It’s absolutely beautiful,congrats on the new purchase
I guess it's in the eye of the beholder haha, I do like these SUVs, but find they look like an old Jimmy with an aerostar front end
@@brly4542 front kind of looks like an Aerostar
@@joskjj3625 but I always liked the AWD aerostar too haha
@@brly4542 yeah those were cool vans
Would be awesome a three way comparison with a 90s Pathfinder, a 90s Montero Sport and a 90s 4Runner!
Add the trooper/rodeo to round it out a little more.
crv passport pilot.
It would be tough to find a montero sport still running 😂
@@dp4auburn - try the (US-spec) Puerto Rican market where them as the NATIVA were more plentiful.
Yes, so much yes.
Put all the 90's off-roaders together and let's see who was king back in those days.
I am actually intrigued.
If i was retired and TFL was hiring I would probably work for free just to be a part of all the fun
Same here. These guys are awesome. Too bad I live in Florida which is nowhere near Colorado.
Likewise!! As soon as I have the success and finances to be able to take a nice vacation, I’d just go be an intern at TFL for a few weeks 🤓 lol
I remember those Pathfinders. It was from the day when the Pathfinder could take the less traveled path instead of the pavement path.
Please DON'T put a rooftop tent on this classic.
The roof wouldn't hold it anyways lol
I wouldn't mind the right rooftop tent. At least they can't put a soft topper on it.
Agreed!
Roof top tents are gonna be the next polyester suits. Dated, a fad, and bad taste! 😄
I'm watching this during my lunch break in my 90s pathfinder 🤣
Those were quite the sought after machines when I was in high school when these came out. Still a classic beauty.
my college roommate had the SE with the 16" alloys and stock big fat tires
@@ST-wi9eq I had the next-Gen Pathfinder, a 1999 one!
Awesome video - I was fortunate to find a 98 in excellent condition a couple of weeks ago and bought it Every time I drive it I am amazed and thankful. A big fan of TFL and watch it religiously so a big thank you to you all
The 1995 pathfinder was my first car and I loved it! I wish I could find one again that’s in good condition. Mine had over 285k on it
Awesome find! These guys definitely need more attention. Got me a 99 Pathy with a 101, 000 original mile, one owner last year. It was my dream suv when I now 39 was in high school. 😆 I’m diggin every mile of it
Champagne I think it’s the color name. That color was very popular in the 80s and 90’s.
i really enjoyed the father son "mission" ... Roman and Tommy need to continue the tradition ... maybe a road trip to Alaska!
finally someone is showing some light on this gem. honestly they are a beast offroad.
1990s Pathfinders just went up in value.
Naw.
THISSSSS, is a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder 😛
@@mhassouneh Yeah...And?
@@mhassouneh Doug, I understand.
@@mhassouneh What does Doug Demuro have to do with this?
And Roman, in the wind, and his hair looked good!
You're reading my comments. Admit it! Hahaha.
What about Monteros?? They were PACKED with cool OEM options !!
In Europe they was called "Terrano" and mostly comes with Diesel, TD27 engine.
Same in indonesia
Memories of my first car, a 95 Nissan pickup. Loved it. Then an 2003 Pathfinder. Solid vehicles and awesome 4wd, great buy.
This was one of the 1st generations of any sub-$50K vehicle I can recall (within the past 40 years) that were reliable. A terrific find!
I own a 94, mines a Manual though. Amazing off-road, definitely under- appreciated. Best mod I’ve done for looks is removing the fender flares. It’s already a wide body. This is even the same trim and everything, mine has 270,000 still truckin. Awesome guys
Hoping to see a 90’s Pathfinder, Montero, and Trooper comparison video. Three underrated (and cheap) Japanese alternatives to the mighty 4Runner.
I had a 1994 Pathfinder XE-V6, what a great vehicle! Took it all over the country from highways to back roads. Absolutely loved it!
Looks exactly like my ‘93 that I owned. We sold it to a family friend with about 115k miles on the odometer, and they drove it to almost 300k miles
So amazed to see how clean and nearly perfect it is. I always wanted one of these when I was in college back in the mid 90s. They were rock solid. Can’t wait to see hat you guys do with it.
I feel like TFL got a really good deal on this from fans. There's no way this thing would only cost 4k.
I paid 4.5k for a pretty clean '02 and it still wasn't as clean as this one
Remember these when they were new. Brother in law had one and loved driving it.
