I was wondering if such tall skinny tire can fit on a stock 2004-2003 pathy.... Maybe with minor trimming? I think this is the skkinnest you can buy that is around 32" tall right? BTW - the pathy comes stock with 16 right?

I'm back... After your honest advise I tried to find a 4runner. I was ready to buy this 2001 with 77k miles on it but when the mechanic put it on the lift it had such bad rust (I'm in the North-East) that he said, and I quote, "Don't even think about it".... wow. This is the third 4 runner, and the one with the least miles, I have seen and they all had rust issues which caused me to give them up. I then decided to raise my budget and look at newer models but a 2005-6 4runner can run me close to 13k around here.... quite hefty. So I am now again thinking about getting a pathfinder. Specifically the 2004 model. As my original post mentioned: I have two things in mind - ground clearance and cargo space. 2004 pathfinder has a quite more cargo space than the 4runner (seems odd no?) per edmunds: 85 vs 75 CU Then the only thing I need to find out is the ground clearance. A stock pathy might be good enough... I will know once I take it to my land and see if my belly scratches the ground like my funny 2003 outlander does. In case it does, and I need to lift, I wanted to ask - in case some new things came out that my search won't pick up on... What lift can I do that will maintain the best / most comfortable ride while allow me to put much bigger tires? PS. Sorry for my lack of knowledge but - what does it mean that the pathy has a lot less aftermarket support? what does ti mean and why is that not good?

Thank you for your honest advice. I guess I should just wait until a reasonably priced 4runner comes along

I have... Cargo space is much smaller per Edmunds.

Hey all, I have been shopping for an off road truck For my weekend cabin. I currently have a 2003 outlander - not an off road truck. I have 1500 ft of path through the forest with deep mud and rocks.. It's killing my car. And with the cost of making a road at around 10k - I rather just get a real off road truck. The two main reasons for my upgrade - ground clearance and more cargo space. At first I wanted a 4runner but hard to find one that has a good price on it. The 2003-2004 pathfinder has the cargo I want but it sits at 8.3" while the runner is 9.8".. But if I can raise the clearance with bigger tires or lift + tires then I am good. Questions - 1. Is it possible to lift the car and not hurt drive comfort? I read about how some lifts make it feel 'truck like'... 2. What is the tallest tires (don't need wide really - rather have fuel economy) I can run on stock? 3. Is the 4" krypton lift make the drive 'feel' much worse? 4. What will be my best strategy?
