Srikumar Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 I honestly don't see a reason to modify the vehicle. It's a powerful beast on its own. Have you started taking it offroad? Or noticed any issues? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaurav Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Get the spare tire sorted first. I agree with Sri, and wait to hear if you have taken her offroad and whats your main objective modification: Power, Safety, Cosmetics or Moreeb hill climb 3 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Gaurav Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Maybe when you are little free, start explaining in more detail so we can advise. More importantly, I like to know that how long you had her and based on how many drives you concluded or thinking to have certain modifications? Primary reason for this is because you switch offroad car and also come back after long break, so you can't fully compare your previous car comfort, safety or power with another as all cars are different. If you have done 10+ offroad drive and face certain specific issues like bouncy suspension, failure to climb in first gear or hit the bumper on every descend etc. are more sensible reason to consider an appropriate mod. 2 2 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Frederic Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Congrats with the ride buddy. Come and join us for a number of drives and then start setting up your plan. First stick with the basics of getting the car FULL inspected: battery, all fluids, compression, cooling system, etc.... You might need to shell out a few thousands to get that part in 100% condition. 3 "Go as far as you can see; once you get there, you'll be able to see further."

Javier M Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Headers Lift kit I think OME sells 1.75" springs for pathfinders better recovery points bash plate cold air intake I would remove the side steps - they reduce the ground clearance 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
