I bought a 2006 Nissan XTerra for $750 with a bad transmission. In the last video we swapped it out for a working transmission and got it back on the road. Today we're going to finish up all the little odds and ends I wanted to do to the Xterra and get it out the door. I didn't realize how much 2nd gen Xterra's sell for when I originally bought it so I was pretty surprised when I found it out will easily bring $4,000 and I have less than $1,000 in the truck.

This is exactly like the fog light upgrade in the 8th gen Corolla I had as a kid. The wiring harness was already there. Just needed an upgraded stalk, a flasher relay, and the fog lights themselves. One of the first projects I did more complicated than oil change, brakes, and rotors, as I built up experience and confidence to do my own car repairs.

Did anyone notice in the beginning how he tried to cut the box of struts straight down the side then the scene cut to him opening the box properly? 😂 😂 😂
Use vice grips on the other bad strut when you pull the first one off. No need to hold the tailgate up with a jack or even your shoulder. That’s what I do every time I need to replace them. Nice, safe, easy, and quick.
Stubby Phillips, sounds like a jazz musician
I love Exterra II had a 2006 and loved it. Sorry I had to get rid of it. It just need engine work. Never had any issues other than replacing a battery and tires and a brake job. Had 90k mile. It ran great..
Dude seriously thanks because I didn't know that this is how you put a fog light in a car that doesn't have them 👍👍👍

He's only asking $4k that shows what a fair and honest and great guy he is. I swear I've been shopping around for a 2006 Nissan Xterra with about the same miles and EVERYONE is asking at least $8k or more. Greed has taken over the used car market

The Xtera has always been one of my favorite SUVs, but right now I’m really digging the XUV. Would try to find one , but as you showed parts are so hard to find,
You know the hatch struts are good when it makes the suspension bob when it's opened. Never gets old seeing you replace them lol
Thanks for the fun JRGo, very satisfying to see the XTera return to 100% sorted.
Congratulations 300K. Love the contents!
Good to see you giving this ole girl another chance at life. Ive had my '05 since 2007 and she's always been reliable.
"Stubby Phillips" sounds like the name of a country and western singer.
Really like these repair videos
Love this one too. These suvs u brought back are all amazing
I've always loved these rigs... thanks for saving this one!
Good job man, keep up the good work! Your the type of men we need!
Great video Jr, really like the contentand the progression of the shop! Looking forward to more videos!
Love the sound of new struts
It’s cool to see the C5 again ! Looking forward to seeing more of it ! 👍

Congrats on 300k subs man. Love the channel keep it up!
I’d like to see a video where you did all the fluids in the Xterra.
Great video. Looking forward to the selling video!
That snap in light switch with the fog light setting and lights auto on/off is a nice feature and is much easier than removing the wheel and clock spring. It definitely pays to go OEM on a fog light kit.
Congrats on 300k subs!
Once again another great video. JR's used car emporium. Always fresh hood and trunk/ hatch struts.
CONGRATS ON 300k
JR loves his new hood/trunk struts
Nice job on the 300K subscribers! How about doing an new radio with Bluetooth and adding steering wheel controls? It's pretty easy. The clock spring has the extra wiring support and while yes you do need to pin it the same pins are in the plugs you remove with the old cruise control switches. You may have to re-pin the kits from the 'net but that's pretty easy. Just look at the existing for cruise and horn. The other pins really don't mater in placement as long as you do the backside of the wheel in the same way. A multi meter is a great way to determine it. If you put in a Sony radio you can essentially wire the three wires you get from the steering wheel switches right to the pigtail from the Sony. The Sony radio has fully programmable SW configurations. I just did my conversion on my '07 Frontier the other day finally. Works great! Autolights would work if you put in the dash sensor in the top of the dash. There might be a pigtail there for it. You need to turn it on though with the scan tool. Have a good one! -Jon
The worst part of a WatchJRGo video is when its over.
New sub just bought an 06 Xterra
vice grips (locking pliers) worked well on some of the struts I changed. Helps to keep the hood or trunk open, while you are changing the second one.
need to change that radiator due to the milkshake of death and timing chain guides
Well done on the 300k next step is one million and gold play button
I don't even like those, but I like that one. Nice job JR
i usually can't stand your one handed mechanicing but doing it blind adds a whole nother dimension that makes it.....interesting.
Wow I have so much respect for you. There is no harder working dude on KZread and I know you have a spectacular life ahead. You deserve it. Love your channel.
That's a heckuva flip!
THANK YOU! I didn't know about programming the remotes, either. Our $1K XTerra came with remotes, but it had been sitting so long the batteries had to be replaced. I was wondering why the remote still wasn't working. :)
300K, One million by Christmas!
Xterra’s are great, I have an old 2005, it’s quick and goes everywhere. There are a few first gens around town that look brand new still
GM vans you can supposedly add cruise if the harness has the plugs, my 02 2500 does and I've got the parts and just never did it because reaching into the throttle body to put the cable on is a pain in the rear. It seems they have two wiring harnesses, a bare bones one, and a full on one, but they sold two option packages, one had cruise and tilt wheel and one added power windows and locks. So a power window without cruise has the wiring for cruise. They did still add another harness section for power windows, that runs across the cowl from door plug to door plug, so I'm not sure if you can convert to power windows on a cruise/tilt but if you had a donor for that harness it will go on any one.
Thats all fine and dandy JR, NOW lets get working on the Corvette!!!!!

