Squeaking interior door covers

Is there a diagram somewhere on how to remove the interior door covers? Mine have started to squeak, particularly the passenger side when someone is riding, and I can't track down exactly from where the noise is coming so I'm wanting to tighten them up. I would prefer not going into the project blin...

First of all, the OEM size is a 265/65-17. I know what the factory size of the tires are for my vehicle. I mentioned the 265/70-17 in my above post as it will be closer in equivalence to 245/75-17's as far as overall diameter and include the additional tire width which some seem to think is necessa...

The difference between the two tires is minimal. Comparing both sizes of Destination A/T's, factory and upsized, the upsized tire is 4 lbs heavier, .6" more narrow and .9" taller increasing size to 31.5". The slightly more narrow tread section width with reduce the sidewall bulge on t...

Yeah. It's a family hauler and my DD. The Pathfinder has already less-than-stellar fuel mileage, rarely even hitting 20 MPG on the highway. I don't need to make it worse.
My truck makes up for it @ ~12.5 MPG.

[/quote]Firestone Destination AT is a good all around tire though.[/quote]

Those are what I'll be switching to in a 245/75-17. Those came stock on my wife's Trailhawk (type not size, the TH runs a 245/65-17) and so far, have been a very decent tire.

Sounds like a great positive story. What kind of tires do you have on that thing? All my friends have Rubi's, those are some mean suckers, but you already knew that. Me and this fellow Rubi guy were leading the pack that day. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y124/nmexmax/9898d73e-216b-4bae-9238-a85...

First time snow and ice, very impressed

Just a general observation - being a die-hard Jeep guy, this time around I opted to buy the 2012 Silver, instead, due to the usable 3rd row so I can haul around the family when needed. It's my DD and our family hauler. I was unimpressed with the rear end characteristics which necessitated the instal...

I finally got around to installing the airbags on my R51 this weekend. It really controls the sway and bounce and I decided 15 psi feels pretty good to me. It really firms up the rear end. If you're on the fence or, like me, ordered the parts and left them on the shelf for a month before getting aro...

It won't hurt anything putting IPA in you gas. It just helps with moisture, if you are having that problem. Funny story from a stupid move on my part. I had an '86 Cherokee Chief in which I beat the crud out of. I got it stuck in a pond when mudding and it had to sit for two days before I could reco...

Thank you for your responses but possibly my post was not clear. I am aware of what VDC does but my query was to long pressing the VDC button. It turns off the light and disables the VDC control button completely until the engine is restarted, something not addressed anywhere. I was just curious if ...

VDC

Our Cherokee Trailhawk traction control operates in two ways: press the button once and the traction control turns off partially and press and hold for 10 seconds and it completely disables traction control (supposedly). I was wondering if the VDC in the Pathfinder operates the same way. I pressed t...

My 2012 Silver had recently started going downhill rapidly with the driveability of the vehicle. From the day I bought it with 20k miles on the clock, it always felt weak in the rear with excessive sway but I started having serious problems with bottoming out and if I hit any divot in the road at hi...

I, too, am due for some new tires over the stock ones that came with my 2012 Pathfinder and have done a lot of research. I haven't pulled the trigger, yet, as I'm trying to get the most life I can out of the adequate but slightly lacking stockers. After all the reviews, I was pretty sure I was going...