I use to own a 1986-1/2 Nissan Hard Body King Cab truck and put on over 300k miles on it. And yes it was pretty beat up by the time I was done with him. But my Nissan was also maintenance free for about the first 12 years I owned it. And got rid of him before I had to change the clutch again. Awesome review and what a beaut! Thanks for putting this up!
Love Pathfinders I was a Nissan Tech 86-92 and loved them when they came out , just bought a 2003 pathfinder with 150 k miles for 1500 bucks it runs great has some minor cosmetic issues just installed some Yokohama geolander tires on some pro comp 69 rims , looking forward to more from this series
I would have Loved to work on something like my 96 hardbody when it was new
I also think the second best looking pathy was the 2001 to 2004 had a nice classic shape still.
VG30E 153 hp 182 lb-ft, and I'm pretty sure the SE with the cool Lego wheels was the one that got the factory limited slip rear end. But overall, great purchase and super cool video! I look forward to more WD21 content, these are great trucks.
Their has the same orange sticker on the pumpkin of the rear axle my '87 SE had. I think you could get XE's with limited-slip. Not certain about that, though. I know you could with the Xterra. My 2004 XE Xterra is five-speed manual with a factory rear LSD.
@@jerroldshelton9367 ah, very cool. Always thought the Nissans were a nice bargain compared to the outlandish prices Toyotas go for, good to know that some XEs also have the LSD option
I had a ‘95 Pathfinder, and it was the best car I’ve ever owned. Bought my wife a 2016 Pathfinder when she needed a new vehicle, and it just isn’t even close to that ‘95 model. I wish I could have made that thing last forever.
Brings back memories of my time at Nissan South Africa when as a Senior Development and Test Engineer I was given a Nissan D21 Hardbody VG30 5 speed manual (RHD Japanese spec) Terrano/Pathfinder to develop the cooling system and a Mann & Himmel cyclonic air-cleaner assembly to suite the extreme South African conditions. My development vehicle was a metallic red and the front grill and bumper was different to your new Pathfinder but the rear end was the same. A lovely vehicle then and I bet now as well.
I've owned 2 4wd hardbodies, a 94 and a 95, and 1 4wd pathy, a 92. Vg30 in that is a bullet proof engine, just make sure to change the timing belt every 100k miles (if y'all keep it that long). Truly tough and dependable trucks. None of mine ever left me stranded, and never needed anything major over the 500k+ miles I have between all 3 of them.
Built back in Nissan's golden years 👍 Also don't forget about the mid 90s Isuzu Rodeo, those things were extremely tough and easy to work on.
Isuzu was put together at SUBARU USA.THE top end on the vq35de and the Isuzu engine are similar in many ways,the ISUZU is easier to break down.
@@rayoliver6807 Never had any trouble with the one I had and I beat the hell out of it, although it had the classic Isuzu lifter tick. I finally got rid of it with 265k miles and it still ran strong, nothing really wrong with it but it was just time to adopt another project 🙂
Yes, thank you the pathfinder is very under appreciate. I have a 03, and I love it
Nice to see this 90's classic still running! In Portugal we still see quite a bit of Toyotas, Mitsubishis and Nissans from the 90's, people love them!
Here in Europe we called that Nissan the Terrano I, and a cool story is that the next one, the Terrano II had a twin version called the FORD Maverick, probably built by Nissan but with a Ford badge.
I drive a classic, a Mitsubishi Pajero, called Montero in the USA I think.
I have a 1994, five speed, 4x4, and before I bough it 18 months ago it had lived a very long and full life with the odometer frozen at 242,576 miles. After rebuilding the entire front suspension (every piece was OEM) I've been wailing on it offroad as often as I can. The four-link in the rear is superb and sets it apart from the XJ Cherokees which ride on rear leafs. Many of these trucks came with factory LSD rear ends, and with a 9.17" ring gear they dwarf the puny Dana 35 of the XJ and 8" in the Toyota. The factory suspension is smooth on and off road and it rides better than any truck I've driven. The weak point is undoubtedly the front IFS and steering. Compared to the Toyota, you get far less travel and lift is limited to around 3" in the front until you're riding on the bump stops. The steering centerlink and idler arm and also known weak points (I replace tie rods every few months). Grab some rear lift coils ($100 from 4x4parts.com) and a steering stabilizer and hit the trails.
