Misc Upgrades and Repairs

My purpose for this vehicle is expedition style camping in remote areas, so it must be able to handle long distance logging road terrain with the occasional romp through mud and rock gardens. Nothing to crazy but it must be self-sufficient, functional and reliable. This is sometimes a problem because parts are expensive and im really cheap:) Lucky I turn wrenches for a living.

Pathfinder needs a lift. Trailmaster 3" body lift.

I have issues with this lift kit:

1) Bolts for the rear mounts were wrong (smaller diameter)
2) Steering shaft was a bastard to extend
3) If you do this lift remember to remove the safety strap around the driveshaft before you do anything!!!!

But it was all worth it after the first road test!!! WOOHOO!!

Ever wonder what behind the dash looks like? This is it when I did my heater core and found out it was just a loose hose clamp that was leaking

New rubber!! BF Goodrich Mud Terrains 31X10.5R15 I was going to go with the 32" All Terrains but I went with these instead and im glad I did. They fit perfect with the body lift, they're more aggressive, and looks better without altering any driving characteristics like speedo inaccuracy, gears and fuel milage.

Fabricated this 2nd battery mounting bracket under the vehicle (this mounting position will only work with a 3 inch body lift and GM style side post battery) My plan is to only wire the starter to this secondary battery to ensure a guaranteed start even when the primary battery is completely drained. The blue thing is the battery isolater (not hooked up yet)
