Sometimes I have to change my brand new Air Filter after just one weekend. (when I'm tailgunner and eat dust all days) Keep an eye on if dust makes it past the air filter into the air intake. The yellow FRAM TGA7440 Tough Guard have been good to me. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JZFJ5M/ref...
Today, I did the hatch strut modification. I was tired of that hatch taking its sweet time to open, and being too low when fully open (I hit it with my head sometimes). Our Xterra buddies have a choice of 150lbs or 175lbs (good with a ladder bolted on tailgate) struts from McMaster Carr. I've instal...
I can confirm that the Armada swap in the rear is possible. Yep, I have been reading your content multiple times. Thanks a lot for the time you put in to document your trials. Did you know they now make suspension bushings for the US models? I've got a set of those in box and the heavy duty springs...
I am not clear on one thing. The pics u showed in the beginning of thread. Did u already do the Titan swap up front or are just considering it? I (Well, Greg from PRG) already did the Titan Swap on my Xterra (not on the Pathfinder). I am not considering that kind of Titan swap anymore for the Pathf...
How much of a pain was it to replace all hoses? Did you use aftermarket, OEM or Silicon? Since you said “all hoses”, that means the heater hoses too? and vacuum hoses (if any). Fuel hoses?
What could be done? Instead of relying on longer arms, a longer shock could provide more travel. To enable extended shocks, one could take inspiration from the PRG 5" lift kit for Armada: https://www.prgproducts.com/product-page/armada-5-inch-rear-bracket-lift-kit I really like the way the brac...
Comparing the Armada rear suspension vs the Pathfinder: A very reputed suspension expert in California has suggested that the path to improve the Pathfinder rear suspension is to perform a complete rear subframe swap from an Armada. https://parts.nissanusa.com/a/Nissan_2010_Pathfinder-LE-56L-V8-AT-4...
I've found multiple references that the stock Pathfinder is doing worse than expected off-road: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyslBICupXU and the rambling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3aguetATgY who is not getting a Patrol because of the Pathfinder... Here is the rear suspension of the Pathfi...
What is a Titan Swap? There are multiple versions of it depending on which parts of the Titan Full-Size Pickup you use. The nice about Nissan is that all 5 cousins - the 3 midsize: Frontier, Xterra & Pathfinder - and - the 3 full-size: Titan, Armada & QX56/QX80 - are all based on the same F-...

Yet another Build thread I need a cool name like "the pantyfinder" for that pathfinder... any suggestions? Pathfinder nickname: ??? In Apr 2021, I was finally lucky and found a nice-to-me V8 pathfinder with NO rust: https://www.thenissanpath.com/topic21032.html I also had an Xterra and it ...
Or maybe I could just have my leather red dyed? Or maybe you could do it yourself? I saw that the BMW folks do that often: BMW E90 Black to Red Leather BMW 328i Black to Red leather Standard Die Colors from Leatherique . They can also custom-match OEM colors. One can ask for the BMW Cinnamon for ex...
