The Nissan Path

OK the body lift is on and I think it looks pretty good!
Keeps the body 3" farther off the ground for better clearance.
Can't really notice the frame showing underneath, very muck like a JK.

Rear bumper isn't completed yet, hopefully by the end of this week.

I know a lot of readers who view this don't do much off-roading with their trucks, but for those that see some dirt, here are some additional thoughts...

I noticed the SkidRow skid plates line up perfectly with the front end now.
A rock's eye view:


It improves the approach and departure angles as well.

Driving-wise, there is no difference since the 3" body lift only brings the center of gravity up an 1 1/2".

I have to admit, being up higher is nice too!
Definitely recommend!

Now looking into 35's as the 33's look small now!

Do you have any install info/specs on your LED light bar?

Super Easy!
I dremelled out the front plastic and my 20" LED light bar fit perfectly in there.
I used a 1 1/2" piece of aluminum to attach it to the front plastic piece.
It actually holds pretty tight and I added 2 pieces of rubber on the top to keep it from vibrating, but not really needed.



It's been there for almost a year and hasn't moved!

Just posting some updates to this build.

Got a 35" Duratrac on the spare rim.
That is a big tire!


Also did some clean up around the rear bumper.
Trimmed the plastic wheel wells and got rid of a few brackets.



I'll hopefully have some photos of the NEW rear bumper by next week!
Crossing fingers!!
And maybe a few other "never-before-seen" mods!

Yeah I'm surprised they allowed you to mount that tire on that wheel.


325 65 18 I'm assuming.

Yeah, that tire is fairly wide. Slightly wider than a typical 12.5, but albeit a smidgen shorter too.

Me too
I was expecting to have to buy different rims. So I get to save a little money and reuse them for now. Someday I'll get some cool ones!

I did pickup my "other" package today:

It's an aluminium Poison Spider louvered hood to cover up the dents on my hood caused by falling ice a few years back. I got the aluminum so it'll bend a little easier toward the front of the hood.
All I have to do is paint it, cut some holes in the hood and screw it on.
I'm hoping it turns out ok!

So I finally got the rear bumper made and installed by Smith Offroad (http://www.smithoffroad.com/) who did a fantastic job start to finish!
Here are a few pics...


It fits pretty close to the body.


Moved the license plate down so it wouldn't be covered by the rear tire.


Here's a more recent pic with the 35" tires on.

Lookin' sick!

Other than body lift, any other lift?

Lookin' sick!

Thanks!
Not done yet

Other than body lift, any other lift?

Yes a 2" suspension lift.
(see my sig for the assortment of mismatched products )

If you don't mind me asking how much was the rear bumper? I'm shopping around looking for different options.

WoW great looking Pathy!

Looking at this R51 more that's exactly how I would want mine set up. Unfortunately my pathy's ride hight has to stay stock for work. I have a collapsible cart that I transport stuff with that is the perfect for stock hight.

Where there's a will, there's a way!

Where did you get the body lift? What brand? I don't see the make or anything I n your signature.
