Epic Pathfinder Overland build

[@Tina_GenX]

Any other Americans here who just love hearing Andy talk? Bits n' bobs..😊 I love it!

[@dolguldur4706]

I prefer bits and boobs 😂

[@DawnOldham]

... and, "Bob's your uncle!" I love it, too!

[@KimTebrok]

Yeah, no guns required. No assault rifles etc,etc.🤣😱

[@lilesmw]

Odds and ends :)

[@KorithStoneheart]

No.(Lying)

[@KateVeeoh]

Patty's shaping up really well! That roof tent is amazing, I wish I could fit one onto my tiny car but it doesn't even properly pull up with a full grocery shop in there, never mind with a roof tent on top 😂 excited to see the inside of the Pathfinder finished, really curious about the hidden water tank, and the kitchen set up! All the best to you, Andy, really enjoy your videos and I hope you'll have as much fun making them for a long time to come ☺️

[@investigator77]

Andy, your beautiful photography and wonderful and cheerful voice, always makes me feel calm. When I start getting stressed out, I tell my husband "I need some Andy", and he completely understands! LOL We love watching you and your friends on your adventures, and just you on your quiet nights in the woods, with just a tent and a campfire, cooking up some beautiful and unexpected feast. You're lovely mate!

[@Bluto4r]

Great build! The Pathfinder and a Toyota 4 runner were recommended to me by my son when I was upgrading from a Subaru Outback. I opted for the 4runner and set about with my build. I put 285 70 r17's on at first, but later changed back to stock size. I'm not too familiar with the Pathfinder, the 4runner has a differential breather on the rear diff and it can, on really deep water crossings, allow water into it, thus the need for a breather relocation. You may want to investigate further. I haven't gotten a roof top tent, as the trails around here Eastern US - West Virginia) are very tight and I think they're top heavy, but there are a lot of them in use. My build thus far on Bluto: Badland 12k winch Badland aluminum winch shackle mount Lightbar Bilstien 5100 shocks Firestone rear air bags TSO Incog bumper LED front headlights LED Fog lights LED tailgate lights LED reverse lights (2) Apache storage cases Solidwoodworx rear drawer system Rigd sidehack Rigd ulultraswing rear tire carrier RCI Rock sliders RCI front skid plate Midland mxt275 radio Rough country steel wheels (5) Maxi razr 265r70 17 tires (5) Auxbeam ditch lights Auxbeam 8 gang switch panel Molle panels (rear) Molle panel (behind seat) My Medic first aid kit Diehard AGM starter battery Optima Yellow Top battery CTEK D250SE, 20A, 12V Battery Charger NAPA 8'awning 5lb propane various tow straps, tree savers, and soft shackles is it done? hope so lol

[@ChrisGross-jr7zc]

The 4 runner is the most riable vehicle you can buy ...great choice

[@JamesWilliam70]

I don't think they sell them in the UK though, closest is the Toyota hillux @@ChrisGross-jr7zc

[@funkybanana0138]

I will admit I am rather new to your videos but man! do I love them! Your vibe is just so comforting and fun, absolutely in love!

[@BourneOutside]

That is an amazing overlander, Andy. A proper mans mobile home 😁👍🏼

[@fishngolf2]

Andy, it looks like a great setup! You’ve done well & I look forward to your future camps! I’m in Illinois, U.S.

[@paulblubaugh589]

That chinook was definitely checking you out. Seems your truck modifications impressed them as much as your viewers. I'm envious, what an awesome rig. I assume you'll be getting a nice heavy duty winch on the front.

[@SilverSmurfer-fn5pr]

Great looking Nissan! I've always been a fan of their designs. Looking forward to seeing the completed version soon.

[@carolewarner101]

Wow, it's coming along! I love the plans for the inside. Especially if you need to stay in a city a night or two whilst out on an adventure, you can actually stealth camp inside, whereas the tent being opened up would be a bust!

