Back in the day the Hardbody and the early pathfinder center consoles had the storage compartment lid that opened up to the rear, Nissan offered thru the parts dept a solid armrest pad that bolted to the top of the lid, making it more useable as an armrest. Later on the pathfinders started coming with the plastic storage compartment that opened to the pass side. When I had my 87 hardbody I bought one of the plastic ones and installed it in my stock console (after removing the stock lid of course). Some of you may know I need the little clip that the top of the lid latches into to hold the lid down. I just looked on an online Nissan parts site and in Nissan FAST and both show the consoles with the rearward opening lids, so if the taller plastic storage compartment type console's came stock why can't I find a reference to it anywhere??

Fan clutch $47 to $76 at Rockauto, $76 one is the Beck-Arnley part

I was going to ask about the same thing, since my step daughters BF bought that 2000 xterra, I thought it looked like it might be a possibility,

I will also recommend www.searchtempest.com it searches multiple craigslist cities from a set number of miles from a given zipcode, you can also set min/max prices, photos, etc.

I actually drove mine 3 days in a row to work and still have a little gas left !!. Picked up a pair of Bose 901's for a guy at work and used the PF to bring them to work to give to the guy, first day after being on call and returning my F-550 utility truck drove PF home, second day took the speakers to work but we got stuck working late so I missed him, yesterday finally gave him the speakers. AC is not working in my sentra and took out the sub box to re-do it so drove the PF. Sentra today as PF is about out of gas. This weekend will be installing the new trans mount maybe cleaning it.

I also e-mailed Calmini about replacement bushings, as I found on other forums that people were saying to just call them and they would send out new ones for free, got an e-mail back with them saying they don't have replacement bushings that you have to buy the whole idler arm for $350 !!! Ok !! right !!

Yup, mines been shot since I bought the truck, I jammed a piece of rubber between the 2 halves to minimize the noise hopefully replacing it with this will stop any noise all together.

Just arrived, so pretty looking, LOL even cheaper than rockauto, $37 delivered e-bay, sold 2 old Car Audio Magazines and bought this with the money

Here's a newer special edition called the "Nissan Pathfinder Mammoth Sports Adventure Special Edition" see link below: http://www.nicarfinder.co.uk/news/1382 and another, "2011 Nissan Pathfinder Celebrates Milestone With Silver Edition" http://www.autobytel.com/nissan/pathfinder/2011/car-buying-guides/2011-nissan-pathfinder-celebrates-milestone-with-silver-edition-107828/

It looks like you ran 4 wires up to the lights? Why? You should run 2 wires, one for each pair, run one wire to the far side light than use a scotch lok connector and a short piece of wire to tie in the second light, do the same for the other pair of lights, this way you only run 2 wires up to the roof. Looks good though, I would put some wire loom over the wires under the truck and under the hood makes it look cleaner.

free from junkyard or if you want to be honest maybe $1

Junkyard or dealer this part in red? About $11 at a dealer or $7 and change online dealer:

send your vin number in a private message ( or post it if you want), I can look up what your truck actually is, here is a sample of what comes up with the vin number: this tells you the following: Model series production date exterior color interior color body style engine transmission type trim level number of doors emissions type (fed or Ca) drive (2 or 4 wheel) decoding the model number will tell you what options came on the truck originally

Looks good thanks

Does anyone know if you can get replacement bushings for the calmini idler arm? Thanks

Very cool link !! I ran the Vin for my pathfinder,sentra and my old 87 hardbody, hardbody report showed no owners after 2001, that's when I traded it in at a dealer. But if it went to an auction it should say it, I did a search for the Q45 we used to have and that one showed it went to an auction than was in an accident and was destroyed , Hardbody report is Weird.

I haven't had that problem but when I had my hardbody one time a tranny shop put the bars back in and only had the lockdown nut on top, and when turning into where I live the nut let go and the bolt and the half round block fell out, good thing I had the 2 stage bars as the secondary adjuster kept the fender off the tire.

I have 2 of these tools made especially for running wires thru rubber plugs or on the edge of large grommets, make it lot easier, the larger tool will take up to 4 gauge: http://www.matcotools.com/Catalog/pliers-and-sets/electricians-electronic/accessories/

Forgot to add, Be careful when working on "Warm" hubs, don't want to burn your hands, :tongue:

Ordered a new rear tranny mount from E-bay finally

The bumper with the hitch $275 plus tax (and shipping if you don't live down here)

Me too, could always use a receiver hitch, if not for towing to mount my Warn shackle mount in. here it is unpainted: The company makes them to order, it's not something they make and stock so small changes are probably not a problem, (extra spacers, ends cut even, for ex), I'll e-mail them for prices.

There is a shop not far from me that has 2 options in a double tube bumper for the pathfinder, they make good quality parts and made a triple/double roll bar for me years ago for my hardbody. Not sure on pricing but here are the 2 styles they make:

Jim Connor Racing used to sell fiberglass fenders back in the day, they had a larger flare than the stock 4x4 fenders, but they were no way close to what those look like. I had a pair to put on my hardbody but before I had a chance to have them installed a customer came in to the shop looking to buy a pair of the fenders so I sold him mine.

Sport mode is good on the open highway it reduces sway
