I live in Colorado Springs and I bought my 2002 Pathfinder LE in Denver back in July. It had 80k miles and is really pretty clean. I'm really happy with it. I got it mainly for the 4WD for winter, and I lucked out and got the LE with heated seats and all too haha. I've always loved the body style of this generation since I saw one in Kuwait back in 05 and I've wanted one since then.

I'm more of a speed junkie, hence the name, and I have a 94 Mazda RX-7 to feed that need. I bought it back in Sept 04 and I've been modding it since then, I have about $20-25k into it so far...it's my first love lol. I didn't think I'd want to do anything to the Pathfinder, but I wouldn't mind doing a couple things...I guess the mod bug is hitting me on this one too haha. I really love the way it looks stock though too. I do plan on installing a tow hitch, even though I'm not looking forward to doing the wiring (I do all my own work though, I love working on my vehicles). I got the wiring harness for it so that shouldn't be too hard. I'm also looking at maybe installing an OEM grille guard, and looking for some good floor liners/mats to catch all the snow this winter, and I'd love to have some OEM rubber floor liners too but I can't find any, if someone knows of some for sale, please let me know. I've been looking at wheels and tires and possible a small lift, but I don't HAVE to have that stuff, I like the exterior just as it is.

I'm deployed right now, but I'll be back in time for continued snow, and I want to keep it as clean as possible inside. So far I've been pretty anal about keeping it clean, which has been unusual for me with anything but the RX-7 haha.

I joined over on TheNissanPath a couple months ago, but it seems kinda dead over there.

Here is the only pic I have of it for right now...

Oh yeah, so to reiterate, I'm really looking for some OEM Pathfinder rubber floor mats and the OEM grille guard for the front. PLEASE let me know if someone has some for sale. Thanks!

No way, that's cool! Got any pics of your car? Maybe I'll recognize it. Here are a couple pics of my FD, you may have seen it around. And thanks for the welcome!

With my roommate's FD, mine is on the right. He's parting his out already though. Our other roommate has an FD too. Three in one house haha.

Thanks! Yeah I like Nissan cars too, mainly S13, S14, S15, 240Z (any old Z really), any year Skylines and R35s of course haha. A buddy I work with has an S14 and he wants to start working on it but he doesn't really know much about it, so I'm going to help him work on his too. So yeah, I figure I'll peruse the site and see what I get myself into haha. Plus like I said, I'm getting bitten by the mod bug on the Pathfinder too and I want to start heading in more of an off-road direction. But an adrenaline rush from speed is really what turns my crank lol.

I have less than a month here, and I'm not in too dangerous of an area so I SHOULD be alright haha. Thanks!

^LOL.

I see this a lot on one of my other forums, but most of the time it's obvious when they have links to purses and watches or whatever in their sig lol.