[@DarrenVaughan-j6j]

Hi Andy. Great video. Love all the mods. Looking forward to seeing it completed 👍👍👍

[@claramullen]

Hi Andy well Patty is looking real nice I love the work you have done so far. While watching the intro I thought that you should have a snorkel due to all the water you were going through Ha Ha, then you mentioned you were putting one on. Take care

[@ForceFreeTrainergirl06]

When we emigrated frm the UK to western Canada, I got a 2002 Pathfinder 4x4. I absolutely loved her. We don't get a huge amount of snow in western Canada but when we did get it, I felt completely safe. She was big and heavy and very stable. I don't think I slid once while driving in snow. Unfortunately I had a bad accident, causing her to turn over and slide some distance sideways. I was actually uninjured, but had to be cut out by the fire service cutting the roof off. They told me that I was very lucky I was in a Pathfinder as their safety record is second to none. I was very sad to see her be written off. After that I got my Honda Ridgeline 4x4 truck. It's an extended cab. I bought a canopy for the back for the dogs. She's big and heavy and she has all round air bags, but I don't feel quite as safe in her as I did in my Pathfinder which I still miss......

[@lindaevans6461]

Can't wait to see you in future videos with patty.

[@musicvibes017]

Great video! Like how this vehicle has progressed overtime. You've added a lot of great modifications. I suggest locker gears for the axels which are great for rocky terrain areas. Can't wait to see what else you strap onto this beast!

[@OneFlyingLap]

Awesome, absolutely awesome. This is one fantastic set up, really looking forward to seeing the rest of the build. Popping that roof tent up and giving us all the guided tour, must have been torture to do that and then not camp. All the best 💪👍

[@bcaye]

Very nice. My mom has driven Pathfinders for years, I think her first one was a '98. She gave it to my cousin and it still runs. Her 2010 runs like a new car still. Nissans are just good vehicles. Once you get it all set up you can take on any adventure!

[@DrDIY1]

I wouldn't say Nissans are "good vehicles ". Not compared to the honda/Toyota lines. But if it fits the job🤷🏻‍♀️

[@allensmith6180]

Awesome Andy you always shine through 👍😁

[@pamelaklemp5615]

Andy, "Patty" is getty all dressed up for your adventures 💗. Your doing an awesome job building it out. I'm doing some rearranging inside my Conversion Van - finding less stuff is better and offers more room on those rain days. Of course my Van sits lower so real off-road adventures aren't possible for me but there's always rivers, creeks, or beachfront so that promises an enjoyable experience for me at my advanced age.

[@Shavenuw129]

I've had 2 Pathfinders. Great cars.

[@Ghost-of-a-man]

I love this thing. I want to buy one after watching this.

[@MegaSusanc]

Awesome as always, Andy. Patty is looking good. I can't wait to see her when she is finished. The inside sounds like it's gonna be awesome. I'm off to your next video, I'm binge-watching until I'm caught up. I only have a couple left, lol. Thank you for sharing your awesome adventures and everything else you do. Stay awesome KEEP ADVENTURING GOD BLESS YOU

[@robertogomez3698]

Hi Andy, like what your doing to your Outdoor Rider. Good video about the progressive upgrades. Keep pressing forward, at your pace, and you reach your goal. Rich Blessings

[@ABL973]

Those wheels and that rear bumper setup makes it look real tough. I like it.

[@WalksInCamera]

Looks a really cool truck now. Ideal for trips away and expeditions!

[@caronboler4048]

Loving your choice of music 😊. Hello from Sydney Australia

[@a-mh2811]

Thank you, you deserve every single subscriber ,you are so in-depth with your explaining

[@raaustin777]

Your Pathfinder is my Pathfinder's role model!

[@Billybob09871]

I used to work in Lamberhurst, we often had Chinooks flying over, and a spitfire that would make a regular appearance too.

[@baylatron]

Hello Andy I have just got a pathfinder because of yours ha ha, I also do KZbin videos but on motorcycles but you have shown me the comforts of 4x4 camping! I’m used to packing light as possible for my camping trips, so this opens so many doors for me and the family. Thank you for the videos buddy they are excellent 👌

[@cherlandry]

The music on your drive in was a perfect choice.

