I've owned my 2012 silver edition for 3 years now and after creeping around on the forums for the last few months to get some ideas I went ahead and make her look like she's supposed to. Here's my upgrade list

285/70/17 Duratracs
Fuel Hostage wheels
Rancho Quicklift/rears/spacer

I got about a 3" lift between the quicklift and the bigger tires

Aries Bullbar
22" LED light bar
Plasti-dipped grill

Turned out great and now I'm looking for what else I can do to it!!!!!

Looks awesome! It's amazing what a little lift and beefy tires do for the pathfinder. The OEM tires are to small IMO.

Are the Duratrac's an LT tire? How do you like the ride quality with the lift?

Looks GREAT!
I'll have to consider getting a light bar like that for my bull bar.

How did you mount it?

Yeah ther Duratracs are an LT. The Pathfinder fees a little "floaty" with the lift. I haven't changed the settings on the struts yet so that may make a difference and I also have an Airlift 1000 that I haven't gotten around to putting on yet and I'm sure that'll help too. gas mileage has been a killer. I dropped about 3mpg but totally worth it!

I used the two factory drilled holes that we already in the bull bar. Make sure you get a light bar with mounthing brackets that are adjustable...fairly straight up installation.

Killer!

Yes - replace side steps!
I'm planning on replacing my side steps with some custom ones, but there are a few steel ones out there you can buy that look great!

A K&N intake system is also a good investment and will add back some MPG and power!

Otherwise just install the airlift and enjoy the ride!! :twisted:
