2012 Pathy wtih 137k miles

I just lost the ’05 Pathy shown in my profile picture with Travel Trailer. Insurance Co. totaled it and she is gone forever (so I can’t take parts off of it).

I now have a 2012 Pathy LE4x4 with 137,100 miles (has v6 not v8 ). I bought it 2 weeks ago and have driven barely over 200 miles on it.

What I lost on my ’05:
Drilled & Slotted rotors w/ lifetime brakes
2-month old Pathfinder S/AT tires :-(

What I just bought for my ’12:
Double Drilled & Single Slotted rotors (http://www.ebay.com/itm/271862327885?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
Opt7 55w HID HI/Low front headlights (just bc I wanted to lol)http://www.ebay.com/itm/141297285398?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
Husky cargo bed liner (bc I'm a disabled vet who uses a service dog - he rides in the back) http://www.ebay.com/itm/231167634720?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT

What I THINK I want to get:
1) OBX Throttle Body Spacer http://www.ebay.com/itm/151522489301?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
2) Cold Air Intake (Nismo)http://www.ebay.com/itm/161828802666?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
or (K&N) http://www.ebay.com/itm/371292320764?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
3) Anyone know of a really nice dog ramp for the back of this vehicle? Automatic maybe... that would be nice!!
Opinions?
Final thought:
Since I just lost my Pathfinder S/AT tires http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direc ... xposed=brd and winter rapidly approaching, I’m considering buying a set of rims and tires so I can swap my current OEM 18”x7.5 rims wearing NITTO Crosstek rubbers. But while shopping on Discount Tire Direct I noticed after entering my veh’s info the only rim size available was 18”x8.5…http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direc ... vid=020730
Is this ok?
Generally speaking I am only using this for daily ‘just around the town’ type of driving with the occasional 2-4 hour trips. I tow my Travel Trailer at least 1x per year in November for Man Camp (hunting season, lol). I live in the North East with winters ranging from Oct – Feb ‘ish
Thank you all in advance for your thoughts. And just fair warning, NO!, I will not install a muffler that makes it sound like an angry bumble bee. But will consider a disco ball and possible fuzzy dashboards lol

Get the intake manifold spacer, especially if you tow. Best mod for the pathy.

I agree.... Don't waste your money on the throttle body spacer; everyone that buys one says it's a waste of money and they don't notice any difference in performance. Get the intake plenum spacer, instead.

XTP

You may want to replace your serpentine belt with your millage. Your hoses prob just check as the miles were put on fast they are prob fine.

Great point! I'll have my mech. change that next time it's there just as a preventative thing.
