Simon Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 HB front seats will fit. That's about all that's a direct bolt in. Anything else will require varying degrees of fabrication....but anything COULD fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Yeah, most things from the B pillar forward are interchangeable with a Hardbody body and interior wise. The tail lights are about 2"-3" taller then a Pathfinder tail light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Nope. What for? They look terrible. It's an obvious imitation of a more expensive car, which is posing...at least to me. Clear tails I'd like, though. All the front end sheetmetal should swap OK. Door panels too. Some dash parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear tails I'd like, though. All the front end sheetmetal should swap OK. Door panels too. Some dash parts. I absolutely agree with the Euro lights and the image the throw, but i was using it as a general style of aftermarket tails, so is it un hurd of? also are there any other things that i can take from other makes and models that will bolt right in? thanks, -scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Taillights from 87-95 Pathfinders are all the same. Nothing else fits. You could try doing them up all Oz-style and painting the turn signal section transparent red... Aside from that, the front ends are mostly the same between trucks and Pathys. Suspension, exterior body (HB's have sealed beam headlights, different grille and turn signals, though) interior trim and panels (where applicable, obviously) and electrical stuff, for the most part. The rear ends are different, from the bumpers to the axles to the gas tanks to the fenderwells, so nothing off the back of a HB will fit a Pathy unless it's a small item or trim piece.

unccpathfinder Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 All the front end sheetmetal should swap OK. Door panels too. Some dash parts. dont the HB fenders flare out more? the interior will swap from a pathy to a HB with some work on my many ventures to the u pull it yard in charlotte I met the same guy about 5 different occasions and got to know him pretty well where he was stripping pathy parts and building up his HB he had put the pathy grill and headlights in his along with the bumper and did the dash, door panels, A pillars and I think thats about it the real answer is anything will fit with enough time and effort but a lot of times its not worth it Clear tails I'd like, though If im not mistaken you an pull the lens from the taillight and apply brake fluid (or any other paint remover) and it will lift the yellow and red out of the plastic leaving a clear lens...I accidentally had a bottle of fluid spill over on wheelman's smoked taillights and I know when I tried to get the fluid off inside and out I got a bunch of red dye from the inside but I don't remember if it went completely clear or not...I'm thinking it did but maybe not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted September 15, 2007 Share Posted September 15, 2007 I've got to do some editing and get the Ford coil idea out of people's heads...they're too short and can fall out of the sockets when offroading. They do give you a little lift, but only because they're WAY stiffer than stock coils. JGC coils work much much better and are way safer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWT87PATHY Posted September 16, 2007 Author Share Posted September 16, 2007 I have a broken taillight spare that I'm gonna dunk into brake fluid as soon as I get home! did it work?, whats to do after you have a clear lens? color'd bulbs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I'd go with LED bulbs. Hold on, I'll check it out tonight and get back on it. I dunno how hard it'll be to separate the lenses from the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 separate the lenses from the body very carefully...theres a little strip on the inside edge that goes between the light assembly and truck body that likes to tear loose so be careful of that...I gotta go dig around and see if I still have those lights and see if I recalled correctly...
