2003 Pathfinder build and a weirdly viral Insta

[Panhandle Jeff]

Hey everyone,

Back in December I created an Insta to post pics and videos of my lifted 1998 CR-V AWD 5-speed manual in action along the F.A.T. but I haven't been out since then because hunting season, so the Insta basically sat dormant.

A few weeks ago on FB Marketplace, I saw a 2003 Nissan Pathfinder SE part-time shiftable 4WD with automatic transmission, seized engine, and some rust-through in the cargo floor. I picked it up along with a junkyard VQ35DE, spending less than $1000 total for both. Then I spent about $500 on a cheap MIG welder and a bottle of C25 gas. I started posting some quick reels about it, and on a whim I made a teaser reel for it.

That reel is approaching 1m views and I suddenly have 19,000 Instagram followers. Ho. Lee. Schitt.

Here's the Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeffgoeswheeling/

Here's a pic of how it was when I dragged it home:

That's awesome man. I am looking at picking up a nice 97 pathfinder. Runs and drives but has a CE light on, code is for MAF sensor. Hoping that is the only issue but otherwise it is super clean. I will post pictures once I get it up and running about the desert out here.
