All of them are 96-00, they all have useless body panels, full of rust but the interiors are decent and most have intact engines/parts. One pathfinder has ALMOST new leather seats, grey with manual controls...THOSE are a wicked deal to anyone who needs them!!

2 of the pathys are manual. The QX4 is still pretty much all there, I took the passenger side fender and will be going back for the drivers side in the future. The fender I picked up had no rust, so I just gotta sand, paint, and replace my current one that bondo couldnt save due to the amount of rust.

The recycler is B&D, located on Bronte Rd just south of the QEW.

I found pretty much everything I needed!!!

I wonder if those vehicles are victims of the strut housing corrosion problem.

I went to the u-pull it yard at Standard this morning and found one pathfinder. Unfortunately it was ancient and had all missing pieces. I was looking for a new seat/seat motor, rail w/e its called.

Well all the pathys had intact seats but only the qx4 had power seats, i sniped the switch cover. The seats were all beige tho. If u have the grey leather like mine and decide you dont want the power seats pickup those leather ones theyre mint.

Btw they were all 96-99 including the qx4

By the way, i think you are right towncivilian, i didnt remember to look at that area but all the vehicles had severe rust except the qx4. In our area every single pathy and qx4 has the same rust spots...specificslly the qx4.....drivers side fender where the headlight meets, passenger side right above the wheelwell, tailgate on left side under window, and bottom right of tailgate. Fortunately i have all the rust fixed up, but the new fender will look better than my wavy one from all the bondo

My pathy has Beige/Tan leather seats. Wonder if the QX seat will fit in the pathy? I know it is a different style but maybe I could swap over the bottom portion of the seat

Lucky for me, the Auto recycler place (Ralphs) I go to updates their new inventory on a website.

I was able to check out a 2000 Pathfinder that just came in - no rust or body damage

It was completely untouched, it even had the wheels.

All I needed was a screw cap cover, which I got for a buck. So I was a happy guy.

I asked the guy in the office about the wheels (Thoroughly curbed SE's with maybe half tread left) and he said they were already sold for $400

I've been going to that place for maybe 1.5 years now and I've only seen 2 '01-'04 Pathys. Both with major body damage.

We have bad drivers I guess cause I see pathfinders at lkq here fairly often. I keep an eye out for things I don't have. let me know if you need anything and i will snatch it before it goes. the 1995 looks like the best year. Had all the goodies. Image

I want to find out where you can get the adjustable struts i think and electronic controlled, certain pathfinders came with them.

For example the one above it has them, looking at the picture its the bottom one on the left.

Edit: Looks like it had an electric hatch release? Wtf, this thing has so many things ours dont have...

WD21s had electronic adjustable suspension from the factory. As far as I know, Nissan OEM parts are the only replacements which still retain the electronic adjustable suspension.

If I recall correctly, some year range or specific regional QX4s have rear glass hatch openers.

Well, Pathfinders don't (except maybe the Platinum Edition, I don't know for sure). I doubt the wiring is present to add such features either.

Who needs wiring when you have the magic of RF! For one of my high school computer engineering projects I rigged up a wireless doorbell kit to turn on my Xbox1 wirelessly.....it was genius! I even matched it to the house doorbell frequency so that everytime I turned the thing on the home doorbell would ring...it was hilarious.

Projects like these take so long that it really counts for 1,000,000 times of turning the xbox on or just going to open the hatch yourself lol

As much as I love the 01+ QX4, i still would go through the trouble of changing the whole front clip of my 99 to the 01+ if I found a good deal on parts...just because my Q means a lot to me!

I think they take things away so that they can give it some "new" features mid cycle

Like I don't think the 2005 pf dosent have both auto windows.

I called these guys. I haven't been to a wreckers in ahile, but they quoted me 75 bucks for an old fan switch! Standard Auto wreckers as well - same price. LOL-I can get a new one online for that price. Do these guys know they're at a JUNK YARD? Okay rant over.
