Gotrek Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) I think I've put my last repair in the pathfinder this weekend. New idler pulley and new rear sway bar links. I think this will be my last fix before I let this old beast die. I've fixed so many things it runs and drives like new. But I can no longer keep up with the frame cancer And finding a frame with no rust around here is next to impossible. I just fixed the Frame sides but now the top of the frame is gone. Also rusty lower quarters ahve caused all kinds of electrical issues (water where all the wriing/relays are = bad!!!) I just don't want to let it die I love the damn thing. Now on to the Xterra question. Someone told me the frame is the same as our generation pathfinder, is this true? Could I transplant my pathy's body onto an xeterra frame? I should probably just buy and Xterra though Edited March 26, 2007 by Gotrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 The Xterra (WD22) is the next generation of the WD21... but I wouldnt think they are the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black1 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I don't know if the frame's the same. Rather doubt it. We're looking at replacing our pathfinder too. No rust issues whatsoever (been in TX it's whole life, I bought it new), but the reliability as a daily driver is starting to come into question. So far nothing looks good.

Gotrek Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 (edited) I'll buy your frame Kidding. What will likely happens is I'll fix the bodies rust and then my GF will drive it till it dies. I'll kep strengthening the frame till I can't anymore She'll buy soemthing else and then I can take the body off and find a replacement frame (when she no longer needs it.) I love mine. But At some point I have to give up. Edited March 26, 2007 by Gotrek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gotrek Posted March 26, 2007 Author Share Posted March 26, 2007 Am I correct the xterra has rear leaf springs instead of a 5 link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nige Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 yup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffW Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 I don't know if it will fit. However, ther are people in Colorado who have rolled their Xterras who may be looking to get rid of the frame. If a used Xterra turns out to be too expensive, a buddy just bought a mint-condition 88 Pathy for $2700. This fricken thing is so mint it makes my '03 X look like a piece o crap....

94extreme Posted March 31, 2007 Share Posted March 31, 2007 no the X frame is a little longer and just a tad different.. look at the early years as those may be your best shot.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
