Nissans are great reliable vehicles and are a great platform to start to build into a great trail vehicle. I wish there were more off-the-shelf aftermarket parts for the pathfinders and hardbodies. nissans run forever just like toyotas..Why can't they crawl like a toyota? Calmini helps out the nissan community but pne small private company can't doit alone.  

Yeah, you just have to know where to look with Nissans. Stuff is out there, but you have to hunt for it.  

things like lifts are out there but they really arn't up to par as far as durability goes. as far as performance.... there isn't much. and gearing is expensive for diffs and there are now 2 sets of t-case gears avaliable but cost upwards of $900.
