Thanks guys, found some wheels close by for about 35 bucks a piece. I'm really leaning this way now since it would look a lot nicer and be a lot better just in case I do blow a tire. Probably looking at about 50-60 bucks by the time I get a decent yard tire and get it mounted and balanced and such. Thanks for the offers on the tire covers, but I think I'm convinced now, especially after reading the warnings in the users manual about the small spare. I’m getting er titled and insured today. BTW, the system shows the front and rear wheels as different because the fronts have the hole for the hub, I'm assuming a rear would fit on both, worst case I'd have to leave the decorative center off.

That's a darn good idea, I may have to do that too. Thanks for the suggestion.

OK, I think where the screws are is already off. (The right side is broken off) I'm at the clips now, so it's just a matter of persuasion it sounds like ha. There's like a little metal bracket that is clipped to the steel panel of the lift gate, and slides into grooves in the plastic piece. Wasn't sure if I should be trying to remove the whole thing from the metal, bracket and all, or the plastic strip from the clips. It's a 91 SE, but I assume they are all the same.

Hey all. I'm trying to remove that plastic piece on the lift gate that has "Nissan" written on it. I've been pulling on it, but afraid to pull much harder that I'll break it. Any one know any tricks to get that off? Thanks.

Yeah I did spray some PB in there and banged on it a little, then from behind I tried to use an air hammer to hammer it out. I tried to bang it either way with a hammer too, but it won't budge. Didn't look welded, but I should take a closer look. I was going to spend this week re-spraying it and giving it some time to penetrate and take another whack at next weekend.

So far so good. Got the fuel leak fixed, indexed and adjusted the torsion bars. Got the tape out of the tape deck, but still may upgrade, but at least I don’t hear clicking and can listen to the radio now. Cleaned it up inside and out and it’s starting to look great. I put some of that back to black stuff on the fender flares and it really helped it look a lot better. I still have some plans, but for the most part I’ve got a lot accomplished. Here’s what I still want to do soon: Need shocks bad, they are totally shot Still need to fix the passenger window The passenger lock locks fine, but doesn’t unlock with the rest?? I’d like to grease the suspension Change the tranny fluid (found I already have an aftermarket tranny cooler) Give it a general tune up Probably should change the diff fluid Remove and paint the bumpers (They came black right) I’ve tried everything and can’t get the trailer hitch receiver out When I do get it out, Paint the trailer hitch I want to try and fix what rust there is, it’s just on the rockers I need new fog lights, or at least one since the passenger side glass is broken. Fix the dent in the tailgate Paint the spare tire holder frame Give the paint a thorough polish and wax, there are almost no dents. Do something about the beat up spare tire cover After all that this thing would look great! Most of the stuff doesn’t cost much, just time in doing the work. I’m pretty much a do it yourselfer, so everything above I’ll do myself, just the part costs. Is it a bad idea to hook one end of a chain up to the hitch receiver, the other a tree, put it in 4 wheel low and give er heck… I couldn’t even budge it with an air hammer.

Thanks Guys. Don’t think the shocks have even been replaced, they aren’t doing much but making noises. That’s one of the first upgrades I’m looking into. Werd on the tape deck, figure I can pick something up relatively cheap. Looking forward to getting some off-roading in once I feel everything is in good condition. I always worry things have been terribly neglected by the last owners (and they probably were)

Thanks, I like the color too.

Hey all, Been a member here for a year and a half and have a whopping 5 posts. I am however a very experienced lurker. Been looking at pathfinders for almost 2 years now, finally found a pretty decent one for cheap. Not too long ago I also purchased some old 240z's for restoration, and have been getting so fed up trying to transport parts in a car, finally got serious about finding a pathy. This ones a 91 with 120k on it. The Good: Low price within my range, paid $1000 Great body and frame rails with very little rust (relatively speaking for a 15 yo WI truck) Engine and Transmission seem in good working order Quite a few options Fairly low mileage for the price Good Tires Has trailer hitch and wiring that I need Not so Good: Had fuel leak. Fixed already, rubber hose between the fuel rails. What a PITA Tape stuck in tape deck so all you hear is clicking. Passenger window out of track, need to open that up and check things out. Sport/Touring button doesn't work. I wasn't even going to worry about this, should I? Front Torsion beams need adjusting, did that already too. Dent in Tailgate, can probably get a paintless dent removal done. Here's some pics:
