    Patty's shaping up really well! That roof tent is amazing, I wish I could fit one onto my tiny car but it doesn't even properly pull up with a full grocery shop in there, never mind with a roof tent on top 😂 excited to see the inside of the Pathfinder finished, really curious about the hidden water tank, and the kitchen set up! All the best to you, Andy, really enjoy your videos and I hope you'll have as much fun making them for a long time to come ☺️

    When we emigrated frm the UK to western Canada, I got a 2002 Pathfinder 4x4. I absolutely loved her. We don't get a huge amount of snow in western Canada but when we did get it, I felt completely safe. She was big and heavy and very stable. I don't think I slid once while driving in snow. Unfortunately I had a bad accident, causing her to turn over and slide some distance sideways. I was actually uninjured, but had to be cut out by the fire service cutting the roof off. They told me that I was very lucky I was in a Pathfinder as their safety record is second to none. I was very sad to see her be written off. After that I got my Honda Ridgeline 4x4 truck. It's an extended cab. I bought a canopy for the back for the dogs. She's big and heavy and she has all round air bags, but I don't feel quite as safe in her as I did in my Pathfinder which I still miss......

    Great project Andy, I wish you well as you move towards completion. I'm watching video this several months past this original posting date so I will have to check to see the newer videos and see how you have progressed. By the way, that was wonderful music you used on your drive into the fields.Thank you!

    Great build! The Pathfinder and a Toyota 4 runner were recommended to me by my son when I was upgrading from a Subaru Outback. I opted for the 4runner and set about with my build. I put 285 70 r17's on at first, but later changed back to stock size. I'm not too familiar with the Pathfinder, the 4runner has a differential breather on the rear diff and it can, on really deep water crossings, allow water into it, thus the need for a breather relocation. You may want to investigate further. I haven't gotten a roof top tent, as the trails around here Eastern US - West Virginia) are very tight and I think they're top heavy, but there are a lot of them in use.
    My build thus far on Bluto:
    Badland 12k winch
    Badland aluminum winch shackle mount
    Lightbar
    Bilstien 5100 shocks
    Firestone rear air bags
    TSO Incog bumper
    LED front headlights
    LED Fog lights
    LED tailgate lights
    LED reverse lights
    (2) Apache storage cases
    Solidwoodworx rear drawer system
    Rigd sidehack
    Rigd ulultraswing rear tire carrier
    RCI Rock sliders
    RCI front skid plate
    Midland mxt275 radio
    Rough country steel wheels (5)
    Maxi razr 265r70 17 tires (5)
    Auxbeam ditch lights
    Auxbeam 8 gang switch panel
    Molle panels (rear)
    Molle panel (behind seat)
    My Medic first aid kit
    Diehard AGM starter battery
    Optima Yellow Top battery
    CTEK D250SE, 20A, 12V Battery Charger
    NAPA 8'awning
    5lb propane
    various tow straps, tree savers, and soft shackles
    is it done? hope so lol

    @carolewarner101 6 місяців тому +2

    Wow, it's coming along! I love the plans for the inside. Especially if you need to stay in a city a night or two whilst out on an adventure, you can actually stealth camp inside, whereas the tent being opened up would be a bust!

    Great video! Like how this vehicle has progressed overtime. You've added a lot of great modifications. I suggest locker gears for the axels which are great for rocky terrain areas. Can't wait to see what else you strap onto this beast!

  • @paulblubaugh589
    @paulblubaugh589 6 місяців тому +3

    That chinook was definitely checking you out. Seems your truck modifications impressed them as much as your viewers. I'm envious, what an awesome rig. I assume you'll be getting a nice heavy duty winch on the front.

    Very nice. My mom has driven Pathfinders for years, I think her first one was a '98. She gave it to my cousin and it still runs. Her 2010 runs like a new car still. Nissans are just good vehicles. Once you get it all set up you can take on any adventure!

Its an amazing way to travel and I wish you many safe and happy adventures for the future. I live in Norfolk (not far from Simon) so if you ever need a travel companion let me know. Keep up the great videos, cheers Seamus 🍻

    Andy, "Patty" is getty all dressed up for your adventures 💗. Your doing an awesome job building it out. I'm doing some rearranging inside my Conversion Van - finding less stuff is better and offers more room on those rain days. Of course my Van sits lower so real off-road adventures aren't possible for me but there's always rivers, creeks, or beachfront so that promises an enjoyable experience for me at my advanced age.

    Iv been a car enthusiast since i passed my driving test in 1978 , and owned a lot of cars in that time.
    As iv got older though im more into vans/trucks these days ,cars don't really interest me as much
    Iv owned my 03 plate vauxhall astra van for 13 years (the longest iv kept a vehicle) .and about 5 years ago converted it into a one man stealth camper ,it does the job well for solo camping and blends in well undetected.
    Its been super reliable and great on diesel ⛽
