Hey all, I live in The PNW (Pacific Northwest), USA. I snowboard, rock climb, and hike throughout the mountains in Washington and Oregon. I just purchased a 2008 Nissan Pathfinder LE V8 4WD (R51) with 115k miles. I’m new to Nissan and hoping it will last 250k miles as my project outdoor car, so I’m looking to learn from others on this forum. I want to rig it up, so I can reach some trails that I haven’t been able to make in the PNW. I’m also considering getting a light RV trailer to tour around the US with my 2 dogs . I also want it to look badass when I drive through the city. Here are some photos of it stock when I purchased it:

To start, I’m having Accessory Outfitters in Portland put on an ARB suspension kit lifting it 2.5”-3” to prepare for some 33s. Rose City dip is going to plasti dip my emblems, trim, grill, and stock rims Matte Black.

Feel free to send me recommendations and suggestions. I’m all ears!

Hey, I am new on here and just saw your post, it looks like we have a very similar Pathfinder. I just got a black 2010 LE 4wd with black leather interior and about 87k miles on it.

They both look great!

 

[R51 Front Tow Hooks]

Hello, I am looking for front stock tow hooks for my 2010 Pathfinder (R51). 
When I purchased my Pathfinder it had a brush guard which I have removed and want to put back the original tow hooks.

 Located in Northern California.

 Thank you!!

Hello all, I recently purchased a 2010 Pathfinder LE 4wd. It is Super Black Metallic with leather interior, has the Bose sound system and nav. I was pretty excited to find it in such good condition with one owner and about 87k miles. It currently has Michelin LTX AT2’s and is all stock.

I had a 2009 Xterra Offroad in the past and really liked it, did some minor things to it like serpentine belt, air/cabin filters, hood strut conversion and put Bilstein 5100’s in it (but didn’t lift it).

I needed something with more space so was looking for a Pathfinder.

I plan to keep it mostly stock but would like to do similar things, I ordered a hood strut kit, struts for the back hatch and window and cabin air filters.

It had a chrome brush guard on the front which I removed (I don’t need it and like the look without better, it is for sale in Nor-Cal if anyone is interested).

I do need to find some stock front tow hooks to put back where the brush guard was.

This will be mostly driven in town and car camping but I would like to do more road trips and explore some fire roads, etc. with my family.

The Pathfinder has a lower ground clearance than I expected which makes me want to consider a mild lift, just to pass over small objects on dirt roads if necessary. I know the Bilstein’s I purchased for my Xterra are supposed to be able to provide a lift if you use a different setting and I’m sure I will look on this forum for guidance in the future.

 

 Thanks!
