    New old guy with a new old Xterra starting a build

    New member with a recently bought 02 Xterra SE. Still in the base lining phase with the intent to build for reliability and safety. Today was the first chance to take it out and try it on a local FS road that leads to an old mine site up on the flank of the Black Hills south of Mingus...

    265/75 vs 235/85

    Greetings! First post in the Nissan forum. Yesterday I picked up a 2002 SE Xterra/125K in great shape with all maintenance up to date, but it needs new tires. Plans are for a day trip/adventure/exploring truck so maybe expedition lite? Backroads, forest service roads, up to moderate trails...

    Preferred Gen 3 year/model?

    I'm really looking for a good Gen 2.5 to build from but not having much luck. It seems the Gen 3 does OK for overlanding/exploring, is there a preferred year? Quite a few Gen 3s to look at a reasonable distance away. Is there a reference that spells out the different generations? thanks

    Gen 2.5 towing?

    New here with a question. I'm looking at a couple of Gen 2.5s this weekend 400 miles away. Will want to tow or trailer it home so the boss won't have to make the drive home solo in her car if I buy one. If it looks sounds promising we'll drive the truck and rent a dolly or trailer there...
