Well, as you all know, today was the day to install the push bar/light bar/nudge bar on the MO. At the same time I also ordered the all weather floor mats and the rear bumper protector. I ordered all of the items from here.
Everything went well and here's the pics to prove it!
Floor mats:
Bumper guard:
Open
Closed
And here is the push bar install:
Here is all that came in the box
First you have to remove the front 'mudflap' and then insert one of the black metal pieces through this hole
Inside the hole there are predrilled holes that you bolt it to
I suggest turning your wheel out to gain access to these holes. The driver side is very easy and the passenger side was more of a PITA because of the windshield washer reserve.
According to the instructions, it is easiest to bolt the passenger side in if you attack it from an angle parallel to the bumper.
After thats done, screw in your mudflaps and then bolt on the guard.
It was getting kind of dark so I could only snap a pic before I called it a day
Overall, the install was pretty easy and I'm not mechanically inclined. I'd say that everything took about 1 hour to do total. The bar itself is very very lightweight, but it seemed fairly strong. I sat on it and it held me, while it was on the MO, with no problems. As for a 1.5 ton car....well...I hope I never find out.:2:
How does the rear bumper gaurd install? Is it just glued on? I have a dog that rides in the back and I'd like to keep him from scratching up the rear bumper when he loads.
im getting there... first i want to see how much it would be to have the chrome grille painted body color and then im gonna see how much chroming the bar costs.
when i was buying my MO, i asked my dealer about the push bar. he told me that there were 2 of them. an aluminum one, and a stainless steel one. i've seen the stainless steel one with the side rails and it was nice. so i innocently asked the price....$700. so i walked out of the dealer thinking i'll just buy an aftermarket one. the only problem is...i can't find it anywhere. a part of me is wondering,if i should just pony up and get it...then the other side of me is saying....$700 for a piece of bent steel?
Thanks for the comments. I really like it too. It makes it stand apart from the crowd.

Do you have any pics of your 8500K lights? Can you post them?
Here are some of the pictures of my 8500K HID Lights.. They are so bright and blue, they make 4300k look like regular halogen lights. I compare them to a friend of mine that has an Audi TT 2000 with HID and someone in the crowd make a remark: Is the TT equiped with HID? The only drawback, I can't find fog lights that will match the color of the 8500k bulds..
what bulb do you use for your parking light? Yours look much brighter than my APC cheapees.
Also, you may want to check with Esemes...he sold me his 7500K and although they are not anywhere near my 10000K headlights, they are a nice white-ish blue.
While at the dealer today there were two guy installing LEX SHIELD, that invisible thin clear flexible sheeting on the front part of the hood of a new Murano. So I got their phone number and they are going to get me a price to do just the top of the rear bumper behind the hatch. Should be an interesting price. let you know. It's only about 4inches by the width of the bumper. It woun't be a protecting as the stick on black plastic part but will be hard to impossible to see and I think provide some usefull protection
Hello, we just had the roof racks installed onto the rails of our 2019 Murano. Driving home from the dealership I noticed how noisy these are inside the car. They're so noisy that I'm considering taking the crossbars off until I absolutely need them. Anyone else experiencing this noise and how...
Hi i have a 2011 nissan murrano and i am looking to replace the wipers. I have replaced the original inserts from the dealer one but only lasted a few months (7). If i go with Silblades or rainX will i have to change the whole assembly or just the inderts?
Looking for suggestions on good all...
Hi. I have a factory installed roof rack that I'm interested in buying after market crossbars for. I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars (Thule). I'm going to be carrying kayaks (2 at a time). I own a 2012 Murano LE.
Any suggestions? I live in Canada.
Thanks.

I have a 2015 Murano S that has no roof rails installed. I bought it used and just figured it would be a piece of cake to add a rack to it but looking around here I see conflicting info as to whether this is possible.
Can anyone confirm if I can buy rails and add them to add a third party or...
