JohnnyGIxxer Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Ok I'm trying to take the bumper off the 95 pathy but I can only find one 12mm bolt per side and one small 10mm per side that appeares to be holding on to the lower shroud.. Is this right or please clue me in as to where to find the second 12mm bolt. About to take a sledge hammer to it. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) 2 on each side, accessible from under the fender, one is recessed within a bracket, the bolts on each side are the same size. The lower shroud should come off separately from the bumper. This may help you see where the bolts would be: Edited November 29, 2014 by ahardb0dy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 ^pretty much. No need to use a sledgehammer when a wiffle ball bat will do the trick, especially if you have already removed 1 of the bolts. Stout they are not! It might help thinking of it as a signal light holder instead of a bumper... If you go to the garage section and download a Factory Service manual from the pinned thread, BF-6 will show you a basic expanded view, and the rest of the manual is pretty handy as well...

nunya Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 The bolt you can see per side on the actual frame rail, above it in the inner fender there is a cutout about the size of a socket, you can see the other bolt there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGIxxer Posted November 29, 2014 Author Share Posted November 29, 2014 Ok thanks . I didn't see the lower bolt when taking off the top one. I'll take a look fom underneath the bracket tomorrow. Thanks for the info. Trying to get the 3 inch lift on this weekend so I can go get some 32's on it. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahardb0dy Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 At the junkyard i use two 12" long extensions with a swivel that way it puts the ratchet outside the fender, makes it real easy to get the bolts out. (At home I use a 24" extension, won't fit in my junkyard tool bag ! LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 It might help thinking of it as a signal light holder instead of a bumper... B Very accurate analogy Mr. Precise. So true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGIxxer Posted December 1, 2014 Author Share Posted December 1, 2014 I got all the nylon spacers in place but can't line up the two rear bolts yet. The picture of the bracket that holds the bumper/signal light holder is upside down. That's why I was confused , because I had seen that same image online before asking you guys. Lol. Anyway, that's what I did with my weekend. Hopefully I'll get everything reconnected within the next couple of days as work and family life allows and then its off to the tire shop. Thinking of getting the black steelies or maybe just painting the aluminum wheels black to save some bucks. What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted December 1, 2014 Share Posted December 1, 2014 I had a lot of trouble getting my bumper back on, partially because the mounts are bent (that's actually why I had it off in the first place). I loosened the mounts from the bumper to get the brackets to line up, then tightened them again once the mounts were bolted up. Lots of people paint the factory Lego rims. I've got a set of generic black snow tire rims on mine now and IMO they actually suit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGIxxer Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Got my body lift done, got new wheels and tires. The four black bumper relocate bars that came in the kit has my bumper on all wonky. Anyone have example pictures of how you put yours on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGIxxer Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) . So this is what my pathfinder is looking like. Edited December 24, 2014 by JohnnyGIxxer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Never took a pic but I cut my stock brackets and re-welded them. Eff those 'brackets', wd21 bumpers are cosmetic to begin with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGIxxer Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 I hear you man. Figure I'll use this bumper until a friend fabs up a proper bumper for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebayfish Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 This thread helped me a lot http://www.nissanpathfinders.net/forum/topic/31068-ac-3-body-lift-install-on-91-nissan-terrano/?hl=%2Bterrano+%2Bbody+%2Blift. he cut and wilded his old bracket, and illistrated how. Only about 3/4 inch of weld holding the bumper, but probably much stronger than those 4 goofy reloction brackets. Did you get the correct rear bots? M12x1.25x180?
