WD21 Pathfinder Overland Build Update | Trans, Lift, Tires 

Subscribed! Been wondering if you kept this rig, looking forward to some good WD21 content, there's not enough out there! I have an 87 2-door Aussie version with the 4cyl. Best car in the world.

Just picked up a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder, 4 door 4 wheeler with 33” under it. 5 speed of course! You lace and josh have inspired me to show my daughter the landscape we live in! I recently overcame a nasty alcohol addiction and took up over-landing, in part because of your videos. The excitement you all share is something I’ve been lacking! Thank you for your videos! Keep them coming! - theflooringguy

Hi everybody!! From Phoenix AZ Happy with my stock 99 pathfinder (6 mo. Ago) Was looking for a jeep, but found this wartank which is economic to daily drive and for fun... Actually my fiance lives in Vegas, hope you can show me some trails up there...

Great video. I have a 1990 Pathfinder SE 4X4 with the sport package (automatic) and it looks just like yours right down to the color. I purchased it from the original owner's estate a while back and it's a one of a kind. Original owner was a single woman in AZ who rarely drove it and kept it garaged and dealer serviced it's entire life. It has 51,400 original miles, zero rust and looks like new inside and out with stacks of service records, original window sticker, original floor mats, etc. Had it completely serviced, timing belt done, drained/changed all fluids, hoses and belts and put BF Goodrich TAKO2's on it. It's so sweet in it's original condition that I probably won't do much more to it. I liked your advice about judging the capabilities before doing any mods and this truck works well for me as just as it is. I love this little truck but will probably sell it because I have too many vehicles right now and am mooching driveway space from neighbors plus I rarely drive it and it deserves to be driven. Looking forward to more videos on this great little truck.

If you're going to use a terrain tamer (outback)clutch think twice. It's great for grip ... But it's hell on your box as a everyday driver. It's so good at grip I have to double clutch my old Girl so it don't grind the gears. And my box only had 90,000kms on it when I upgraded the clutch to do a big trip towing a DIY trailer (1300kgs). As for spring upgrade ... I used 2003 Isuzu trooper HD 50mm raised spring's. I have my 2nd battery (120amp) in rear along with spare,air compressor, recovery gear , 45litre fridge. The car has a twin arm steel rear bar and like I said tow 1300kg trailer (fully loaded) When I do long trips I put on two boxes on the arms ... They Carry 4 Jerry cans of fuel, 2 of water..... (80 litres of fuel 40 litres of water.)

I have a 2004 pathfinder been kind of worried about how it would do in the rock in Wyoming and Colorado. Glad your videos kinda helped me

Id like to have something like this some day! There is just something with these vehicles (90s pathfinders, 4runners..ect) that you just dont get today.... other than a manual transmission lol. Great Video!

Just watched your other newer update vid and happy to see you still have her. Simple engine mods I have done - e3 spark plugs, K&N Air Filter, get rid of the pea shooter to the air box and the little plastic boot into the fender., remove the rubber shield behind the driver side head light for fresher air, headers are still available, silicone blue or red wires, fresh fuel filter cap and rotor and timing belt, 1030 Valvoline mixed with Lucas Oil additive. Do water pump while your in there. Last but not least keep on wrenching.

Good on you for going with the build. I had a 93 SE that had the auto trans go out and I got rid of it. I regret it. There is something endearing about these rigs. The view out is amazing and they are roomy enough inside. Hope the build goes smoothly!

I love my 92 square dash. Bought it from first owner. Lifted with a calmini 4 in. Enkei 15in with 33s. I have taken this vehicle to some trails that I have never thought about making out from. I’ve had ppl watch me with bigger and tougher rigs go up trails that they wouldn’t even dare. Best 1800 I have ever spent. Oo let’s not forget the $150 timing service that was done the first day of spent ship. Unlimited Tahoe, Yosemite, Utah trips, and also takes me to work from Monday to Friday’s.

I have a 93 SE with a vg33e swap. Plenty of torque. Please keep us updated with the new engine swap. Best of luck man!

I loved my 2 door 88 pathfinder till it got wrecked I personally can't wait to see what all you do to it

Congratulations on your truck, this really beautiful friend

Keep us posted!! I'm looking forward to seeing your results. I've been up and down RU-vid and i'm glad i came across you. I have a few of the same concerns with my 95 XE-V6, however i just dropped some money on a decent roof set up to accommodate for two dogs lol. Ive got a few trips planned here this fall, if I have some time for tire carrier mods i'll definitely share my experience with you if you are interested?

You can get a new ECM for those things. Gives you a bump in power without sacrificing reliability.

Man I can't wait to see whats gonna happen in the next few weeks!!!!!!!

I have a 1989 Nissan pathfinder 2 door with a vg30i engine

Im waiting to see the results and how the car will be lifted. Im from Saudi Arabia and i got 92 2 door wd21 with ka24e 4 cylinder manual transmission it is good engine but very low power and it drive really slow. Hopefully soon i will be able to get the vg33 on it and also do the lift. Nice video and thank you for sharing details on build keep going 👍👍

Im pretty new to wd21 and im wondering if the year of the grand Cherokee Matters for the coil springs? And also were can i find those awnings ? Awesome vid

doing the same build up for the exact same reasons.i love to know if yours will 4 wheel burn out when all said and done,looking forward to it.

💯💯🚙🚙🔝🔝

What years did you use for the suspension?

I'll be looking for updates!

what year bronco and f350 did you get them from ? assuming 90s ?

I’ve got 2 of these 1st gen pathfinders, one i got from my grandfather, it’s a 1988 4x4 5 speed with some front end damage but it runs/drives and the other is a 1989 4x4 automatic with a sunroof/power windows etc. but it’s sat since 2006 and has some type of fuel issue and no title. Not sure which one is more worth it to fix up

Can you supply a link or even just the brand etc for the awnings you put on the Pathy?

You mention wanting to swap in an "LS", but too difficult. What is this "LS"? (I'm guessing not the same as a limited slip dif?)

We’re you get the brackets for the led pods
