Why didn't my 2012 Pathy come with a front bumper like this?

This front bumper looks stock Nissan. Is it available for purchase in North America?

this was the stock bumper from 05-07.
the facelift came in on the 08 models till 2012.

they also changed the tailgate and the rear bumper to have smoother more rounded edges.

Stock in North America 05-07? Never seen one like this in person.
I wonder if this bumper would bolt on a 2012 Pathfinder?

I think you're talking about the giant brush guard on the front rather than the bumper (or plastic "bumper cover") itself.

It looks like a push bumper with an integrated bull bar.
It looks like they had that available in Australia and probably the rest of the world.

I saw that bumper/brush guard on another forum and asked about it. They said it was all one piece. But somehow I'd like to think that it just bolts on somehow and can be ordered through Nissan.

No if it is just one piece, it will not fit a 2012 pathy. Although it might be close, but there was apparently a front end change from the earlier R51 models.

Was it ever available in US? I've never seen one.

Depends on how deep your pockets are and what you want. Most units are custom made to include the the options you want.

Might need to wait a while for these units apparently:

There's another but I can;t think of the name offhand.

Nice brush bar

They call this a sports bar here in Australia. It's a bolt on option.

I have the same one.

Why didn't my 2012 Pathy come with a front bumper like this?
