Yeah, who would have thought lockers help for wheeling and making cool pics.
Just to throw it out there, here are a couple pics. The owner has added new links that had people asking if things were broke since they freed up more travel.

as a previous pathfinder owner lifted 1990 4 door se-v6, it was much more off-road oriented than 4runners were then. mine would flex like that stock with the sway bars off and without having the torsions cranked excessively, it had a stout fully boxed frame, v6, 5spd, with the nissan H233B rear end. The H233b is one stout piece, 31 or 33 splined axles shafts that are nearly the diameter of some dana 60 shafts if i remember correctly and a drop out 3rd member with a 9.2" ring gear. The SE's all had disc brakes and LSD's from the factory as well. Naturally that changed in 1996 when they released the unibody pathfinder.
i am actually looking for one or a hardbody (pre-frontier truck) to build a toy out of. Calmini, the one with the bolt-on coilover SAS conversion for frontiers and xterras is also building a kit for the older models and it is basically the same as swapping a toyota of the same year but you use either a waggy axle or an EB radius arm setup there are a few of these swaps going on now.

A guy here in my offices just did a SAS on his Pathy. Running 37s with enough clearance to go to 40s I'd bet. Looks just stupid scary, way too high. But he likes it, so it's cool.

Here's a couple of me with stock links, but my rear shock was disconnected. There's still a lot more flex in our vehicles with just a little bit of work:

My dad has a 1990 pathfinder and It is not a good wheeling veihicle. It is a v6 auto and It has already had 2 trans. I was thinking about buying it and making it in to my trail rig beings he has put 250K miles on it and he is getting ready to by a taco. But I think it would be more trouble than it would be worth. Every time you get on the gas I acts like it is getting ready to blow up. I would like to sas it and make it a bad trail rig but with that week motor and supper week trans I will pass.
