    Opinions on 1st Gen. Xterra (WD22) vs. 2nd Gen. Pathfinder (R50)

    Summary of my situation: We currently own a 2004 (R50) Pathfinder SE 4wd and a 2005 (E46) BMW 330xi 6spd. and I'm entertaining ideas of replacing the BMW (for all intents and purposes my car) with another vehicle worth approx. the same value. KBB says the BMW is worth between $3500-$4000 in...

    2004 R50 Pathfinder

    Ran into a clearance issue installing Mile Marker 435 hubs with '04 SE wheels. You can see in this picture that the 100mm opening has a small concentric lip (5-6mm?) running along the inside of the opening. This lip is what the small plastic center caps clip onto, and it shrinks the opening...

    R50 Nissan Pathfinder vs. Gen3 Mitsubishi Montero vs. Gen3 Toyota 4Runner

    I'm toying with the idea to sell my BMW 540i and purchase a DD 4x4 that would cost around $5,000. My wife owns a 2004 Pathfinder, and my brother owns a Gen3 4Runner, so I've had some experience and driving time with those two, but no experience with a Montero. I'm looking for the pros/cons of...
