Any Xterra's go south?

[roninjiro]

it is new but I don't plan on the trip until at least 5 years out anyhow. 2012 Nissan frontier Dual cab 4x4 base model (simple, effective, and great base for modifications I want)

Nice, I'd love to see what mods you are planning!

 

[roninjiro]

It is about 1/4 done I suppose. I installed an ARB front bumper, lifted the front end accordingly, installed a rubber bed mat, Rigid flood lights (in the mail) and installed a snorkel. I plan to have a flippac (with custom interior), 2 Aux fuse/distribution blocks, OBA, OBHWS, HAM, long range fuel tank, and full OME suspension.

roof tents have looked awesome ... what kind of range can you get with a long range fuel tank in an xterra?

 

[roninjiro]

Around 700 miles I would think being it is double the capacity of the stock tank. But that tank is designed for the frontier or D40, so I could not tell you if that would fit the same generation xterra. That was another reason I sought after this particular truck; it is a worldwide platform where the xterra is not.

 

[vivithemage]

That is true ... but I do like the enclosed everything in the X vs Titan.

I'd love to see your build up, or planned buildup!

he actually has the Frontier, not the Titan. If you want to look at Xterra builds check out thenewx.org . Frontier/Navarra is a world platform and the Xterra shares a lot with it. Cheers

I've been intending to find a 2002-2004 Frontier to get some measurements to see if a larger fuel tank would fit. Otherwise I might look into getting one fabricated locally to fit where the spare tire currently lives.

You are in Canada? Get a patrol

There is a huge difference for any X that is older then 2005! I do look forward to your trip report when you do head out!

We actually don't have Patrols here in Canada either. We pretty much get the same junk available in the states unfortunately

 

[catshark]

Awesome! You should start a build thread for your Xterra. Never too many. I am in the halton area. Have a 2001 Xterra.

I will certainly start a build thread once the weather warms up so I can work on the truck again

dang, I thought I heard that it was legal to have a patrol up there

They haven't been sold new here in a long time. However in Canada you can import any vehicle 15 years old or older

So anything 1998 and before you can import now. That is why there are lots running around up here

Most RHD from Japan

Link to said tank. Shipping from downunder may be killer. http://www.thelongranger.com.au/navara05longrangefueltank.html
