Worst "Build" I've Seen in a Long Time

[Stephen]

I was perusing the Nissan Pathfinder Off-Road Association forum tonight, which is generally populated with folks quite a bit more amateur than the folks here on RME, but then I saw this:

And thought that I needed to share it with everyone over here. Holy hell is that bad in the most horrible/hilarious way. The full thread is here: http://npora.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=29663&st=0.

Wow, there are a bunch of nuts over there...

There's another guy that posted about the cage that he just finished: " I just finished my interior cage, 2" .250 wall DOM Tubing"

Can you even bend 2" .250 wall DOM tube, with any consumer-grade bender? I don't think my JD2 would. Not that I would build a cage out of that anyway...

 

[RockMonkey]

He mentioned a build thread on the cage on page three (I think) but I can't find it. I really want to see under the tarp.

Here's the new bumper, on the same truck.

This site is great!

Dude seriously needs a new camera. And a new Nissan...

That bumper fits the frankenstien-esque rig.

Are the doors welded shut? (or "cage" welded to the doors...)

"gotta get d'm Dukes" style?

Didn't catch the build thread. Thats some quality work there! I know I don't have the talent, so I don't try. Thats why Carl is here.

And yes, NPORA is great for so many "really?" moments. But hey, since I've got one, I peruse.

At least the kids have helmets! God thats a scary rig.

I wondered the same thing. There is a picture on the first thread that is closer up of the base of the pillars. It looks like the front and rear doors are actually capable of opening. I don't think that dude is getting in anything "Dukes of Hazard" style.

I thought sparticus was a toyota guy???

 

[Cascadia]

Did he weld the front upper tube to the glass?

rig looks fun to me. cheap and goofy, but still fun. If it gets him and his kids out wheeling and it's not unsafe who cares

 

[jeeper]

You read the rest of that thread? His fellow pathy friends were not very nice to him about it. They were all fighting like a bunch of high school girls

Nice winch! Looks like it probably good for about 1,200 lbs

Well, you gotta ask yourself, who would build a pathfinder in the first place?

 

[Max Power]

I'm guessing the front bumper doubles as a cow catcher. I fear for the safety of his kids.

 

[spencurai]

I fear that the kids will also reproduce...that gene pool should end with them!!
