98 Pathfinder

[D.Carver87]

Got a new to me 1998 Pathfinder lifted on 31s with just over 200k on it.. Runs and drives 4x4 works going to start the basic maintenance on it.. I'm fairly good with turning a wrench but just wanted to ask some advice from the experts as most my knowledge is on Gm motors... What should i be looking for?? What needs to be replaced?? What should i be ready to replace?? Thanks for any help/advice

Did you by any chance get any service history with it? If everything seems to be in working order I'd be thinking of a few key maintenance items:
- last time fluids/filters were changed: engine, trans, transfer case, Diff.
- Suspension: be sure to check upper and lower rear control arms for worn out bushings. If you have pretty obvious rear sway action going on then they are the main culprit.
-Saved the "biggie" for last: timing belt service. With 200K, the vehicle should be on its second timing belt. If you're not sure when it was done last you need to take care of that one.
