I have a 2001 se automatic, 140k miles. Just recently started upgrading for my random weekend adventures with the wife. I Baught the pathfinder in 2012 with 110000k miles on it. Since buying it I've replaced both balljoints with moog replacements, done all obvious maintenance such as all oils drained and flushed etc. I've replaced all the coil packs, wich made a huge difference, replaced the MAF sensor as mine went bad. Took off the resonator, made a diy cold air intake, replaced tensioner pulley, Also plati dipped the stock se wheels, emblems and grill. other than that its pretty much stockI love everything about it. Its such a capable suv!
I currently have a pretty big list of things I plan on doing to it in the near future. I won't be able to do it all at once, as I just can't afford it, and I do all my own work.
But here's a bit of what I plan on doing.
Manual locking hubs, haven't decided on warn or mile markers
Skid plates, probably from 4x4parts.. but possibley a diy job
AC 2" coil lift.
Struts and shocks, haven't decided on brand yet.
Wheele spacers, as I want to keep the 16" se wheels
Roof rack, not sure what brand. Haven't done much research yet.
Possibly an off-road bumper but not a big necessity.
I mainly want to start with the lift and work from there.
My overall goal for it is to have a safe reliable highway truck but also be able to hit the tougher parts of the trails. An exploration rig basically. I'd like to fit something close to 32 inch tires on it.
