Another great video mate! It’s cool to see how far the pathy has come and to look back at some of the cool things you’ve done and places you’ve been with it!🤙🏼

Hey! I’ve got a 2014 Pajero, just done a lap of Australia doing the great central road, plenty highway and a few other tracks on the way! Not one problem! 15,000km trip in a month and a bit! The car has 232,000km on it already (got it new) and never missed a beat! Yeah it lifts wheels but the traction control works a treat plus the standard rear locker 😍 and sand driving is what it’s made for! Always seem to put drive the patrols and cruisers (obviously cause it’s lighter too) and is a great touring rig! Highly recommend!

I’ve got the 2010 pathfinder and you’re right, knowledge is needed with these cars. We’ve spent thousands trying to sort a problem (stalling), it’s now up to its 5th mechanic and the wiring harness is being tested, even after all the issues it’s still my favourite car. Just been given a 2013 pathfinder, can’t wait to get it to the beach and test it out

What type of lift? Level kit or coil spring lift? I have a 2003 I’m debating which one to go with. I’m thinking coil spring lift for comfort

I've got a 2008 R51, been driving it now for 3 years. I love it, but man... Some of the problems I've had with it are nuts. I had the same issue with the alternator pulley that you did. Had to replace the entire suspension and we did the SCV twice! The worst problem we had was it going into Limp mode, bringing up all the lights on the dash, wouldn't rev past 2500. Couldn't figure that one out for months. Turned out to be the priming bulb to the fuel line had a hairline split in it. $20 to fix that. Another issue was the turbo not kicking in and using up entire fuel tanks in a day. That was fixed by $8 for new vacuum lines. It's been a headache but man it's a great car for camping. We're lucky to have the knowhow to fix it ourselves. For anybody else, this would have cost thousands to maintain. Really happy to hear it going well on the beaches, I just did my first creek crossings since it's actually running perfect for once, even towed a 750kg camping trailer through too. Never ceases to surprise me with how capable it actually is.

I have had my 07 for about 10 years and had the lift kit, big exhaust, clutch, air bags, chip etc. Learnt many lessons along the way. One was that its hard to find techs that can get the wheels aligned properly. Get a quality performance chip fitted, one that does not alter the fuel rail pressure but alters the injector pulse or you will get over fueling that in turn causes all sorts of issues including shortening the life of the engine and injectors. EGR blank is a must. Looking back all I would have done being a casual 4X4 driver is a chip and rear air bags. Otherwise they are a good capable 4X4 if not thrashed.

Otherwise I tow a 3ton RV with a petrol no problem and does all my off-road tracks with almost no issue. Fully independent suspension makes it very nice when cruising down the tracks with a bad lower back😁. Automatic gearboxes are the way to go with the traction control system on these. 4low and slow, constant throttle is the key. Just let the computers work it out and it gets you through Everytime.

Its ok as long as you put loads of money in maintaining and reparing it. Timing chain, clutch, egr are most common things in the 2.5.

Had a 2008 Ti 2.5diesel for just over 6 years (last of the Spanish build). I liked it as a vehicle to drive and very practical, but it cost us a lot of money in repairs. First old mechanic advised not to buy one, I should have listened to him. Current mechanic (a 4WD & diesel specialist) said the same thing, has seen far too many issues and poor design on these. Just under 2 months ago, engine cut out after making a funny noise. Returned to the mechanic and the engine was stuffed, economically beyond repair, probably crankshaft broke. It had done less than 170,000. Now gone to a Toyota. If you have one of these I hope it lasts, but it is not known for its reliability. I notice a few comments about being maintained properly. Mine was, not driven offroad, minimal and light towing. Any car can go wrong but some are more likely to.

They did that so there'd be somewhere for the third-row passengers' legs and feet to go. The Xterra was only offered as a two-row SUV and its rear suspension is live-axle with leaf springs, similar to the D40 Navara/Frontier. What I find funny about this is the Xterra has a weird roof-hump and the rear doors and cargo roofline are taller, but the Pathy is the one that got the third row.

I've got a 2008 Pathy ST-L the same colour. I know mine's got 3.55 diff gears and 31 spline axle shafts, which is nice and strong for its size. So it goes hard in 4x4 on wet bitumen (160km/h) and hasn't broken anything there. I've blown the head a couple times for different reasons like the same little plastic radiator hose overflow point you showed in this vid, and one time cranking the A/C on a 3hr trip home one hot summer's day when I wasn't watching the temp gauge and it ran out of water. Since being rebuild with new injectors it's got WAY more torque. Freaky torque for a turbo diesel 4 (Auto). The only mod I have is cross-drilled/slotted brake rotors. Are your tyres 35s? Also, what suspension upgrade did you use? I'm looking at Superior Eng., but I know there's other options and would like to hear your opinion. I'm also looking at an LS conversion from POWERCURVE ($25-30 grand) with a 6x6 from 6x6 AUSTRALIA ($60-70 grand including wagon extension bodywork). My mortgage is a little more important ATM.

haha agreed !

I have a sliver edition an I I got used an needs a lot work but I been fixing a lot an found I need replace the whole motor yea the drive nice an its well worth it

My dad has one of these and he can’t take it off-road anymore because the 10 year old clutch gave out

Should give the Gen 4 Paj a shot! Very reliable 3.2 Diesel engine which has been around for years with plenty of grunt and get more bang for your buck compared to like a Prado 120/150 for example. Twin locked Paj with 3-4” lift on 33s or 35s with a bit of chopping will keep up with the big guns, but hey I own one so I’m a bit biased... 😂 #Pajlife

They might be lacking in flex as well but that’s made up with the awesome traction control they have. More than happy for you to have a drive of mine to see if you like them but it definitely doesn’t drive like a stock standard one 😅

Main problem with the gen 3/4 is that they're monocoque and you can't fit proper front recovery points without heaps of work, whereas you can buy bolt on ones for the pathy with the ladder chassis. Other than the pajero having an optional rear locker there's nothing between them. Pajero has a slightly better rear seat setup but the pathy has the better interior layout imo. Mate has a gen 3 and we've driven them back to back including offroad.

My r50 goes good , except just swapped a new subframe (kframe) from a parts car ahha

R51 Pathfinder Ti550 is the go

What kind of set up do you have. Have been following you for a while and seen when you lifted it. I have an r51 2011 pathfinder and would live to do some mods to get 33’s if not 35’s. Would like it to look a little more beefy
