Thanks for sharing, Its a shame that roof baskets this side of the pond cost around £400 ($645) with no where near as much choice as you guys have :( I'm looking at making/modifying one (off my old Jeep) to suit the Pathy, keep the pictures coming, would be interested to see the fairing fitted. :) ...

It looks good, but make sure you watch it close. I picked up an inexpensive roof rack a few years back for my old Grand Cherokee, and after a few months I climbed on top to wash the car and noticed that the basket was actually leaking rust onto the top of my Jeep from the connection points. I quick...

Rage - Roof Basket & Light Bar Install

Rage - Roof Basket Install: Part 1 I had plans to have a custom roof basket made that I could stand on, but haven’t had the opportunity to do that yet, so I decided to go with a less expensive version online. For now I just need something that goes on & off easy , can carry some camping gear. I...

That cargo cover is a nice simple design. I may make one using waterproof canvas for my 08. I think I can make it double as a mat. I have been wanting to use an old sewing machine I bought last year.

Thanks for the picture & request. Nice Pathy :)

I also did my 08 this week. I'm sure they were the originals, as the rear hatch would bairly stay up. I did both the hatch and rear window support. I ordered the default replacements from http://autopartsbylou.com/index.php

Both sets installed in less than 10mins and work great... easy breezy

All is done. Got the car.. Very very happy. Drove it upstate toy land- flawlessly. I want to make sure - am I safe to run it until 8yr/80k for the whole radiator transmission without any fear? I don't want to do the bypass if I don't need to and then have Nissan void the warranty if I do. Keep this...

Yea, well worth the effort. I thought about adding an aftermarket trans cooler, but was limited on time today. I'll watch the trans temp for now, I can always add that later if needed.. connecting to the bypass. Now I need to find a lube shop "I trust" to do a proper flush and fill. Althou...

I took the front mudflats off, but thinking of putting them back on and doing some trimming and heat gun bending. The mud that gets kicked up gets caked ...

. i thought my average mpg was bad Well I'm driving an 85 mile roundtrip 4 time a week, on the flat Texas interstate. At 70mph with AC, I'm turning 1800RPM, and if I use cruise-control, I get about 17.5MPG. But the city driving still kills me, even if I drive like a sane person. Still it is better g...
