Hello all!
I'm Ryan, or as my close friends and family know me "Ryno". Lots of very good information. Anywho so I just acquired my second 1.5 gen 2003 xterra. First one was totalled in an accident in 2015 R.I.P. this Xterra has special place in my heart though. It was my dream truck when I graduated high school in 2003. It's the very rare atomic orange and 4wd!. I bought it in February 2020 with 127,000 miles. It's not perfect but in overall decent shape. It was a northern car so it does have some minor rust issues but nothing major. I bought it for $2650 so I'm not complaining lol. I've always liked these SUVs. They fit my outdoorsy lifestyle and the reliability of them helps encourage me to keep doing what I love because at the end of the day I don't have to worry about making it back home. So everyone, meet Tigger!

thank you for all the helpful information Kent R

Great name for you Xterra. I always liked them because of the stadium seating.

 

[ryno9562]

Thank you. That's one of my favorites too. But my top favorite is how basic they are. Traditional manual shift t-case and locking hubs. The only traction control is your right foot. It does have abs which works really good (even on the loose stuff) and ya know for a 4000 lb SUV the brakes are pretty darn good. Oh yeah, almost forgot. They are easily repaired in the field too with minimal tools.

Thanks. As said in my original post. This was my dream vehicle in this color when I graduated high school in 2003. Only took me 17 yrs to get one Haha. Nissan only produced 993 in this color. So far I have only seen 2 other orange ones in my state and neither were 4x4.

2003 Atomic Orange Nissan Xterra 4X4 Overland Build (Codename : Tigger) Picture Heavy

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...
