need some help from my TT brethren

[goathead]

i have recently noticed some extensive rust on my 97 pathy se running boards. i have searched and searched, with no results. im trying to find factory replacement for them. just dont like the way aftermarket looks. so if you can help me that would be great. i knew i could count on ya'll.

ok, so nobody is responding to the above request. thats no problem. but how about this:

on the same 97 pathy i was going to check the rear diff fluid level and the damn fill plug is STUCK really bad. would anyone suggest or prohibit the use of an air tool on this to loosen it? not sure how else to remove it. btw, thought it was interesting that the ratchet size on it is 1/2" versus 3/8" for the TITAN. hmmm....

air too should be fine, try spraying some penitrating oil on the plug and let it sit for 24 hours then repeat, should come off without too much effort.

for your stuck plug: penetrating oil & a breaker bar w/ imact socket will get it off no problems.

for your running boards: nissanparts247.com

for 1/2" drain plug on a Fronty vs. 3/8" on a Titan: a drain plug is not bearing any load, so the size difference doesn't really matter.
