In some ways I am. I do love the freedoms of living in the USA and Utah is one of the best states in my opinion. Great variety of terrain, only lacking a sea shore, and enjoys more personal freedoms than most of the country. We even have an official state gun! The 1911 creator John Moses Browning was from Ogden Utah, and created it here about a 20 min drive from where I currently live.

That's it, I'm moving!

So I’m new to the forums as a member but would browse through for useful information, well anyway I was on market place just browsing and I see a nice Qx4, has some rust on the doors but it could be fixed. Well that got me thinking, I’m not too sure but isn’t the body, chassis the same for the Qx4 and pathfinder, so would you be able to in theory swap the fenders hood, front bumper, etc or is the Qx4 wider or something else that would stop it from fitting right? I’m not really sure what category to put this in, but I just wonder, could be cool if you could not sure though, if anyone could explain why or why not I’d appreciate it.

Oh, and welcome to NPORA!

That should work. Not sure how much behind the bumper and so forth you'd have to grab to make sure everything bolts up properly (I don't think you'll need anything other than the superficial stuff, but I'm no expert), but the vehicles are the same width and so forth so not massive issues like you're worried about; it's all the same unibody structure. Depending on the year, the QX4 may have HID headlights, so there may be some wiring to do to get them going, but if you can they look great in my opinion (shape and light output), so worth it. The plastic flares on the QX4's fenders on post-facelift models does flow into the trim on the doors, so if you're planning to swap all the bits front to back you can make the look smooth and complete, but otherwise you may have some compromises.

It is for a thermistor, however, the 01 oem maf does not have a thermistor. So this is an aftermarket part of some sort. Maybe the person who installed it cut it off since it wasn’t necessary

I am still going to work 5 days per week. I am an auto mechanic so one of the "essential" workers. So after I put in my 8 to 6 day, I go home and read, sometimes watch something and sleep. Utah is one of the few states that is still allowing people out if they keep things reasonable. Our governor says the demographics make a one size fits all mandate unreasonable. So it was left to the counties and cities to decide how much they are going to limit our freedoms. So if I am not working on my truck on Thursdays ( one of my off days) or doing some other chores after being lazy and sleeping in, I am able to isolate myself in my truck and drive around. The last 2 Sundays I managed to stay in until noon, then I went out and drove up a local canyon into the mountains. Played in the mud and snow a bit, burned off some ammo doing some target shooting, picked up about 40 pounds of spent brass (folks here are getting a little stir crazy and the ranges are either closed or have lines, so they have discovered the fun of outdoor shooting on public land) and generally relaxed. I have reaffirmed that .40 S&W is a round that simply doesn't excite me. I need to find a 357 Sig barrel for my Sig P239 and see what that does. Still have ammo for the 9's, 380's, .45 ACP, .45 Colt, and .22's, even the .223. But for the most part, been having just as much fun with the lowly .22 rimfires as I do with the center fires. The ammo is cheaper too, so it is mostly just the little ones that are getting used.

That's sad to hear man! Last I heard my Q is still kickin, I hope the current owners give me a call when it dies...there will be no saving it, but I figure if I have a parts rig I'll have to buy another!
