Eagle Rock IS square tubing all around the rear (and on top). Not sure why.
Kansas isn't too bad if you want to keep the camo - but some of the close-ups showed it peeling in spots. Not a very pretty site. On the other hand, it does have the Targa Band/Light Bar I'm in the hunt for and the one-pad nerf bars, so it might not have been a bad donor... Oh, well - live and learn.

I came across some real "winners" when I was still hunting for my Pathy. I didn't keep the text of the postings, but the pix speak for themselves.
From Loganville, GA:
Eagle Rock, MO, brought this one:
Warrensburg, KS, had one all wrapped up:
And then there's my favorite from Driggs, ID. (Can you even still call it a Pathfinder?)

Installed a JDM inclinometer I bought off ebay from New Zealand:

Hey Paul! I'm a newbie here just like, but it's a friendly place to poke around.
And like you, nearly every car & truck we've owned has been a Nissan. Started with a Sentra in 87. Along the way I've had a few Maxima, an '98 Pathy, a couple Armada and a couple Xterra. I don't know about the Juke, though. Maybe if it came in green...

TahoeRunner-
I know the feeling - I wanted one too. I had just graduated high school when the WD21 was introduced and was in the market for a car. I had it down to an '87 Sentra and an '87 Pathfinder (a friend's father owned a Nissan store) and I did the practical thing and bought the Sentra... So now, finally, 25 years after making the practical choice - I was able to make the choice I wanted to make in the first place.

Kyle- Regarding the manifold, that's the problem that I have now. Sounds horrible - but at least it passed emissions testing. I'm toying with putting one of the Nismo/Borla exhaust kits on it when I get the manifold work done, so I'll replace one kind of rumble with another.
Precise- It is a VG30e, but it's a 4-speed automatic. So half of a grail... And I'm not a stock purist - I'm going for more of a Nismo resto-mod look when it's done. After sorting out the mechanicals and an electrical gremlin with the door locks, the list includes:
- 1993 hardbody chromed grille, marker lights, bumpers, and mirrors
- bull guard (black or chrome, haven't decided)
- chrome nerf bars
- AR-681 chromes wheels
- new paint job (the sides are nice and shiny, but the hood and roof are faded from living in AZ for the past 23 years
- and the holy grail, if I can find one, is a Traga Band/Light Rail
Teixeira & Brian- Thanks, It seemed like the hunt too forever,

After search for nearly a year, I finally found my perfect Pathy. It's a rare 1990 2-door SE-V6 4x4 with only 150K miles. I found the truck in Arizona, and according to the history report it spent most of it's life there. I drove it back here to Tennessee, but had to put new tires on in Albuquerque. (It had a set of passenger car white-walls that were too small for the truck on the ground, and the original spare on the back (per the tire dealer.)
Most of it's still original: It has the original paint, the factory cassette deck, and when I got it to my mechanic I found out that it still had the original timing belt!
Inclinometer is inbound from New Zealand, so that will be the next install - followed by a new audio system. Mechanically it still needs a new valve cover gasket and new exhaust manifolds (per service bulletin 94-041). Over all, it's in great shape and will be the perfect launching platform for a multi-year transformation.

Welcome, Hamz.
Your search was a lot quicker than mine - and that's one good looking truck. You'll find lots of great information (and friendly folks) on this site.
