Enjoyed the combo video. Great idea! Jordan has a great Xterra and would have made Tommy’s Demise with a fresher set of MTs. I don’t think he buried his spare until he slid back down. Somehow missed the rock I hit coming out, but there’s almost no traction and he still had to dig through the mud. My tires were still pretty new and I think that made all the difference. Jordan actually took the line at the end of Cottonwood Creek that I was trying to take, but didn’t go left enough. Well done!

i'm assuming the Xterra owner saying he did time in Afghanistan means he is a Veteran. i'm also a vet and i salute his service. however, it's clear he doesn't know how to do "four wheeling" in an aggressive manner. every "seasoned" four-wheeler knows that one of the most important aspects of "off-roading" is to maintain "forward momentum." so when you approach an obstacle or a creek or a mud rut, you accelerate the vehicle and keep the engine revs high to maintain wheel-spin. that is the only way "forward momentum" can be maintained. the LAST thing you do is what this Xterra guy did - "stop" in the middle of the obstacle or rut!

Which is why we're on our second. 3rd X, but 2nd 6speed. Used to be they were cheaper that way. Now you pay more. An automatic Xterra of comparable year, pkg, mileage is a few thousand less than the manual. Sure you can get a wrangler unlimited but something you can really sleep in , this is the last. It was this or a full restomod XJ manual which are getting just as hard to find. The new X we got we had to search for 4 months and ship it. Got it for an automatic price as the dealer had it listed as an auto and a lower trim on their site. Vin search and pics showed a manual P4X, comps were going up to 30k with similar mileage. They dropped it after it sat and we shipped it. Only thing that sucked was an unwanted cold air intake. Would have preferred the nismo or volant if picking. aFe looks like some Walmart snazzy gear. Performs well but I'll need the exhaust and tune to get anything out of it. For me the stock truck is like a sports car anyway as I drive work vans all the time. The other drawback, it had some poor lighting choices. Early LEDs, early light bar, wrong bulbs etc. Sorted.

Also thought about a manual disco. Really the Xs have been as reliable as a Toyota and the parts I'd bet are cheaper. New enough to have a clean frame, decent power figures, and a 6 instead of a 4 or 5 speed. Has just enough electronics. Not so many to be unreliable. Can get us into and out of anywhere we're trying to go, and handles the 1 to 400 mile drive there comfortably. Sure I'd love a triple locked all solid axle vehicle but unless I can afford an Ineos Grenadier and a Titan 5.6 with a Nissan 6 speed to shoehorn into it, Xterra it is. They've mated the 5.6 to the same 6 speed. Curious how hard it would be to fit it to the grenadier tcase. That would be my dream vehicle. Wish they would have gone with Nissan or Toyota engines and transmission instead of BMW. Even just a manual or bringing the diesel to the states would have been cool. Though the diesel is probably just a headache now. Assume it limps on most countries fuel. But they have fancy pants drive modes.... All analog they said.

@@boboyamamoto it's steers great now. This was the stock part from that came with the X when I bought her brand new so it's only got 72k miles but it's almost 15 years old and has been pushing 35s on all kinds of off road trips since 2014 and 33s before that since 2012. I'd say she held up pretty damn well

@@Flying_Dollar_Motorsports Oh yea, sounds like she just got overcooked. What I've done to extend the life is I've added a small little radiator to help with cooling down the power steering fluid because the tiny lock looking cooler that it had didn't do anything and more so with 35's, I'm considering adding a small fan to help push air through the radiators for when I'm stuck though

Why would you show up to a TFL challenge with used up junk tires?

Because I'm moving to another state in 2 months and waiting until I get there to buy tires.

With newer tires he might have made through Tommy's demise.

It annoys me that Nissan won't bring back the Xterra with the new model Frontier being out. It's like the thing is half built already!

The new Frontys still use the same power window buttons as my 2008 X. So it's more than half built!

Use that skinny pedal!

Yeah I could but I had to drive it 1.5 hrs home and don't want to pay for a tow

If youre replacing the center link, why not go with Grassroots with their "thru-bolt" design and eliminate the weak ass design that leads to sloppy steering?

Because I've never heard of it. Maybe it's because their website only lists the first gen Xterra. Are you saying the have something for second gens?

Why can't Nissan just build something like this again ?

Yeah the Frontier is as close as you can get. I think an X based on the new Frontys design would look great!
