Thanks for all the help on my crap, I wish I had extra room in the shop but just didn't have the room when you needed to do the lift. Also the one time you asked me for help I was just way too busy. Rigs looking good and soon mine will be out of the shop if you every need the lift or whatever.

And when we are out on the trail and people are admiring the rig I can say I helped you on parts of building it

Thanks for the offer! Im sure there will be more that we will need help with, God knows a true wheelin' rig is never REALLY Done!Atleast ours never is ;D true and some of us have never even gotten some projects out of the garage ... its stuffed so far into storage i can barely see the tools falling out of the back of it now , but i am starting the process of empting out storage and did manage to squeeze my way past junk enough to open drivers door and push stuff off the seat so i could sit and dream lol

Well seance I did not go out wheeling today (I am going out to TSF Monday with a guy from work). I went out to the foster lkq today and ripped (i mean ripped the sheet metal apart) on a pathfinder to get the rear tire rack mounts out of the rear corner. got home and went to work. Getting those mounts in the sheet metal is a workout had to do some mods to the brackets to make it work. I also made the exhaust in the rear go up about 2 inch's higher to get it out of the way of damage it was the lowest part in the rear now the gas tank skid plate is. Think I might need to move the rear license plate.

I'm hoping to get a lockright for the rear, make some sliders, A gas can holder for the rear rack, and maybe a front bumper before the trip still. I will be busy right tell time to go. I am thinking about just putting some bent plate on the rockers instead of sliders to keep down weight some but haven't really decided yet.

Went out for a break in run today with one of the guys from work, learned i have to relocate the mudflaps the swampers catch them pretty bad while flexing so i just took them off in tell we were done today, besides that had no problems at all, we ran, university firepower, all of ceder tree, powerline 4b 4c 4d, hoodraiser, both sections of hogsback, and went up bates road. The pathfinder did much better then expected for still being open front and rear.

added gas tank rack, and added real high-lift jack mount, and mounted the cd antenna in a permanent fashion.

I like how the tank is mounted since it doesnt push the tire any further!

Looking good! Did you get a locker for the rear yet? I love the gas can mount. I still need to figure mine out before our trip. I like the ones Chevtech posted triangle ones, but they are $$ and I don't think they will fit my custom rear triangle sections of my tire rack.

I will not get to put in a locker before the trip after my trial run and seeing how things held together I decided a upgrade to the steering was more important. so I got a centerlink that takes care of the problem with the nissan steering system. I have to pick up a good 5/8's drill bit to install it though as I do not have anything over 1/2". I could pick up the locker if I took a little out of our trip money but I don't know if I would have the time to get the steering and the locker in before the trip.

Looks good , now just need to change the date stamp on the camera The date changes every time you turn the camera off it is very annoying and if you turn off the date it turns back on the next time the camera is turned on.

Well I got all the steering out of the pathfinder after work tonight, have 2 finish prepping the pitman arm and idler arm, in the morning then will be putting in the new steering system. The pitman and idler arms were so stuck in there took me 3 times the time it should have to get them out.
