Being the engineer that I am, I have read through the posts and learned about sidewall thickness, treat depth and type, snowflakes, and sizes but nowhere have I read about compound. Do all these tires have the same compound ? If you have the said 2 different tires with the same tread pattern...

Hey Edge, is the interior that bad in the pathfinder? I had an 03 and it was very well made and the fit was top notch.

Has anyone ever measured the ground clearance tho? I have a hair over 9" in the rear under the rear diff, and 7.5 under the (reinforcement :confused: ) bars that mount near the side of the front skid plate. Strange that Toyota calls it 9.1" MIN ground clearance..

I meant SHIFT in the last post sorry; another link http://www.thecarguy.com/articles/drivesys.htm there tells that 4WD and AWD are not the same because all wheel drive can direct power to a single wheel. Our trucks can do that! So again, I am confused as always. Gawd I suck at posting.:mad:

Awesome reading. Clears a lot up for me except one thing. In 4WD Hi, we can lock the center diff true, but if you don't? If you don't shit into 4 LO? The link explains that some systems use a center diff lock, some use some other form of spin control other than diff lock, ours has both. I...

I bought the extended warranty, prolly just cause I got the truck for 700 below invoice. One thing that made the sell is that, under the normal warranty, i.e. your brake rotors warp and trash your pads. The rotors are covered under warranty, the pads are not! With the extended deal, from day...

Hey welcome. First off I have to say thank you! About a month ago, I saw your truck on cardomain.com.! It was the insipration for the color and model (SE)! Thanks again! -Johnathan

I have a 4wd I know, but this may help since I am not sure how many 2wd t4rs' there are out there. I am on my 3rd tank. 1st tank was 80% City 20% Highway @ 17.5 MPG (CALCULATED NOT COMPUTER) 2nd tank was 40% City 60% Highway @ 20.1 MPG (CALULATED NOT COMPUTER) Average acceleration (only...

LOL!:lmao: :lmao:

Thanks a bunch ToyotaDoodz! I figured I might want to stay at just lifting the front an inch cause I got a email from Jason at Wheelersoffroad.com and he quoted 1-1.5" lift. I measured the running board height and it varied by an inch from front to back. Thanks again for the info!

ToyotaDoodz, Hey! I see you have the X-REAS as well as the lift. Since we have just about the same ride, except for the V8 :cry: , I was wondering if you noticed any change in handling after the lift; specifically in relation to the X-REAS system? I was going to order a 1” lift which should...

That would be Portland, OR; Dare I say "Rain Country". It is the home of the almighty Portland Trail Blazers... Bwahahahahahahaha :lmao:

I owned a new 03 Pathfinder LE on 03. It was ok on power, a little sloppy in the shifting department. The 0 – 60 was in around 8.5 sec. Mechanically, it was ok but after 6 months, things started going wrong. The rear drums, YES DRUMS ON AN LE started warping and I traded it 6 months later...

See I am a Noob, it is an 05 SE. Sorry.
