Parts that are interchangeable...

I've searched around this forum and a couple of others but I haven't been able to find anywhere that says what parts are interchangeable on the 1st gen frontiers. What I mean is, are there any parts from the xterra, pathfinder, or any other Nissan vehicle that will fit on the frontier?

They're the same Gen so probably. I'd Google 97 and 99 Pathfinder Interior and look. OR go to AutoTrader.Com and Select 97-99 Pathfinder and just look.

I have a 2009 Frontier that needs a new chromed steel front bumper and bumper reinforcement bar. A local junkyard has a 2005 that has the complete bumper assembly, back to the bumper reinforcement. The interchange databases say it it won't fit, but as far as I can tell, the bumper mounts to the bumper reinforcement, so if I get the whole thing, it seems like it would work. Can anyone confirm suspicion, or tell me why it doesn't show up as interchangeable?

You're in the 1st Gen Hangout. You need the 2nd gen whatever they call it over there. The 2 trucks aren't even remotely the same. Everything but the name is different. In other words, the only thing the 1 Gen 1998-2004 has in common with your 2nd Gen 2005 to 2021 is simply the name. THEY ARE NOTHING ALIKE

Good morning,can someone help me.I need to know what years of compatibility is the differential of a 2006 Pathfinder.
Mine is making noise and my mechanic check it and the fluid is fine no filings,that good. But it may need to be rebuild in the future . There are five pathfinders at the wreckers and a 2011 the newest one that I would like to grab the diff. If it is interchangeable. Thanks guys.

both will fit, but brakes are year specific

the 4x4 spindles from 98-2000 have slightly smaller brakes, however allow for biggest brake option if you upgrade to 300zx calipers as the caliper sits slightly further from the wheel center

2000-2004 spindle has bigger brakes but does not allow you to upgrade rotor size if you do 300zx calipers