Hey TFL. I have had 2 of those first gen Pathfinders in the past. One was a 2-door 1988 and the other was a 4-door 1993; both the SE-V6 version. Please consider doing the following immediately on that Pathfinder. 1) Replace the timing belt on that vehicle immediately as most versions have an interference engine. 2) Replace the transmission fluid immediately as the automatic transmission was a weak point on that vehicle and very iffy; The manual transmissions were fine. 3) Replace the Tie-Rod ends as they tend to snap like twigs. It's best to always have a spare set handy. Good luck and cant wait to see it on the trails.
This is my favorite suv of all times. I use the work in a Nissan dealer in 1996 and I remember all about this Pathfinder model. I hope you guys enjoy it. Regards from Tampa FL.😎
Aww! My brother had a ‘93 or ‘94 used Pathfinder that he bought after he got married and my nephew was born! It was a blue one! Brings back memories!
I had this exact same Pathfinder back in the day. It was perfect for windsurfing. Equipment on top....could go anywhere. And slept in it many nights. This takes me back.
Had one for 13 years off roading beach surf fishing forest fire roads hunting and thru many snowstorms Never failed me went for a 2001 later miss it
Great addition to the fleet, congrats!
Please try to find a Montero 96-98 for video series...
100%
Most expedient way would be to come to Puerto Rico and try to find a -'00 BOF Montero (Continental US units had the 3.5L V6 and were expensive for the era, while Puerto Rican units had the 3.0L V6 and were more plentiful).
I was given one of these as my work vehicle for a year when I was working in Qatar.
Everybody was fighting over Disco's and Land Cruisers and the Pathfinder was considered "bottom of the heap".
Was a terrific little truck though. Went everywhere the other 4x4s went and it was easier to drive and park in the city.
Worst thing about it was that it had a cheap interior which just felt a bit dull. Probably ideal for a work truck though.
Great vid as always. Official color is "Champagne Pearl". Mom had two SE models growing up. Very comfortable, not a lot of power, and turning radius of about 3 states. 1995 was solid well over 200K with general maintenance. Look forward to more videos!
Weclome to the WD21 club! You can see my '95 SE in some of my videos. Super capable out of the box with 31s and the LSD. Just not too much hp 153 @ 4800 rpm...but enough torque 180 ft-lbs @ 4000 rpm to get you through the rough stuff, especially in 4 Low.
Still proud original owner of 1989 XE Pathy. Manual transmission. Never left me on side of road broken down. Like all Nissans salt plays he’ll on metal work. I had undercoating installed as option to protect against these New York winters and salted roads. Problems: rear floor boards are weak spots for rust.
Have done regular oil changes every 3 thousand miles. Put 3 timing belts on it. Slave cylinder for brakes. Several exhaust through Midas but parts have lifetime warranty so paid only for labor. Drive belts changed. Rear rotors replaced. Front tie rods replaced. Starter and relay changed out. Went through 3 batteries and 3 sets of tires. She’s been an excellent car. 213000 miles on her.
Wish Nissan would do retro design on these like Challenger or Bronco.
Excellent find! These Pathfinders were tough as nails & really used for 4WD. Lots of folks used them to plow snow. This is what put the name “Pathfinder” on the map.
I used to own a 94 with a 5 speed and rear lsd diff
I love when you guys acquire a new/old vehicle like this!!!🙏👍🏻👊🏻
I had a 1990 XE. The biggest difference between the SE and XE was the former had larger tires and alum wheels. Fun fact: All the early Pathfinders were 2 doors and once the gov't decided they were trucks, they raised the import duties through the roof. So they made them "station wagons". Problem solved. I eventually junked it with 325 thousand miles and no part of the drivetrain ever failed or was taken apart. It did, however, fail safety inspection every year due to steadily advancing rust. I'm driving a Titan now.
Nice one boys. Make a point to change that timing belt to keep her running for years to come.
While living in Maui I worked for a helicopter touring company and the co-owner had a beautiful black Pathfinder. I used to detail it for her. It was a '93 or '94 model. I looked for several years for one similar but even the nicest ones had signs of off road abuse and neglect.
I bought a 90 for 500$. Still got it, I run 33s with a body lift, and beat the crap out of it. It's never broke down. I dont know how, but what a beast. (Mines a manual though👊)
Had a 90 4 cylinder hardbody PU and a 95 V6 with that 3.0 V6 Hardbody and never seemed to lack power with that V6. I beat both of those trucks hard and they always bounced back!
