Chris James's Frankenfinder
Chris James had a problem with his '95 Pathfinder -- to make it more trailworthy, he originally went with the usual IFS lift route (two-stage torsion bars, Old Man Emu shocks, Rancho coils, and so on). He also added some interesting bits and pieces such as a ARB winch bumper, Smittybilt rear tube bumper, Safari Snorkel, Borla exhaust, and dual-shock upper A-arms). But the suspension wasn't good enough for the hardcore rockcrawling trails he was running or wanted to run. He ended up breaking a good number of idler arms and other steering components.
Being tired of paying for replacement components, the obvious solution to him was to put in a solid front axle and enjoy the wheel travel and robustness benefits associated with it. While most of us dream about it and watch Toyota owners do it, he made it happen on his Nissan. His truck is now a highly capable rig, regularly seen on tough trails along with other heavily modified Jeeps and Toyotas.
Coincidentally, I live in the same city as Chris, so I had an opportunity to go 'wheeling with him, chat with him, and take pictures of his truck in action.
