I looked and didn't see where you specified tire size and I was also wondering if you kept the rear seat or not.

Very impressive build, thanks for sharing!

Rear diff is an H233B Way overkill axle for the Xterra. The thing is huge!

The front Diff is sturdy, the weak points are the Hubs and CV's. Been wheeling it HARD for three years, never broken a half shaft, torn a CV, or exploded an auto hub.

BUT - I carry a spare of each, just in case :)

Thanks, just curious as I am not familiar with these as wheeling vehicles.

Nissan gets around designing new parts for the Xterra by raiding the Patrol parts bin where possible. That is why the rear is so overkill.

Dumped the rear seats. In the process of building a deck similar to the rear cargo area with pullout drawers etc.

That is easily one of the nicest rigs I have ever seen, regardless of make/model :drool: Well done. And I have to agree that the Toyo's are amazing tires. I absolutely love my 37's.
 
They didnt make supercharged Xterras did they? :confused: :drool:

Cool. I honestly didnt know that..... I wouldnt mind the extra hp.

You would the gas mileage and having to use Prem. That's one of the main reasons I traded mine in on an 05. :)

I knew about the premium, but i heard (on the D-L) that you get better mileage in with the supercharger? But I never did any research on the SC nissans. 02-04 I had a Chevy anyways:( .
