• Locking Hitch Pin for Thule Apex TH9024 Bike Rack
• The threaded portion that fits in the shank of the Thule Apex bike rack is typically not compatible with threaded locking pins from other manufacturers. We've received a few reports here and there stating that they will fit, but since Thule won't confirm this we cannot guarantee fit. It's safest to use the lock that was specifically designed for the rack, the # THSTL2. One really nice feature of the Thule lock, it can be re keyed to match the locks on other Thule accessories, if you have...

• How to Permanently Mount Curt 4-Pole Harness Connector C55361 on Hitch on 2001 Nissan Pathfinder
• The 4-pole wiring on Curt T-Connector Harness # C55361 is long enough to reach a hitch-mounted bracket like # 18144. But there is a benefit to keeping the wiring protected inside your Pathfinder except for the times when you actually need it for your trailer. The worst enemy of trailer wiring is corrosion, which can be caused by exposure to moisture, salt and other contaminants. Keeping that 4-pole safe inside the vehicle when not in use can help prolong its working lifespan and spare...

• Aero Roof Rack for 2018 Nissan Pathfinder
• We do have roof racks for your 2018 Pathfinder that will work great on either a bare roof or a roof with front-to-back side rails. I recommend the Rhino-Rack Vortex rack system because it offers excellent performance and very good value. This aerodynamic rack will be quieter than any other type thanks to its wing-like bars that cut through the wind better than other shapes. We have a version for both of the possible roof configurations on your Pathfinder. If your roof has front-to-back...

• Can Convenience Link Tabs Be Added to Blue Ox Baseplates That Don't Have Them?
• The Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Removable Arms # BX1826 for a Nissan Pathfinder do not have the convenience link tabs as you mentioned. They cannot be added to the product but the manufacturer suggests installation in the manner shown in the attached photo. The manufacturer doesn't warranty any baseplates that have been customized in any way so they don't offer the tabs to weld in place.

• Recommended Hitch Bike Rack For My 2017 Nissan Pathfinder
• I have two hitch bike racks I recommend, depending on the bikes you will be carrying on your 2017 Nissan Pathfinder. My first recommendation is the Saris MHS Modular Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches - Tilting, part # SAR73MR. This hitch bike rack has a maximum weight limit of 60 lbs per bike. It is fender friendly, provided your front fender does not extend past the 2 o' clock position of your front wheel. My second recommendation is the The Kuat NV 2.0 Base Bike Rack for 2 Bikes...

• 7-Way Bracket Recommendation for Use with Trailer Wiring 118266 for 2011 Nissan Pathfinder
• The trailer wiring harness part # 118266 that you referenced is a 7-way which bolts to a standard 7-way bracket like the part # 319-S7-61 which you referenced. This would be a good option but it will require drilling through the bracket to your rear bumper. The most popular option I would recommend is the part # PK12711U instead which has hole pre-drilled.

• Towing Mirrors for 2015 Nissan Pathfinder
• We do not have any custom-fit towing mirrors for your 2015 Nissan Pathfinder but on the linked page you can see the universal-fit mirror sets we offer from CIPA and K-Source that will fit nicely on your Pathfinder.

These install without tools as shown in the linked video.

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2013 Nissan Pathfinder

• Wiring Adapter to Allow 2009 Nissan Pathfinder to Pull Pop-Up Camper With 6-Way Round Connector
• If your 2009 Nissan Pathfinder is equipped with the factory tow package 7-way socket, such as # 118267 that you referenced, you can add an adapter to allow you to connect your 6-pole-equipped pop-up camper, or you can choose a more permanent solution which is to re-wire the connector on the trailer to a mating 7-way plug. Long-term you are better off without an adapter as these will inevitably lead to more chance for corrosion and issues down the road. You can use Hopkins 8-foot # H20046...

• Availability of Concealed Trailer Hitch for 2018 Nissan Pathfindeer
• The hitches we offer would all install so that the receiver tube sits directly under the rear bumper, such as the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13309. In order to get a hitch like what you described, you'd need to get the OEM hitch from Toyota, as well as the specific bumper cover with the knockout for the receiver to pass through. If the hitch can be installed aftermarket, it will be very expensive. I certainly understand why you'd want a hitch to install through the bumper fascia, trailer...
