It does all those things you have listed just fine. Only one that might be questionable is #5. Don't expect Jeep level aftermarket and you should be satisfied with the available aftermarket. For a short time I had 2 toddlers and a teenager back there. Now we mostly use the minivan for family...

They sold 17K+ a year for the last 5 years. Last 2 years the beat the Titan and were neck and neck for the previous 3 years. The frontier beat them both by a large margin... but the went ahead and revamped the titan anyway and killed the X. This is disappointing Nissan.

So um, you don't actually even expedition travel and you might as well be doing it is a 2 wheel drive minivan (payload, mpg, handling on road). There are a lot of legal places to adventure still. Maybe some of them are accessible by Subaru. I wouldn't drive my Subaru the same places I...

That was my point. There are too many variables to make a judgement call on one truck vs one truck or one brand vs one brand.

1-2 MPG. I have a 6 speed and 3.69 gears so I don't think it translates directly. The 255s do seem to get a tiny bit better mpg then the 285s. They also weigh less. I like the 255s for the trails. On the highway I would rather have my 285s on. In town I really can't tell much of a...

Yes 3.13. It will be fine. Lots of Xterras run 33s with that gear ratio. It isn't perfect and you will notice an acceleration and MPG difference but it isn't much. I hear that the 255 st maxx are short 33s (like 32.8") vs the km2 255s which are tall (33.3" and actually measure 33.5" new)...

Tires do make a differnce but more then that driver, lines, what phase the moon is in.... I am partial kidding but I have seen rigs with similar builds go up the same obstacle with similar lines and it is always different. Some get stuck. Some get over. Heck, I have been down trails that I...

The xterra doesn't fail as a crawler. I mean, I guess it matters what you mean by crawler but 1.5" of travel doesn't make the FJ do more trails then the X. At whatever point the FJ starts to fail the X is right there too. Even without the titan swap. It is about the same amount of work to get...

I would agree with that! But I am a serious manual transmission fanatic... And it reality it might not be that hard to find a junkyard m226 w/ e locker to swap in and keep your stock one as a spare. It is a direct bolt in. You would just need to wire the switch.

I wouldn't call it weak. The arb is stronger but the stock one is pretty rugged. They had some issues with spider gears in 2005 and 2006 and some people have had other issues here and there. I think the c200k can go up to 4.10s which may be good enough even with 35s. The r180 can only go to...

The C200 does break. M226 is stronger. How much stronger? Debatable. More gear options for the m226 though. R180 weakness can be fixed with a locker. I am personally not a titan swap fan but it is a viable option. Not sure the pro4x is worth the extra $$ and if I did it again I might...

No worries. Just sharing the info that I know. It is a pain to dig through all the info if you are just starting. It is a big commitment to read all that stuff if you are just researching which rig to buy. Obviously, if you pull the trigger, dig and and search because I am just some crazy...

I will gladly admit that the ones that I know about were heavy footed drivers. One of them was on 35" tires. Like I said, I wheel mine quite a bit and I do not have issues. They aren't glass. They can handle some pretty crazy stuff. Just light on the skinny if you think you are going to...

The first gen xterras are pretty sturdy. Someone else would have to chime in about those since I don't know them as well. The second gen are also sturdy. They are a bit wider and start off with a tiny bit less clearance but that can be fixed with some modifications. I have seen the front...

6'3" 220 side sleeper and I love my ALPS Mountaineering Comfort Series XL. Too big and heavy for backpacking but excellent for car camping. The no slip features work well. Decent price.

I don't have one here but... Lizardking's Minivan

Nice. I almost bought a 2011 frontier pro4x but decided to go Xterra pro4x instead. I love my X but sometimes I wish I had the pickup... Looking forward to the build.
