    when my wife and I slept in the back of our xterra, we got some coreplast and used it to fill in the back pair of windows, then we hung a "curtain" from the back window to block that light, we could leave the windows down and all that was visible was a small crack, it kept a nice breeze blowing...

    Opinions needed: Xterra, or alternatives?

    the second gen is more reliable than the first, i bought a high mileage second gen 08 that has had almost no issues since I bought it a couple years ago. TPMS Sensors and tires and oil changes are pretty much the only thing thats been done.
