Hi Everyone,

Been a long time owner of a '95 Pathfinder, but had to get rid of her. She's old, guzzles gas, and no longer suits our growing family's needs.

After test driving a ton of Pathy's in the 01-04 range, on a whim, I decided to look at a 4Runner, even though the prices were significantly more.


So, I ended up test driving an 03 4Runner Sport with the V8. I fell in love and ended up buying it, even though I still looked at more Pathy's after the initial test drive.


I dont have pics right now, but she's been babied by the previous owner, and has 172K KM's on it (about 107K miles). It's in the shop right now getting a new timing belt, water pump, cooling flush, P/S flush, and tranny flush. I will be doing plugs, transfer case, diffs, and oil myself.

I wont be doing a ton of mods to it, as it is one of our family cars, but my wife and I have always been avid back-woods campers. My Pathy has a lot of discrete mods to simply harden it a bit, but it appears stock to the untrained eye - that will most likely be the same with the 4Runner.

Anyhow - glad to be a part of this huge, informative community!

Welcome Haute! I just purchased an 06 Limited with the same millage and engine. Loving this thing so far! However, the exhuast manifolds are known to crack on the V8's prematurly, tons of good info on this site to search regarding this. Unlike me, you have more options and aftermarket support for this, I beleive the 05's and up have no aftermarket support and can be a real costly pain.

Cheers from Calgary!
