Well, I've not had the opportunity to use this vehicle for overlanding yet, but the rear door on our 2007 Nissan Pathfinder is not staying open.
Any ideas on a cheap, quick fix?

I'm not 100% sure about the 07 Pathy, but I am assuming that it uses hydraulic struts like the ones I had on my '92, my '01 and on my '11 Xterra. If that is the case, you can just replace the struts.
Here is a link to a HOW TO for the Xterra. Should be about the same, you just need to order the right struts. You can probably find some aftermarket ones that have a higher load capacity than stock, too...for those extra cold mornings.
Hope that helps a little.

Oo, aftermarket ones? Where do you recommend I find those?
I'd love to do this as a weekend or evening project.

For the Xterra, here's the thread with the right reference numbers to order : http://www.thenewx.org/forum/showpost.php?p=696361&postcount=295 Very easy to change and a nice improvement. I chose the 150 lbs but many take the 175 lbs.

Just go to advanced auto or your local store and get a set of replacement "lift supports". Just put a new pair on my mom's MDX only cost me 40 bucks for the set.

Liftsupportdepot.com has hooked up man ih8mud members on LC hood and liftgate struts, I've got some on my 100 Series that are running strong. Not sure if they offer Nissan struts but their prices smoked all others, worth a check.
