Hi everyone, really love overlanding and have been wanting to get into it for a long time. A year ago I bought a 98 Pathfinder and began work on it. It is a solid un-rusted rig and I felt like it would be a good platform for my needs. I lifted it fitted it with 33X10.50 Grabber X3's and installed manual hubs, I got the truck for $500 with some problems that were easily fixed by me so that was a plus. I am currently repacking a LSD for the rear and might do a lunch box for the front, also plan on getting a wench bumper for the front as i already have a wench lol. Last year I went on a voyage in my untested truck from northwest Washington down to Reno NV. I hit some really great trails through China Hat, OR. and throughout northern NV. This is my daily and has proven to be super reliable.

Great rig and welcome . A little advice , if you plan on driving in the snow and ice think twice about a non selectable locker in the front . You will turn and it will want to keep going straight .

Howdy @Danfinny my Northwest Washington neighbor. I'm up in Ferndale and always looking for more friends to join myself and the other OB members on the trails. There are a number of great overlanding events occurring throughout the PNW, so I recommend checking out the Overland Bound NorthWest Region forum [link] for meetups. One that I know of and is close by is coming up, the Christmas Tree Run, on December 9th [link]. Even if you can't make that one, events are frequently posted on the Rally Point system [link], so you might want to check that out as well.