[@MarionThompson-u9u]

Loving the changes. I drove a Pathfinder in the woods of AZ as a middle aged woman. Would have loved the lift and tires back then. ❤❤

[@truecockney438]

I'm not normally the jealous type of person but I'm so jealous of you and everything you have Good luck to you Andy

[@kennb.3389]

Great Build Andy ! Looks like its going to be great fun . Your future trips sound wonderful.

[@mbrider56]

Truck looks awesome Andy. Great set up and definitely looking forward to seeing your future adventures in it.

[@patterdale4332]

Looking good Andy I've just bought the new Defender 130 and I'm doing the same as you on the inside with a bed and a kitchen the conversion I'm having done I will have power for up to 10 days without having to recharge anything can't wait

[@snotina]

Great video!! always excited to see all your updates. Cant wait for all your adventures.

[@andrewgilbert9108]

Looking like a great build Andy. Keeping it neat and simple. Really looking good.

[@HarolynAllison-te7kq]

Patty is looking great, and i know the work you are getting done on the vehicle it will be worth it, and will give you many years of great camping experiences i am very happy for you, that roof tent you have is very sharp and will be exactly wwhat you want, happy camping my friend, be safe on your travels.

[@haliphax-]

Excited to see the inside of the vehicle when you get it setup with the water tank and all that. Looking great so far!

[@eliworley6804]

What a wonderful job. You are really going all out. Getting as fancy as Lone wolf 902. But you need to come up with a little Boomer as well. Great job Andy you are still the best on utube by far. I never get tired of your stuff

[@peterfagley772]

Great project Andy, I wish you well as you move towards completion. I'm watching video this several months past this original posting date so I will have to check to see the newer videos and see how you have progressed. By the way, that was wonderful music you used on your drive into the fields.Thank you!

[@ciadiac]

Hey man. Love the videos. I grew up in SE London Kent borders and now 20 years in Western Australia. Really miss the Kent countryside and really like your videos for that reason and your lovely charm obviously. Love your style. The Pathfinder is looking like you’ve had some Aussie inspiration as that’s how we do it. Awning, RTT etc etc. Anyway, if you find yourself in WA come and give us a shout and we’ll take you to the best spots.

[@darrellpidgeon6440]

A reliable carriage is a must for every trek. Beefing it up was a great investment.

[@witness4Him]

Oh Andy, so glad you made another video. Was just waiting when you were going to make another one! I really enjoy and appreciate them.❤️❤️😁

[@juliosdiy3206]

Holy smack that thing looks very different now amazing.

[@Astravan63]

Nice truck Andy coming on great .love the wheels n tyres .👍 Iv been a car enthusiast since i passed my driving test in 1978 , and owned a lot of cars in that time. As iv got older though im more into vans/trucks these days ,cars don't really interest me as much Iv owned my 03 plate vauxhall astra van for 13 years (the longest iv kept a vehicle) .and about 5 years ago converted it into a one man stealth camper ,it does the job well for solo camping and blends in well undetected. Its been super reliable and great on diesel ⛽

[@kimberlyulrich8870]

I love patty and I really enjoy watching your videos love from Florida

[@davetaylor4741]

Living in Queensland Australia. Modified 4x4 are very common. Some extreme, with disconnect sway bars etc. For rock climbing. Others more subtle, like yours. Of course ours all have big bull bars. Which I think are illegal in UK. But no Skippy over there. In rural Queensland, where I live. Surrounded by Landcruiser Utes. Mine is standard bar the wheels. Go anywhere. Tough as. Mine is a workhorse, not show pony. Bit rough, and nearly 24 years old. The Outback tends to be a vehicle killer. There are some amazing tracks. Not everyone makes it.

