    Duel swing out tire/jerry cans

    Unfortunately, Xterra's suffer from not a lot of rear real estate, due to the plastic corners. And due to the pivot point of the arm(s) being further toward centerline, they also start running into hatch interference easily. I have seen where fabricators use offset brackets that put the pivot...

    Duel swing out tire/jerry cans

    It really depends from type to type. I seem to see duals most on LC's. Search dual swing out and Land Cruiser for pics and you will get a lot of ideas. What are you putting it on?

    For those who have built your own body armor, I have a few questions

    My questions: Rocksliders: 1. is Square/round tubing a must? What other shape of metal are you considering. The less corners to catch things, the better, thus, round is ideal. 2. is a bolt on good enough? Because sliders may need periodic repair, refreshing, recoating, bolt on seems to bring...

    Would you buy this trailer?

    Those model trailers are getting harder to come by. Especially if it's in that good of shape, as it appears to be.

    As of now this thread is locked. I see issues with one manufacturer, multiple vendors and shippers in this all being combined into one complaint. OP became member very shortly before posting this and has posted very little after this.

    Question for Nissan Xterra owners equipped with side curtain airbags in their rigs...

    Oh yes, it's a Gen II. The reason I brought the year up is that I wouldn't be surprised if an 05 did it, but those later years I thought it had been addressed.

    Question for Nissan Xterra owners equipped with side curtain airbags in their rigs...

    That's an '05?. I thought that grill/bumper color combination was a later production. Yea, he sure didn't hit very hard. I've hit harder than that. But maybe he hit it "just right".

    Question for Nissan Xterra owners equipped with side curtain airbags in their rigs...

    I had heard about this when the '05/first year came out. Some Xterra's were totaled out by the insurance due to cost. As time has gone by I have heard less and less about this occurrence. Hopefully they made some changes. I have bounced my rig pretty hard and have had it hard over far enough...
