Starting this thread, so I have a place to dump Craigslist finds for Bmillsskier's unicorn mid-1990s Nissan Pathfinder. (AKA Assfinder, apparently.)
Here's another local one that looks decent:

Having driven 2 variations of the Pathfinder (og 2 door and a later 00something se). I liked both, but don't know that I'd go out of my way to get another. Reliable for the most part though bit small.

My buddy had one, we called it the crack finder, like the kind you smoke. He even broke the antenna off to use as a pipe. All it needed was an ATM that could dispense $3 at a time.
The ATM should only dispense $2 billsQuote:

Mine was a 1994 SE stick. Beast in the snow. Absolutely the best truck I've owned prior to my wife's 2015 QX80, which is like driving your family room sofa down the road.
Watch out for frame rot. Mine was mechanically perfect. The frame was shot. If it made any sense to do a frame restore I would have. Maybe if I had sat it in a garage for 30 years post resto it would have been worth it. I'll never know.
I think Bmills is looking for a 94-95, but am not sure. He'll chime in here sometime to clarify his dream AssCrackFinder.
I don't see any difference between the 95 and 94 body styles. 96 changed.
Pathfinder design seems chaotic over the years - body on frame, to unibody, back to body on frame, then back to unibody again.
Yeah, it was '96 that they changed.
Chup, my man!Quote:

Seriously solid.
For the uninitiated, the great white buffalo that was the Assfinder can be found here:

Yeah 94-95 is the sweet spot. I’ll pay for a good project. I’ll pay for an excellent example, which if you follow the post I linked above, you’ll see that some crackhead dealer in Seattle wouldn’t budge fr $2,500 over top-end KBB with body damage; thus, I guess nostalgia has some sort of price limit.Quote:

Oops, dammit. Just noticed the CL ad I linked says "needs transmission."
To be fair, after I got done with mine it needed one too.Quote:

I know that’s weird as it’s not even my Rosebud but a good story sticks with you.
It’s shit like this that warms my heart about this place.Quote:

I had that exact se in black. Also my og 2 door was also black with slick factory red striping. The 2 door ruled as a 5 speed. Killed it in snow. The 95 was nice but not as cool.Quote:

That’s a 2004.
Which weren’t bad at all. Just not the same.
Hmmm. My wife's sister bought a '94 Pathfinder as her first car. It was pale green with a V6 but I thought it was under powered. It had really big tires which made the turning radius fall somewhere between a semi trailer and a VLCC, but those big tires prevented the car from being swallowed up by Hoboken sewers during the manhole cover stealing days of the 90's.
I eventually found her sister's ass in that thing so I can vouch for it being an assfinder.
I have an Aztec Red 1995 Pathfinder SE-V6 w/offroad package. ~ 250k
Alloy 31's, Foglights, Moonroof, Automatic w/OD, Swing-out spare...nerf bars took the big rust hit, got water inside, but still have all the mount hardware.
For a resto, it's probably a good candidate. Very little rust, a few dings.
Mountain life has kept it solid but a 9 month stint in florida, summer '13, initiated some rust spots.
Easy fixes. Actually, the 'Patina' of the ole mtn. rig is perfect here in JH.
Motor and trans are solid, some oil leak at valve covers. I like to wrench, so it has a good maintenance history. About 3 yrs. ago, I backed off of it and now use it as a deep snow morning driver.
In a pinch, I'd drive it across the country.
If it's of any interest, I'd like to hand it to a fan of the Pathy and ideally, a proven mag. Cheap too. Less than a grand. I'm a bartering type to boot...

Only pic, I have at the moment. This w/the winter studded snows on.
My dad had two of the 2-Door Gen 1s with the stick. He loved them.Quote:

He now has a 5th Gen as a company car and fucking hates it. Glorified minivan he calls it.
I still love the wheels on the Gen 1 SE's

ETA, though I could make an exception for Djongo’s rig.

If this thread produces results Bmills is looking for, perhaps we can leverage success and find glademaster a girlfriend next?
I see Djongo's AssFinder and I want to paint it black.Quote:

It's not for sale, but I'd do it in the right sitch. Thought about bailing on it often but hard to do. Still titties on the deep days.
The off road pkg. was pretty uncommon; had the push button 2 way shocks, firm on the washboard was amazingly stable going over Union Pass rd. Soft on the roadwayz.
Also push button power/economy. Power keeps you in rpm's when bogging out on a steep uphill. Tittaaaaaaaaayz.
Bad Brains
I'd drive that across the country for gas money.
Good on ya', BMills. I had a 89 (? I think?) red, two door with the triangle rear window and transformer alloys in college. 5 speed. Several years later, I had a 94 four door, same body style, same alloys, same 5 speed. That SE V6 is bulletproof and one of the best V6 engines ever built. I have fond memories of both of those trucks, I remember the 2 door especially being incredible in the snow..
