Nice looking rig! I have had 2 XJ's, a 1st Gen Xterra (SE Supercharged) and now my P4X Xterra. Really enjoying driving the X over the XJ. Just seems more relaxed to drive. We'll see how it does in the dirt. :)

With that done, then I turned my attention to installing some bits I have bought. After hearing how so many Xterra owners said they wish they would have done this sooner, a set of hood struts to replace the prop rod. Easy 15 minute job and it is so much better. Not only is the hood opened...

Okay, time to finish up the wheel stud issue and get tires installed. Stud came out easy but the splines on the new one weren't much bigger than the original one. Since the grooves in the hub are somewhat rounded out due to the stud spinning, I decided to add some JB Weld metal epoxy to the...

These 3 years, the Pro-4X models came standard with backup camera and navigation system. Nothing wrong with the previous years but I wanted to have those without having to buy/install anything aftermarket. As for why the P4X model in general, they came with Bilstein shocks, slightly larger...

Well... Crisis adverted. Went to get new tires on the Xterra. At some point prior, someone screwed up one of the lugs on the pass front. When they tried to remove it, the whole stud just spun. Not good. Didn't get the tires installed. After watching a few videos and finding out there is a...

Limits are you own abilities, physical clearance and the laws of physics. Give you an idea what a PU-TC can do, this was our old Ram/FWC setup

Just a few items added this weekend. I had picked up a factory Nissian trailer hitch and all the wiring from an auto recycler. One common thing I had read about is where Nissan put the bracket for the trailer plug. It was prone to getting snagged by rocks when offroading. I decided to cut...

Given the D rated tire is only losing 110lbs of capacity per tire, that's not a huge difference as they are still over the GVRW rating of the vehicle. The narrower tire and less rolling weight of the 11.50 will likely help slightly in fuel mileage. Given the weight of the full rig, you might...

I figured I should start up a thread on our newest purchase. April this year (2023) I had a total need replacement. Once I was healed up enough to start driving again, I found with our 1999 Cherokee, the pedals are offset a little to the left and the trans tunnel has a outward slope to it...

This is Yeti, our new to us 2013 Xterra Pro-4X.

Loving this!!! Great job!

Agree, I didn't see any weight listed for the complete rolling frame.

That looks like the factory stuff. Looks like the barrier was pulled off and put back on a couple times, which will make a huge mess. As suggested, WD-40 might work and if not, mineral spirits/acetone.

Yeah, truck pricing (and many cars in general) has gotten insane. 80K truck, 72m financing at 6.5% = what my mortgage payment is (the P and I part). I will never end up buying another new truck.

Do you have any pics of this setup?

Looks like a nice build coming along.

This just dropped and I am not sure if anyone posted it. Very well done approach to testing wide tires versus narrow tires.

Well... picked up a 2013 Xterra Pro-4X last night. Super clean and just over 65K miles. Outside of the color (really wanted the blue or green), it is exactly as I wanted. Moving over to this from my clean '99 Jeep Cherokee. I recently had a knee replacement and found with the narrow footwell...

Thanks for the info. For this build and everything on it, that is about the closest I have seen someone over GVWR. Most are many hundreds or even a thousand or more over GVWR.
