Here is my 1995 Nissan Pathfinder I bought for $300.00. It was on its way to the junkyard. The rear end had fallen off, ran like shit, looked sad. I have had 4 nissan hardbodys and saw potential, hey for 300 bucks what could I lose?

Here it is 1 month later (still under construction)

Its frame was rotted out, there were holes in the floor, locked in 4wd and it would barely run.

So far I have cut out the old frame rot and replaced it with a custom box frame. Made custom coilover front and rear suspension with a 3" lift. Added an additional 4" of body lift. New brakes, bearings, some bushings. New body mounts, relocated PS res, extended some lines for the lift. Welded in plates in the floor.

Replaced timing belt, water pump all fluids and filters. Painted everything up while I was in there.

Built a Safari rack, 6 Off road lights, brushbar off a toyota tacoma, made a bumper out of 5/8" sheet steel. Thats one strong combo, I have allready taken down a 15 ft tall tree with the front bumper. Custom 5/8" Double rolled steel rear bumper that has allready driven through a 8 foot fence, and fence post (by mistake)

Now I have gutted the interior.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


I am fabbing a complete custom interior, 15" rear, 7" front LCD monitors.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


Painted 3 rear windows, reverse camera, crushed velvet/leather interior. It will only seat 2 once done, the rear compartment will be a bed, seperate heater TV, DVD, rear camera on either screen.

Here is some more progress with the interior. Its starting to get boxed up slowly. I am packing in a ton of insulation EVERYWHERE. These trucks arn't known to be the quietest, but this one will.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


A little "off roading in the backyard" I have some REAL tires for it, just havn't got them mounted yet. I will keep updating as I go. Its been a month, and I figure I have another month to go to finish the interior and body. Also adding another 2" of lift in the rear.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


Here the rear doors are redone (no the red on the door jam isnt gonna stay).

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


Here is the passanger side all insulated and upholstered. Matching blue led's on both sides light up the crushed velvet nicely.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


Here is the crappy (but works great) DVD player I bought, flush mounted.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


Here is the extended floor frame stuffed with more insulation.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


All covered up, with access panel for relays, rear of DVD and power distribution blocks.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


2 layers of padding so its a comfy area to chill.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


Now its time for the front half of the interior.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


Here is the new center console with switches for interior accessories, and the off road lightd. Also has a digital voltmeter, and battery maintainer housed under it.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


Here it is semi finished, with the 12" subwoofer.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder


Here is the rear end with the new carpet.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder

Here is the dash dyed in light grey with crushed velvet accent.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder

Got the wench in!! Welded in a super oversized square steel bar and welded the wench bracket to it. It finishes off the bumper.

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder

Here is a shot of the rear entry somewhat finished off

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder

Here is the dash area done, just have to make a leather wrapped panel for the center console

tcrote5516's 1995 Nissan Pathfinder

Here is a shot of the exterior with its temporary two tone paint and the front bumper all done and DIESEL!

Isn't she nasty!

These are pretty cheap off road lights, but they are suprizingly bright, I was very impressed with how good a job they do.

Sweet Pathfinder man. Love it. I'm looking to modify the front bumper area, where did you come by that brush bar? I'm looking for something similar.

Nice job on the vehicle! I'm particularly impressed with the rear frame repair. I'm sure there are a number of members that would be interested in detailed instructions to rebuild that frame. Cheers!

Yeah got a '94 and have that same frame rot where the gas lines run. i sprayed some rhino lining type stuff on the rest of it to kinda keep it from spreading. I like that brush guard, I don't know if I want a brush guard or just a steel bumper. Is that brush guard pretty tough?