Same here, saw a red one today and immediately thought of JR.
I installed the fog light kit in my wife’s ‘07 a few months ago. I only needed to undo the front edge of the wheel liners to install on the ground. No jacks or lift. It did set off the airbag warning light for some reason. The reset sequence failed to work and code says it’s the front sensor. There is a recall on them, so going to try that route.
People really don't understand the value in these, I've saw the insides of the RE5R05A and they are actually robust, just an error (or possible money grab) from the engineers at Nissan by have the trans line and radiator connected. Nice to see someone who appreciates them!
I just worked on my friends 2004 Xterra w/ 155k kms and it had never had the fuel filter changed. It made such a big difference to performance!
One of these days I aspire to get have enough money to get one of your cast off cars
Never have packing peanuts regret. Lol another successful flip for you. Keep it coming.
My dad has one of these and he never let me buy it, ever since been tryna find one and here you are with one😂 goodluck with it, it's a great truck
I did see a yellow Xterra last week at the bank.. It was in real good shape.
My Mazda 6 also has the connector but doesn’t have fog lights. It should be easy but I can’t put a fog light switch in cuz I might ruin it 😂
Just need to donate that one to someone. I had a 2010 (that Duncan found in the salvage yard) that I really miss. They are great vehicles. Wish I could get yours from you!
I remember changing out the fog lights on my XTerra. Simply added KC off road lights to the front steel bumper lol.😆
If you get a piece of pvc pipe just big enough to go around hood/trunk shock and cut it to the length of the silver part of the shock when extended, it will hold hood/trunk/hatch up whenever you open and wedge between the black part and the mount on the end. Then whenever your ready to close it, slide it over the black part and it stores in place ready to use. This can be an extended temporary fix letting you define how temporary! And super simple, no tools needed!!
Cool project. 👍
I put those same struts on my '06 a couple weeks ago. They lasted 1 week before one of them blew out. I currently have a different brand on order.
Great Job
thanks for the video!
Cars should also have a fire extinguisher
Man that is an easy way to program remotes!!
JR, a 1 1/2" putty knife works great for popping tabs.
Wow, that was quick,
We never really got to see this rig driven, would nice to see her rolling.
Big 300!
great job
Great man wow i love nissan cars.👍
I learned something about driving in fog. Turn the instrument lights off (dash), and be amazed at how much better you can see the road. Oh, and SLOW DOWN, N.E.OH Bob
I had a 2004 xterra. They are good cars
must yell MAX POW every time you open the trunk 😂
A WatchJRGo Tradition? Hatch Struts!!!
That type of packing peanut is made from corn so they are water soluble. Just chuck em in a sink and run some water and they disappear in a minute or so.
Watched all the Xterra vids.. Like you, I've wanted one of these trucks/suvs ever since they came out. Now that I am involved in trail running/ultra marathons, getting a lil more serious in finally getting one as a way to drive out and about and hit the trails. Did you sell this one yet? I keep seeing some around my area +/- 50 miles ranging from 10K-15K for the 2012-2014s.. less when the mileage is 200K +. ugg! anyhoo.. Thx for the videos!
Nice return on investment if you can get the $4K . Great job. You need a few more like that.
Fantastic!
JR, can you do a remote starter install in the future?
NEW HATCH STRUTS! NEW HATCH STRUTS!
That’s a steal for $4,000!!!
I can't remember where I found it but there was a trick to bypass the light relay and allow the fog lights to turn on without the headlights.
Can usually just crank wheel over all the way, unclip/bolt the wheel well liner and sneak the arm in to get to the light assemblies - save those minutes:)
Any chance you can take care of the timing chain guide whine before you sell it? Only $100 in parts with a good amount of labor but your buyer will be purchasing a well sorted out Xterra.
