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.

Insepected everything, and replaced few bushes and all are good to go. Was previously well maintained by last owner.

• 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

I dont wanna remove side steps as tbh i suffered a lot when i removed side steps on my pajero.

First order of business, do a full and complete service. Change all fluids and filters.

Engine oil and filter

Transmission oil

Coolant

Flush and refill new Brake and Clutch oil

Transfer case oil

Front and rear diff oil

Check and test engine cooling system.

Hoses and belts

Plugs and wires

Grease all joints and shafts where applicable

So you have a good worry and problem free season

Congrats @Fuad I guess everybody got to it before I could even think of answering any questions. You've seen my Pathy I am not much of a mod guy, but I think ground clearance could be an issue at Fewbie+ level and above. But first you need to feel the need for the mod and be specific so we can all help in making your rife closer to what you need out of it.
