Grandpa X

I dont drive an X, I drive it's Grandpa. Hope to see you folks at gonemoab!

looks just like a red pathy i seen on n4w the other day...hhmmmmmm.

Ya, I get around... busted, what a slut I am!!! You gonna be there?

cant, sas is expensive. plus i have inventory 6 weeks after and my work wont let me go.

i would love to go tho.

I hope to make it to moab for a few days of the function, darn work always getting in the way of fun.

Most of the fellas I wheel with are IFS, it is just fun to get out in the woods... hmm, maybe even drink some beverages and smile a little.

now THAT is one badass pathy

Now that's some REAL flex up front.

A lot os SAS Xs don't have that up front, almost like something is preventing the wheel from going into the wheelwell.

That truck would look great on an AZ run.

Yep at one time I had both

Yours looks very nicely done on pavement…one clean looking pathy…looks like you used bronco parts…WH coils, ford towers, etc.

Think my 90’ SAS pathy was a 1st at GoneMoab a few years back. Was more of a budget junk yard build with leafs but still performed great on everything I took it on for 3+ years until I sold it to focus on my bronco build.

Planning on some optional runs on Monday 5/22 to Gold Bar & Golden Spike and Friday 5/26 to Pritchett Cyn for the more built crowd. Hope you can join us like to see how that pathy does on the tougher stuff

damn those are sweet, just out of curiosity, how much does it cost (ballpark figure) to SAS a Pathy vs an Xterra?

"That truck would look great on an AZ run"

Thinking next year, Packman and I would both like to come.

"like to see how that pathy does on the tougher stuff"

It did fairly well with IFS, I just got tired of replacing parts, as long as it holds up I will be happy.

"how much does it cost (ballpark figure) to SAS a Pathy vs an Xterra?"

If you included your time... the Calmini kit cant be beat! However they do have a Pathy kit in the works. Now if time working on your rig is fun... well then it matters how crazy you get.

Nice looking rig.

What is SAS? I'm completely lost...

There're several threads about just this; What doe this mean?, what does that mean?. All the info is here, please try using the search function..
SAS = Solid Axle Swap

mucho nice.....

i like i like..

I always liked those Pathy's, and yours is now my favorite!!..it helps that my X is practically the same red & has a loadwarrior too!! I'd love to get it to that state at some point in time!

There are going to be a few sas pics from the colorado area this year... from what I know you guys Will like what you see!! :p

Flexalicous!

Grandpa X got new velcro sneakers... More Pics

Looks much better with the bigger meat

35x12.50 SSR's

Okay dude, your rig is just sick.

That is seriously the baddest-ass pathy I've seen.

holy back spacing batman. what's the BS on them?

nice set up.

3.75 backspacing..

More Pics

Would you like some droop with that flex

so sick

Very nice. Best Pathy out there.

DBAX here-

Great to meet you Ryan Thanks again on the axle My buddy Preston (PHXX) has great video of you from right where you took those pics, also of you humping a rock earlier on SteelBender and when you were driving backwards up that line by the dragons tail.
I'm sure I'll see you in AZ for AZRUN7, and I'm even more sure I'll chat with you before that about my SAS

-an impudent or insolent rejoinder; "don't give me any of your sass"
-a slang term meaning to talk back in an impertinent way, "sass" originally referred to garden vegetables. "Long sass" refers to parsnips, carrots, and the like; "short sass" refers to turnips, potatoes, and onions. The latter use of "sass" is found even today, but it is extremely rare. The term "sass" is a corruption of the word "saucy", and first appeared in mid-19th century America and England at about the same time.

It was a good time! Hope to see you using that axle soon...

Hey Ryan, this is Ryan. Ill be getting in touch to make my purchase.

Nice meeting ya man. take it easy. Till next time.

Grandpa X has been out chasing old Lady's..

Ryan...DaveC from NPORA...just wanted to drop a note here to let you know that the Pathy is looking sweet as usual. Yours it was inspired me to mod my '94 (although I'm sure you know from the boards that I sold mine not too long ago for the X). Great pics, I'm still over on NPORA now and then...see you around. How are things coming with the Hardbody you acquired?

Here's the Pathy I sold back on Aug 6th in case you were trying to figure out who I was



Here's the "Grandson"


This is Kevin's (kev0153) old rig.

check this one out.. Saw it at a car show here in hawaii..

thats rediculous looking

I'd really like to know if that snorkel would fit an X. I hate how all the xterra snorkels have the hook that sticks back out front at the top. It wouldn't survive very long in most of the overgrown trails I run.

No, it probably wouldn't fit an Xterra...but you're right, the design is much better when it comes to brush, sticks, limbs, etc...

Ditto, those tires look ridiculous on there...put some 38's or 39's on it and it's all good.

the wheels on that lifted pathy look like flotation devices...

for sand they work pretty good because of the bigger foot print..

I'm sure it works good in sand, but having the wheel wider than the tire thread doesn't look good. The wheel could be a good 2 or 3 inches narrower and the tire would then look normal for the wheel.

Wouldn't there be a higher chance of the bead coming off with a wheel too wide for the tire?

Im pretty sure these guys are for show..

Looks like an awesome X Dave... Keep me posted on the upgrades as they happen! Kinda neat to see a Pathy bother with some nice new wheels!

See you at Gone Moab one of these first years?
