So I'm getting slowly growing cracks in my radiator support, anyone else experiencing this on off-road vehicles? Some examples, my 2004 Xterra (2" body lift, 3" suspension lift) Has anyone else experience this? I'm assuming it's partially to do with driving offroad (rattly logging roads...

Switched trucks to a 2004 Xterra last year, parting out the 03. Info on the truck: got rear ended (accident was minor) and decided it wasn't worthwhile paying for body work, so decided to keep the truck as a parts truck. It's a 2003 Xterra SE, only 108,000 miles on it!!! After I got it, I...

So I've had the transmission temp light go on a few times now, I'm assuming because I'm rolling on 33s vs the stock 29 tires plus offroad bumpers and fully loaded truck (04 Nissan Xterra), decided to get a transmission cooler. Seems like most of the tranny coolers are just passive heat sinks...

Selling an engine from my previous Xterra. Got rear ended and decided it wasn't worthwhile paying for body work, so decided to keep the truck as a parts truck. Ended up getting a supercharged 04 Xterra, so don't need the engine as a spare, hence the sale. 2003 Xterra SE, only 108,000 miles on...

Selling my sliders. These utilize existing factory threaded bolt-on frame mounts. No drilling needed. The only reason I'm selling is because I added a body lift to my truck, so these no longer fit. These are in great condition, honestly just used them as step rails... Details: - Overall length...

Was confused by the various 'ratings' I saw on different shackles, ended up doing some research to understand, figured I'd share - I'm sure others will find this useful. Amazon and other offroad sites are full of cheap D-shackles. You can get them for less than 10 bucks. However not all...

Wanted to run some snow chains, but was worried that I would have some clearance issues, so decided to do a little test; figured others might find this useful: ---- My truck: My Xterra is a 2004. Have a 2" body lift as well as a ~2+ suspension lift. For the suspension lift, I'm running stock...

I was driving up a sustained uphill, maybe 20min drive, gaining about 500m. The road was rough'ish, but nothing hard. Was shifted into 4Low. The 'A/T temp' light came on. I stopped let the engine run for 5min, then turned off the car and turned it on again - light was gone. Is this normal...

So I recently did a 2" body lift and did the radiator drop relocation (AC kit) to ensure the radiator was in line with the fan and I could reattach the lower radiator shroud. Everything seemed to work well while driving pavement, but after a few hours of driving on a rough 4x4 road I guess the...

Trying to connect an aftermarket radio, but ran into a challenge, wondering if you guys can help! So on my previous Xterra, I put it an aftermarket radio, was super easy -> just got one of those Metra connection harnesses, connected the harness wires to the aftermarket radio, and then just...

Installing a winch, so figured I'd test my battery and alternator. Battery is reading 12.6v when the truck is off, which I think is perfect When the engine is running (at idle) I'm reading 13.99v - I thought a healthy alternator should be between 14.2 and 14.5v? Does the mean the alternator is...

And... I recently totalled my Xterra :( :( Have a bunch of aftermarket parts that can be salvaged, so looking to replace with another 1st gen. Had 32s (KO2s) on it with Shrock bumpers, it was definitely a bit underpowered when loaded up. Thinking of maybe getting a 03-04 Supercharged... Also...

So my NAPA Power (starting) battery is dying, I think I discharged it one too many times About to get a Warn 10k lbs winch, and often run lights while camping (engine off), so thinking I should invest in a battery that can actually get drained and recharged multiple times without crapping out...

Hey guys, Which vehicle is better for off-road driving, 1st/2nd gen Xterra or Tacoma? So I currently own an 01 Xterra (3" suspension lift, 32s). Love it and it has taken me to some amazing places on rough roads, but it's getting old. Almost 300k km, and a bunch of work needed: idler arm and...
