Nuts, I would resize them if I could figure it out, but look at the detail! Next to no metal in there, I had a bear of a time squeezing in the siren speaker. Next part is finishing wiring and fixing up the attachments.

What kind of measurements do you need? Where do you attach to?

Can you measure the distance of the two outside verticals such as in this image?

Sure. They're only fiberglass on mine though, nothing really substantial. I'll grab it tomorrow.

If you think you have one that fits the pathfinder, I'm interested.

Any update on being able to fab this to fit a 2005 PF?

If you could take a picture of your bumper from these angles and lay a tape measure in the straight on shot that would be of great help.
Having trouble finding Pathfinders here in Phoenix.

A side shot and straight shot.

With a larger resolution if you could.

So far I have confirmed two Pathfinders that it fits.
This is a 2007

Fangars,

What do you have the metal brackets attached to? There are only 3 very weak brackets that the upper part of the bumper attaches to:

I'm thinking of doing the same thing, but a bit differently. I'd use one long piece, probably a thicker chunk of aluminum, with slots cut into it to accomodate the plastic fins of the bumper. Then, another long piece of aluminum that goes on the upper side, over those weak brackets. Basically, just sandwiching the 3 brackets between thick pieces of aluminum.

My only concern is with the lights themselves. I really wanted something larger, but I really prefer the recessed look over any of the external light bar options. Any photos of how those little lights look like at night? That would be super helpful.

Unlike the Xterra versions, the Frontier/Pathfinder only clamps to the bumper material itself. This is not a problem as the lights that can be fit into that location are small and light.

Gotcha. The pictures you posted were messing with my mind. The PF has that actual bumper piece on the bottom of the opening, so I'm assuming you are attaching to that instead of the top (which has no bumper, only cheap brackets).

How much for one of your kits?

I'd still like to see a photo of the light output from the 4 3.5" lights.
