More pictures to come...

The first thing I fixed was the blown shocks. I replaced it with Gabriels from Autozone. Next was the crappy Kenwood CD player. I replaced it with an Aiwa flip screen. Then my Aiwa deck crapped on me and I got me an old Alpine which hasn't given me any problems besides the blue light blinks every now and then.
Next, I replaced the blown factory Clarion 5x7s with some Pioneer 5x7s. The Pioneers weren't an exact fit but I managed to make them fit one way or another. The tweeters are still good so I kept them. I kept the factory Clarion amps intact since they weren't giving me any problems. Only problem is that It doesn't take much to turn up the volume for it to be blairing loud. I'll get around to bypassing the amps later on when I have more time. Later on, I installed 2 JL 10s that my friend gave me and a 500 watt Jensen amp I got from the pawn shop.

Next thing I fixed was the passenger side exhaust leak. That thing took me something like 3 hours to do. It was a PITA to do too. So I left the driver side to do another time. The rear hatch and window struts were shot and I got some used ones from someone who was parting out his pathfinder online. I bought a headlight harness so the headlights would get full power since it would now feed directly from the battery. I installed a K&N drop-in panel filter which helped out with throttle response. Replaced the plugs with Bosch Platinum 4+. I romoved all the tint except for the front driver and passenger side. Apparently, the original owner had put two layers of tint on. It did well in keeping the light out and keeping the inside cooler but it looked like crap and it was damn hard to see out of. I plan on putting new tint in sometime later. I replaced my old battery which spitted acid onto my hood and ate up the paint and what not with a Optima red top. I just recently fixed my center ceiling trim. I replaced the old one which was falling apart with some I found in the junkyard.

I also picked up from the junkyard the passenger side AC trim and some various nuts and bolts. The AC trims are damn brittle so I superglued them directly to the vent assembly. You cannot buy the trim separate. It's part of the vent asembly will cost around $38 dollars.
I also picked up an instrument cluster so I can replace my faulty tach which I will do when time permits.
I also picked up two tow hooks. One of the tow hook was from an 87 and the other from a 92. I used the one from teh 87 since it wasn't rusty or bent like the 92. Only difference really was that the 87 didn't have a tab to where it holds the a line or chain in the hook/ "J" portion.

The most important thing I will have to address soon is the window tint and my AC since summer is coming around. I'll need to get the AC system evac'd and recharged since it's not as cold as it used to be before the body lift incident.

The passenger window molding(the thing the window slides on/in) is shrinking/cracking in this picture. Water gets inside when I wash the Pathy.

I brought Shelly into the Nissan dealership and they found out that there was a broken extractor in the broken stud and could not get to it without moving the head off the block!!!!! F*cking sucks! I just told them to go ahead and replace the other studs and not mess with the broken stud.

Here is a design for the front skid plate courtesy of JP.

Here is my cone filter along with my MAF adapter for a 87-94 Nissan Maxima. On the paper is an outline of the Pathfinder's MAF. This adapter won't work with our MAF.

You will need the adapter style #2 which is made for our type of MAF. From the information I've found, the #2 is made of ABS plastic and comes with a gasket.

Installed the old used cone filter from a friend's Civic and used the MAF adapter I had prior and fitted it to work with lots of ghetto fabbing!

I mocked up a heat shield for the cone intake. I will probably be switching to a 4" intake and fabbed adapter to fully utilize the designer's purpose instead of the 3". Downgrading to a 3" from a 4" doesn't seem right at all.

After I installed the body lift, the intake tube that connects to the airbox and throttle stretched and had an odd bend to it. What I did to remedy this was unbolt the air box and removed it off its mounts and onto the fender well. It's tilted naturally because of the angle.

Shatterred my headlights and corner light during Spring Break. I bought some replacements on EBAY. The quality wasn't so great compared to OEM. The headlight isn't tightly sealed so condensation formed inside the headlight. The corner light is decent. The mounting holes are slightly different because the head of the screw sticks out. The trim for it is slightly lighter in color compared to the old one. Not really noticeable.

Here's a picture of where I mounted the antenna:

I started to develop rust under the roof rack rails to where it ate a hole through the sheetmetal. I never done body work before so thought I would give it a try. This was a hack job since I really didn't care how it turned out. No taping off, a lot of overspray, not primered, out in the sun, wind, just plain tacky! But one thing... NO MORE RUST! At least I know what to look out for next time I tack another body work job :)