You guys finally got your hands on a Nissan. There is a solid and passionate group of hardbody owners out there. Just spend some time on the forums you'll find a lot of good info on what to do with it. As an owner of a 1st and 2nd gen Xterra one with over 300,000 miles and the other 270,000 I love the old Nissan trucks you can't kill them.
Love those old pathfinders very clean congrats on the purchase
We're still driving my wife's 99 Pathfinder, they go and go.
I purchased a one owner 1994 SE-V6 just over a year ago. It was from BC Canada. At least as clean as this one. Only had 160,000kms on it. Its test drive was from BC to Nova Scotia with cold ac the whole trip. I have kept it mostly stock looking but did make some tasteful / period correct upgrades. Would love to share some info or pictures if you are interested.
Been driving my 91 for years! Been the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned by far! Replaced quite a bit when I picked it up. Mostly just suspension that had worn over the years.
I had one of these in Manual Tranny in Red color, 1993 to 1994 until I traded up for the newer Pathfinder with the 3.3 liter in the "Gold" color. These were rock solid and I actually miss it even though I now have the FJ and 4Runner ORP (5th gen). Only down side is they lack torque and struggle due to lack of oxygen above 11,000 ft. The slam of the door with the "carrump" tin can sound made me nostalgic!
Absolutely love that you guys are seeking out these older cool trucks for the younger generation to learn about...and put a smile on the faces of us older guys who remember them so well
I had a 91 SE-V6 with the 31x10.50R15 tires and factory sunroof. The best feature is the reclining back seat. The v6 made 150hp/180ft torque.
I had "access" to a 2 door blue one! Amazing vehicle: 5 speed, V6, rear LSD. Great truck.
Is that late at night when everyone is sleeping?
Whenever you sell this Pathfinder I would love to take it off your hands.
They’re selling it now
My first car was a 1988 Pathfinder SE with a factory front brush guard and a rear spoiler. I beat the piss out of it and it never broke on me. Midwest salt is what killed it. I still think the components in the rear ceiling is so unique. Add the rear spoiler and block type rims of the SE to your XE with some 32s!
I had the 89 two door and a 1991 4 door. Was my favorite SUV. My 1991 had rear disc brakes.
lmfao... my 2005 wrangler still has rear drums...
Make if it has a timing belt you change it. Those are known for belts breaking.
From people who own them, the Isuzu VehiCross was great on the trails. I've only seen 2 in my travels and both were claimed to be monsters off road. I owned a '91 Trooper ll and a 2001 Trooper, and the '91 was very capable, and almost made it to 300k, the 2001 was a p.o.s. w the most problematic transmission issues.
I had a 94 HB king cab 4x4 XE V6 5 speed. Amazing little truck. Known week spots are the auto hubs (change out for Warn or Mile Markers). If the Pathy has the two piece drive shaft with the carrier barring, you can swap the whole driveshaft for a one piece from a 1-2 Gen Feontier CC. Direct fit.
I had a 95 bought for 900 everything worked 4 wheeled it never got stuck and could tighten and remove replace valve covers with Phillips head screwdriver wish I still had it
These are so cool. Had dreams in college of swapping in a 5.6 v8 with a manual transmission when the Titan first came out.
The guy who bought my 87 Pathfinder from me had a similar dream, but with a Chevy LS V8 in his dreams, backed by an automatic tranny, and he actually made it a reality. He still owns it.
@@WW-wf8tu I didn't think mine needed more engine, either. What I did wish it had was a fourth gear in the JATCO automatic. Mine was only a 3 speed with direct-drive third and with the low final drive gearing, the engine would be over 3,000 rpm at highway speeds.
Super cool! I just picked up one that is nearly identical to that one with 60k miles for
Next to nothing compared to what they are selling for in the pnw.
Great old truck! The Isuzu Rodeo is another unsung hero of the era.
Parts support for the Rodeo is slim. Otherwise yes, they're tough little rigs with a solid frame and D44 rear axle.
I loved that SUV. Had a 2000 in green. Comfortable and capable.
I’d keep it as original as possible, like you said, “It’s a time capsule”!
I dearly miss those old HVAC controls! The new, electronic systems just don't work as well as those did.
