hi welcome to northwest off-road i am dan and this is my 2004 nissan pathfinder se it's my main rig
for leading runs about 20 a year i bought it about four years ago and today we're gonna do a review
of all of the modifications i've done on it there's quite a few so hang on tight let's go
and first thing you can see is the nice bumper obviously on my first welding project it's a
diy bumper for xj the jeep xj with some modifications with the wings there to
help it uh lift it up and also lower down the winch and also give it some more width
so that's all custom it's got a nilight light into it it's also got a nice light bar across the top
and it's nilight as well i believe it's got a winch inside there it's a
smittybilt 9500 with a synthetic line on the front two is the custom grille painting that's got nicks
on it with some nice quality electrical tape to hold that on there gotta fix that
um other customization is the eyelids or brows you want to call them have been painted
new headlights new light bulbs and insiders too so
looking on the front you can also see there's a snorkel navarro snorkel that's a d21 snorkel
and on the side over here an antenna is a alpha defense antenna for the radio
come down below i got a custom skid plate
for the bumper and also a lower skid plate which has been well used for the suspension
extending from the front as well and the bumper is this is the air unit underneath here has
been very chopped down and uh some plastic and some metal work to kind of hold it on
to keep the splash guards on i like to keep those on to keep the water out from underneath
the hood or getting wherever you don't want it to go same thing on the other side i still have
on this side it's down further it's because the wash reservoir is still in there again just using
some metal i'm trying to kind of keep that up and tight while keeping this splash guard still on
looking underneath the hood there's a lot going on in here we'll start off in the front and work
our way back first thing i see is custom horns the horns that came on the pathfinder were pretty weak
and those need to be changed so i put in a little bit deeper horns there's one here of course one
behind the battery looking down closer in here you can see there's a couple custom coolers and these
are actually transmission coolers there's two in series one here and one over here i bypass the
radiator entirely and looking down further you can see this little radiator cooler down there that's
actually for the power steering other repairs i've done is of course the power screws the power valve
screws inside the engine also i had a new valve cover put it on as the previous one was leaking
k&n air filter is in there electronics wise we have a blazer over here on the left to control
the lights with a power cut off switch cuts off power to the blazer also cuts off power to the
winch also underneath the hood i have iridium spark plugs and also a pa speaker right there
right there for the cb look at that front suspension
you can first see i have a four inch subframe drop my pines and spines
up at the strut towers you can see those as well there
the shock and spring struts are basically ome hds
you can see i have no front sway bar i had sway bar links on it before
or disconnecting sway bar links on it before and since i made this a
permanent trail rig i've removed those and the sway bar entirely
so in the front differential there's a lokka it's a lunchbox locker made in australia
it's got warn manual locking hubs on it as you can see it's got also a missing link way underneath
there you can probably see it that's a temporary missing link that was um put on our first
modification probably and uh that will come off when i add an extended skid plate in the future
the braking system is actually all power stop the z36 kit i think it's called um power stop
front and back with extended brake lines looking at the side you can see it have 35 inch tires
these are milestar patagonia 315/70/17 tires they are on helo he 901 these are the satin type wheels
two different colors black kind of kind of matches the vehicle a little bit
he 901 satin black wheels these are minor 12 offset with a one inch spacer as well
those are 17 by nine inch they fit well in the wheel well of course it's been trimmed
drastically as you can see right there that's all been taken back to make space for it and
turning from the side to you can also see the custom rock sliders i built those custom
they stick out pretty well in a pretty nice angle
coming to the back you can also see that this has been massively trimmed out too up underneath here
this is all just just a shell to make room you can see it's rubbing just a hair there
but that's all room for the back 35 inch tire as well suspension in the back i got new links
going to the back there the shocks are bilstein 51 series 33185569
the springs are land rover 9448 with a two inch spacer up top inside is a fibest bump stop
like a spacer two inch spacer you can't see it but it's up in there and lower it down
and you can see i have no rear sway bar again that was taken off i had a sway bar on there and
then i adjusted it once and then when i raised it again i just took the sway bar off as opposed to
creating new extended ones another thing you can see is i have a custom panhard drop
that's dropped about five and a half inches and that makes the panhard pretty level when I load
it's up just a little bit now but under load it's pretty darn level extended brake line in the back
also a fuel filter has been changed too k&n fuel filter right up in there
here's another review of the panhard drop also inside the rear axle is the blokka lunchbox locker
in the back you can see i've got a trailer hitch and i do have the original spare
that's something that needs to be fixed in the future it's like a real real size spare
looking further at the back i don't have a rear bumper yet hopefully soon but i got two antennas
i got a fire stick four foot it's for the cb the other side is the ham one it's also about
four feet tall and they work great for the plenty above the vehicle get great reception
with those on the top i got nice roof rack custom made extended out with some rebar and i also have
a custom mount with another nilight light that's a much longer curved light so that's the top rack
looking inside the vehicle first thing i have is a three camera rear view mirror one of the camera
faces forward one faces in the rear and one faces inside this one up here is the one i'm recording
on now as you can see down below i got a nice head unit here came with the pathfinder very nice ham
radio it's a yeasu ftm 3200d two meter radio and also a president johnny iii cb there on the side
blazer control unit for the lights that's it right there it's all wireless it controls my lights
another modification in the interior as all led lighting front and back these as well i did not
do leds in the dash maybe in the future another repair i've done is actually a fuel pump and the
sending unit down right in there so there it is that's all the modifications and repairs i've done
some obvious things in the future as you can see definitely a rear bumper and a tire carrier that's
definitely on the list next other modifications you can't see is a transfer case gear the current
one's a 2.6 i have a 3.9 to put in there so that'll be the next modification as well there
is a transfer case that's going to come out of there we're going to put a new gear in there
another modification i do it's a breather custom breather that one is a stock one i definitely like
to get something better on there that's another modification that's coming in the future another
modification is maybe a little bit more clearance in the front i got a little bit of i'm just about
level i could probably raise another inch or so so i might do that to get a little bit more clearance
underneath so we're talking "heavier dutier" more heavy duty springs or maybe a spacer we'll see
also what might go with it is the track motive cvs the extended cv axles that might be a nice
pairing as well so there you have it that's some modifications and repairs i've done
on my 2004 nissan pathfinder let me know what you think if you have questions or comments
if you'd like to see another video on how i worked up some of these projects let me know
i'm happy to make more videos and got some coming in the future specifically for the
snorkel and also the front bumper how those are done so much for coming and thanks for watching
you