[@seamusgallagher4316]

Looking great Andy, shaping up to be an awesome overlander. I've got a fully kitted out 70 series Landcruiser which I absolutely love overlanding in. Its an amazing way to travel and I wish you many safe and happy adventures for the future. I live in Norfolk (not far from Simon) so if you ever need a travel companion let me know. Keep up the great videos, cheers Seamus 🍻

[@Minthismoment]

Awesome, I love it. I have a 03' Ford Explorer that I'm trying to turn into something similar to yours. It's not my daily driver at all since it's a V8 and it'll just chug the fuel. Just for road trips, camping, etc.

[@jo-annel.wright2975]

2 days and 54k views well done I am researching our next campervan iteration much to Sweetie's chagrin but I wish to go more minimalist if not essentialist for longer term travelling if not as a semi permanent lifestyle. Soon but not too soon as we still love what we did did for the hyundai imax which serves us well in most weather for days weeks and months at a time. I appreciate your style even with all the almost seamless product placement.

[@P_Diddy_PARTY]

U need a long light bar for the roof at the front it would look sick

[@soniayoung7531]

Hi Andy nice setup, looking forward for the camping adventures in it,stay safe

[@irisheyes1555]

New to the channel .....i will be doing some hot tent camping for my first time this winter .keep up the great content ..

[@Andrewoutdooradventures1550]

The pathfinder vehicle looking amazing you done excellent on the vehicle well done 👏

[@J.Wick.]

Man that's sick...Love the R51. Miss my 2007...But, love my 18 Titan more. Still, great trucks

[@kingrafa3938]

Love the set up of this one Andy.

[@RoamingQuinn]

She’s looking great Andy 👍👍

[@Roverswelsh]

Nice set up Andy; get yourself up to SW Scotland! It’s an absolute haven for wild camping and around here we have the Dark Sky park :) By the way that Chinook was a bit high on the fly past! Normally they’re a lot lower :)

[@marcomcdowell8861]

Ha! Once you get one "fancy" upgrade, it cascades hahaha. Well done! Now you need a roadtrip to Norway and test that rig out!

[@Craftypumpkin1]

That looks amazing 👍

[@sdsi68]

Patty's looking good 👍, can't wait to see the finished product 🤙🤙🤙

[@mikedelacruz3135]

Patty the ultimate 😊rig is coming along nicely 🫡 Awesome episode Sir Andy, 🍻Cheers Brother from across the pond 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

[@shmehfleh3115]

I have a built 2-door Wrangler that I love, but sometimes I do wish I had something bigger.

[@frankjones4113]

Enjoyed the video, Andy. When you're up in the Midlands area. You should try Nash Wild Camping. In in a village on the border of wales. Village is called Presteigne🎉Up on the hill in the woods. £10 a night. All tbe very best. Frank.

[@grimking3430]

The build is looking good and coming along nicely. Can't wait to see it complete. 🤘

[@FigRoll]

Great build. You should get a logo or something put in the spot of where the reg plate used to be.

[@5954ldydi]

I bought a 1998 Nissan Pathfinder SE (Silver) from the local Nissan dealership back in July 1998. It had almost 7000 miles on it and had never been titled because the accountant from Nissan was driving it back and forth to work. I got an awesome deal and it was BY FAR the best vehicle I ever had. No matter what type of driving conditions it drove perfectly. I finally sold it a couple of years ago because the bottom was rusting up fast causing me to have to replace break lines, the exhaust, etc. I live in the Northern part of the U.S. so unfortunately that happens to vehicles in my area after you have them for many years. Ironically my second favorite vehicle ever was my 1994 Nissan 240 SX -5 speed manual transmission. It was so fun to drive as long as it wasn't winter. LOL. Anyway I do believe you will fall in love with Patti the Pathfinder (If you haven't done so already). You got a good deal on a good vehicle. 😊 I don't like the newer body styles especially the front end. They no longer resemble a Pathfinder. I believe you got the last design style before Nissan made huge changes on the body style for the later models.

[@BeGoodBeOriginal]

[@kwolekw]

Always enjoy your videos Andy. Thanks for sharing.

[@fredberry1342]

There are wheel spacers. I found when I built an overland jeep that it was easier to have wider axles(differentials) and put mud guard on the fenders than to try to mess with everything else. It is also cheaper.

