Just picked up a 1995 Pathfinder SE, been looking for a nice one for a while. Had a 1987 Pathfinder a couple years ago and loved that thing, but always kept it pretty close to stock. This one is going to be a little different. Bought it less than a week ago, already wired up some fog lights (gonna be swapping those out for some KC long range slim lights pretty quick), got a 3" body lift I plan on installing tomorrow if the weather is decent, made the rear seats "quick release" with wire lock pins and got a 4" thick foam mattress for the back. Eventually I'd like to SAS this thing, but for now I'll probably just crank the torsion bars/JGC springs till I gather up the needed parts. In the next week when I get around to refilling my mig gas I plan on relocating the spare closer to the passenger side of the carrier, and mounting a gas can on the drivers side. When money allows (or when one comes along cheap enough) I'll be adding a roof basket. Basically I want this thing to be a daily driven expidition style rig that I can sleep in for extended periods.
Well that was more than I planned on writing, hopefully I can learn a thing or two here from you all.

As it sits today.

Thats a clean Pathy! Welcome to the board!

one of the thinkgs I did for sleeping in my pathfider a while back was to drill out the hinge pins for the rear seat cushions and replace them with a hit pin like this:

that way I could remove the cushions and scoot towards the front of the truck for about 2 feet of extra leg room.  cheers
