03 should be a 2.5lt v6.

if it is this model you should have no problems.

if it is the 2lt v6 look out for the spark lead under the coilpacks.
most have dramas with these.

is it the facelifted model? if it has the alloy front diff it will break pretty easy off road with just bigger tires, the later ones are steel so much better

rear axles are weak if you fit a locker and get too excited with em as well

Manuals are always steel front housings.

It should still be under factory warranty? check rear main seal not leaking.
