I have seen many Nissans when I worked as a Nissan parts advisor and checking them out for sale on Craigslist Etc.that have rusted out frames making them undrivable and junk.I had a 2004 Nissan Altima and the drivers floor was completely rusted through and if you have one you should take a look under there.For you guys, that have R50's or have seen the ones that have rusty frames where in the framework are the main spots that are rusting through? If yours is?have you done anything to try and save it? Thanks Guys! Born

Here is what I have: http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-SUSPENSION-LIFT-FITS-NISSAN-PATHFINDER-INFINITI-QX4-1996-2004-COIL-STRUT-/281824776471?fits=Year%3A2002%7CMake%3ANissan%7CModel%3APathfinder%7CSubmodel%3ASE%7CEngine+-+Liter_Display%3A3.5L&hash=item419e10d117&vxp=mtr

How are you guys aiming your Off Road lights? I used to use a garage door but not to sure how far back to be and at what height on the door is right? I have 4300K HID Headlights and my 7" 700FF Hellas that I converted to HID on my brush guard now and I have gone out on the blacktop at night to adjust but there is so much light which I wanted but checking to see how you all aimed yours? to the sides ,higher or lower than the other lights etc..

I think there are alot of threads on here that have to do with tires fer sure.There were a few sales going on for tires and time was running out to get the deals on them thats why I posted it.I think I found just about every place that sells tires online and checked and double checked the Free Shipping,extra deals,rebates,instant cash off,Free Visa cards with the purchase of tires and so on and The place that had the Best Deal out there"That I found" was DISCOUNT TIRE DIRECT!Tire Products - Discount Tire Direct I bought the GOODYEAR WRANGLER DURATRACS 245/75R-16s -$25 instant web savings $60 Prepaid Visa Card $30 Prepaid Visa Card and Free Shipping Ended up costing $160 each Seemed alright of a price to me.I havent bought tires for 5 or so years so I was sticker shocked when I started seeing the prices.

Hey Guys, I have aftermarket M/T Wheels with what the Mickey Thompson rep told me that I have 16"x8" wheels with either a 4-7/16" or 3-5/8" with a -22 Offset I am not sure which one yet? But do any of you run 265/75R-16s Tires on your R51? Do they clear the strut? I am getting ready to order some tires and I dont want them to get here and find out they wont clear my strut if you know what I mean.Let me know if any of you are running either 245/75R-16s or 265/70R-16s on your rig? pics if you have them.Thanks Guys,Born

That is a Good Deal! Kind of far for a road trip like you said.Thanks

So far I have looked at Tread Depot and they have some decent deals W/ Free Shipping and some tire companies are offering $40,$60,$80 off on 4 tires and another $25 off from Tread Depot.I was already checking out Treadwright.They have some Great prices on M/T tires.$108 per tire and $30 shipping per tire but that still is a good deal.I contacted them because the tires are re-treads and I was thinking they might be hard to balance? The girl there said they static balance them and for weight they add rubber on the inside somehow?and they also send directions how to balance them?Kind of sounds screwy to me.Discount Tire Direct has good deals with free shipping and also discounted tire with rebates and Tire Buyer.Now if If I could just figure out what A/T OR M/T Tires I think I want? Lots of maybe good ones to pick from and more money for more plies.I want to make sure I get an excellent tire that does well in the snow because we usually get alot here in Iowa.

Welp I am getting ready to splurge on some new tires for my Pathfinder.I only have a 2.5" lift so I am thinking of going with some LT245/75R-16s or LT265/70R-16s in an A/T or M/T?The factory 255/65-16s look to small and I mounted a 265/75-16 on my spare wheel and it fills up the wheel well so much it doesn't look like I have a lift? Those that have ordered tires online know who has the best deal out there including shipping charges?Thanks in advance Born

Time and cash flow and away you go!

Where did you get that light bar? Brand?Part #s? You have any night pics with only the LED Bar on from your driving position? I would like to see how they light up everything.Thanks,Born

That Infinity QX4 looks nice to and quite a bit less?

The CarFax is good! One owner.I have the 5 speed also and really like it.It looks clean.Any check engine lights? The Cat convertors are expensive to replace.Check it out good!At least you shouldnt have to worry about rust like We do up North.The dealer is there to make his buck Like karmann said Cash $4500-$4750 ??

Thats a little high.I bought my 02 2 years ago for $5000.If you have Nissan dealers around you check with them if they have taken one in? If they have a few more miles on them they will wholesale them off to a Pot Lot or run them through the auction.I have seen some nice ones go for about $4000.Good Luck

Amazon had the best deal when I was searching for the best price on my Rola.It is a nice HD rack and they offer an extension if you want it longer?They are $109 plus they want $29.95 shipping still a good price.

Wow that Pathfinder looks like a Monster with those headlights looking at you!Cool!

Where have you guys found the best prices on the LED lights??

They make a HID H-3 set up.I purchased My HID kits from simplyhid.com.I put a set in my HELLA 700FFs and I myself have never seen anything as bright as they are and it was an easy fab.I have the high/low HB2 HIDs for my headlamps they have a bluish tint that I like anyway so I am kind of looking for a couple bluish tint and 100watt H-3s for my driving lights for now if its safe to run 100 or 130 watt bulbs in there? Is it safe if any of you are running them?Maybe for the price of the good bulbs they have on amazon it would be better just to get another HID kit? They sure are bright! But the reflector in your light body is more important to a good light beam I think? Who has the best bargains for driving/Fog lamps and bulbs

How long have you had the 100 watt H-3s in? No problems ?

They are on sale now for $29.95.Thats a good deal for HID.

I checked out Rigid Dually Spots website looks like some nice lighting.Did you buy the flush mounted lights and install them where the factory fogs are? Do you know what ones you bought?

I am looking for some brighter H-3 Bulbs for my driving lights on my R50 and was checking to see what you guys are running in yours that work good? Is anyone using 100 watt H-3s in your driving lights without any burnt wiring problems? LED for the driving lights? Is anyone using the LED lighting for your off-road lights? Better?

CARFAX? And remember to stay away from Pathfinders that come from states like Minnesota that use salt all winter long.Alot of rust buckets roll through the car auctions and can end up anywhere.

I was an auto body tech for years and the correct way to fill those holes is to fill with a welder.You grind around the hole and inside the hole down to metal.Get your small metal pieces cut out.You hold the metal behind the hole and tack it and slowly fill the hole in and grind it back down smooth as possible and use body filler over each hole when your done.Then sand smooth and primer undercoat the rear.Take your time filling in with the welder or your panel will get too hot and warp your metal then you have more of a problem.Good Luck! Your Pathfinder looks Great!! Nice Ride!

I would take the new rotors to a shop and have them turn the rotors enough to make sure they are right.I have seen it happen before with the new ones out of the box when I worked for years at the parts counter.The only other thing like someone said about the caliper locking up.Good Luck

What brand,series and size is your original spare tire?How much do you need for it? Thanks, Born
