Since my MK3 is a summer car, I need a winter beate. Since I like Pathys and they've always worked well for me I was thinking of getting one for next winter. Since they all come with the big 3.0L V6...The Upside 150HP and 180ftlbs of Torque...mileage...High teens low 20s lol.
I though adding a AAZ into it would make it pretty good on MPG but I would need to modify the motor a Bit to get the same amount of torque at least...
What I want to know. If there any kits out there like there is for the Samurai?
-
highly doubtful. you will probably have to make your own like Dillenger1. he did a good job on his. really knows what hes doing.
-
I'm going to have to do some searching...I thought I should post a few pics of the last Pathfinder I owned...I sold it to buy my First MK3 lol

why do people always try and wheel the deepest mud with the crappiest street tires?

Michelen LTX All Terrains, They were great tires if i wasn;t going to play in deep mud...I got stuck because I sucked water into the intake and flooded the motor out...and I went thru that hole many times before.
The Next Pathfinder is getting a set of Pro Comp Mud and Snow Tires ;D
-
Get a
Fronterror Frontera instead ;D oh wait... no, no don't get one. They break a lot and easily :(
My plan was to use the Frontera as a mudding toy for the cold wet windy British winters summers.
What drive train will you use to keep it 4wd? Syncro/Rallye?
-
I might Bring over the diesel drivetrain for it, Depending on the cost of it.

They don;t make an adapter for a Pathfinder. I'm going to have to keep doing some searching lol

And a snorkel I hope :D :D

Yup its a must...My first Pathy had a snorkel and a winch...and I manage to get it stuck...and roll it ::)

there is a company out there that makes the samurai conversion , that also makes a adapter plate for any toyota transmision that uses a 22r engine .
assuming your front diff sits on the same side as a toyota , it would just be a matter of swapping the tranny transfer case , then fabbing up some drive shafts .

no, honestly i wasnt talking about you. just my general experiences. any idiots that get stuck with street tires and their own stupidity, when i pull those ones out, i use just 2 wheel drive. "here, since your rig cant get muddy on its own, heres some mud for your paint job."
oh yea, pro comp mudders and maxxis big horns work pretty damn good. so do wildcat EXT's, but you cant get them no more.

Get a terrano, like this one:

I don't know how many JDM's you have out that way but here (west coast) they are everywhere.
2.7td is much more appropriate for that size vehicle and most of these imports are in pretty good shape. The RHD is no issue in case that concerns you.
You could probably souce just a drivetrain for cheaper and less work than modding an aaz to work.

God, I hate you guys... ;)
Down south here in the land of the free, we would be thrown in Guantanamo Bay prison for trying to import a truck like that.
Our only option is something that's 25 years old or more. Some diesel Land Cruisers are making their way here from Oz and NZ finally, and the occasional Land Rover.
As of this year, the first Syncros are turning 25, hopefully we'll start getting some interesting ones from Europe.
Has anyone considered converting an Isuzu? I always liked the mk1 Troopers, (there are some diesel versions floating around), and the Amigo/Rodeo are decent little trucks.

JDM rodeos come in diesel, and low and behold they were made as far back as 84.
