Attention all you rust-belt dwellers! I just located a vendor that makes pre-formed frame repair kits for the dreaded frame rust problems our Pathfinders suffer from. No more improvised, hacked-up frame welding jobs. Save your self the fabrication hassles if your going to do it yourself, or save money on labor at the auto body shop since it is a pre-formed piece that goes from the rear bumper mount all the way to in front of the trailing arm mount.
The company is called :
http://www.autorust.com OR
http://www.safetcap.com
http://www.autorust.com/store/
They do have an online store but it currently does not have the pathfinder parts listed online. There is a downloadable PDF catalog that does show photos of the parts in question.
I called the supplier to verify that these are still being produced and they are. Yay!
The part #s are as follows: Prices are as of December 2010
ART-044L (Left side repair kit) ($160 USD)
ART-044R (Right side repair kit) ($160 USD)
ART-044S (Set of both sides) ($310 USD)