[@marelunareikiasmr]

She's come together nicely Andy 👍

[@LoneWolfExplorer]

Be interesting to follow this build, I look forward to it 👍

[@JimboOutandabout]

Nice truck Andy,

[@NYDRAINS]

Am i the only one that thought the intro music sounded like a Walking Dead game? The Pathfinder is coming along well Andy 👌

[@joanhuggett5164]

Sounded like Justin Barbour to me :)

[@generalmanager384]

More like some mountain music from red dead redemption 2

[@marianfrances4959]

👍😎🇨🇦 One can tell you love the set up! Cant go wrong with Nissan. LOL on the play station! Lots of good vids to come!

[@Xtreme543]

Nice setup you're using there. Enjoying your video's!

[@taurota1554]

Outstanding and awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along.

[@FrankieWildeDJ]

My 2005 Euro 3 Pathfinder was superb on fuel compared to the later Euro 4 and the cheaper tax band. I'd get at least 35mpg on a run compared to 24 on my Euro 4. Have to watch for rust on the rear chassis legs on these. Simple to repair on the Navara as you can remove the rear tub but you can't get to the inner chassis on these, I had to literally cut out the outer chassis to get to the inner to weld it up on both sides! Good solid 4x4 though.

[@johnL-ej1gd]

Lovely!. Cant wait to see the front winch bumper too. These pathfinders are available in Ireland as a commercial 'from new' without any seats in the rear. If it helps anybody out there.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Patty is Looking Good!

[@D4L4WW]

Love how chilled all these videos are ❤

[@edwincors]

I like your pathfinder Andy 👍👍👍

[@nayanpandya7697]

Good luck with what ever you do hope,you feel better soon 👊

[@fredrikwestlund4740]

Welcome back to Sweden Andy! ☺

[@StitchJones]

Love the new video. And I hope you had a great holiday. Thank you.

[@ditirorantloane9521]

Been watching your videos for quite some time and always appreciated the authenticity that comes across.Just a quick one..How problematic are the Pathfinders especially when it comes to Overlanding? I am now swayed by seeing your Rig as i was mostly steered toward the LR4 Discovery or the Jeep Grand Cherokee...But i hear the LR4 is a car to run away from. I need a car capable offroad but not a nightmare to drive on the highway..So luxury overlanding...I think the Pathfinder meets that well and easier on the pocket. So has it been problematic for you? Thanks, will await your response

[@jokerswyld02]

You make me want to buy a Pathfinder!! Great video

[@remy7009]

Very Interesting Video Andrew , Thank You 👍👍👍🇬🇧

[@nathangibson8066]

It would be great if we could get videos of you doing the work, especially the inside build would be great!

[@alunjones9153]

Hi Andy good video 👍 I've looked at those roof tents a small fortune out of my price range always like Ur videos watched 1 when I was wid family d last few days!!

[@bobclark7211]

Wow very nice set up. I can’t wait to see it done.

[@andrewdavis9223]

Going to be one heck of a machine when it's done 😊

[@willieoutdoors2531]

Love your videos Andy!!! Cheers from Columbus Ohio U.S.!!!!😎👍👍

[@cowalexplorer]

Excellent build, all great modifications, nothing comes cheap when it comes to modifying 4x4's, ha. Makes me want to add an awning to my standard pickup, so handy. Now give that chassis a treat with some Lanoguard, I did my HIlux with it, great results. Cheers.

[@adventurebythemile]

I would love to have a rig like that just so I could go into the back country. One day! Right now my minivan camper will have to do. I tried going off road in it , lol and got stuck in a creek bed!! Luckily a guy in a 4 wheel drive GMC pulled me out and no damage done to my new van. What was I thinking??? I really want to camp in the UK, Scotland, and Ireland but don’t know the regulations so sometime can you do a video about that? I would greatly appreciate it. Found your channel about a month ago and have been binge watching a couple of days! ~ Elaine

[@octanebrain1917]

Fantastic build.

[@artat777]

Looks amazing congrats!
