2008 V8 Pathfinder, family truckster log.

I know these V8 Pathys are rare and I happened to stumble across this listing in Buffalo, NY

On the way back to finish up his Miata I told him the only way to feel the full potential of this motor is to engage auto 4WD but that seems abusive. 

I dont think high range is abusive. Sometimes i floor it in 4low in various vehicles and feel like that is vaguely abusive. But not high range... 

If these have the same front diff as the trucks, id be careful flooring it in 4wd. The front diff housing is aluminum and if your spinning the front tires and they grab, your diff housing can crack. 

Great truck btw, im a huge nissan fan. 

In reply to John Welsh :

Mine had 119k on it when I bought it.  I would take that one, looks like $6500 was a decent price.

143,500 miles, new tires.  Take offs from an F150, 275/65/18, 10mm wider plus 5% taller sidewall.

Bad day for pictures.

Looks much better to me with the fenders filled in a bit.

Next time it will either get All Terrains and a lift or short and fat with lowering springs.  A Nismo Pathfinder sounds good to me.    

Fresh oil and topped off the washer fluid today.  Mobil 1 because that’s what Costco has on sale.

144,800 miles.

Speedo still reads a couple mph low even with the taller tires.

Also noticed that the climate control is acting a little wonky.  It blows hot but won’t auto regulate, ugh I have to adjust the fan speed manually.

Sounds like the common problem is in the control panel with the buttons on it, time for my first repair project on this.
