|  Nissan Pathfinder, 12mm axles and more
Here is something I have been collecting parts for, for a LONG time now...I finally have just about everything I need to complete it. I finally got it rolling so I took a few pictures. I didnt mention this build at all, hence the name, only Unimoger knew of it really but he didnt even know what it was. I put the Trekker back on the back burner because I need help brazing the tubing (need somone to hold the tubing while I braze it together) I started bending up the tubing for the bed cage and got frustrated trying to hold it together and braze all by myself...so I decided to put this together in the mean time. Here are the specs: -NIB Kyosho Nissan Pathfiner body painted metallic silver with a "flat" black hood (still have to tint the windows) -Powder coated Bruiser chassis -Modified Bruiser leaf springs (one leaf removed) -HPI Goe landers on Bruiser wheels, which will recieve RCKJeep rock rings 3rd gens -Custom front wheel spacers to even out the track -Custom front shock mounts by JUGGSTERR (not installed yet) -Custom rear quad shock mount lowers and cross member by JUGGSTERR -Bruiser Interior (in the middle of my extreme scale interior build up) -Bruiser axles with ball bearings and shims -Rear hubs on all 4 corners -RC4wd.com Front servo mount with Hitec high torque servo -Pede transmission with 55 turn lathe -Pede sliders with steal yokes      Thats it for now, I dont know if I really feel like doing any cage work on this one...im to lazy  Maybe just an interior cageMike |

Only Mogger knew about it, heh? LOL. That looks good Mike! I wasn't so sure about the Pathfinder body at first but it actally looks really cool on the Bruiser frame. I like the look with the stock wheels and the Geolanders. The wide look makes it looks like a dune cruiser or something. Great job!

Where did you find that body? Add some burgundy and it'd be just like my dad's 1:1. Thanks, Jay |

 If I could figure out how to narrow the wheels and keep the internal lock rings I would :-( guess the wider stance has to stay for now... MIke | |

Oops I hope you didn't get me wrong about the wide look. I really like that look on that truck!

Awesome. Super clean. I'm warming up to the look of geolanders slowly.

|         Well I almost finished up the Pathy this weekend, I had alot of free time with no parents or G/F around, kinda nice , I got the shocks mounted, got the tranmission installed as well as the drive shafts and after ALOt of careful measurement, I got the body mounted . I also installed a MSD high lift jack from Ben, I think it looks cool on the back of the tire rack. I am still thinking about a MSD roof rack but I am nervous about drilling holes in the roof...I might have to look at the one on my 4 runner and see if there is another way to do it. I was going to install RCK Jeeps 3rd gen rings but they were a little bit to "thick" since the wheels arent narrowed, so I opted for some JUGGSTERR rings instead...they are still a little bit to "thick" but they'll have to do for now.I am thinking of taking it back apart and painting the axles black and getting the rest of the suspension peices powdercoated black. I also built up an interior for it, I just have to make some custom mounts for it. All thats really left after that is to install an ESC (tekin rebel 2) and a reciever. Action shots soon, probably take it to "the rock"  Mike |