I wish Nissan would build something like that again. Simple and utilitarian, reliable and tough.
They do....its called the Frontier
My parents bought a new one in 1994, the year after I graduated high school. They knew what I would have done to it. It got passed down to my sister and lasted about 12 years and 250k. My dad and I bought some land together and drove that thing all over it and he pulled my '95 F150 out of the mud a few times. I sold the truck and bought a '74 Bronco so he didn't get to pull me out any more!
Now I drive an 06 Xterra and live in Gold Hill, I think it took over for the original Pathfinder when it became civilized. I'd love to do a comparison of abilities.. There is a nice black 90s pathfinder just down the road from me.
I took this same nissan out west to Utah from PA.. Had it floored across Nebraska and could only go 50mph in a head wind. Bad fuel mileage but great vehicle off road. Very dependable.
WOW!!!.Excellent find..clean..not abused.l'm highly jealous guys.This will go fast when put on TFL bids later on.👍👍👍
100% ready to see where this goes! After 3 years patiently searching for a WD21 or gen 1-2.5 Montero, I finally found a worthy 94 Pathfinder SE-V6 in the fall. Manual, 4wd, off road sport package, and surprisingly factory keyless entry. Still even had the sunroof shade. It had come from Colorado Springs to the East Coast 2 years ago when the second owner retired and moved to be close to his wife’s family. Only really used it to pull his Harleys and ended up selling it because he was getting too old to drive a manual and needed a pickup for his hobbies. One of my favorite things is that you can remove the front headrests and fold the seat back flush with rear seats to create a lounge chair setup. Could you guys maybe go into a bit of detail with the LSD? WD21s had H233B 31 spline LSDs with ~200lb.ft breakaway while later gens got 33 spline and only had ~40lb.ft breakaway and I would love to understand that more especially vs a rear locker.
My father had a 93 and a 97 Pathfinder. The 93 was pretty much the truck I learned on for my Driver's License. And I believe the rear seats reclined in this model
I wish I had found this vehicle before you bought it! Don't change a thing. Keep it original! thx
Those can run forever, congratulations 🍾🎈🎉 I know Nathan is gonna enjoy it !
god that's a gorgeous pathfinder
1995 Pathfinder was my first off-roader. It was a great little truck!
I’ve owned 3. Built one. Hands down stock vs stock best off-road buggy there is.
Funny timing on this, acquired a 88 pathfinder with 70k miles on it 2 weeks back. mint condition. Glad theres others out there who think alike of these beauties :) z24i engine for me though and the manual !
Finally! Ever since that dihatsu I’ve been thinking you need to get one of these. I loved my 89 two door. Find the “lego” wheels and 31 inch tires from the SE trim on that thing and it will go anywhere with that LSD. 31s on this will require a bit of tweaking on the torsion bars up front I think, but still would be a stock configuration.
Also while it was based on the hardbody truck, the truck essentially had a 2 inch (I think) body lift that the Pathfinder does not.
Check the bushings on the lower control arm rods too! Common trouble area. I forget what they’re actually called, but they’re outboard from, and much shorter than the torsion bars.
I had a 1988 Mitsubishi Monterey. ( bought new). From factory. It was a mountain goat. Went where the stock wranglers struggled. Great vehicles
I had an '87 Pathfinder 2DR. It was the color of this one. It had 31" BFG ATs on stock alloy wheels, originally had in-cab adjustable shocks that the prior owner replaced with Rancho RS 5000's, and had the factory rear limited slip with the little orange sticker on the pumpkin that the one in the video displays. Mine was throttle-body injected, rated at 150 hp, connected to a JATCO 3 speed auto......
And, therin lies the only problem I had with it.
I bought this from the owner of a Nissan dealership out in California, who had owned it since new and immaculately maintained it. It had a freshly overhauled engine with about 4,000 miles on it and 247,000 miles on the odometer. It drove and, for the most part also looked, like a brand-new vehicle.
It did that, that is, until the JATCO 3 speed puked second gear after I had racked up 30,000 miles of my own on the thing.
No transmission shop in my area would touch it. My late friend's Nissan store couldn't fix it, either. I forget what the "NLA" part needed was, but it was less than $10.00. They tracked one down in Mexico City, where a warehouse showed one of this no longer available part in inventory, but they apparently didn't really have the part, either.
