[Rinat]

As far as I know, if you want Nissan ones, only the stock pathfinder ones will work.

 

I have aftermarket Thule ones... you can buy the footings especially for your truck, and then the actual cross bars are universal.

Nothing close up...

You can see the feet and the bars in this picture.

 

 

And this one kinda has a close up of the feet, and you can see the end of the bar (dont mind the idiot IN the basket!)

 

 

 

Mine is all from Thule... it's not cheap. I was able to get the majority of it used.

Foot mounts: (they slide into the factory rails, you need them for the feet)

Yakima also makes a system, which I assume is similar.

Yakima does make them too and they aren't cheap either:

 

2 Yakima Control Towers and 2 Landing Pads (style/version 1) for the control towers are about $200 retail plus the bars. My factory crossbar snapped under the weight of my cargo basket while driving around looking for a camp spot in the mountains.

 

I looked on Ebay and you can pickup the above - the bars used for around $65. My guess is you could scower craigslist over the next couple months to either get a thule or yakima setup. In my location Yakima is a lot easier to come by used as they are more popular.

 

Basically the landing pads screw into the existing lock washers where your factory crossbars screwed into. The landing pads then secure the control towers to the roof and of course then your bars are attached.

I forgot to add if you don't have the factory tracks, you'll have to buy those too. Gets expensive quick depending on what you want to use it for.
