my 2003 xterra is bone stock except for 32" tires and a 1.5" pml. no sliders, skid plates or offroad bumpers at this time. are there any areas of this route i should be concerned about?
I really like the Doug Thorley headers and with tax return coming soon I'll have the extra money to spend on them. Ialso just discovered yesterday that my steering gear box is leaking from the pitman shaft seal so guess what i'm replacing soon! GRRR! I could get a rebuild kit for $15 but...
Next on the agenda is a complete exhaust rebuild to fix the shade tree joe blow redneck repair. Going with Safari Snorkel Doug Thorley headers and and maybe cat delete to hopefully wake up this old VG33E engine.
I like it! You got my gears turning now. I'm looking to put my camper up for sale so I can have some extra money to make my rig more camp-able. I have some other major repairs that need to be done to it first though. I am already past the value of this vehicle with the latest repair so I'm pot...
Great news! After working on Tigger till 2 am I finally finished and he's at the shop getting aligned! Super stoked! He's been sitting on Jack stands since November 4th. I'm so glad to be able to drive my own vehicle again.
Timing belt was done by p.o. and I do plan on beefing up the steering down the road. Eventually I will be getting UCA and IAB from 4x4parts. I got all my urethane bushings, Rancho 5000x shocks and adjustable shackles from them already. I'm currently rebuilding the suspension as we speak...
R.I.P. Tigger
Sorry for the delay on posting this. Life has been kinda hectic lately but, as of June 13, 2022 my pumpkin X is no longer with us This is all because some idiot decided to fly around a blind corner on a back country dirt road on my side of the road and ran me off the road into a...
Rear tire carrier system
So back in September I was chillin' at the house watching some Youtube and cruising Facebook marketplace when i stumbled upon a wrecked Xterra being parted out in Gainesville, GA and this is the first picture I see!
Yes! That is a Shrockworks Rear Tire Carrier...
Rear Differential Breather Extension Mod
So this is a common mod in the 1st gen Xterra community. The 1st gen Xterras had 2 factory options for rear diff breathers. Iam not sure what determines which vehicle gets what.
Option 1: Better of the two, this one mounts to the underside of the rear...
Camping Set-up (RTT & Awning)
So i did a thing! (March 2021)
After dragging my 1998 Coleman Cheyanne Pop-up 150 miles to the beach and burning almost a whole tank of gas, I said "time for camper to go by-by"
So as you can see, it was not a bad camper just didn't have a need for it...
PML (Poor Man's Lift) along with full chassis overhaul
Well here he is all fixed up and riding like new again!
Before
After
The additional height in the rear was intentional. I do tow a camper with this vehicle and did not want the rear squatting too much when towing. While pulling my...
So i finally decided to start a build thread on my Nissan Xterra. He is a 2003 Nissan Xterra XE 4X4 Auto in the incredibly rare Atomic Orange (only 993 ever built). At the time of purchase (February 2020) he only had 127,000 but kinda sorta neglected by the previous owners. I managed to scoop...
