carson Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 I just purchased a 1999.5 Pathfinder LE as my "adventure" truck. For the past few years I have beaten up my everyday truck, a 2011 Ram 1500 and decided to buy the Pathfinder for my hunting, fishing and trips to the cabin, now that the Ram is back to showroom condition. I don't offroad anywhere near as hard as I once did so that is why I bought the Pathfinder. It will be a very nice truck to drive around town with the family but also be perfect for my adventures. I would have loved to have bought another 2005+ Pathfinder (had one a few years back) but couldn't justify the $$ for my weekender. I really loved the 3.5L engine! I know lifting this truck (looking for a 2" lift) is going to be a challenge but I am hopeful to find the help here to do it. If I don't find the info reading through the forum, I'll post a few questions. Cheers, Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted November 14, 2015 Share Posted November 14, 2015 Welcome Ray! Trust me, all the info you need is here... a 2" lift is pretty darn easy, made easier by fleurys products as well. There are other options, so look at them all and decide what is best for you. We have a white on white R50 as well, but a 1990.0 SE (pre facelift) FYI, 2001-2004 has the VQ35, so you can have your R50 and VQ too... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B After reading your post, it got me thinking that I may not have the 1999.5. I have the 3.3L engine. The truck does look like the facelift version though. Did Nissan make the 1999.5 with a facelift and the 3.3L? It was my understandign that the 3.5L was on later production models and not my year. What is my best resource to determine exactly what version I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdj Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) My sisters truck is a 1999.5 with that 3.3 and the "face lift". The "1999" had the same 3.3 but the older front end. Oh, almost forgot ...Welcome! Edited November 15, 2015 by kdj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 ^Exactly! We have a 1999.0 as well, old front and VG33 (which is why I always specify that and often buy parts for a 1998 so there is no mid year confusion). The VG33 was used in 1996-2000 Pathfinders...
