Over the last few months we’ve been slowly making progress on the solid Axle Nissan pathfinder project which is now using a h233b diamond axle fabricated housing and Dana 60 steering. The Suspension is just about done and this thing should be on the trail again in the next few weeks! Check out for info on the solid axle swap pathfinder project in the forum at HTTP://forum.ruggedrocks.com!
Whats Next? Rugged Rocks Needs Your Input!
About a year ago Rugged Rocks was neck deep in all kinds of new product projects, and over the last year, one by one, new products were released and the list of open projects grew shorter and shorter. Progress!! Below is an updated list of products that were either new last year or were in progress. As you can see the number of open products has shrunk to just a few. Rugged Rocks has always been enthusiast driven and once again needs your input push the Nissan 4×4 aftermarket forward even further. What do you guys need for your trucks? Lets talk about it on the message board and get the ball rolling on some new products.
I really appreciate everyone’s input and everyone’s business.
Lets keep it going.
