hey all....new to this forum, but not new to enthusiast forums... member of supra and mazda3 forums.

But this is all about "old slutty" my 99 pathfinder with 320,000km 5 speed with lots of rusty spots but otherwise perfect working order. It shares the driveway with a 96 5 speed and a 95 5 speed pathfinders.

Mostly here for ideas on improving and finding parts.

I live in Campbell River, on Vancouver island off the west coast of Canada.

hey all thanks for the warm welcome...here are some pictures...

Quick note to all the haters that want to comment....I dont care what others think... my nissan is used to get shit done, it has a lot of miles and is not pretty and I am fine with that...I realize there is the proper way to do things and for this vehicle good enough is all I am going for... I have a show car you can nit pick if you really need...haha

Things I have done without pictures....
timing belt and water pump
OEM equivalent replacement exhaust system from cats back
Large hella fog lights and brighter PIAA bulbs for them and headlights.
New clutch and new crank position sensor (I am sure one of you will laugh at the correlation)

most pictures with summer wheels, heavy duty e-load 245/75r16 as I do a lot of driving on roads made of sharp blast rock. stock tires from a heavy duty full size pickup.

-22 Celsius, parked in the shade for two weeks, started right away as always

red neck trailer package... new springs, shocks, and 1 inch coil spacers.

These are located between the spare wheel and the frame...they make awesome wheel chucks.

Had a gnarly rust spot letting water into my door... another redneck fix... spare metal from an old washing machine...

next on list, new front end....struts, ball joints, inner and outer tie rods, possibly new springs and one inch spring spacers.

Here is the purple 96

Here is the blue 95
