Right now, I'm currently working on my 93 Nissan Pathfinder aka Shelly. She's been running on 5 cylinders for the past year or so now. I have barely any compression in #5 cylinder. She's a dog in the wind and hills and having 33s doesn't help. Stock motor is the almighty VG30E with 180k+ miles on her with the 2wd slushbox backing it up. At home, I'm working on putting in the the VG33E from an '02 Nissan Xterra. I'll be tearing that motor apart and doing some headwork since Xterras are known to have bad headgaskets and the one I have does. I'll be machining down the crank snout so I can retain all my current motor accessories.. PS, AC, etc. and convert the motor to OBD1. I have headers for it and I'm working on converting Shelly to 4WD. I've completely rebuilt a D44 out of a '85 Jeep Grand Wagoneer will be replacing the inferior front suspension aka IFS. Transfer case has 3.7:1 gear ratio installed, and 4x4 slush box is getting rebuilt with a shift kit. Here's some snazzy photos...

So you're wondering where my lil red hatch is? Sister drives it now, but I'll be doing some repair work on it later this month. I'll post pictures when I get'r done.
