We have a computer that gives us prices other yards are charging for certain parts and we usually go off that. It's also usually to try and get what we put into the car and make a profit. Same with just about anything. I know alot of junkyards that sell stuff real cheap (but they aren't run right business wise) and some that charge a ton of money. so it's hit or miss.

We are paying a small fee to be included on the list. But nothing extravagant. Had to go through a ton of hoops and such just to get approve. and a TON of explorers got taken off the road. Most the top 10 list of cars traded in were explorers of various years.

yeah I figured i'd have to take those pieces off. I just wasn't sure if it was stuck on with the regular cloth part.

reattaching with glue while it's still in isn't happening lol. I'd much rather take the headliner piece out itself. It should just be clips but I've seen some goofy headliners. My old SL1 headliner I used glue on though and it made a hell of a mess. I'll never use it while it's inside again. But that vinyl bar is separate from the rest of the headliner?

A lot of clunkers are not being sent straight to the crusher. People assume that's what happens. And that's what the government is trying to say. The whole Cash 4 Clunkers businss is BS. A lot of dealers are still waiting on their money (i thought we were in debt). Not to mention when a good percentage of those people who couldn't afford a new car (hence why they are driving a clunker) default on their loan. Then you tank the economy again. Then you eliminate multiple cars from the pool. So you dwindle the numbers of cars to get your parts off of. Not to mention they have to be crushed by a certain point and time. We have around 20 CFC cars at the junkyard. Some you can see why they were traded in like that. Others... Well. We got a 99 Bravada. Top trim level. MINT condition. Not even 50k miles. Engine is seized as tight as possible. 85 LTD, 60k original miles, mint condition. We've got a few F-Series pickups that are junk. But for the most part most of it is near mint condition or very acceptable condition. One of the big things is the government is strictly regulating what junkyards get these vehicles. You gotta go through alot to hook them in. And they HAVE to be destroyed after a certain time period. 180 days or something around that. Also it's Sodium Silicate they run in the engine rather than Oil. Liquid Glass essentially.

i hate odd colored interiors. I guess back then it was popular. I couldn't live with a red interior. I've always had grey or black. That's my preference. It looks clean though. I dig that grill more than my 94's though.

yeah I can see where they'd be quite the pain. Not to mention I imagine 15+ year old plastic isn't what it used to be. Luckily mine are in the headliner. Although I was confused at first cause I saw no speakers but heard sound. Then I looked up and realized they were there lol.

yeah in the hatch wouldn't be as good of an idea. It'd be fine for a while. But over time I think it'd eventually mess them up. Not to mention having to run wires and worry about the internals of the liftgate. Although it'd be pretty cool to have one of those fold down speaker things like the Dodge Caliber has lol. also didn't the rear speakers in the early WD21's have some kind of floating thing over the rear wheel wells? I saw one yesterday and thought it looks... different.

How does it come down? Or the grey vinyl covered piece in the center, does that come down seperately from the rest of the headliner? the vinyl is coming off mine and I'm going to replace it or reattach the vinyl. but it's got pushpins holding the vinyl up now.

While I am not denying your rattle canned interior plastics look "awsum." There are just better ways to go about it. rattle canning something usually turns out just looking cheap. Dash trim kits can look cheap. and some can look awful. It's all personal preference. There's more prep if you rattle can an interior than if you use the trim kit. That and a trim kit isn't going to be permenant lol

193k. As far as I know original engine and drivetrain. my truck is a one owner truck though so I can't complain.

the stock roof racks are a bit weak. Last I checked they were only rated for around 80 lbs. max.

agreed

just all black.

Yeah I wouldn't advise it at all. It's just what i've seen. It'd be too much pressure on it if it's notched and going off road.

Priced out the Speed Sensor. $178 through Nissan. Also got a new key cut for $4. So the speed sensor is iffy. I guess I'll take it out and see if the gear on it is still good. and if the gear is still good I'll have to find a way to get current through it and test it.

Only thing I can think of is a spacer. I know the minitruck crowd has notched tie-rod ends but I doubt they make them for pathfinders. Especially considering the Off Road crowd drives them. Spacer might be your only option or to make your own notched tie-rod.

Everything works fine except for the speedo. It just sits on 0 eternally. I tried a whole new cluster in with one I knew to be good. I'm going to call Nissan to see what they say tomorrow. Maybe price out the sensor

Just a little update: replaced the speedometer today and got nothing. So I'm going to just give in and go pro on this and call up Nissan tomorrow to get their verdict. Computer isn't telling me via the lights. So i can't be 100%. also found the Thorleys on Rocky Road Outfitters. and my tail/liftgate is fixed now. I got it opened and it just needed a little grease in that lock

I didn't see anything on Rocky Road Outfitters about THorleys though.

you should see what temp it comes on so you don't run too hot. Wasn't the pathfinder already equipped with an E-Fan? Or did you just install a more efficient fan?

I'd suggest the fuse box personally. But if you're going from an underhood source it'd be a little more difficult. No matter what just make sure you fuse it lol. Can never be too careful.

I'm sorry. I didn't say it like to be a jerk lol. I hate how you can't express tone over the internet sometimes. I'm just saying I'll try it again. also went to the thorley site. They had a set of chrome for $569 or so. Also I think I have a hydraulic clutch. The set they have now wouldn't work with mine.

I did try with the key. I'll try again today. If it doesn't work I'll take the interior panel off and check the linkages and all.

He got the cat separately. https://www.4x4parts.com/catalog/product_in...roducts_id=4146 there is a set on that website. Ceramic coated though. I dunno much else about it. The one pictured obviously isn't a V6. I checked rocky road outfitters and they didn't have much for pathfinders. They had some rock sliders and I think some suspension stuff. I dunno if I'd have to call and see if they had them or not.
