathy so I tossed the old body and swapped it for a Hardbody Cab.

[Ryan Gee]

I was going to do that to mine.. nice work bro! Looking forward to seeing it at Moab.! HInt!

[tbecktold]

Sweet! I've thought about doing that with an excab or finding an '87 Pathy E to throw my cab on.

I really like that front fender trimming too




What's your frame height?

[itsme1738]

hey king got any pics of that long arm thats hiding in the pic?

[JBDevega]

thats pretty cool.

[theking]

Thanks dudes. I'll get some pics of the rear links. Frame height is 21.5"

I'll try to keep it long enough to hit GONE. :D

[Ryan Gee]

Hey... you don't have to install dents! Well maybe a few...:D

[Alpine Spirit]

[itsme1738]

you turned it into a 3 link?....interesting....no bind?....wow!

[theking]

Yup. Only way to go! I moved the one cross member forward to make the upper link a little longer and moved the lower link mounts forward too. I used the 3 link calculator and got some good Anti squat and instant center numbers. Seems to work great. lower links are 29.5", upper is 20" with the axle side 11.5" above the axle centerline. panhard is 9" above the centerline on the axle. :beer:

[tbecktold]

Frame height is 21.5"

That is LOW. Very nice!

[itsme1738]

WOW i might just try that,how are its road manners....this is my dd

[theking]

I really think out boarding the springs to under the frame rails is the way to go for a DD. It corners awesome without swaybars. Handles everything great.

Sometimes i wish it sat a little higher. lol

[theking]

What yall think of the stacks? Cool? Dumb? I don't know?

[itsme1738]

I like them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[itsme1738]

and by the way are you keeping your high lift jack in your frame?
we all would like pics of that!

Ditto. The stacks look freaking sweet!!!!

[Sully4x4]

x3, it makes that nissan look meaner than before. Keep 'em

[Chainsaw]

Im not crazy about em but Im a picky asshole. The question is do you like them .

[Alex Topousis]

no offence but definitely not my style. thats why this hobby is cool though

[theking]

Definitely appreciate the honesty, guys. I thought they would get mixed reviews. Part of me likes them, but maybe they're a little over the top. I would drop them if I had to daily drive the thing. But, it's just fun. :crazy:

[Bill Potter]

Not my cup of tea....but the rest of the soccer runner conversion looks great!

[CurleyMan]

Bad ass new rig.... Great work as always. I'd keep the skinny stacks I think they fit. I'll probably end up with a uni stack on my junk sometime soon. So if your ever by a scale and decide to weigh the new rig please let me know.

[itsme1738]

pics of your jack?

[Chainsaw]

pics of your jack?

Dude! What kinda of guy do you think he is!?:rolleyes:

[theking]

[itsme1738]

[itsme1738]

where are your shocks mounted to?.....king

[theking]

upper mounts were stock location with 12" shocks

[itsme1738]

[theking]

That x-member was for the upper link. The shock mounts are on the fuel tank x-member. That didn't get moved.

[itsme1738]