I really, really, really liked that Pathfinder. The whole inability to make it function correctly and un-puke the missing in action second gear was heartbreaking. I would still be driving the thing now if I could have repaired it.
It wasn't perfect, mind you. Forward visibility was good out of it, but sightlines everywhere else made it hard for me to see out of. That's the only real complaint I had with it aside from a desperate need for an overdrive gear if I cared about going faster than 65 mph on the road......
But otherwise, it was a very enjoyable vehicle to live with.
it was very comfortable on the highway and easily the best-handling four-wheel drive, on pavement, that I have owned. Off-road, it is one of the few torsion-bar IFS four-wheel drives that didn't have me missing the live front drive axle it didn't have. It ATE UP Forest Service and BLM fire roads alive, being very comfortable with no buzzing or rattling on "washboard surfaces" and on the typical low-range "Jeep trail" on public land, it was composed and didn't beat one to death. Lots of space behind the back seat for cargo..... A roof-rack for more.... A factory option tow package so I could pull my M-416 trailer behind... It was, simply put, an awesome machine for extended family fly fishing / quail hunting/ ghost town exploring/ bush camping adventures.
Faced with not being able to get the transmission put right, when a random guy offered me $4,000.00 for it even though I told him about the transmission issue, I sold it.
He took it home to Mexico, where it got a Chevy engine, transmission, and transfer case. He still has it.
To add more depression to this tale of woe, about a week after I sold it, I saw an advertisement from a "Z Car" specialty shop proclaiming they were making the part I needed to have my transmission overhauled.
I use a 2004 Xterra now and while it doesn't have quite the same sport-car driving feel on pavement, it's just as good in the dirt as my Pathfinder was, and better in the sense that I can actually see out of the thing. Until I got the Xterra, I often found myself wishing I could have fixed that Pathfinder and kept it.
GR8 info,
Too funny, my pal has a wrecking
yard, lots of S10’s etc. so a 4.3 V6
and goodies.....another 200k.....ha !
@@rickreese5794 If I would have had access to metal fab equipment as I once did prior to my Pathfinder puking its tranny's second gear, I'd have been very tempted to stuff a 4.3 Vortec under it's hood, along with a GM transmission, and an Atlas II T-case.
The VG30, while not especially powerful by modern standards, revved with Swiss-watch smoothness and it is a good, decently-reliable engine, IMHO.
It was powerful enough to get my Pathfinder up Cajon Pass on I-15 at 65 mph, when loaded with family and gear. Good enough for me....
For me, a GM drivetrain conversion in that thing wouldn't have been about power, but "serviceability" or the ability find parts to replace worn out or broken ones, more than anything else.
Love this kind of content!
My parents owned a 1994 Pathfinder for 20 years and put over 235k miles on it. It never broke down and everything worked when they eventually sold it.
I have an r50 some would call it claped but it still run and works its a $500 beater and I use it to haul my four wheeler back in the woods to ride it don't live an easy life but it is a tank and I love it
My dad had a 95 nissan pathfinder it climb really good on my driveway on the snow and I still have the bin number
And the manual book as well
We had a 1995 pathfinder se 4x4. Great truck. I believe it was 150 ish hp but it had a power button that worked.
OK, this particular OG Pathfinder was known from our Nissan importer at the dealer I worked for (1986-2008) as the PWAX or an XE-level 4x4 w/a 4-speed automatic tranny in "Champagne" (gold / beige) color. Our best seller at the time was the same level, but as a 4x2 (PW2AX) in the same color.
About the engine, the VG30DE (same as the OG 300ZX, but a bit detuned) NA-3.0L V6 only got 153hp and 180 lb-ft, roughly comparable with more modern regular cab and King Cab D40 Frontiers with the 2.4L I4.
That's a CLEAN EXAMPLE you don't find that often.
Just bought one of these and am planning on building it up as well!
It’s actually fuel injected which is really cool.
I didn’t get it till I remembered for how long US manufacturers were making carburated cars
Older Nissan are great. Had a sentra 86 I believe. Took it on dirt, jeep roads all the time. Jumped all 4 wheels off the ground, accidentally. Never aligned front end or anything else. Had to replace a seal in transmission, 50 cents for the part. Had to pull transmission to do it. By craters of the moon park in Idaho. Auto transmission. Don't make them like they used too.
Keep it mint... I have an 87 with the Z24 and an 88 with the V6 these trucks handle great with Wranglers 235/75R15.
