Title: R50 From Texas Yall
Post by: 01silvapathy on January 13, 2011, 07:36:50 PM
Hey guys!  Im Andrew, a 21 year old college student majoring in Forest Wildlife Mgt.  I love to wheel, ski, disc golf, wrench, all sorts of outdoors stuff. 

I drive 01 Pathfinder LE 3.5.....here are the mods so far
-6.5in Sub Frame Drop Lift (4in blocks,4.5in strut spacers, 3in coil spacers/ac 2in coils f/r)
-Custom made panhard drop
-4 Hella Roof Lights on custom mount
-285 75 166 BFG AT's on Stock wheels
-1.5in  Wheel Spacers
-WARN Manual Hubs
-JWT Pop Charger
-Painted (wheels, badges, grille ect)

Future mods
-Extended rear links from Rugged Rocks (help re center my rear axle)
-Custom Wound 6in coils to help level (front fenders now measure 43, rears are 39 LOL)
-Custom Made F/R Bumpers and sliderss
-Offset wheels to run 35x12.5 KM2's
-Xterra 4.9's to turn 35's lol
-Stereo System

I have done all the work myself with friends help too ofcourse.  Love doing it and its a labor of love!!  Yall have some sweeet rigs and RuggedRocks has some awesome products for Nissans!  I  just hate being a broke college student, its hard enough to fuel this thirsty beast :D

Onto the pics, it has really come a long way

Looking really good. What part of Tx are you in?  Great choice of major. If I could do t all over again I'd do something like that.

The Dallas Fort Worth area, Denton County to be specific.  We are about 20 minutes north of dfw airport.  I go to school  in East Texas...in the first established town in Texas...Nacogdoches.  Stephen F. Austin  is a great school for my major ranked 3rd in the nation for forestry, big old growth pine forests all around campus.  3 National forests within half an hour of school..along with a  wheeling park (shiloh ridge) a river to fish and two lakes many ponds....tons of public land to hunt as well  :cheers:

I know alot of yall are from Cali and I have some background there as well.  My dad worked for United Airlines and worked out of LA  for two years...lived in LA for two summers.  Then my dad got a job in sandiego in the airline buisness.  Lived in Carlsbad for a year my dad did for two.  Sadly I spent an entire summer  away from the pathy which was parked in a friends pasture here in texas and didnt move for 3 months :(  But we are all back in Texas now :D
