Hopefully that means that Nissan will bring them back into production. I've loved 2 of them and recently traded my 2012 in for a Frontier because there was no Xterra to replace mine. I'm hoping with the increased popularity of the SUVs like the new Bronco, 4Runner and such that Nissan will see that this is a prime time to bring this back.

Bro these Nissan frontier/xterras are so badass. I'm so happy I picked up my Fronty Pro 4x!

I have a 2008 I bought for my son. 167k miles , new trans in 2018, needed new cats (very common) and a couple other small things. The truck is smooth, powerful and is almost entirely rust free. Ive debated getting rid of my Gladiator and buying like a 2012-15 pro 4x for myself.

Since Nissan update their Frontier with awesome design, I wish they could bring back the Xterra! (Proudly 2012 Xterra Pro-4x owner)

Full appreciation for a very nice ride that did not require a winning lottery ticket. These were very capable truck from the start. Good foundation for your build. As you get a few dollars ahead you can make changes as you want to. Good luck with your truck, well done. 👍

I love mine. I just bought it for 3,000. It’s not new by any means, but it’s really cool.

That’s a clean rig. Nice job with the mods too. Well done.

I have 220k with 4" lift ZERO issues. Been on several trips with a jeep gladiator rubicon and the xterra has been able to do just about all the gladiator can. Pretty awesome platform.

Great buy and you will not be dissapointed. We love Nissans for offroading!!

Around 10:05 - Yes, the driver seat wear and tear on the Xterras is *very* common imo it's probably the jumping in & out of the truck and likely the type of material used on the seats Had on '05 i regretfully got rid of 7 years ago. I loved it so much...and miss it dearly. I'm currently about to purchase an '06 as i write this Xterras are the bomb 😎✌🏽

Great video ! and awesome and amazing truck build he got !! I hope my Xterra one day will look like that.. I got it not so long ago .. and now I am working on it.. fixing it , making it better little by little )) it will be a long journey but its a fun one. Who knows maybe on day I get my truck on your channel too lol for now.. I just film what I can do what I can fix and upgrade

That is a great find! 160K on that engine is nothing. That Nissan V6 is a reliable beast. Sucks gas, but ultra-reliable with great power. I am with you, Andre! I really wish Nissan would bring back the X-Terra with that new Frontier styling and frame as a starting point.

This kid did an awesome job - kudos to him! I would absolutely love to own this rig. I still have my 2006 OR in the same silver as this one, running DuraTracs. I preemptively changed the rad out, did the rear transmission vent line hack, and it still runs great with no timing chain issues thus far. Only thing is that the terrible salt in Ontario has given it some bad underbody rust. If/when it eventually dies, I'll be looking for a 2014/2015 Pro X as a replacement. I love how nimble it is, and the engine has good low end gusto. I don't need electronic frills of any kind to drive.

Just got mine for $1500. Single owner, 185k miles. However, I know the owner and he took care of it. The transmission was also replaced 10k miles ago.

nice mods and looks like a good off roader.

What a badass Xterra! I just bought mine in 9/20. I live in Colorado also. I got a 6 speed manual in mine as well. Couldn't drive anything else. Exact same color. It's called Silver Lightning. I'm lovin' it so far. I wanna turn her into one just like this. This video is very inspiring. Also, my driver side seat has the exact same tear on the exact same spot. Lolol! Do you happen to know the Facebook group this guy belongs to? I'd like to join it to chat with fellow Xterra owners.

I hand stitched my seat and came out awesome 👍🏻

Oldman Emu lofts for these are awesome!

Here for the XTerra

Fixing it up, modifying and maintaining a high mileage rig is part of the adventure.

The driver’s seat problem is a common one. Mine had the same issue. I miss it, bought it new in 2006 and kept it 12 years before I had to sell it. Loved the six speed, and that VQ40 pulled really hard. I surprised plenty of wannabe racers in their Civics and Accords with that thing 😂

I REALLY like the X Terra. I used to have a 1988 Nissan Desert Runner back in the day. Awesome truck, and it had the Baja front/rear bumpers, Baja Roll Bar that extended to the rear of the bed and the tire stand, it also had the VG30 V-6. Manual front locking hubs, manual 5 speed trans. That truck lasted FOREVER,,,,, Lol ! I sold it with 240K miles on it, and the only thing i ever had to replace, was the timing belt, a clutch, and a slave cylinder,,,,very minor stuff.

My 07 still running great at $222k. Keep an eye (or ear) on the aux timing chain issue. Mine are still ok but eventually will change those tensioners out...

I bought a mint 2002 xterra 3 month ago. Completely stock, and according to the carfax it stayed in the same family since new. The 3.3l V6 is very slow, and sucks up gas. But it's reliable.

I bought a 2007 last summer paid $8k with 111000 miles off road pakage up graded 6 cd stero and tow pakage love the vehicle i pull a Foresr River A frame pop up with great milage when towing 14mpg

I had an 01 and traded it in for an 07 Off-Road. When they redesigned the it in 05 I waited a couple of years to trade my 01 for it. Both were great vehicles, my 07 was a beast. The only issue I had was paint. The channel on the roof was cracking and flaking off. The seat is an issue, mine was starting to wear.

Angel seems like a sharp kid...

While I got a 2004 and honestly I love it with a passion really, amazing car. They actually made a new model of it but it’s not sold in the U.S.A unfortunately

I love the Xterra. Sold my 2006 at 198000 miles and not a single issue with it ever. It's a beast. I regret selling it and looking for another one but they are going up andbup in price. For the worn seat, here's my tio, keep the damn side steps on, step on it when you enter or exit, grab hold of the handle bar on the A pillar and lift your butt into the seat, no problem. Didn't have a worn seat when I did that.

Y’all should see my frontier 😅. I’m happy their not popular, I’ve taken complete advantage of it and upgrade the whole think on the cheap.

Tons of options as well!

I came to my XTerra the same way. I was looking at 4Runners, but the price was more than I wanted to spend for those miles. Found my 2015 Pro 4X with 86k miles and I love this SUV. It is definitely a slept on SUV. The only downside is the aftermarket support. While you can find almost everything you need as far as upgrades, there are fewer companies that make them compared to Jeeps and Tacomas/4Runners so they tend to be expensive. The biggest issue to watch for in pre-2011s is with SMOD issues where the faulty radiator leaked into the automatic transmission creating the 'strawberry milkshake of death' and eventually grenading the transmission.

Very cool video.

Yes. Another Nissan. Time to dip into the old skool bag and pull out the great Nissan fleet. They made some awesome machines back in the day. Did you guys get the Nissan Patrol over there? That thing was a beast, and still is.

Keep the manuals alive!

Nice truck.👍🏻 Definitely get those sliders before bigs rocks happen..

Yeah man, feel ya...I had a 03 4runner up to 178k miles and the entire brake booster system went out. Toyo is aware of the issue for those gen 4runners and had not issued a recall. I mean the thing went out on me on the road. Years later I started looking at FJ's and possibly other 4runners BUT said to hell with their overpricing and I ran across a 2015 Xterra Pro4x with 70k miles and got that instead. Really like these things...it turns on a dime, agile little thing and great off road. Good looking setup ya got there, I need to mod mine dammit

Great trucks, totally agree it's a 4runner for half the price and they even have a better rear overhang. Only problem is you really need the off road package otherwise they don't come with brake vectoring or anything so the 4x4 system is pretty old school.
