mike1305 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hey gang, Over the last 18 months I've really come to love my WD21 Pathfinder! So many quirks and features. If you were going to do a "Doug DeMuro style" review of your WD21, what quirks and features would you point out? I can think of a few, perhaps specific to my SE-V6 w/ Power Package It has a spoiler... haha You can engage the windshield washer without actually using the wiper blades Rear armrests on the outside, and seatbelt clips to keep the buckles nice and organized those LEGO wheels tho My 1992 doesn't have a check engine light... not that it's broken or depopulated, it just never came with one. period. gotta check those blinky lights on the computer! two tier roofline as a precursor to the 1st gen Xterras Old school switch-activated cruise control Gotta press that little button to get the key out - classic japanese style The triple "nostrils" on the grill "hidden" rear door handles Maybe if I collect enough I'll make a 'tribute video' on YouTube.... haha Cheers from sunny Colorado! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstGenFreak Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Not familiar with Dough De Muro over here, but I'd praise the legendary Z24 engine, the rugged good looks of the 2-door and the general utility of being able to fold the rear seats down (mine always live folded down) as well as the short wheelbase, narrow track and short overhangs.

Slartibartfast Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 If it's Doug Demuro style, you have to whine about it not having Bluetooth. Might also point out the flip-down "cupholders" in the console if yours has them. (If not, you're not missing out.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Reverse Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 How about the reclining back seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overhangs are what I love. After moving to an Xterra for my wheeler. I noticed I can no longer see what is right in front of me. Holy crap did that take some getting used to. The pathy will live out her old age as a summer cruiser around here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 All the weight of a full sized truck. All the gas mileage of a full sized tuck. None of the power of a full sized truck. Knowing you have one of the most reliable vehicles around. Knowing no one knows what it is unless they have owned one. Knowing passengers won't climb into the back unless you tell them where the door handles are. Being part of NPORA. B 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 I had the Z24 in a 1984 D720 Kingcab 4x4 with 31" tires, and while that was a wonderfully reliable motor and set up, I do not miss the 4th gear blues up every significant hill. A VG30 or VG33 shoe horned into it would have been awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a guy try to crawl between the B pillar and the front seat once to get into the back. Took me a second to work out what he was trying to do. He nearly managed it before I told him it was a four-door. OP, you might also mention the mechanical door dinger. Not the crap synthesized modern ones, or the godawful '80s screaming-goat-that-never-ends ones, just two metal plates and a solenoid. I thought that was kinda neat. I mean, I still removed it, because it's annoying, but it's an amusing old-school kind of annoying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teesetz Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Where did you get the bull bar that goes on the stock bumper? Make/model? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xspyrd Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 (edited) Yours specifically, it has an intermediate black trim piece running 3/4s the length of the WD21. It seems like the only one, though it looks perfect. Must be a 92 only thing. Edited July 4 by xspyrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I don't think that strip is factory. Probably an aftermarket add-on to prevent door dings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may mask off something similar and hit it with some liner paint.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 I would be surprised if there isn't some rubber strip material out there that could be cut to size and stuck on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
