Looks dope man. One question, how did you change the gauge cluster lights? In other words how did you get behind it to the lights

Very nice car. As I was following the timeline, I like your lowered look, but saw the 20s, and didn't like it. Then once I saw the 20s were black, looked much better.

My FAV part about your car is your roof rack. Mine has stupid cross bars, whereas yours as the beautiful bar that goes front to back and says pathfinder on it. I wish I had that rack.

That roof rack is specific to 2002 - 2004 Pathfinders. As far as I know, it'll just slide into your 2000's roof rack rails, if you can manage to find one. :)

I also took off the black plastic that has nissan indented on it that runs across the front of the roof rack.

The roof rack i have came standard on the 2001 Le, stock with 2002-2004 se. The le's got those ugly running boards i prefer mine tenfold. Same with the roofrack on the LE,s without the car length running rails like i have.

The running boards are not ugly..I like them because they were matte black with charcoal gray borders. Anyway I removed them last week to lose some weight :)

For some reason, I never noticed that! Looks good! Is it reversible? I wanna see how it looks on my car.

I agree with the timeline thing. I guess I beat you guys to the punch though! :chuckle:

Here's mine -really wish I had taken more pictures, but oh well.


This is actually the add from where I bought it, it had a hood and window visors
Image


I promptly ripped those off
Image


Bought Clear Corners
Image


Night of the accident
Image


Next day
Image


Since my bumper was lodged into my tire I had it towed away
Image


I got it back two shades of green.... :bs: (it was later corrected)
Image


This is just kinda funny (me rotating my tires on the street)
Image


When it snowed and I just got back
Image


I kinda forgot about this. Yes its real
Image


This was the deck it came with - looks very out of place
Image


My new one
Image


I spent 7 hours that day polishing, claying, waxing...
Image

Image


Camping
Image

(My friends Camry)
Image

This was for my leather dyeing (really its more like flexible paint) project
Image

And this is the brush guard that Westin sent me which was actually different than the picture... It has since been returned.
Image

And the old stand by.

Clarion VX400 Headunit? I have the same one lol. Fits perfect, clean and flush as it was factory.

Edit: And SB yea you can put it back on if you want. I took it off for aerodynamics and visual purposes, that extra 5-6 inches at 70mph wind has to go over probably makes a small difference.

Yup, VX400.

Thats the thing I like about it too, I actually have to point it out to people, that it's aftermarket, because it blends in so well.

Also Clarion did our tweeters, so its basically OEM :rotfl

@ SB: You pop the 2 front covers off on the sides, then im pretty sure its just 2 bolts on each side, pop covers back on, done.

@ GRN: For underbody refer to my thread: painted-underbody-t452233.html

I had those ebcs since 06 i think, not sure anymore, but i still have them on now, they lasted ridiculously long, and i drive it hard. The pads are ceramic but i forgot what brand, rotors EBC sport slotted and dimpled 3GD. Probably going to need to replace pads summertime maybe, and i probably will replace the rotors since they have some hardend spots on them ( you can look up rotor hard spots to see pics, its like discolored spots on the rotor ). I researched this and this is due to my error of when im working on the car, get finger prints or oil from dirty fingers etc on them and dont wipe them down with alcohol after will cause this.

Just wanted to say thanks bro after looking at your timelime I noticed you added an item I had never heard of on here called the Missing Link after seeing it on your post I checked it out and ordered one. With my re-built suspension this item made the Pathy feel like new driving it so great job!!

I second this. Did not even know about this part. All I would be missing for suspension would be the front sway bar and replace all bushings, plus my mechanic will check wth I did wrong when I installed my lowering springs

I wonder if that type of roof rack would fit right onto my 97 Pathfinder? I have a roof rack that I don't care for, and I think the roof rack with "Pathfinder" written on it would look so much better.
