  1. Stripped all the interior trim today as well as the door panels to clean all the dirt in there and there were no pigtails. All good though. Either going to stick to the manual mirrors or swap the electric ones and just move them to the right position for me and call it a day. Thanks fellas
  2. Thanks for the info 93. Probably sounds ridiculous but I may even set them up without the cabling, and just adjust them manually. Once I have them set to my preference I don't think I'll be moving them much. It's an aesthetic choice more than anything. The xe manual mirrors do provide more viewability but I love how the se mirrors look.
  3. Gonna check to see if those pigtails are there but my XE doesn’t have powerlocks. Hopefully I can find a donor that I can swap the entire unit + wires from. I was just at two lkq’s but the pathy’s got stripped quick /: Last resort I can wire them up with the diagram you provided. Thanks for the dropbox link!
  4. Anyone ever try this? The electric mirrors look better imo. Wondering if anyone has gone thru the hassle of wiring up the controls on an XE pathfinder and if so, where did you route them to. I'm assuming you had to take them off of another pathy along with the controls, but any info would be great. Thx! -Moykas
  5. Looking to buy a set of 4 15" Alloys. The classic lego design wheels. Ideally in pretty clean condition. Restoring my '87 Pathfinder and want to revamp the look by getting rid of the XE wheels. I saw the eBay listings for refurbished alloys, but for some reason they look different once they get resprayed (like bulkier bc of the thickness of the paint). They also become a darker shade of gray, whereas the OEM versions I've seen are a nice light silver tone. Let me know if you're letting go of a set of clean, non refurbed alloys. Thanks!
  6. For sure, thanks again for your insight Frenchy. Will keep the thread posted on which route I go for the suspension components & tires.
  7. Thanks a lot for your insight, Frenchy. Funny enough, I had ordered the OME steering stabilizer a while back but took too long to pick it up, and by the time I went to 4wheelparts they were no longer selling it /: Only sites that I see have them right now are in the UK. Would you say it's a necessity for our pathfinders? I had a quick question about the OME Shocks as well - I'm seeing that on shock surplus they have a firm or soft valving option (https://www.shocksurplus.com/products/old-man-emu-nitrocharger-sport-gas-shocks-set-for-1987-1995-nissan-pathfinder-4wd?variant=32488624291889). Where did you get your OMEs? And did you have that option? Thats the only seller I've seen that has them with a valving option. I hadn't considered the Firestones but I read your review and they seem appealing due to their tread pattern and durability. Have you ever tried the Yokohama Geolandars or the Toyo Open Country III/s? Looking at all my options at this point since it's a big purchase.
  8. Hey y'all, recently purchased an '87 WD21 w/ 130k miles. Was originally looking for a 4 door, but I fell in love with the 2 door when I saw it in person. The current suspension is old and saggy so I'm looking to upgrade. I'd like to run 31" General Grabbers (currently has the stock 30"). My goal is to give my pathy a slight lift (~0.5-1") to properly fit the 31" tires. Looking for a slightly firmer ride than stock, although I don't have a true reference because this suspension is shot and bouncy. I plan to keep the truck light - no front bumpers, no tire carrier, and I'm eventually going to remove the roof rack. Debating between: Option A: Bilstein 4600 setup (~$350) + Generic brand springs ($~120) = ~$480 My question if I go this route is, which springs would you recommend I pair with these shocks? The only springs I can seem to find are the Mevotechs & other similar inexpensive options. I found the OME springs, but if I get those, I feel like I might as well go with the full OME setup. Option B: Old Man Emu Nitrocharger (~$550) + OME2608 (Front) & OME2920 (Rear) ($~400) = ~$1,000 My question here is, are the OME2608 suitable for my truck? Vividracing lists them as compatible with pathfinders all the way up to 2014, whereas the rear OME2920 are 86-95 specific. Curious if anyone has experience with these setups. I'm set on either Bilstein since I trust their monotube design, or OME since I hear they're the cream of the crop. Would be nice to save by getting the Bilstein setup, but I wouldn't mind spending extra to get it right the first time. Any insight would be very helpful and greatly appreciated. Thank you! -Moykas
